LSU coach Les Miles: On Mathieu "There is a very legitimate chance this will have a happy ending." Sounds like he's welcome back to me. Tweeted by Randy Rosetta
Well, this will be good for the team and the HB, himself, but it is another cup (extry large) of haterade for the rest of the country that views SEC football through a jaundiced (if not jealous) eye.
You can find instances of this kind of stuff in any conference. But the pundits will paint the SEC with a broad brush while ignoring similar or more egregious infractions elsewhere. USC, Oregon, FSU, Ohis St., etc. have all had cases where kids commit actual crimes and stay on the team or come back after serving some miniscule pittance. But at the end of the day, fugg there jaundiced eye. I'd punch em in it if I were close enough.
