I'm beginning
to think that nothing good can happen to us if we keep going into a barroom, no matter who we might be. The
people inside should wear the letter P on their shirts. For phoney.
God have mercy on the people who don't seem to know what to
do with themselves in their spare time, no better than to go to a barroom and start drinking too much, and then not controlling their temper. Because I keep seeing to many talented people hurting
themselves becoming foolish and careless, getting into trouble with
their family, friends, community. After displaying
discipline, bravery, passion, faith and strength on a big time college
football field, they turn around and get into a mindless barroom fight.
Please god save Jeremy before it becomes to late for tears?
Please god also help me to understand if Jeremy is going to do that in his spare time, why is he training to go through all of this trouble to do this in tiger stadium?
Sophomore running back arrested early Saturday in Baton Rouge
By LUKE JOHNSON
Tiger Rag Assistant Editor
LSU sophomore running back Jeremy Hill has been suspended
indefinitely from the LSU football team after he was arrested early
Saturday morning for his alleged involvement in a fight outside Reggie’s
Bar in Baton Rouge.
LSU coach Les Miles said in a statement released by the university
Monday that he would not comment on the situation until it has gone
through the legal process.
Hill was arrested early Saturday morning after a phone video
recording showed him and an unidentified man beating another man. The
victim in the case said he was hit in the head until he lost
consciousness.
This is Hill’s second run-in with the law after pleading guilty to
carnal knowledge of a juvenile, a misdemeanor charge, in January 2011
and was in the middle of a two-year supervised probationary period.
As a freshman, Hill led the Tigers rushing attack, gaining 755 yards
on 142 carries last season. He led the team in rushing in LSU’s spring
game earlier this month and figured to be getting his share of carries
this season. --------------------------- http://www.dandydon.com/
Dandy Don's LSU Sports Report
This past weekend in LSU sports was kind of a mixed bag for Tiger Fans.
On the one hand, it was great to see LSU have a school-record nine
former Tigers drafted in the NFL, and to see the Lady Tigers softball
team sweep Alabama. But, on the other hand, this good news was
overshadowed by Jeremy Hill getting arrested Saturday morning and the
LSU baseball team losing two out of three to South Carolina.
As of now, I have nothing more to report on the Jeremy Hill
situation than what I posted yesterday, so I'll move right on to the
baseball news. Assuming Coach Miles and Sports Information
Director Michael Bonnette have returned from their trip to New York for
the NFL draft, LSU is probably busy gathering information on Hill's
incident and will issue a statement soon.
Mingo the fifth LSU player in the last six years to go in top six picks
By LUKE JOHNSON
Tiger Rag Assistant Editor
Nine former LSU football players’ names were called in the 2013 NFL
Draft and an additional seven were signed to free agent contracts
afterward.
As expected, Barkevious Mingo was the first former Tiger off the board. Coming as a bit of a surprise was where he went.
Expected to fall somewhere between the New York Jets at No. 9 and the
New Orleans Saints at No. 15, Mingo didn’t make it that far. Maybe he
knew about it before anyone else - he showed up to Radio City Music Hall
with an orange pocket square that worked nicely with an orange and
brown checkered tie.
The Cleveland Browns took Mingo off the board with the sixth pick of
the first round, making it the fifth time in six years an LSU player has
been selected in the top six picks.
Mingo will play outside linebacker in the Browns’ 3-4 defensive front
after playing mostly as a defensive end at LSU. He addressed the
position change at a post-draft press conference in Cleveland.
“I know they are going to coach me up well and they’re committed,”
Mingo said. “They’re committed to winning football games, committed to
this team and they’re just ready to win.”
Mingo, who will wear No. 51 in Cleveland because it was the closest
he could find to the No. 49 he wore at LSU, finished his LSU career with
15 sacks in 40 career games.
From there, it wasn’t a given where the next Tiger would go off the
board. Many thought linebacker Kevin Minter made sense for a couple of
the teams at the bottom of the first round. The same thought applied to
safety Eric Reid.
The answer came a bit sooner than most expected. The defending NFC
champion San Francisco 49ers traded up 13 spots to make Reid the second
safety drafted behind Kenny Vaccarro, who went to the Saints at 15.
Reid will get a chance to take the place of Dashon Goldson, who left the 49ers for the Tampa Bay Buccanneers in free agency.
He’s got big professional goals. According to the San Jose Mercury
News, Reid said he is hoping to make a splash in his NFL debut.
“We’re starting against Green Bay and if I can pick of Aaron Rodges, that’d be nice,” Reid said.
Reid and Mingo were the only first round selections, but a slew of Tigers followed them in the next few days.
Minter and defensive back Tyrann Mathieu will be reunited with former
LSU All-American Patrick Peterson in Arizona after the Cardinals used
their 2nd and 3rd round selections on the pair.
The general assumption is the Cardinals believe with the appropriate
support system and rigorous drug testing in place, Mathieu can rise
above the demons that plagued his time at LSU and become an quality
professional football player.
Cardinals coach Bruce Arians hinted that Mathieu could play safety at the professional level.
Mathieu was joined by former LSU defensive linemen Bennie Logan
(Philadelphia Eagles) and Sam Montgomery (Houston Texans) in the third
round. Tharold Simon (fifth round to the Seattle Seahawks), Lavar
Edwards (5th round to the Tennessee Titans) and Spencer Ware (6th round to Seattle) closed out the LSU draftees on the final day.
LSU set a new record with nine players going in the draft, breaking the previous school record of eight in 1948.
Seven players were signed to free agent contracts shortly following
the draft. They were Chancey Aghayere (Seattle), Chase Clement (New York
Giants), Chris Faulk (Cleveland), Michael Ford (Chicago Bears), P.J.
Lonergan (Chicago), Russell Shepard (Philadelphia Eagles) and Brad Wing
(Philadelphia). ------------------- http://lsufootball.net/

I often kept wondering just why the french guillotine kept falling, and falling, and falling, after Marie Antoinette, King Louis XVI, and the french court has long since been killed. The revolutionary french citizens look like crazed kill
happy people to me because they simply kept guillotining just about
everyone that they thought was apart of the upper class running France.
The revolutionary movement that shook France between 1787 and 1799 and reached its first climax there in 1789.
But
now after all these years of thinking that the french revolutionary was
just a very off the rail mob of french citizen gone crazy with killing
for power. I begin to understand the spirit that enacted the hatred
towards the ruling class running France back then.
Because after seeing the national White House press dinner this past Saturday night on c-spans I know now why
Tom Brokaw X - NBC Nightly News TV anchor said as he stopped going because
quote, "that the White house press dinner was beginning to look like how the French people saw the palace of versailles cocktail party crowd back in Marie Antoinette time."
The national White House press dinner this past Saturday night was much like that Marie Antoinette at Versailles, "let them eat cake" crowd. All show and no substance.
What does the everyday citizen call a crowd of people like them the elite, or just simply the end crowd?
Seperate and apart from the everyday citizens in
America. Living behind gated upper class neighborhood, protected with
the fixed government deck of cards maintain in Washington DC by the national
press and politicians. The White House press dinner had over 2600 of the
rich and famous.
F. Scott Fitzgerald said that the rich are different than us.

I hope you'll understand when I keep the rest of this writing
short and just briefly touch on the news of Jeremy Hill's arrest and
yesterday's NFL draft picks, while including a press release about LSU's
baseball game last night and this link about the softball's team sweep of Alabama. First, congratulations to all the Tigers who were drafted,
including the three that were picked yesterday - Lavar Edwards (5th
round, 142nd pick, Tennessee Titans), Tharold Simon (5th, 138th, Seattle
Seahawks), Spencer Ware (6th round, 194th, Seattle Seahawks).
Chris Faulk, Michael Ford, P.J. Lonergan, Brad Wing and Russell Shepard
did not get drafted, but did secure free agent deals. Faulk agreed to
terms with the Cleveland Browns, while Ford and Lonergan struck deals
with the Chicago Bears. Wing and Shepard will join Bennie Logan with the
Philadelphia Eagles. I'm really proud of all these former Tigers and
hope they enjoy a long and prosperous career in the NFL. I know I speak
for many of you when I wish them the very best as they embark on this
tremendous opportunity.
As for Jeremy Hill, I'm deeply saddened by yesterday's news of him being arrested for simple battery.
Hill was arrested at about 2 a.m. Saturday in connection with a fight
at Reggie's Bar in Tigerland. Allegedly, Hill and another suspect
engaged in a fight with a 20-year old man who ended up unconscious. You can read more about what transpired here.
I have trouble wrapping my head around why someone like Hill, with such
a bright future ahead, would do something like this. As most of you
know, this isn't the first very serious mistake Hill made. While in high
school at Redemptorist, Hill and a classmate pleaded guilty to a charge
of carnal knowledge of a juvenile. At this point, it's unclear how this
weekend's incident will affect Hill's probation. I'll wait to comment
further on this until more details become available. Read more...http://www.dandydon.com/
Hill released on bail after fight outside a Baton Rouge bar
By LUKE JOHNSON
Tiger Rag Assistant Editor LSU sophomore running back Jeremy Hill was arrested for simple
battery Saturday after his apparent involvement in a fight outside
Reggie’s Bar in Baton Rouge. Hill allegedly struck the victim several times in the head, causing
the victim to lose consciousness. Someone on the scene shot a video of
the incident, which the police used to identify Hill. Hill was released Saturday morning on $500 bail. LSU coach Les Miles
was in New York for the NFL Draft, and made himself unavailable for
comment until he can return and talk with Hill. East Baton Rouge Parrish District Attorney Hillar Moore said police are seeking a second suspect in the case. It was the latest in several legal issues concerning current and
former LSU football players, and the second this weekend. Former LSU
defensive back Tharold Simon, who was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in
the fourth round today, was arrested Thursday night in his Eunice
hometown. This is Hill’s second brush with the law, as he pled guilty to carnal
knowledge of a juvenile in 2011. He is currently midway through a
two-year probationary period, but it’s not certain whether he was in
violation of his probation thanks to Saturday’s arrest. The incident was first reported by NBC 33’s Matt Boudreaux.
LSU Coach Les Miles appeared on the NFL Network's pre-draft coverage
on Thursday as a member of a round-table discussion that also included
Texas A&M Coach Kevin Sumlin, Notre Dame Coach Brian Kelly and
Stanford Coach David Shaw, and the always colorful leader of the purple
and gold had a few things to say about this year's draft.
Miles
was asked along with Kelly how players who have had their personal
lives scrutinized so thoroughly by NFL scouts can stay mentally prepared
to succeed in the NFL.
Kelly and Miles both
have extensive experience coaching players with off-field issues. Kelly
coached Heisman Trophy candidate Manti Te'o, whose fake girlfriend
debacle played out on a highly public, national stage, and Miles coached
cornerback Tyrann Mathieu, who was kicked off the LSU football team for
repeatedly failing drug tests.
"He'll be
judged by his teammates by what he can do on the field," Miles said,
seemingly referring to Te'o. "If he can really contribute and make that
team better, then they will accept him, and I think it will be an easy
transition for him."
Miles went on to say that
he has not spoken with Mathieu "in the recent past." But Miles took the
opportunity talk up the former Tiger.
"He's
such a pleaser," Miles said. "He'll please his coach. He'll please his
family. He's going to have to focus on those things that are important
to him, and that's football. Take those peripherals and social events
that could be an issue and minimize them and disregard them. If he does
that, he'll play a very long time because he's a very special talent."
Mathieu
isn't projected to be drafted in the first round on Thursday night, but
most expect his name to be called sometime Saturday or Sunday. It was
recently reported that Mathieu passed a drug test administered to him at
the NFL Combine.
Miles wasn't asked to comment
on any other LSU draft hopefuls, but Sumlin was asked what it was like
to gameplan for LSU's highest projected draftee, defensive end
Barkevious Mingo.
"The competitive nature of
that game with Sam Montgomery, Mingo, all those guys, it was a great
atmosphere and they had fun playing the game," Sumlin said. "When you're
involved in a situation like that, and then you reach a night like
tonight and the next couple of days, you want the best for these kids.
There's a reason why they're going to get their names called."
LSU
defeated Texas A&M, 24-19, on October 20 last season. Mingo had
three solo tackles, one sack, one tackle for loss and a fumble recovery
in the game.

Madison
- Talks between Wisconsin and Southeastern Conference power Alabama
dragged on for several years before the two programs eventually agreed
to open the 2015 college football season at Cowboys Stadium.
Encouraged
by that agreement and looking to bolster UW's nonconference schedules
because of the four-team playoff set to begin with the 2014 season,
athletic director Barry Alvarez is in the market for another
neutral-site game.
That quest could lead to a game at
Lambeau Field. According to a college football source, UW officials
would like to play LSU, another SEC power.
Alvarez
was out of town Friday. Justin Doherty, UW associate athletic director
for external relations, declined to say whether UW is pursuing such a
game.
"I don't have anything I can tell you," he said after the regularly scheduled athletic board meeting.

Sought Big Ten title game
Mark Murphy, president and chief executive officer of the Packers,
tried to convince Big Ten officials to hold their inaugural football
championship game in 2011 at Lambeau Field. The Big Ten eventually chose Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
According to a Packers official, Murphy remains interested in hosting a
college football game at Lambeau Field and UW would be an ideal choice. "It has come up from time to time and it is something that we are
pursuing," said Aaron Popkey, the team's director of public affairs.
"But it hasn't gotten to the point where there is anything on the books
or where we're ready to announce. "We continue to look into it and will certainly explore those opportunities." The UW men's hockey team faced Ohio State in 2006 at Lambeau Field, and a crowd of 40,890 saw the Badgers prevail, 4-2. Officials from UW and the Packers labeled that event an overwhelming success and were thrilled with the turnout. "That was a really good experience for Lambeau and the Packers,"
Popkey said. "I think a football game would be a good experience as
well." According to Popkey, the fact that the NFL doesn't announce the
league's upcoming regular-season schedule until April would not be a
hindrance. "It is doable," he said. "If there was an opportunity to pursue it,
we would just make a request to the NFL that we need to be on the road
that week. "The league complies with those. It is what they've done in the past so that wouldn't be any sort of a challenge."

Obviously the
men and women making mistakes who are not doing their job with
competence, and continue to be disobedient to the rule of law in
Washington DC. Are still trying to dismiss the harm that they are doing
to the United States public trust that the American people hired them to
keep.
Swearing a lawful oath to uphold the laws of the United States. “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the
Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my
Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United
States.”
"So help me God"
Whether it is to each other, or to the community at
large, disappointing the people who love and trust us does becomes very
harmful to the good of mankind. With each and every crime and lie.
Because in that moment of crime and deceit the person that we loved and trusted changed into a formless shades of changing color
with out human felling. Something of what was once natural turn into a
thing of what is unnatural. Unable to be felt in a normal way by the
public again.
The natural feeling of nature become a mass of
chemistry without form, or growth. Destructive to our normal health. In a
sudden acts of crime the sin turn into a cloud of smokey stuff hiding
within the image of a once natural looking person. The feeling are
changed into inhuman painful currents.
The bad become shameful and harmful to the good of the other people who are working hard to succeed in their normal life.
In
that true respect then the natural feelings of what is normal becomes
separated from the person who they once knew. Impossible to understand
and equality unable to naturally once again touch them, like before.
Separated away from each other by the sin of mankind,
the space in between good and bad only matters in time and distance.
Because in reality we have become foreign to each other in body and
spirit, and truth, as long as we both shell live.
How then should I ask of Jesus, who still love the sinful, how can I even go near the sinful again if I don't want to?
Asking
me to love my enemy then is truly a mouthful, because I can't even look
at them sometimes. The harm that the sinful do to each other is really
bad. The crimes are as evil as they can get. The inhuman behavior of man
towards mankind simply repulses my spirit. So I ask of Jesus again and
again. How can I every hope to once again love the sinful? ---------
King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.) "But
I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good
to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and
persecute you;" -------
Tinker:
Every time that I forgive the harm other people do to me, I get my teeth kicked down my throat.
So in the experience that I have had from forgiving the harm that other
people do, I keep coming out on the wrong end of the stick.
I know in my heart that forgiveness is truly
good and just about the best virtue that people have. Faith, hope, and
charity, seems to sing out to me like beautiful music.
I'm engulfed by that spirit, I become inspired by that spirit,
and I truly do love that spirit. Why then oh god, why doesn't
forgiveness work better then it does on the sinful people who just keep
sinning?
--------
Christ ordered the apostles to, "Go therefore and make disciples of all
nations." It would take much time. And he promised them assistance: "Lo,
I am with you always, to the close of the age" (Matt. 28:19–20).
If the disciples believed that Christ instituted the power to
sacramentally forgive sins in his stead, we would expect the apostles’
successors—the bishops—and Christians of later years to act as though
such power was legitimately and habitually exercised. If, on the other
hand, the sacramental forgiveness of sins was what Fundamentalists term
it, an "invention," and if it was something foisted upon the young
Church by ecclesiastical or political leaders, we’d expect to find
records of protest. In fact, in early Christian writings we find no sign
of protests concerning sacramental forgiveness of sins. Quite the
contrary. We find confessing to a priest was accepted as part of the
original deposit of faith handed down from the apostles.
Furthermore, if at conversion we were forgiven all sins, past, present,
and future, it would make no sense for Christ to require us to pray,
"And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors," which
he explained is required because "if you forgive men their trespasses,
your heavenly Father also will forgive you; but if you do not forgive
men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses"
(Matt. 6:12–15).
---------------
Tinker:
Oh
I see then, forgiveness is helpful to myself, not only to the sinful.
if I don't forgive other people of their sins, I will not receive
forgiven myself from god.
Wow I must get closer to the father in heaventhen, because I really don't want to be a hypocrite to myself, and friends, and certainty not to god in heaven.
In fact I have a lot of hard work in front of
me. Because if I do make it into heaven, just think of all the sins that
I have already committed that the people who once loved me and since
died, never knew about in life, and that they are waiting to hear just
what in the hell do I have to say for yourself, after my death.
Or man this heaven stuff is getting me in all kind
of trouble, maybe there is something to this forgiveness stuff after
all. Because the people who once loved me and died now know all my
secrets, my privacy is shot to hell, If they don't forgive me my
trespasses then that is indeed where I am heading too?

NEW YORK – LSU football broke the school record for the most
selections in a single NFL Draft with nine total players picked this
weekend, including three on the final day of the draft Saturday at Radio
City Music Hall. The previous record was eight selections in the 1948 Draft, but this year’s draft eclipsed that number after Tharold Simon, Lavar Edwards and Spencer Ware were all picked Saturday to add to the six Tigers selected on the first two days of the draft. Simon was the first LSU player off the board on day three when he was
drafted by the Seattle Seahawks with the fifth pick in the fifth round
and 138th pick overall.
Edwards, LSU’s first senior selected in the draft, was chosen just
four spots later in the fifth round (No. 142 overall) by the Tennessee
Titans. Ware rounded out the draft class for the Tigers when he was selected
with the 26th pick in the sixth round (No. 194 overall) by the Seahawks. LSU finished second among all college teams with nine total draft picks, only trailing Florida State who finished with 11. Simon led LSU in pass breakups with nine and interceptions with four
in 2012, and he finished his career with 99 total tackles, 22 PBUs and
seven interceptions. Day 1 Recap: Barkevious Mingo | 1st Rd. | No. 6 | Cleveland Browns Eric Reid | 1st Rd. | No. 18 | San Francisco 49ers Day 2 Recap: Kevin Minter | 2nd Rd. | No. 45 | Arizona Cardinals Bennie Logan | 3rd Rd. | No. 67 | Philadelphia Eagles Tyrann Mathieu | 3rd Rd. | No. 69 | Arizona Cardinals Sam Montgomery | 3rd Rd. | No. 95 | Houston Texans Edwards flourished in his senior season in 2012 with 26 tackles, 7.0
tackles for a loss, 4.5 sacks and an interception returned for a
touchdown against Idaho. He finished his five-year career with 15 starts
in 52 games played, 106 tackles, 20 TFLs, 10.5 sacks and two
interceptions. Ware finished with 1,249 rushing yards and 404 receiving yards on 39
receptions in his LSU career. He scored a total of 12 touchdowns in his
career (10 rushing, 2 receiving), and he made 14 starts in 36 total
games played in three seasons with the Tigers.
LSU’s nine selections shattered the previous school record of eight draft picks in 1948.
LSU’s six selections in the first three rounds are the most by the
program in the first three rounds of an NFL Draft. The Tigers had five
selections in the first three rounds of the 2011 draft.
Eight of LSU’s nine drafted players are underclassmen.
LSU finished second nationally with nine draft selections. Florida
State was first with 11 selections, and Alabama was tied for second with
nine as well.
LSU has had at least one defensive back in seven straight drafts.
The Tigers have had 12 defensive backs chosen in the last seven NFL
Drafts combined.
LSU has produced a defensive tackle selected in the draft for now six straight years.
LSU Hall of Famer Kevin Faulk was on hand at Radio City Music Hall on Friday to announce the New England Patriots draft picks.
Kevin Minter
was the third-highest linebacker drafted in LSU history. Eric Hill went
No. 10 overall to the Cardinals in 1989, while A.J. Duhe went No. 13
overall to the Dolphins in 1977.
Head coach Les Miles has now produced at least five NFL Draft picks in every draft he has been a part of at LSU (eight drafts).
For the first time in LSU history, LSU produced multiple first round picks in back-to-back drafts.
The school record for number of defensive players selected in a single modern draft was broken.
Nine of the 11 defensive starters on the 2011 team have been drafted
in the past two years. All nine went in the first three rounds,
including four in the first round.

Hill released on bail after fight outside a Baton Rouge bar
By LUKE JOHNSON
Tiger Rag Assistant Editor LSU sophomore running back Jeremy Hill was arrested for simple
battery Saturday after his apparent involvement in a fight outside
Reggie’s Bar in Baton Rouge. Hill allegedly struck the victim several times in the head, causing
the victim to lose consciousness. Someone on the scene shot a video of
the incident, which the police used to identify Hill. Hill was released Saturday morning on $500 bail. LSU coach Les Miles
was in New York for the NFL Draft, and made himself unavailable for
comment until he can return and talk with Hill. East Baton Rouge Parrish District Attorney Hillar Moore said police are seeking a second suspect in the case. It was the latest in several legal issues concerning current and
former LSU football players, and the second this weekend. Former LSU
defensive back Tharold Simon, who was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in
the fourth round today, was arrested Thursday night in his Eunice
hometown. This is Hill’s second brush with the law, as he pled guilty to carnal
knowledge of a juvenile in 2011. He is currently midway through a
two-year probationary period, but it’s not certain whether he was in
violation of his probation thanks to Saturday’s arrest. The incident was first reported by NBC 33’s Matt Boudreaux.
This
trip to LSU will be different for the University of Alabama softball
team, but the stakes are the same as they have always been.
“Like the 17th straight year, it's coming down to Alabama and LSU for the SEC West,” Crimson Tide coach Patrick Murphy said.
“It's
kind of a cool thing, actually, and some of those years it has come
down to being for the SEC title. It's a great rivalry for softball.”
The
rivalry might be more heated for the Thursday-through-Saturday series
this time around, with Murphy returning to LSU for the first time since
two summers ago, when he briefly took the head coaching job with the
Tigers before changing his mind and returning to Alabama. LSU fans, he
is sure, have not forgotten.
“I
guess I'll wait and see,” Murphy said. “It just comes with the
territory, I think, and definitely in this situation. It's college fans,
and that's what makes sports in college so fun: They're very passionate
and very involved and they know what's going on.”
Alabama
is seeking a fourth consecutive Southeastern Conference Western
Division championship, and is in a dead heat with LSU. The winner of the
series will have an upper hand going into the last weekend of the
regular season, and Murphy went over the standings with the team before
it departed for Baton Rouge, La.
Before moving on to the NFL draft news, I want to so
something I should have done yesterday and that is to congratulate the
No 12 Lady Tigers softball team for their big wins. The Lady
Tigers defeated Alabama 3-2 Thursday night in extra innings and then won
Game 2 of the series last night, 2-1. I regret not mentioning Game 1 in
yesterday's report. The Lady Tigers (39-11, 14-6), who have been
playing outstanding ball, entered this weekend's series ranked No. 12 in
the nation and will likely make a big jump after taking the series over
No. 4 Alabama.
The Lady Tigers will go for the series sweep over Alabama today at 1 p.m. CT, and the game will be televised by CST. Now moving on to NFL draft news... Congratulations
are in order for Kevin Minter who was selected in the 2nd round (45th
pick), and for Bennie Logan, Tyrann Mathieu and Sam Montgomery who were
selected in the 3rd round (65th, 69th, and 95th picks respectively).
Minter and Mathieu were both selected by the Cardinals and will join
former teammate Patrick Peterson in Arizona. Logan was selected by the
Philadelphia Eagles. Mongomery was drafted by the Hosuton Texans. Rounds
four through seven of the draft will get underway today at 11 a.m. CT.
On a related note, former Tiger Tharold Simon, who was
projected to get drafted in the late 3rd or early 4th round, has gotten
into a scuffle with the Law in his hometown of Eunice. Thursday
night he was arrested for public intimidation, resisting arrest and
unnecessary noise. According to reports, Simon wasn't too happy when he
was asked to move his car, which was blocking a street. Allegedly, Simon
told the officer, "I own Eunice" and "I'm going to buy these projects
and you are going to be mine," before getting into his car, cranking up
his music and backing up in an “aggressive manner.” Simon and his agent,
Peter Schaffer, dispute the report and say there are several
eyewitnesses that will back them. It will be interesting to see how this
plays out and affects Simon's draft stock.
Reader comments: Scott, here is a great article about KeKe Mingo
getting drafted and his mother didn't want him to play football because
she didn't want him to get hurt. A great story about the first time she
saw her son play football. Read more...http://www.dandydon.com/

Every year, a slew of LSU football players leaves Baton Rouge and
makes its way to the NFL. With the first round of the NFL draft
starting at 7 p.m. tonight and subsequent rounds continuing until
Saturday, here’s a list of Tigers sure to make a splash in this year’s
draft class:
Barkevious Mingo, defensive end/outside linebacker Mingo was relatively undersized for a defensive
end at the college level, meaning his switch to the 3-4 outside
linebacker position is likely imminent, but Mingo is one of those
physical freaks — on the field and at the combine — with a natural skill
set almost too tantalizing to pass up. Gone are the days when Mingo could blaze by a
slower offensive tackle or use his speed to bait him outside before
making a decisive cut upfield to get to the quarterback. Mingo will
still be fearsome when he puts his hand on the ground as a rush end, but
modern-day NFL tackles can make up for a disadvantage because of
athleticism with proper technique. The biggest challenge for Mingo will be learning
coverage schemes. I have no doubt he will beef up his 241-pound frame
once he begins an NFL strength and conditioning program, but the 3-4
outside linebacker is not just a pass rusher. He will be called upon to
cover tight ends and running backs in some instances, and that’s
something we haven’t seen Mingo do. Mock drafts have Mingo all over the board, but I
don’t see him sneaking into the top 10 or falling past pick 20. I know
quite a few locals are hoping New Orleans will split the difference and
snag Mingo at 15. Sam Montgomery, defensive end Some NFL general managers and owners were put off
when Montgomery acknowledged playing down to his competition at LSU,
and his draft stock has plummeted since he uttered those words two
months ago. For a league that grades its incoming players on
how fast they can run 40 yards or how high they can jump, the NFL sure
puts a lot of weight on words. Either way you slice it, Montgomery is a game
changer. He’s long, strong and explosive, and his emotional leadership
is dynamic and often contagious. While motivation and effort may be a
concern, I’m not sure how Montgomery — or any athlete, for that matter —
could give less than 100 percent when suiting up for a professional
team. Draft experts have Montgomery sliding to a late
second or early third round pick. He isn’t at the top of the defensive
end pool because of studs like Florida State’s Bjoern Werner and BYU’s
Ezekiel Ansah, but any team should be more than happy picking up
Montgomery in the second round. Eric Reid, safety Reid is one of the smartest players entering this
year’s draft, which is why he’ll quickly be one of the most successful.
Reid should have little to no trouble adjusting to a professional
scheme, allowing his raw ability to flourish. The junior also has a knack for diagnosing and
closing in on running plays with impeccable speed, and he’s a menace to
receivers running crossing patterns. But his coverage skills have been
suspect at times, even against North Texas. Reid brings a nearly complete package of size, athleticism, toughness and smarts that should make him a first round pick. Kevin Minter, inside linebacker Minter was the surprise superstar on an LSU
defense filled with studs like Mingo, Montgomery and Reid. While the
statistical production of his teammates stagnated in 2012, Minter burst
onto the scene, racking up 130 tackles and a team-leading 15 tackles for
loss en route to a Second Team All-American nomination. At times, Minter seemed to be making a tackle on
every play. Though his coverage skills and speed are questionable,
Minter’s aggressiveness and physicality in stopping the run make him a
late first to early second rounder. Tharold Simon, cornerback The junior cornerback made a mistake opting out of his senior year. Simon, who stands at 6-foot-3 and weighs around
200 pounds, has definitely caught some attention because of his stature.
But Simon plays a timid press, is susceptible to double moves and still
seems a little too big for his body. Larger cornerbacks are becoming a necessity to
counter the new breed of gigantic receivers like Arizona’s Larry
Fitzgerald and Detroit’s Calvin Johnson, but I’m sure most franchises
would rather a smaller defender with sound technique than a massive
cornerback tripping over his own feet. Simon is a project player and should be off the
board by the sixth round. Should he correct his technique and live up to
his potential, Simon could rival fellow LSU alums Patrick Peterson and
Morris Claiborne. Tyrann Mathieu, cornerback Love him or hate him, the Honey Badger is going
to get drafted. But those attending Mathieu’s first round draft party
will be highly disappointed. Substance abuse and character issues aside,
Mathieu is a risky pick. He is undoubtedly undersized at 5-foot-9 —
which is a generous measurement — and simply cannot cover the monstrous
tight ends and receivers in today’s game. If Mathieu wants to crack a starting lineup,
he’ll have to make the switch to safety. He’s an absolute ball hawk and
has a penchant for creating turnovers, and any defensive coordinator
worth his salt would give Mathieu freedom to roam around and make plays
like he did at LSU. Even if Mathieu never plays a snap on defense,
he’s a valuable asset in the return game. I see him going off the board
somewhere in the fourth round, but he’ll be a gamble regardless of when
his name is called.
