MARCUS THOMAS AND SCOOP SUSPENDED FIVE GAMES

do you have a link? or is it still rampant speculation at this point?

Message board chatter, but seems like its legit:

Good for Meyer to step up with a serious suspension of a prominent player. Kevin Sears received a five game suspension for a DUI and Tray Blackmon’s will end up being the same.

The UF front four looked to be the most solid part of the team, hopefully Kenny Irons will have more room to run on October 14.

Well, if you think that’s serious, Shula just announced that he’s suspending the 2007 signing class starting now. They’re going to miss the rest of the season and the Bowl Game, and they’ll only get 1 scoop of ice cream instead of two.

I suspect AJ Pennypacker may be involved in this.

Damn, you Auburn guys are in the top five in the nation, eyeing a national championship — a real one, not one won on probation — and y’all still can’t quit talking about Bama.

It’s just sad, that’s all.

We’re 3 games in. We still have to face powerhouses like Florida, Georgia, and ESPN. We’ll lose that last one.

Here is what appears to be a legit link: http://www.am850.com/sports/archives/2006/09/thomas_facing_another_suspension.asp

Dumb enough to eat the Silica Gel? Or the level of dumbness rendered by eating the Silica Gel? Which one is dumber?

Shula is a dickless fraud

Bummer for Fla. Tough to make a sandwich without two slices of bread. Maybe it’d be more like a pita pocket.

Hold up, Orson.

First you rank Alabama with 2 weeks before the game w/ your boys.

“At least we lost to a ranked team”

Second, you lay the groundwork for excuses with suspension talk.

“Ken Darby would have never rushed for 175 yds and 3 TDs if Marcus Thomas and Scoop had been in there. Damn you Urban Meyer and your finger!”

Quit your bitchin’. Wish I could be there to see it. I’m out.

The O-Sent. is reporting this as well. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/local/orl-bk-marcus092006,0,1563668.story?coll=orl-sports-headlines

One bright spot is that the first test he failed (which is why he didn’t play against S. Miss) and the 2nd he failed were very close together. He is claiming he only did it once and that he shouldn’t be punished for one offense a second time. Stay tuned….

I can’t understand how an Alabama whose team has played no one of significance so far make an assumption that Darby would run for that kind of yardage.

If they can’t run on Vanderbuilt, do they think they have a chance against us. Typical Bama homer.

Cool Hand Mike, we will reserve all and any taunting for next week. In the meantime, we are 100% focused on Kentucky.

(stifling. laughter.)

Damn you Gainesville green! Damn you! Domino’s anyone?

Hey, don’t knock the Cats…after all, we’ll get you back on the hardcourt…wait, d@mnit!

Keep the FIVE game suspensions coming…this is the year we turn the streak around.

Go Dawgs!

“This is the year we turn the streak around.” Ohiodawg (1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005)

Unless, the streak you’re talking about is the0-fer AU/FL that dates back to 1982.

if the ua/uf game is even close it will be all joe kines doing, our offense will be in its usual degenerate form…not because of a lack of talent but rather bc of the two fucking imbeciles calling plays

hell, I don’t even feel too good about the Arkansas game

Kentucky spanked The Fighting O’s last week. Watch out!

Hopefully Alabama will cover their end of the deal against St Mitch of Nutt.

Typical Bama Homer.

Typical? I hope far from it.
Bama homer? No Shit!

Would like to state first that I never have consumed any illicit substances.

Consulted my Portland stoner friends and they sent me this link:

http://www.marijuanapassion.com/How-Long-Does-Marijuana-Stay-In-Your-System.html

The most relevant sections:

f you smoke it occasionally it will remain in your system for up to 10 days. If you smoke marijuana on a regular basis it will stay in your system for as long as 45 days, and if you smoke marijuana at a constant pace, it can stay in the body for 90 days, Marijuana is fat soluble. It stores in the fat cells of the body, the brain, the liver, the kidneys, in other words the major organs.

And more importantly for Scoop.

What is frequently described as THC’s lingering in the body fluids and organs are metabolites of Delta-9-THC, the inert substances that the body disposes of in the urine and excrement, in much the same way as it disposes with Vitamin A. It is these that are detected in the body organs and urine, long after the effects of Delta-9-THC have worn off. These metabolites can linger more than 90 days in some cases. For occasional users, an average of 13 days was recorded. Some people had metabolites detectable for just three days; others found the substances still in the urine after up to 30 days.

No info on how having a belly so large it has its own nickname can affect the length of stay for the above metabolites.

One last thing:

It’s cool as fuck to be a 310-lb man and be able to do a standing back flip, but how cool is it to be able to be a 310-lb man and be able to do a standing back flip stoned?

DG, that is the quote of the day.

Have you ever seen a guy do a backflip? Have you ever seen a guy do a backflip on WEEEEEEEEED?

Steven “He’s going through some personal issues right now but at least he’s getting a degree from the University of Florida” Harris better send away for his Steve Lattimer Oil Change kit if Foley gives him one more shot. At least he & scoop have hiring potential as a ’hired mercenary" for the Sovereign Republic of Dee, where the benefits package is only slightly weaker than the weaponry.

At least assault rifles were not involved, or were they?

All the respect in the world for The Urban and his disciplinary choices. He doesn’t have to explain himself to me.

I’ll be embarassed for him if he reverses himself, even if UF does apparently have some kind of process where a players mother can appeal the suspension. That IS cutting edge.

Footbaw coaches shouldn’t equivocate. It makes the look weak.

Boclive, Urban did not hand down the punishment and he has nothing to do with whether or not it is reversed. The school has suspended him indefinetly pending the resolution of the appeal.

If they determine the tests were taken too close together, he will not miss anytime. If they determine he smoked weed after being caught the first time (which he has already missed one game for) then he will be suspended for 5 games (school policy, not Urban policy).

I think there is a very good chance this gets overturned considering how close the tests were taken and if so there is no reason to be embarrassed for anyone other than the administrator responsible for leaking this.

How many college students at UF smoke dope and don’t get tested or tossed from school or even bothered about it? How many PROFS get away with same?

What would be the reaction if professors at NCAA universities were held to the same standard as STUDENT athletes?

Leaving aside the batshit-crazy drug laws and the fact that this is against the equally looney NCAA star-chamber rulebook, there is a mountain of hypocrisy necessary to dock an 18-23 year old kid some glory days that he’ll never get back so that… what?

Aside from reinforcing for a star athlete yet another perverse lesson about how the rules apply differently to him (this time in a negative sense) it is really hard to see what has been accomplished here.

It’s easy to comment when you really don’t know shit about dick…. live it, and then come back on and feed the world your bullshit comments.
