Jailbirds take LSU To the Championships

Arkansas lost again to a group of players that might should have been suspended, in jail or kicked off the team for offenses committed during the offseason and this season, reminiscent of their game with Ohio State in the 2010 Sugar Bowl.

Pryor's tattoo sleeve
In the Razorback's game with the Buckeyes in January, quarterback Terrelle Pryor, receiver DeVier Posey and running back Daniel 'Boom' Herron scored touchdowns. Up by seven points, linebacker Soloman Thomas sealed the OSU victory with an interception on Arkansas' last drive of the game. These four players and one other, a starting offensive linemen, were allowed to play in the Sugar Bowl after the NCAA found the five guilty of selling championship rings, jerseys, awards and receiving improper benefits from a tattoo parlor. The NCAA did suspend the players for the first five games of this season but there was very little support behind its decision to let the five player play in the bowl game last season.

Jefferson's mugshot from his arrest on Aug. 28

  Similarly, without LSU's Jailbirds' points on Friday the Bayou Bengals would have tied the Razorbacks 17-17 -- that score includes the Tigers extra points scored after four Jailbird touchdowns-- and forced no turnovers if the the Jailbirds had not played.

The Jailbirds are led by the starting quarterback Jordan Jefferson (1 rushing TD, 1 passing TD), who was arrested during the offseason for his involvement in a bar fight, where he stomped a man's face into the ground. The other three members of the gang are defensive backs Tyrann Mathieu (1 punt return for touchdown and 2 forced turnovers), Tharold Simon (multiple pass breakups) and running back Spencer Ware (1 rushing TD), who all tested positive for marijuana earlier this season.

Do not see a bitter fan writting away in his living room as you read this. I am not complaining about the 41-17 thrashing the Tigers handed the Razorbacks.  LSU is the best team in the game and deserves to go to the BCS National Championship no matter the result of next week's SEC Championship against Georgia. It was a fair played beat down where LSU proved to be the far superior team. Instead, look at the game from a different perspective. Is college football actually developing young men as is its purpose?

  1. This sounds like you have a serious case of Sore Loserness bro. the fact that you took time out of your life to complain about this stuff and had the audacity to call them thugs gang members and jailbirds makes you the dumbest human being on the face of the earth. not a single one of these alleged offenses resulted in any type or form of incarciration or legal reprimand. Not only were your facts wrong, they were irrelevant. Just because you cheer for a terrible team don't go digging for ways to justify the loss the only thing you will find is china by digging that deep. Furthermore I notice that you have nothing posted about your saint like razorbacks and their adulterating leader Bobby Petrino. Did you fall out of your ivory tower when he was caught cheating on he wife and was forced to issue his resignation with a neck brace (evidence that he was a cheater)? Maybe next time before you go posting irrelevant information in your diary, I'm sorry I meant blog (diaries are for 11 year old girls) you will retract your bullshit allegations of calling these fine YOUNG never before convicted American Athletes of being jailbirds or thugs.
    Sincerely,
    True American college football and Buckeye Advocate (Voicing his feelings and opinions to douche bags who accuse and judge players and tries to justify his teams terrible ability on the ALLEGED wrong doings of these young majority teenage athletes, regardless of the alleged committed offenses your team still lost and not only did they lose they lost with an adulator calling the plays)
