WJBO, WBRZ, and the AP Reporting RP kicked off the team.

I for one am not happy RP got kicked off of the team. He is a Louisiana boy who decided to stay home and play for LSU when he could have gone anywhere in the country. He showed last year that he had the potential to be a great quarterback and lead our team. Can't figure out why guys like him and in his position can't seam to "get with the program." He may still be young but he has been on campus for three years now should know better. I wish he could have gotten his act stratight but if he wasn't, its better that it happened now rather than later.

 

Yeah, because he was spot on last time. :rolleye33:

I'm not the infallible clair, but this wasn't Ryan's first failed drug test and it was not for the usual recreational drug of choice for kids his age I am told.

 

Nobody has shown me that Miles tolerated RP more than any other LSU player (but that doesn't mean it's not true). When we discussed the players that Miles has kicked off the team, nobody could point out how any of them were kicked off for stuff we wouldn't have kicked RP off the team for.

But good points with Mile's commitment to RP's mom, and good point about the recent death of RP's dad. Add to that that two people claim he has a child. That must of been a heart-breaking decision to kick him off the team, especially after we had him ride our bench for three seasons. But, I'm sure Miles will pull strings and make phone calls to find the best team (Div-II?) for him to go to that will allow him to still have a shot at a good future.

 

Perhaps clairs absence from this is a clear sign that this is the last straw and not just people making things bigger then they are.

 

Clair has been absent since the NBA playoffs started. Not sure why, but it has nothing to do with this.

 

Texas is constantly having players arrested (usually they are found with drugs.) Rarely are they dismissed from the team. Cedric Benson was famous for smoking weed @ UT.

And though you sometimes seem to have your head in the sand as far as keeping up with news in sports (like not knowing who Sean Taylor was/what happened to him), you do know that Ricky Williams was at one with weed?

 

Very true.

Or Mallet transferring....

The kids that go to "Regular school" all knew. :hihi:

 

if you cant see that for yourself its simply because you dont want to.

seriously man.

 

Is it common to allow football players to get away with marijuana use? To me, marijuana is in the same ballpark as alcohol when it comes to disturbing the body and the mind, the only big difference between the two is the whole legality thing (the fact that one is legal and one is criminal, and the U.S. did try to make alcohol illegal as well, but just couldn't make it happen).

The Ricky Williams thing... was it really just marijuana or was it actually trace levels of cocaine and heroin? Or was it just marijuana, but not just failing drugs tests from smoking a joint on Friday nights instead of having some beer... but rather showing up to practice and games stoned?

 

Perriloux has to be one of the biggest idiots of all time. So much for repeat Championships. It will be too tough for someone with no experience.
