    He will surely get picked up by some small school, that will look the other way regarding his transgressions, and most likely still get into the NFL. Al la Randy Moss and Cecil Collins.

    Once he makes the NFL, as long as he is not actually in jail, he will get to play. Look at Pac-Man Jones. I bet Mike Vick is right back under center when he gets out. Hell, Ray Louis was involved with murder! I could go on but you get the point.

    RP's football opportunities are far from over.

    Why are you so obsessed with Dandydon?

    Because hejust likes to be down on people that get more respect in life then he does...now if you guys would stop quote replying him my ignore feature would work better!:grin:

    As for RP as been said already here it is done so lets move on and be happy that we can finally celebrate our NC without the drama and media circus RP kept us in.

    This is fantastic news. After about 2 weeks of this things will simmer down and we can get on to being the defending National Champions. This is a damn strong football team no matter who is driving the car.

    RP - the entire rest of your life is at a crossroads right now. Right now. You can pick yourself up, dust yourself off and make the most of it or you can be Quincy Carter. Figure it out.

    So many questions...and comments, so little time.

    Mr. Heisman's dismissal was about 7 months overdue, but many a Dandyhomer made excuses for him at every turn all because they think he is THE only answer for a possible conference/national title.

    The homers ripped alot folks on here (check threads like big girls yourself) for wanting RP gone last November.

    Winning the right way is more important than winning it all with guys like RP, but homers want it all while thinking we, LSU, would never be like the UT's and Miami's.

    I'm glad to see Miles not give in to Brown's or Coker's win at all cost attitude and LSU will be better off for it despite what Dandyhomers think.

    Nothing against Dandydon. He just thinks LSU will always be better next year, or week, no matter what the situation is. His glass is always full until the glass actually breaks and he realizes there was no H2O in there to begin with.

    Sometimes just keeping it real is the more logical way to go than always rah-rah-ing everything.

    actually, they ripped people for bashing a college kid for doing things we all did as college students (fake ID, bar fight, skip class).
    but most here also had concerns about his judgement, and was cutiously optimistic he would pull it together.

    you on the other hand, are praying that the team goes 6-6 so you can come back here and say "I told you so".

    By the way, how is that "Miles will never win a title" prediction of yours coming along? ....chirping

    Enjoy the misery that a successful Les Miles seems to bring to you.

    We'll be fine without him.
    Marcus freaking Randall came one Arkansas prayer from leading this team to the SEC CG in '02 and one missed PAT from doing it in '04.

    Well, actually, most of the time for cancers, it is surgery followed by chemotherapy. In this instance, chemotherapy was chosen first which didn't work; now they have to resort to surgery!

    Like your analogy of cancer though....:thumb:

    It is unfortunate and sad that this is happening; but the team can only take so much of the back and forth drama before the discipline issue start ripping the team apart. I will still be thankful for his contributions to the team last year.

    Yes, many of us did but the risk for RP in not doing so is much higher than for the rest of us. I wonder how the players honestly feel about the situation.

    You misdirect your angst.

    Being a homer has had nothing to do with the disagreements about RP. Some folks wanted him gone, some were far more forgiving. Homers on both sides of the argument. (A homer is a fan who cannot inject moderation and reason into their fandom. Plenty on both sides met that description.)

    Dandy Don, for all his journalistic faults, is a class act. His posts are positive and require subtle reading to tell when he's disappointed or down on a player. I can see how in the current Jerry Springer world of media madness that might be confusing. Thankfully, Mr. Don is above your petty cheapshot. You can always just ignore his FREE and GROUNDBREAKING sports blog if it makes you feel better.

    Keeping it real? TigerDroppings called - you're late for recess. :rolleye33:
