Per Bonner, Fred has been kicked out of school for violating the school's honor code. Say it ain't so.

I'm guessing he got caught cheating in class?
Opens up room for other guys to play. That are just as talented if not better..
Will miss Fred's experience , but thats about it..
We have WR's ...
And hopefully we can be more physical and run ball more ...
WE gonna have to make some offensive changes. We dont have the WR's now to keep running 3 out there all nite
This may push Ross back to the outside.
Dear, Ross, & Gray 1st Team
Mixon, Myles, & Jackson 2nd Team
At least early on until we see what Thomas, Spivey, & Couch can do. This does open up a chance for Epps to see the field if he has his head on right.
Not clicking the link since I don't want to give anything to the CL. Amazing how much reporting they do on anything bad about MSU.Quote:

As much as Dan raved about Jordan Thomas, do we run more 2 TE sets? Justin Johnson showed something last year and Green is supposedly really good. Not even counting Dontae Jones or anyone else.Quote:

If we develop a run game this won't be as bad as it seems.
With all the bodies and possible talent we have at TE , would love to go more 2 TE sets..Quote:

I'm glad he didn't get a parking ticket.
We have known this was coming. This is the reason we have to move a potential all American safety to WR. Of course, the real reason is because our staff failed miserably in recruiting WRs.
Not gonna click it or directly comment on the Brown situation. This is another Clarion Liar tactic of "Hey, look over there!!" As they sweep other things under the rug for TSUN.Quote:

Man that sucks!!! I loved Fred Brown. Is there anymore talk about moving Justin Johnson to WR? And how is Jessie Jackson looking?? We are bad thin at WR.
Damn.
Yes. Not the first time either.Quote:

I'm glad to see this honestly. Hate it for the young man, but Honor Code violations are serious and I'd rather have this happen now than during the season when the team is depending on him the next week. I hope he lands on his feet and learns from the situation, but at least our guys have time to prepare and think about what we need to do for next year.
As far as C34's comments on having the depth to run 3 receivers, I'm not sure that we don't yet. We'll need to see how things develop, but I think we have a couple of guys that have the talent and can step up to fill the gaps. Just like Derunnya and Fred stepped up in 2013, we'll need one or two guys to step up this year and help us stay on track. I think we'll find those players.
Does Couch have the talent to step in as a freshman? He seems big enough.
I hate it for the kid, but it seems like he could never get it together. It sure would be nice to get some good news for a change.
Don't boggart your friend's spice...oh, and bros before hoes.Quote:

No, he didn't care, it seems to me that there are not a lot of um 'gifted' writers, journalists, whatever they are...overall, in the whole thing. So I stand there in the store with people, pointing out this paper doesn't even know which teams are no. 1 and who is ultimately the best. I found it sad, the shell guy found it humorous (southern fan, he was). Maybe they aren't bias and just um inept. Incompetent, we are trying to figure out if we can bring suit, even if just to waste time. None of the writers even use the vocabulary to make the topics interesting, much less have the facts.
C-L wouldn't report it.Quote:

It states, and I quote: In any case where a group of athletes are involved in an incident with law enforcement officials that may shed a negative light on the program, the athlete with the lowest ranking at the time of his recruitment is expected to step forward and claim sole responsibility for said act that necessitated law enforcement involvement and testify that other athletes now present were not there at the time of the incident or that they had just recently arrived and were diffusing the situation by protecting innocent people while humming Kumbaya.Quote:

I hope this wasn't a first offense. I hope it's under better control these days, but a good bit of cheating was going on in my day (not by me).
I think that's ridiculous. Newspapers weren't created to give you positive stokes. They're here so we have a chance to know what the hell is true. When we don't have them anymore, politicians will be able to manipulate us with total abandon. That's your money I'm talking about, as well as the quality of life in your community.Quote:

It obviously really hurts our depth b/c Jackson is unproven and Myles hasn't played out wide much. Hopefully we bring back the FB/HB and use Shump and Murphy in that role.Quote:

I think there is plenty enough receiving talent still here. I hope some receivers can step up and replicate the downfield blocking prowess Bear delivered.
