If this were last year's team, I wouldn't worry that their shots were on target.

The problem isn't huge, but needs to be treated seriously by Coach Wade now to ensure the future of the program. I know these are just kids having fun, but paintball guns look like real guns and sting like a mofo, as mentioned above. With all the senseless violence in the world today, people are already on edge. Just no reason to do things like this when you're in the spotlight. I don't think the players had any malicious intent, and should learn from this. I trust Coach Wade will handle this appropriately and move forward. Geaux Tigers!

Well put.

College kids. Run their asses off, make them pay for any damage and lets move on.

I can see Coach Wade sitting in his office ready to unload some paintballs on them when they walk in for their meeting lol

Lexman1•104 months

That's actually a good idea Mahitta! That would be a good learning experience for them. But, he would be fired and sued, and labeled a racist and war criminal and whatever else they come up with these days! I think Coach Wade will handle this the right way.

Welcome to Baton Rouge!

I guarantee that if a video surfaced of 3 young black guys doing drive-by shootings with a paintball gun on innocent unsuspecting people that people would be irate, wanting arrests, etc. The only reason why people aren't saying that now is because they're LSU players.

That's called assault and battery.

They were outed pretty easily as they were holding the paintball guns sideways.

Cut these idiots

lsucoonass•104 months

Hope coach wade take the most appropriate action; whatever it will be this will set the standard for our basketball players conduct on and off the court. This is pretty serious considering they could potentially face assault/battery charges

Stopped watching last year, so I'm not sure if these guys are any good. If not, 3 additional scholly's for some 5 star recruits :) That's how I see it.

Anyone listen to Will Wade knows he's gonna squash this like a bug.

jmarto1•104 months

It isn't a new season till someone gets arrested!

Azkiger•104 months

Fitting for 5 and 6 year olds who haven't learned that this is inappropriate behavior. If you're in college and haven't figured this out, you're a special kind of stupid.

When did we allow 12 year olds to be on campus?
