LSU = Talent v Maturity

LSU is one of the most talented teams in the country. Frighteningly, most of that talent consists not only of underclassmen but many freshmen and sophomores. These young players have experienced great success early in their careers. Most of the young players have experienced little in the way of adversity. Perhaps this team's accomplishments and adoration have contributed to an attitude (of a few) of entitlement and self gratification over discipline and sacrifice.
I am troubled that an exceptionally talented team may squander an opportunity that comes only to a few teams. The question becomes, is LSU mature enough as a team to win the national championship? They are certainly talented enough. These suspensions may only be a bump in the road or they may foreshadow a larger chemistry problem that not everyone is pulling the wagon in the same direction.
Most LSU fans would be more encouraged if the offending parties showed more contrition than they have to date.

well if the team says they have the 3 players backs than you would be off base IMO

tards maybe but realist know these things happen with young people. It will play itself out so I got no concerns and LSU players don't owe me ANYTHING and anyone who thinks they do are sadly mistaken

Yep, but that's where the maturity part comes in. Freshmen and sophomores get caught. They are not ready.

I know for a fact that 79% of the bama players and coaches beat their meat in the showers!

Oh I'm sure they probably are. But before yesterday, I never would have stated, "I promise you LSU players are smoking pot". And that still might not be true.

The good ole "everyone does it" rationale.
I like the fact that 3 key players for LSU are not capable of understanding what they have to lose by doing this during the season. It shows their lack of focus and understanding of the big picture. I am not nieve enough to think that BAMA doesnt have players smoking but I am more confident that they "get it" and are not going to mess up what is potentially an epic year by getting caught. At least not our best player on offense and defense.
BAMA by 2 possesions come Nov 5th.
