[lo country]

dismissed by Riley for violation of team rules

Guy had multiple chances. Not just from Riley, but Bo as well bringing him from Auburn.

Already reported on the board last week. old news

Sippin on gin and juice...

He was a senior, right? If so, dismissing him at this point seems a bit, "You can't quit! You're fired!"

 

[Scratchtown]

I always thought he could have been elite. Had the build.

J rose

Yeah, Jonathan Rose. He had some problems this year. On and off the field.

Too bad about this. CB is a position where we can't afford to lose guys.

no kidding that Rosen kid can throw

Already suspended twice this season. I don't think he was kicked off, but the timing of this time means no more games for him. I'm sure he would have liked to enjoy not going out on this note, but rules are rules.

 

[teachercd]

This is a good move by Riley...sometimes you have to cut out the problems.

Was that a joke? Sorry I didn't laugh LOL

Suspended 3 times in the same season. That may be a new Nebraska record. Congrats

Was kicked off Auburn's team for the same thing.

Not a joke. Just seems weird to me to formally dismiss a player before their final game in a very inconsequential bowl game. At this point, you might as well just let it ride and not play him in the bowl game, but I don't see the utility of throwing a guy off the team roughly a week before the final game of his college career.

I am also confused.

If he failed a drug test and had used up is chances, he is gone! right now. If the coach has a rule, it has to be firm and clear to the rest of the team that the same will happen to them if they break said rule. Its all about deterrent.

 

[zoogs]

The utility is "We're not going to let it ride for your benefit if you keep breaking the rules." That's a message to send to the rest of the team. It's not a soft message meant to try to keep the peace, but I think it is appropriately firm.

It's pretty bummy for a player to not be able to finish his Husker career on his own terms, or to get to partake in the bowl trip with all its swag, etc, along with his teammates.

But the guy apparently messed up twice already this season, and they're not going to just give it to him to be nice, considering the circumstances. I don't know if that's harsh or not, since we all have no idea what sort of teams rules violation this was. Maybe there wasn't much of a judgment call to this.

but I don't see the utility of throwing a guy off the team roughly a week before the final game of his college career.

Because there is a whole herd of underclassmen and recruits watching.
