more discipline probems

[jakez4ut]

just saw where Bama's starting linebacker was arrested for possesion of weed and carrying a firearm w/out a license....Mike Shula has not been reached for comment and no discipinary action has yet been handed out by him...though the article did go on to speculate that in previous incidents, Shula's punishment has included a suspension. Quarterback John Parker Wilson missed a game and worked with the scout team after his DUI arrest Oct. 16. Safety Marcus Carter missed the 2005 season opener against Middle Tennessee after his May 28 arrest for underage possession of alcohol.


Also, offensive lineman for UGA suspended by richt for "breaking team rules"... richt would not elaborate on that, and suspended the guy for the first two games of the season...WCU and USC.

Just pointing out that even the golden boys have issues sometimes....of course, they have some ways to go to catch up to us..but you get the point nonetheless...and notice the punishments....MTSU? WCU? wonder if the suspension would have taken place if UGA played FL next or if Bama played Aub next...hmmm. i wonder.....

both were on CBS's headlines on the collegefootball page....

dirty laundry...

The word down here is that it was a positive drug test.

I was thinking the same thing about UGA the other day. They recruited the next great QB in Todd Cox just a year ago, now they are already talking about the freshman they brought in this year (I think his name is Stanford help me out with the name GA, I don't have time to search). All that to say, other people are having discipline problems, and UT is not the only school to recruit all americans that don't pan out.

that would explain that....

just goes to show, even for the golden boy Mark Richt, issues persist at all locals.....

and i think it was Joe Cox...from INdependence HS here in Charlotte....his teammate Mohammed Massaquoi was a WR there as well....both played as underclassmen with chris Leak at the same HS...

anybody have a link to bama's board?

I'm ready to start referring to the team standings for most off the field problems as the tide bowl.

I thought Joe Cox was signed more to lure Massaquoi to UGA. I didn't realize he was a highly touted recruit. Massaquoi is pretty awesome, though. I'd say he was way better last year as a freshman than anybody UT put on the field. I think he probably isn't much more talented than a lot of our guys, but Pat Washington didn't really do anything to develop them. In fact, it seems like a lot of our receivers come on strong as underclassmen and get progressively worse (Smith, Meachem, Hannon). Honestly, I'd say some of these guys got better position coaching in high school. Hopefully Trooper will start a trend of improvement rather than deterioration.

I think UT's coaching has suffered from misplaced priorities. As a wr coach the priority should be catching and holding onto the ball. But that seemed to be what they were most lacking in.

It doesn't matter when you take no-name recruits and get them to play the way David Pollack and David Greene did.

Some one has beaten you to it and you might even like the name.

Fulmer Cup


The link to the scoring system takes you to EDSBS (Every Day Should Be Saturday) - a pretty fun (but pro-Gator) website.

The EDSBS guys suggest that Bama gets 3 points for this incident which almost puts them on the board.

Not to Worry!! That Bammer Bubba Player will be disciplined most severely. :birgits_giggle: I suspect the "Death Penalty" or something very serious like suspension from at least ONE HOUR of Windsprints on the first day of practice this fall. :snoring: The Bammer Bubbas have always demanded discipline. :devilsmoke:

Go Vols, Pound the Rock and Run to Victory

 

[GOT TWELVE?]

If he pleads guilty or is found guilty, he should be kicked off the team. I wouldn't expect this out at Juwan, but this isn't the first time I have been shocked.

 

[mattvols]

wow what have the delaware players been up too, 14 arrests? Thats incredible

well he did do his assistant work at free shoe university...

I know they had 3 players arrested for armed robbery. Check the "Scoring System" - different points are awarded for different crimes. I doubt Delaware had 14 arrests - but each arrest "earned" multiple points.

For example, the Bama incident will probably garner 3 points according to the scoring system.

EXERPTS FROM FULMER CUP SCORING SYSTEM --

We know revise the scoring system down to a max 5 point system, with Loren Wade-style “shooting someone in the face while screaming RIVERSIDE M*THERF*CKER!” first degree murder earning you a stout five points. Other crimes, misdemeanors, and various stank point modifiers are located in the list below:

Rape: 4 points. Downgraded to one if either participant is wearing a clown mask.

Bestiality: 4 points. It’s a form of rape, really, no matter how much the goat has had to drink. High point value justified further by the fact that it involves having sex with an animal, which you would say was unthinkable if we hadn’t had in the past year alone two stories involving college athletes and at least the association with barnyard bonhomie of a most intimate degree, including the EDSBS Official GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD, the arrest of Oregon State player Ben Siegert for stealing a sheep used in a study on homosexuality in sheep.

Grand Larceny: 4 points. We use this as a catchall for players being involved in crime so outrageous and well-planned it can only be described as “nefarious,” “professional,” or “legislation.” Applies to large drug rings, chop shop operations, and the Haitian human trafficking ring that’s been run out of the Miami locker room since ‘93. (We kid! They didn’t get that thing humming ’til ‘95 at the earliest.)

Hitting Girls, a.k.a. the Ernie Sims School of Easy Lovin’ Level: 3 points. We’ll downgrade this to 2 if the girl can hold her weight and requires daily medication to prevent her from gouging her own eyes out–since those were the ones we always ended up dating, and we understand–or upgrade to 4 if the damage includes intensive care. But Dad always said never hit girls, so we take this one seriously. Dad also said always double down with split aces, too, but we’ll be damned if we didn’t end up selling bone marrow in Macau the last time we followed that bit of advice.

Car theft/Assault/Driving through houses drunk/Drug possession of the Tyrone Biggums variety: 3 points. “Drug possession” never sounds all that bad until you add in “crack cocaine,” which is society’s signifier that your life has gone from that of high functioning simian in a complex society to that of a rat with electrodes in your brain’s pleasure centers hitting a pedal in a glass box in a lab. Weed? Par for the course, especially if you’re NFL-bound. Crack? Break out the Sportscentury “Weepy Sonata” music, because the story of your descent from boundless potential has just begun, and they haven’t even begun to show the grainy shots of 130-lb you huddled in a shelter on Skid Row.

Fightin’ in ‘da Club/Weed Possession/Standard DUI: 2 points. Any scenario involving group fighting of a thugged-out, “we run this place” variety, and marijuana possession of the nickel bag level. Possession of 100 pounds of marijuana is a totally different thing, and takes you right back up to the 4 point “nefarious” level.

Drankin’/Suspended License/Assorted petty misdemeanors: 1 point.
