Please show me where I EVER suggested that he be removed from the team...
Listen
He is a MINOR
HE is a MINOR who was DRINKING
He is a MINOR who was DRINKING and DRIVING
He is a MINOR who was DRINKING and DRIVING on CAMPUS
He is a MINOR who was DRINKING and DRIVING on Campus during the SEASON
He is a MINOR who was DRINKING and DRIVING during the SEASON on CAMPUS at a time when UM can ill-afford more bad publicity....
Certainly Tinkle COULD have used this unfortunate instance as an opportunity to show that UM Athletics are indeed at least trying to turn the ship around by imposing more than the obligatory minimum slap on the wrist, but he chose not to.... His actions speak volumes, unfortunately those actions appear to mimic years past that got UM Athletics in the mess they are in now.....
You never had a glass of wine under the age of 21 or a single beer? As was said earlier, to blow a .02 it could have been something as simple as 1 glass of wine at dinner, or a single beer with friends. No need to turn this into something bigger than it was. He was suspended 2 games for this, and I'm confident that it sent the right message suspending him for 2 games.
So I'm curious, you keep stating that Tinkle should have done more... yet you offer up no opinion on what he should have done. What do you think he should have done? Be specific here, none of this "he should have done more" bullshit.
