You? Humble? That's a fuckn joke! Why do you insist on taking a post and turning it into something it was never intended for?Not at all PlayTheSpread, as my post above was actually made as gesture of thanking you, quite the contrary of how you perceived it. Your assessment of me is also totally wrong, as I am a very humble person, but have a big dislike for those that have to brag. Successful people keep low profiles has always been my experience, and feel no need to brag about themselves. Anyway, thank you for your kind words!
Look at it this way....if I had said a friend told me about this as opposed to a "source", would that have made it better? Do you think I sit on The Reveille web site all day waiting for a breaking story? Use your head before you post shit like this bro....you'll be much more respected.Comment -
Just hit ESPNComment -
no way
mathieu is great but he did nothing in that last tennessee game and the tigers still won by 31 on the road.
LSU still has a great pass rush and they have great DBs behind mathieu, they'll be fine. Ware injury means nothing because the RBs behind him are about the same level of talentComment -
With all respect towards you PlayTheSpread, my intentions in my post as I stated previously, was to thank you for posting the information, and was not posted with no malice what so ever, one hundred percent the opposite. I am sorry you read into it differently than what my intentions were.Comment -
Bodog has it scratched...Comment -
As PlayTheSpread stated above, here is the announcement from ESPN.

my point was he didn't make any big plays and LSU still won comfortably.
Hell, I saw him get burned a couple times as well as give up a first down on a play because he went for the strip instead of just tackling the guy on a 3rd down
LSU has the defensive personnel to rather easily withstand this kind of injury. It would be a much much more serious issue if they lost Jarett Lee or Ruben Randle because they are a lot thinner on that side of the ballComment -
Ware is the leading rusher for unbeaten LSU with 512 yards and six touchdowns. They lost him also. The line will drop.Comment -
Simon is the third so that means 2 CB's. What are these guy's thinking? Apparently they're not.Comment -
This changes not much for LSU..i got them -16 with a teaser so

Not so much for this game...if it's multiple, will be bad in Tuscaloosa. I'm going to let it drop and then hammer it. Only dropped half point in my book so far. I really don't think it's going to drop a lot. Could be wrong...just my opinionComment -
Honestly, the two suspensions will not hurt LSU's chances to cover dramatically. LSU is pretty deep at DB, and should be able to replace Mathieu without too much of a talent drop. I have heard it's possible Simon (DB) could potentially be suspended, which would affect LSU's nickel package. As for Ware, yes he is the starting RB, but LSU is extremely deep at the RB position and should still have a good running game vs. auburn. Mathieu is a turnover machine, so if you've incorporated turnovers in your projections you should re-analyze the game. You lose the downhill hard nosed running game from ware, but Michael Ford is a great replacement because of his strength and speed and Alfred Blue (RB3) has shown that he has a great set of skills and can be a starter down the road. Prior to the news, I was not planning on betting this game at all. But if you LSU backers are worried because you already laid down the green, rest easy because it shouldn't have a huge impact on the game. BOLComment -
Just heard it could be performance enhancing drugs...not recreational. Not solid info at this point however. What I don't know is the penalty for these the same?Comment -
Not insinuating that LSU will be using their nickel package as much as they do vs. other teams. I'm just making it clear that it would effect the package if Mathieu and Simon were declared ineligible, whether or not they use the package is another argument.yea but how much will LSU really play nickel in this game?? Auburn doesn't have much of a threat in the pass game and LSU can always put one of their backup safeties for their nickel corner position anywaysComment -
i don't see much different on the spread 21.5 at most books
