The guy must have massive balls. He not only broke the rules by making a personal attack, but he came right out and said he did it, and that that was the reason for creating an account to begin with. Balls. massive balls.

Well, I have no idea what Bo's rules are, besides the zero tolerance for underage drinking. But, if a guy is stupid enough to keep smoking pot after the two warnings I'm sure he got, then there's no reason to keep him on the team. If that's the case with the four guys that are supposedly getting kicked off right now, I don't feel an ounce of compassion for them.

No way Suttle has been on campus long enough to make this his third strike

It really doesn't matter what any of our personal feelings on drugs and underage drinking are, because Bo Pelini makes the rules for this team. I'm pretty sure all of the guys on the team have to sign some sort of contract that says they know and understand all of those rules before they can become part of the team. If they break them, that's their fault. They were aware of the consequences and if they get kicked off the team for breaking simple rules that their freaking head coach set out for them, good riddance to them.

I agree with this but those are some pretty big "ifs" and "pretty sures". IF they signed a team contract and subsequently didn't live up to their end of the bargain then, as we used to say in the frat "your bags can be found out on 16th street".

I am struggling with a potential zero tolerance policy for underage drinking or marijuana use though. These players are also college students, aren't they? I understand that if they know the rules then shame on them but, if those are the rules, seems a bit stringent to me. IMO, those should be at least 1 or 2 warning offenses before serious repercussions.

Who cares if you're a college student? The law is the law and team rules are team rules. In the military, if you get caught smoking weed, you're going to go to jail, lose rank, lose privileges, and lose money. Getting kicked off a team after repeatedly breaking the rules seems like a pretty light punishment, if you ask me.

I said I agreed with you IF they broke team rules they had consented to. Problem here is; 1-this is not the military 2-there is no indication anybody repeatedly broke any rules 3-there is no confirmation anything at all actually took place yet and 4-it sounds to me like you really have no idea what the team rules are or if there is a zero tolerance policy for any of these alleged happenings.

And, being a college student is relevant. You cannot ignore the fact that these are still young adults, some only one year removed from high school. The college years are when normal people tend to experiment with some of these things. Just because they happen to play football for good ole Nebraska U does not instantly transform them into some sort of super being that is immune to societal and peer pressures. IF there is a zero tolerance policy for under age drinking or marijuana use then I will state, as a matter of fact, that policy is too strict. So, unless you have a copy of the team rules showing this to be the case, you need to back the truck up.

Speaking of the rare occasion where we see a bypassing of three strikes....

As entertaining as some of the subsequent commentary about the ban was, I moved them to the junkyard. Saved this one so we'll remember what it was for, and accountability's so we'll remember that he's a fan of balls. you know, just the important stuff. Carry on.

Lighten up, man. I've made sure to say "supposedly" in all of my posts. I have no idea what happened. I'm stating my views on the matter and you're stating yours. I personally believe that the "stresses" of college are no excuse to experiment in drugs, but that's me. I know a lot of people won't agree with me, but I hold myself to a high standard. There are some people who have legitimate reasons to use drugs and these football players are not part of that group.

While there have been no official statements made by the school or team, sources tell us that it is likely that Suttles and Brown will likely be suspended indefinitely with Santos, Rose, and others facing less severe charges.

So if this one holds true, it will suck, but at least we can hang onto Santos and Rose. I expect both of those guys to have large roles this year.

That's good news. Jonathon Rose has been tearing it up in practice, according to insiders. I can't wait to see him play next year.
