Mark Richt has lost control of the Honey Badger.

On the bright side for Dawg fans:  if there’s a rematch in the SECCG, Georgia’s special teams just got a lot better.

    Rumor has it that this was Mathieu’s *fifth* failed drug test, which means the LSUAD has one heck of an information filter.

    Wow – so he’ll never get a chance to actually score a TD against the Dawgs on a kick return. Damn shame.
    SOMEBODY please help get Richt get this thing under control…please?!?

    Some LSU fans on ESPN actually said he would still on the team with Mark Richt. They are clueless.

    Let’s see, that makes Jones pretty much top D Dawg in the SEC and a run up on Rambo as the upcoming flavor of the year.

    Can’t believe they had the cojones, but we have no idea how many failures/undisciplined chances he had. Must have been a bunch. Inflating an irresponsible kid’s ego has it’s drawbacks. That leaves SOS & D as the two holdouts on disciplining players for public indiscretions.

    The law’s the law and stupidity aside… Its a joke that this kid can’t smoke weed and still play football. Our society needs to get off its ass and finally get around to legalizing marijuana.

        Prisons full of non-violent offenders and a huge municipal/state/federal budget overruns arresting drug dealers that are replaced by new drug dealers the next day (i.e. fighting an unwinnable war).

          One of the many small things I enjoy about this blog is the number of libertarian voices I hear when we meander off topic…although folks can, of course, be pro-legalization and not libertarian…

            You don’t have to be either to recognize the utter failure of the war.
            Every city is a warzone, the US Mex boarder is a warzone, and it’s just getting worse. What are they fighting over? Drug money. Just like Chicago during prohibition….When was anything ever prohibited out of existence? Drugs are horrible whether they’re legal or not. Drugs are available…legal or not. Making them legal will stop (at least most of) the violence. That’s about the best we can do…just like we did with alcohol. Sell it…tax it…and put up with it. You’re going to have to put up with it anyway. Prohibit it and you create a nasty, black market.
            Thanks for indulging me…I’m sorry…I know this is a sports blog…but this thread IS about drug abuse.

              Ugly,
              It was a bit of a challenge to get beer and liquor when I was under 21, not a strong challenge but we had to get creative and cross a few hurdles. Then we’d drink our beer and some bourbon and vodka and go back to doing whatever we did back then: sports, school, small jobs, etc. Occasionally someone would stumble upon some pot or mushrooms and we’d do/try it – it was cool, we liked it but never strayed too far from our beer and bourbon b/c we knew that pot was illegal and we were (for the most part) good kids who knew that keeping it between the lines was the right thing to do, and that pot didn’t facilitate that effort. I knew some guys – good, smart, well-meaning guys – who tried pot and developed a bit too much of a liking for it. These were good kids, on the right paths, were strong in the classroom and on their respective fields, but got off course over time. Not immediately, it was a slow process and one that their parents might not have noticed until it was too late. My point friend is that I believe the illegality of marijuana creates a bounds for many minors who may try it but whose integrity keeps them from going “all in”. I’m not trying to sound sanctimonious and lord knows I’ve made some mistakes, but I never knew anything good that came from recreational pot use. I’m not talking about medicinal uses for cancer patients and such, I’m referring to the casual user who allows pot to lead to worse things. Yes the same can be said for alcohol but I still maintain that beer/liquor and reefer are not the same. I think you make some excellent points re the war on drugs but I’d hate to see us legalize it and create the impression among our children that since it’s legal, it’s acceptable. Then again, WTF do I know?…….

    it’s a shame talented kids like Mathieu and IC would rather blaze up than show a modest amount of self discipline and be stars, but football is only important is it’s important to you, I guess.

    Stewart Mandel is tweeting kudos to LSU for updating the Honey Badgers bio so quickly to reflect the fact that he has been dismissed from the team. The Mad Hatter could teach us all a thing or two about media relations, no?

    The AJC. Confirmation, it is just piss poor journalism. Go ahead AJC and attack both of those schools for what an individual player does. What about the rest of the roster players who remain who had no issue. Yeah, they do not count. The coaches. school, and team mates were the cause.
