  Cowherd just said "something big is going down in college football today, Ill leave it at that"

  And what do u mean today at noon? It's 1250. Unless you are talking LSU time
• karen lotz

  

  Yup just heard Cowherd say that too. We should find out in ten minutes or so.

  Les probably just has some bad indigestion from all the grass.

  I'm going by the article. Baton Rouge on central, so coming up in a few if the article is correct.
  
  Rumblings on another forum that it could deal with a "repeat offender", maybe Spencer Ware? Seems to be all speculation so far.

  IOW, he has no clue as usual. Have any the the actual experts broken what's up?

  Sounds like Mathieu failed another drug test and is gone.

  Press conference starts in five minutes. LSU contacted the media and just told them to be there, no other info.

  So is he kicked off or is the only news that "he has been looking for a new school to play for this season" like espn says

  Probably both. One most likely led to the other. I'm not able to watch because I'm at work, but we'll find out soon enough

  Guess honey badger really didn't give a shit.
• Automatik

  

  So what did Miles say? Failed test? Kicked off?
• gorocks99

  

  Said he was kicked off the team for a "violation of team rules" ... then my audio cut out.

  Love it. Mathieu seemed like the biggest punk douche in the country last year.
• gorocks99

  

  So which FCS school will get his services?
• Midstate01

  Probably bama state. They're loaded with fbs suspended players
• cats gone wild

  This hurts badly. He gave us alot of points last year and I was looking forward to seeing if he could do the same this year. Luckily......we are loaded in depth, but no one will be a play maker like him. Cant believe he would continue to do any kind of drug after what happened last year. Les doesnt mess around and will kick off his players, even the best.

  A douche? Maybe. But I love watching him play
• gorocks99

  

  Maybe not an NCAA school at all for Mathieu...
  
  @BFeldmanCBS: If Tyrann Mathieu became ineligible bc of a 3rd failed drug test, he will not be able to play this yr at another NCAA school.

  Same here. I don't like LSU, but I'm not celebrating this. He was one of the players I always tuned in to watch. Overrated in coverage, but still a hell of a player.
