I'm sorry to interrupt, but I put grated cheddar cheese on my Fritos and put them in the microwave, but now I can't find them anywhere.

For the sake of argument can we all agree that pot is moral and good? It improves thinking, makes you drive slower on the freeway, give more generously to charity, and produces those erections that last four hours or longer?
IF the team rule was don't drink milk and these guys showed up with a milk mustache they broke the rule. It makes no difference if we agree with the rule.
Now circle IF, underline it and highlight it and let's all go back to ganging up on HTM in the RR thread. |
ganging up and RR? I'm there!

A friend of mine once called college a "four year vacation", and I suppose that that is the case for most kids. But college athletes are in a different class - unlike the rest of us, their careers start the moment that they step foot on campus, not the day that they leave it. For them, college is "the real world", and they have to live and act accordingly.

perhaps you should wait a few years to see if these kids "once were pot smokers" too. 
and FYI, college is the "real world" for ALL of us. anything notion to the contrary is merely a figment of your imagination...

get a grip, people. is your self worth so wrapped up in the on-field success of a football team comprised of mainly 18-22 year old college kids that you forget that off the field they are still 18-22 year old college kids? college kids do all kinds of dumb [censored]. it's part of being a college kid and part of growing up here in this thing that many people refer to as the real world.
kicking the (alleged) perps out won't do a lick of good, and if anything will push them in the wrong direction. what the (alleged) perps need more than anything else is to be around their (supposedly) less offending teammates. they get structure and discipline there, something that won't be afforded to them if they are off the team.

good post LV..

Is it a higher standard (no pun intended)? Of course it is, but we do (and should) expect more from the gifted people.
Your argument about the players being able to "get structure and discipline" from being part of the team has some merit, but at some point the kids have to demonstrate that they can actually live with the level of "structure and discipline" that is required of an Ohio State football player.
