Honey Badger Hawkeye

[HawkForce]

Kirk needs to jump on this...anyone else I would say no...but he's the HONEY BADGER!!! Come on!!

 

[wuppup]

No way he sits out a year. I see an FCS team in his future, and then declaring for the NFL.

I have a feeling this is what he should do. If not he might be listening to one of the 30 messeges Kiffin has left on his vm already.

 

[DexterMorgan]

If he failed a 3rd drug test he cant play in the NCAA

 

[HawkeyeHypnosis]

There saying he can transfer and sit out a year.

 

[Hawkfnntn]

Maybe UNI will take him?? Ha that kid won't come north of the mason dixon line I bet.

"NCAA rules state that a player must be eligible at the school he is transferring from in order to be play at his new school. Therefore, this would prohibit Mathieu from playing the 2012 season at any level of NCAA competition. If this turns out to be the reason for Mathieu's dismissal, then the junior's likeliest landing spots are NAIA schools, but HBCU schools and even junior colleges have been mentioned. LSU head coach Les Miles did not disclose the reasoning for Mathieu's dismissal, instead calling it "fundamental behavior."

If NAIA/HBCU/JC are his best options, I would guess he sits out the year. His NFL draft prospects are already high, and getting injured playing NAIA would be terrible.

dang, i was hoping that if Iowa got him then mushburger would call all our games just so hey can use the term "honey badger" every 3 words.

 

[ILHawkeye]

He got dismissed from an SEC team so I'm guessing he won't play at any other D1 school. That conference usually doesn't let rules get in the way of football.

 

[ihawkeye]

Not gonna happen. Putting a kid like that in Iowa City would be like give and alcoholic open bar.

 

[rjbaustian]

Not to mention WHY we would want that garbage here!

 

[BergHawk7]

Not gonna happen.

HFM, please enlighten me. What is a HBCU school?

 

[1hawkeye1]

Honey Badger Community United?

Honey Badger Community United?

I googled, it's "Historically Black Colleges and Universities".

 

[H8IAST8]

Ole miss has the most generous drug policy FWIW.

 

[WinOneThisCentury]

I'm sure Kirk will pursue him. He's exactly the type of player he manages well...from DJK to D. Johnson...he loves guys he can turn around.

don't say "honey badger" ever again. its the gheyest f'n nickname I've ever heard and musberger just made it worse when he said it at least 100 times in the national title game. he was just looking for reasons to say it as mathieu had zero impact on the game.
