Will he practice what he preaches? Or is he gonna let those players skate?
Worse yet, will he discipline just the expendable ones and let the headliners skate?
Soon, we will see Hugh's true colors. Hell, this is worth a vcash question.

I imagine this..especially since there's not a list of players who were there and if there is many can still say they didn't say anything.Quote:

He is going to suspend the headliners from doing wind sprints at the end of practice. I really doubt Freeze does anything at all.
They know who the 20 are because they were required to be there. I think all 20 will be punish in some manner but if it is a game suspension it will not be this weekend. Freeze is a show boat christian.Quote:

Better duck Ryan Buchanan.
They know. No one else does, at least as far as I know. That means that, while it won't be effective, they can essentially just come up with their own list, punish those players, and let others, like Nkemdiche and Treadwell, go and claim they weren't there.Quote:

Way too many people are upset and many of them are liberal teachers at the school and I am pretty sure a lot of them don’t give a rat tail about football. Plus this gives the school a black eye and they have to do something to show they care.Quote:

The CL article said referred to "all incoming freshmen" being in there, so that would be the highly touted recruiting class.
Should every player in the audience be suspended, regardless of whether or not they personally made any inappropriate comments? What about non-players in attendance, suspended as well? Curious about everyone's stance on this.
Very true.Quote:

I would expect us to do the exact same thing if it happened in Starkville.Quote:

Until Mississippi steps up and puts a stop to this kind of crap, and makes examples of people that do this kind of crap, nothing will change.
Gregg Doyle did a great article on a HS team with a similar issue. He made every player turn their jersey in and earn it back. Same kind of thing needs to happen here.
The funny thing is, most of those Ole Miss freshmen weren't from Mississippi, but that will obviously be the perception.
I see this as a situation in which the discipline is handled "inside the locker room" or whatever coaches say these days when they make a guy run an extra lap or carry the water jug to practice...
Notice game day is already right around the corner. Things like this slowly get swept under the rug.Quote:

The penalty for their behavior was the loss of the first half of the next game. I knew that when I had that many of our players involved, and many were either starters or saw significant minutes, we would lose that week. it is hard to have to accept it, and especially given that we ended up losing our spot in the playoffs because of that game; however, I would do it again if given a second chance. If Freeze wants to make a statement and follow through on how he will handle this program, then he should suspend all 20 players for this week, and those that are redshirted should lose their first game next season. If he doesn't, he will lose much footing in terms of control of his program. I have a lot of angry parents and fans right now, but ultimately, you have to draw a line and let them know that there are serious repercussions for their actions.
Admire your stance Westdawg. We need more discipline like this.
