Quote from Hauck:
We handle all discipline through our Student-Athlete Code of Conduct,” Montana coach Bobby Hauck said Wednesday at practice, before Calhoun’s court appearance. “That’s where it goes, and beyond that, we don’t address it. … Our two-deep that we produced on Tuesday is all we’re going to say about that. I haven’t given him much thought, frankly. He hasn’t been in the mix, so if he ever works his way into the mix, we’ll give that some thought.”
Yep, the definition of the doghouse. I’m guessing this 3rd game suspension is due to the disorderly conduct after the fight. Man, if this kid can redshirt he may want to look into that hard.

I don't know. If I was a running back playing behind the offensive line we have seen up to now I might be in the bar at 1:30 wondering if I could average over 2.5 YPC. And most of us were in a bar at one time at 1:30 when we were in college. Got to stay out of fights though. But times have changed and we all have to accept it. Honestly at this point I don't feel it significant who we really have in the backfield as a running back. I give some credit to Hauck and Rosy to simply accept that we will move the ball with a very controlled passing attack. Sneed throws a pretty good short and intermediate pass so that has been working. I don't see this as a significant impediment to the season.
You would think this week's road game he would not travel and that would be the third game (he is suspended for) but... Surprises, who doesn't like em.

Read this. From Missoulian article. Good description of what happened.
Looks like Jeremy came in to get someone off his brother, or break up the fight (which he isn't in), Ward grabs Jeremy from the back to pull him away, and Jeremy turns around and smacks him. First punch lands, second punch doesn't, then Ward swings at Jeremy and misses. Personally, I don't really fault Jeremy much, if these are the facts. Too bad he had such a good or lucky first punch. I wonder if the county attorney had threatened a bigger charge, to force him and his attorney to accept this. This penalty looks like Missoula bias against athletes to me.
"Smith also argued that while Calhoun had already pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor charge, he had essentially reacted in self-defense in a fast-moving situation in the early-morning fight on May 5.
A security camera video, shown on screen during the hearing, shows a fight involving Ward’s roommate and Calhoun’s brother, Justin, also a member of the Griz football team. As people are kicking and stomping Ward’s roommate, Jeremy Calhoun comes in to pull someone away from Justin. Ward walks up, wraps his arms around Calhoun to pull him away; then Calhoun turns around, squares up and punches Ward in the face, knocking out his two front teeth.
“Aaron grabs him and Jeremy doesn’t know who it is or how serious it is and essentially defends himself,” Smith said. “We didn’t go with a justifiable use of force defense because he feels bad about the damage he did.
"From day one, he's felt bad that his punch was destructive," Smith said.
Bloom took exception to the characterization of the fight, and Smith’s “back-door” insertion of a self-defense claim. Although Ward, himself a former member of the UM basketball team, had already made a statement to the court, Bloom called him back to the stand to testify about the fight. Ward said during the melee he had watched others pull dreadlocks from his roommate’s head, spurring him to try to break the fight up, but said he never stood in a fighter’s stance or did anything that would convey to Calhoun that he wanted to box.
After Calhoun swings a second time, and appears to miss, Ward throws a punch back, also missing. At that point the fight seems to disperse and the video ends.
“It’s a brawl,” Beal said after hearing Ward’s testimony. “I don’t believe anyone there was shocked that it turned into what it did.”
Beal ultimately gave Calhoun the deferred sentence, although quadrupling the recommendation by his defense.
Calhoun did not make a statement to the court, although his mother came with a prepared letter, and apologized directly to Ward and his family.
“This isolated incident does not define my son’s character,” she said, fighting back tears as she spoke. “He’s not a violent person. He was not raised to be violent … We pray we’re all able to learn and move forward with our lives.”
