He gave LSU fans 2 of the most exciting years of individual play I have ever seen. As far as I'm concerned I'm thankful for those 2 seasons and hope he and every Tiger have great NFL futures including every other game Sam.
I think the drug laws hurt the LSU fan base much, much worse than they hurt TM7. Had we had TM7 last year, we are National Champs, giving Miles two NCs and Saban two NCs at Bama. Not to mention getting another year to enjoy one of the most exciting Tigers in the history of LSU sports. How do you put a price tag on what that would be worth collectively to the hundreds of thousands that make up Tiger Nation? It's a lot more than whatever TM7 loses by not going a few rounds higher in the draft of 2013 TM7 is still a national celebrity, still going to get drafted, still make a minimum of half a million a year, and still has a great shot at having a long NFL career at least as an elite special team player and situational DB
We came one play from beating Bama and going to the SEC Championship Game vs Georgia (and you saw what TM7 did vs Georgia in the SECCG) TM7 even publically came out at the Senior Bowl and told the AP that... He doesn't smile when talking about eventual national champion Alabama's winning touchdown against the Tigers in November, which essentially knocked LSU out of title contention. It came on a screen pass to T.J. Yeldon when freshman cornerback Jalen Mills blitzed. ''I would have given everything'' to be on the field, Mathieu said. ''That was a freshman on that blitz and I would have been a junior so I would have known that play was coming. I would have been able to do something. ''It hurts, but it's something that I've got to live with now.'' We had a whole thread on it here: http://www.tigerfan.com/threads/tm7...would-have-known-that-play-was-coming.105710/ And even if TM7 wouldn't have been able to make one big play anywhere in the Bama game to give us the win... Let's say we wouldn't have won the NC with TM7 last year...just the getting another year to enjoy one of the most exciting Tigers in the history of LSU sports would have been worth much more collectively to the hundreds of thousands that make up Tiger Nation than whatever TM7 loses by not going a few rounds higher in the draft of 2013
i dont care about him smoking pot. i care about him getting kicked off the team because he cant follow rules. he is just like perrilloux. dont know about you, but i have stupid rules to follow, too.
