Two Game Suspension...

A huge bummer for sure. Just coming off a 3 game winning streak, seem to be hitting our stride, opened up The Champions Center, Jensen on the Jerry Rice watch list and boom a player finds himself in the news. I’m really not sure what choices Haslem had but damn the timing couldn’t have come at a worst time. As far as Stitt is concerned he’s the head coach and needs to get the team ready with the players he has. Semore the same as well as Shann. This game will be won and lost in the trenches.
Go Griz!

Correct. still broke the student code of conduct and was not representing himself, the football team, or the school to standards

Thank goodness you visited our site and provided us with that link. Not sure what we would have done without you as you are only four days behind and 17 thread pages

While I have no idea what actually transpired I could certainly imagine circumstances where striking a person while they are trying to get up would be part of a self defense tactic. Immobilize and contain the threat.
Although it's hard to establish what went down from a brief newspaper article I think it's unfair to assume that striking someone trying to get up could not be an act of self defense.

He is not a family member, and he's not "one of their own." He's not their child, he is a college student-athlete, who has the ability to exercise reason, use discretion and exhibit self-control. He is not innocent, he is guilty of of violating the student conduct code by fighting, by his own admission. He hasn't been abandoned by the team or the athletic department, he has been disciplined appropriately for his infraction.
I swear, i_the_sky, you're the most genuinely, sincerely, cluelessly irrational person I've encountered on this site, and that is saying a helluva lot.

All the facts are not out at this time. However, I think you should be open minded enough to consider Strong it him the second time to end the fight. There is a possibility the other guy was getting up to continue.ilovethecats said:
Anyway, what's up with the targeting penalties that seem to be plaguing the bobcats?
Ringneck said:
Does the athletic code prohibit fighting? Don't know. Just asking.
I would agree that what has been put out publicly is probably what most would describe as a fight. However, if someone comes after you and you protect yourself, I don't think I would describe that as fighting. It is protecting yourself.
My reaction to a two-game suspension now may be an indication that UM thinks that he will not ultimately be charged, or certainly not charged with a felony. Because, if a serious charge was still a good possibility, I would think that they would suspend him indefinitely, to allow to see what the authorities do. It would seem odd to take action now, beyond suspension indefinitely, if they though they might have to reverse and take more action or kick him off the team later.
Of course, I have zero info other than what I have read on egriz, so who knows.
The fact that the WSU guy was released on Tuesday, 3.5 days after he was admitted to the hospital, indicates to me that he wasn't hurt as bad as originally thought. I wonder if the original skull fracture info from the police was even accurate. AZDoc, what do you think?
