can anyone out there give me any info on the players suspended for selling tickets?:lsug: geaux tigers
from LSUsports.net Saban also reported that running back Shyrone Carey and deep snapper Steve Damen have both been declared ineligible for the bowl game for "conduct detrimental to the team." "It's unfortunate for those particular players," Saban said. "They've been a part of the team all year long. I'm sure that each one of those guys wants to play very badly. The consequences of not doing the right things, people have to understand that sometimes there are consequences when you don't do what's right." Carey, a junior from New Orleans, played in eight games for the Tigers and ranked fourth on the team with 338 yards rushing to go with six touchdowns. Damen, a sophomore from Baton Rouge, had served as LSU's deep snapper in all 13 games this year. Saban said he expects either Ben Wilkerson or Gant Petty to snap in Damen's place.
I would like to have Shyrone around, but i agree that Damon is a bigger problem. Those guys should have kept their minds right.
I need to stress this!! steve Damen did not sell any tickets!!! he gave shyrone carey a phone number for someone who wanted to purchase some tickets, that's it. he did not sell his tickets!!
I say we don't need Carey or this other guy......... Thier not worth it, The distraction from all of this will hurt us much more than losing these players... WE all know how distractions can hurt a team. Nick Saban will not put up with this... His teams are disciplined
I don't think this rates a dismissal. Tickets selling for 4 figures is a big temptation to a guy who's never had anything, and Nick will have compassion. But I do think he should suspend them for 1 or 2 games next season to keep the team focused on the rules.
