Suspensions and Dismissals - Sousa, Gibson, Preble

[deacs1995]

you talking about wellman? i thought it was a head injury.

 

[sarcasdeac]

Didn't he suffer a serious back injury that put him in the hospital for a few days? His rethinking his commitment to college football makes a little bit of sense

That was Zach Gordon

I know that their is some attrition after a coaching change, but this is something Barry Alverez would be proud of.

Strong at Texas has booted about 15 players it seems.

I believe he suffered a concussion in the first scrimmage.

Whoops. You're right.

As of a week ago it was 7 dismissed and 4 suspended. Led to having a combined 5 starts on the O-Line against BYU. I like that he is sticking to his guns.

Let to having a combined 5 starts on the O-Line against BYU.

It showed.

 

[bojanglefunk]

It showed.

Yep.

Blue collar approach to blue chippers doesn't always work but then Strong isn't landing blue chippers.

As a parent who is paying a boatload of money for his son to attend Wake Forest, I'm always amazed how these goofballs piss away a college degree that would otherwise cost over $250k and it costs them $0. Do they have that little regard for the school that they are willing to throw this opportunity away? These are 18-22 year old kids, but don't they understand any of this? My perspective on all of this has changed now that I'm forking over big bucks to MSD, and I'm a lot less understanding and unsympathetic to the guys who throw this opportunity away.

Well maybe your son can walk on and earn a scholarship. Look at this as an opportunity.

 

[DinDC]

He should have just ordered a freaky fast delivery from Jimmy Johns!

There's a brand new Jimmy Johns at Reynolda Manor.

My son can't walk and chew gum at the same time, but fortunately he is smart

Actually, the latest number is 8, I believe. Mack Brown had a lot of Grobe in him and vice-versa....:bowrofl:

But athletes should be paid.

 

[Complacent Deac]

Sounds like we have FSU's offensive line based on those scouting reports.

Or the 49ers. What a joke of a scouting report.

 

[Complacent Deac]

I can't say it's a huge loss. Preble was more interested in drinking beer and smoking last year than going to practice or the gym. I wish he had panned out, but right now this just looks like a couple more scholarships open.

Drinking and smoking? Sounds like a good fit for Coach Dooley's offensive line.

[liv'nlife]

Misdemeanor larceny for Preble.

This wasn't the cause of prebles dismissal from the team, he failed a drug test(s). The blogger so dear article is just making an assumption based off of a background check, the writer of that article is making connections that don't exist and have no backing.
