Every Griz player I've ever seen serve a suspension was the NEXT game or games following the infraction. Because that's how it's SUPPOSED TO BE.
You are absolutely right, as of late. However, there have been past instances under previous coaches where the cupcake game was 3/4's of the way through the season and that is the one the player sat for after he got in trouble before the season started. I don't remember the player or the team the griz played. I want to say a little Oregon school.
I realize that I can't argue that point if I choose to say that Lasane was an Ash recruit, so I hope you realize I'm not arguing about something that a previous coach did when Stitt is your current head coach. I'm just pointing out that not every griz player has served a suspension the very next game in the last decade. Under Stitt, yes, its been the next game.
I have never seen a Griz coach, from Don Read to Stitt intentionally skip games and then enforce suspensions. And I follow it pretty damn closely. If you can provide an exact example, with the participants report, then I guess I'll be wrong, but again, I've never seen it. Now, I won't argue that, past Griz coaches have been a little too lax in punishment, and Cat fans were always all over it, sure, I can think a of a few. I'm pretty sure that's happened in the past at UM, MSU and every other college football program in American. All is different now in Missoula and Bozeman with the Code of Conduct however. But intentionally letting players play in games immediately following an announcement of a suspension, and then sitting them later, nah, I can't recall one. But again, if you can provide proof, I'll be happy to say I was wrong.
