Just goes to show you when it's your team's player you find every excuse in the book. It's never ok to put your hands on a woman violently. You walk away in a perfect world. Unfortunately we don't live in such a thing. In the heat of a passionate fight people do dumb shite. 18yr olds do dumb shite. That doesn't mean life should end for those people.

Yep, sweeps everything under the rug like kicking Perilloux a star in the making off the team and setting the program back 2 years with awful qb play or kicking a heisman finalist off the team. Yep, kicking 2 of the better players off the team sure is sweeping everything under the rug.

Do folks really beilieve LSU couldn't survive without Hill? Please.


All you people talking about the Honey Badger aren't helping your case any. He failed like 15 drug tests before being kicked off the team.

Was JFF on probation for statutory rape? And quit redefining the assault. He was not in a fight. He assaulted a guy who was fighting with someone else and drunk wasn't man enough to face him. He snuck him from Behind. Period


So Hill's two misdemeanors trump JFF's 2 misdemeanors?

Don't put words in my mouth I didn't say it was ok, but you are equating two different things. Two consenting adults becoming physical with one another is not the same as sex with a minor. If the drunk at the bar had hit Hill, Hill has every right to defend himself. You just equated a moral obligation that women are not to be hit because they are women. While certainly chivalrous We are not to assault anyone regardless of gender. Again though I never said it was ok that Upshaw shoved her as the police report says or hit her if that was what he did; however, IF she attacked him (and ftr I don't know that she did) he has a right to defend himself but again you are comparing consenting adults with non consenting children.

In the end it is a dumb article, because it isn't like JFF is a bad person (he is but thats a whole other story), the issue is whether or not he violated his amateur status or not? NCAA football is an amateur sport. To play it you have to be an amateur and abide by amateur rules. Sure the schools make money off of JFF. But without college football where would JFF be? Not the NFL you can't play there till your 3 years of of high school.

If Tom Osborne (coaching legend, US Senator, widely regarded as one of the great leaders, and quality men ever) played Lawrence Phillips and Christian Peter, so he could a NC, then I see nothing wrong with what Miles is doing with Hill.

Just because a judge favorable to the interest of LSU classify it as a misdemeanor does not change the fact of what occurred. I am not even harping on the assault, the assault just brings to light again what kind of an individual Hill is. He is obviously not sorry for his actions or he would not be in this spotlight again. This wasn't a simple bar fight, he wasn't defending himself. He saw an opportunity to prey on someone weaker and he did it because so far society has said hey you can run a football and really well so it's ok. To the one who brought up Upshaw, Did he have any more run-ins with the law at Alabama after his one incident. He may have I certainly don't recall any though.

I don't even bother debating this one usually because its just not worth it but yes this seems to be one of those internet legends with no reliable source.

The idea TM failed more than 3 drug tests at LSU came out from an anonymous source from one of the NFL teams allegedly interviewing him during the pre-draft process (a guy who wished to remain anonymous alleged TM said he failed like 7 or 10 drug tests instead of 2 or 3 tests). After the 24 hour cycle of that being repeated on ESPN etc TM responded that this was incorrect - that he had only failed the previously reported 2 or 3 tests... but it was too late. The news cycle had told the story and it was an appealing story to say more positives instead of less.

Should we believe TM's denial? In this case I think so. If he were coming clean in his pre-draft interviews about his drug use/positive tests the last thing he could have afforded to do at that point would be to then turn around and lie about those admissions (make every team he talked to think he was a liar with no character on top of a pot smoker who didn't stop using when he should have). Should we believe an anonymous source? Maybe not in this case. There's an obvious motive for a team interested in a player like him as a late round pick (low risk/high reward) to talk him down if they might want him.

The no loss in regulation quote when lobbying for his team is one of the funniest things I've ever heard. The idea that he was smart enough to get the media to run with it is even better

Les loves fricking with the media and he's doing it right now with this Hill situation and by closing the team practice. Just because he didn't tell the media Hill's punishment, they ran with a story that's not true which made them say the team voted on Hill's suspension. That vote was to see if he's allowed back on the team and to see if the rest of the team is tired of all of that extra bs going on outside of football.

Even though Miles hasn't said anything about punishment for JH, you better believe there is one. He's just always selective on what he tells the media.

This whole thing is soooo blown out of proportion by the media and other fan bases. Everyone is so quick to judge and don't know shite regarding the matter. Hill has and will continue to be punished for his actions, the staff has not taken this lightly and you are fools if you think they have. Miles is staying hush about his punishment and has every right to do so.....fricking deal with it

I would suggest that any player on any team is there to help the team win games.

Otherwise, why have them on your team?

You are retarded. Law says he's a man and she's a child. You like to talk reality? In reality, you are no more a man when you turn 18 than you are at 15. I had sex with an 18 year old 10 days after her birthday, whewwwww I was really close to putting my penis in a baby, cause ALOT changed in those 10 days let me tell you. You keep saying man->sex->child and I think you're picturing like child molestation and shite, which isn't the case here. Take a step back bra.
