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

old people say that? :rofl:

 

Another kid who didn't get it. What a shame.

Unfortunately for him, his road just got a lot tougher to the next level. He no doubt with a good junior and senior season could have been a top 10 pick. Now he will be lucky if (that's a big if) he stays out of trouble. I don't think he will. We all make mistakes and hope that we learn. RP didn't and now he pays the price.

Let's see, kicked out of school, having a baby by his girlfriend, and now going to a division 2 school because he wasn't smart enough to appreciate what he had in front of him. It's another tragedy. Too bad for that young man. He cost himself million.

From a football standpoint it potentially cost LSU millions. I really believe with RP at QB we had a legitimate shot at the NC and a real chance at the SECCG. Now I'd say we have a uphill battle to reach 9-3. Probably all three losses in the SEC. QB by far is the toughest position on the team to replace.

I'm hoping Lee can emerge and Jordan can be productive as a freshman. Hatch is not a big league QB IMO.

Alright Les you now have your biggest challenge.

 

At this point even Saban wouldn't touch him with a ten foot pole.

 

I think its prudent for us to understand he is just a kid. That was pampered his whole life "IE I will win 4 heismans" he was probably told that he can do no wrong. For us to call him "an idiot" and things of that nature I just dont agree with. Yes he is older now and as a Junior probably should have his head on straight. But I think its obvious this kid was one that was easiliy guided down wrong paths. And when everyone wants a piece of you and you are the focal point for years of thousands of people (Recruiting, at LSU, arcticles on msnbc.com, cnn etc). Before we start blaming him for everything. Sometimes its important to look at the path that got him here and maybe just maybe place some blame on the peope around him as well.

 

this is very true and we share part of this blame. i completely agree.

but make no mistake, hes a phucking idiot.

 

If it is true, I have had a few people call me and confirm rumors that are posted here through the day. This kid needs professional help, but LSU football is done with him.

 

I forgot about that. The anti-RP forces within Tiger Nation and Longhorn fans can all rejoice together and bask in the happy news that RP got kicked off the team.

 

I wont disagree the kid made some POOORRRR choices. That I agree and he as man needs to atone for them. But I think we some times lose a bit of focus that these really are kids, that compared to most of us have had adults telling them how great they are.
I also was an idiot in college. Just didnt have cnn reporting on it. Frankly the amount of booze I drank (among other things) would have probably gotten me kicked out of the country let alone a national champion football team.
that was all I was saying really.

 

but they still have Colt McSuck.

So scoreboard LSU:crystal::crystal: to :crystal:

 

Congrats John, you seem coherent today.

Retilin is a miracle drug, I know.
