#6 Qyendarius Griffin

Sorry Boomer. Got to disagree with you on this one. If the reports about his alleged drug use are indeed true, then I/we don't owe this kid anything. UL gave him his chance to succeed by providing him a free education and providing him with all of the tools (tutors, etc.) necessary to obtain his degree. Unless this kid has been living in a cave for the last year, then he was well aware of the situation with the Honey Badger and the repercussions associated with his choices in regards to drug use. If this kid can't see the opportunity that has been provided to him by UL via athletics and can't control his urge to smoke weed, then I say cut him loose and find a kid of better character to give his scholarship to. Let Griffin's family get him the help that he needs for his problem because it sure ain't the responsibility of me or UL.

Whats up Mark.. Yeah too much tolerance is killing this country..

Hope you are well.

Alexander is done for the year, knee injury. Griffin and Barksdale did not make the trip. You will probably get more on that later.

T, I hope Alexander doesn't have ligament tears. From what the reports earlier were, it was just a sprained knee so has something changed?

Big Z,

Doing well my friend. Heard that you have been working out of state. Still driving the old ride or did you donate it in the Smithsonian and get a new one?

Take care my friend and if I see you at a game (football, basketball or softball), I will buy you a cold one and we can talk about your love for Authement! LOL!

Yea --you make very good solid points but the "if they are indeed true" part kinda says lets wait and see---Through the years as a player coach and even fan I have seen situations like this and they play out both ways both in an athletic career and future life choices!!!

And we have a winner! Stop wasting the taxpayer's money on a kid who doesn't appreciate what he's got (if he is indeed smoking pot).

Can Andrew Hebert be moved back to LB to provide depth? He isn't getting on the field at TE anyway.

I think Andrew would do a great job as a LB!!

----man how about trying not to spread bad news about our guys---don't know if it is true but it doesn't need to be on this board---How about trying to help the kid and give him a chance---Think that the Honey Badger got his lets do the same for Qyen if needed!!!

This is a public forum. As a college athlete or anyone in the public eye, you have to accept that when you step out of line, news is going to be spread about you, whether it be good or bad. I hate that Qyen has chosen this path. I hope that his family can provide the guidance he needs to help him with this situation. Trying to help the kid and give him a chance was what the coaches did by keeping him on the team after his first failed drug test. If playing on this football team would have meant as much as we all hope it would to him, then he would have walked out of the first team meeting understanding that smoking pot wasn't an option anymore because it is against team policy. There are MANY guys on the team who follow team rules and prove day in and day out how much being a Ragin Cajun means to them. What you permit is what you promote. Not taking action against Qyen would have sent a message to all the other players that breaking the same rule three times is okay. Our tax money goes to people who don't want to do anything to help themselves. Why would I try to extend another helping hand to one more person who has made it clear that he is not ready to help himself when he has already been giving all the tools necessary to be successful? I would rather invest that energy in rewarding all of the other players who can follow team policy because playing football for ULL means enough for them to do so!
