3 More Suspensions for Weber game.

[GGNez]

Clearly MD can't control the team, time to hit the road back to Butte...effective immediately.

Come on! Is he supposed to be with them day and night? The only way he can make change is by enforcing and sticking to consequences. Ever raise children? Ever been young? I made many bad choices (even criminal offenses) as a young person. Nobody can "control" an entire team- just hold them accountable.

MISSOULA, MONTANA (10/29/12) – The University of Montana’s head football coach Mick Delaney announced today that redshirt freshman linebacker Nick Holt, junior linebacker John Kanongata’a, and junior offensive lineman Kjelby Oiland have been suspended for one game. The suspension comes for violation of team rules and the three will not travel to Ogden, Utah for this Saturday’s Big Sky Conference game at Weber State.

“It is an unfortunate situation, but expectations are clear,” Delaney said. “I will not go in to particulars about why the three were suspended, but I can say it does not involve law enforcement. I feel it is my responsibility to hold players accountable.”

Glad he's holding them accountable. These men need to learn even if errors in judgement don't result in arrests - you still shouldn't do it.

Sorry, Brint, but I get tired of hearing about "errors in judgment". An "error in judgment" is when you run out of gas because you thought a quarter tank was enough to get you there. Poole knew what he was doing was a crime and he did it anyway. There's no judgment involved in deciding whether to commit a felony or not.

Going through life without getting arrested is a pretty easy thing to do... or at least you'd think it would be

It's not.....ummmm, or at least that's what I've heard.

Kudos to Delaney for holding them accountable. It would have been real easy to look the other way given they still have a shot at a winning season. Honestly, I don't give a rip if we win another game if that is what it takes to get the message drilled into these players heads, if you F up, you pay the piper, plain and simple.

Is it just me or is GB1 just fu*cking brilliant and right on the money all the time. He is a true HOF icon...........not a self appointed one.

maybe I am reading it wrong, but I suspect that shield was being a bit sarcastic, as this seems to many to be what happened to our last coach & A.D.

I thought that too yellowstone, but who knows what people really mean on here 99% of the time.

hmmmm, you must not have been in college in the 60's. I can still smell the tear gas, feel the racist hate, and remember more than one jail. Good times.

And how did that turn out for you? That movement forever branded Democrats as hippies. Thanks for nothing, hippie.

Trying to pick up where Wolfman Jack left off?

Turned out well for me. I know the power of hate and how to deal with it. Recognize fascism when I see it. Can live extremely well, physically and mentally, and financially because of what I believe, and, really don't fear other people whose ideas are different from my own. And, I don't still live in a make believe world where there are still "hippies". I hope your life turns out as well as mine. You would be fortunate, indeed.

I'm thinking we have only 10% of the story.... Poole was arrested by Geoff Curtis who's city police. The party was held out at the Y

Yes from what I understood from the article about the party the Sheriff's Dept. would be the primary law enfocement presence there.

Im guessing city cops provided extra reforcement. No way the sheriffs office could provide the necessary man power by themselves. ,

Good point.

Most law enforcement agencies have cross jurisdictional agreements (city, county, tribal, federal).

Odd, I was in college in the 60's ... down the Bay from the Berkeley riots, and watching our own versions. No jail time, not even a warning from an angry cop. Did not take a lot of brains to stay far enough away to not get caught up in the police sweep when they got tired of dodging bricks and Molotov cocktails. I do remember tear gas, and lots of hate going both ways. I also recall sticking some poor smuck under the shower -- clothes and all -- to try to get it off. Helped fix a few scalp lacerations -- worst was a girl who got hit in the back of the head by a half-brick thrown by another protester. I suppose there might have been a "harboring a fugitive" possibility in there somewhere, but no arrests, no jail time, etc.
So yes, it is not that difficult for most ordinary people to go through life without getting arrested.

Excellent point....have been misunderstood a time or two on here myself. Sure hope it was sarcasm!

We'll beat the Cats without these guys. You heard it here first!

Should have been on a bus..not fun. Intense! The Bay Area movement was about the war, my first years in college were about Civil Rights, big difference...Good times! My side won. The anti war side..well, they got their deferments but war is bigger business in America now, by far. Civil rights are now taken for granted, even by those who arrested, beat, and killed a few....Don't forget to vote...

You don't have to go back to the 60's; how about the Wall St. occupiers?
