Hop On the Bus, Gus--er, Tyrann

The first big screw up of the new season is awarded to Tyrann Mathieu, defensive back and student/athlete (wink wink) at LSU.  The other day, Tyrann was dismissed from the LSU football team for a violation of team rules.  Some of the observers of the college football scene have asserted that it was multiple failures of drug tests that brought the dismissal. 

We may never know...did he select McNeese
because he likes the way he looks in gold and
purple headgear?
CORRECTION: royal blue and cornflower gold.

Next step for Mathieu was to pick up the phone and call the good people over at McNeese State to determine if he might have the opportunity to continue his college education at that fine institution.  I thought that McNeese might have been the choice because of expertise in Mathieu's chosen field of study.  As it turns out, it seems to be their status as a Division II football program that is apparently the most alluring.  By transferring to a D-II program, Tyrann doesn't have to sit out a year.

At this point, I invite you to express your own feelings of shock, disbelief, dismay and/or outrage.  As for me...meh.  Somebody will still give him a big payday in the spring.

Then he will be their problem.
