Sooooo rules violations

[Duckdog]

Who wants ro bet some of these idiots wouldn't stop smoking weed

[Homedawg]

To be clear I haven't checked on why they got the punt. But I will say, if we- leach is going to punt people for smoking dope(and I'm not talking 3/4 times) then he won't make it here... and I don't smoke. But these kids do. And yes it will hurt recruiting when word gets out.

Who gives a 17 about smoking weed. I would make sure athletes passed that bullshit. So many people do weed and they are successful and productive etc. it?s better than alcohol. It?s illegal only because of William Randolph Hearst.

99% of college football players are sparking up. Calvin Johnson did after every game because he didn?t want mat to take opioids.

If Leach is so hardcore on this he needs to check himself, because word is he?s a damn near a drunk.

He looks and sounds like a drunk 90% of the time.

I keep seeing/hearing that Leach has a one strike policy with weed. I don't know if that is true but if it is true then he better not test the players or he better get ready to be Vandy bad.
College football players smoke weed. Saban's players do. The great moralistic Dabo's players do.
I don't think the NFL suspends players for weed so Mississippi State kicking them off the team for one violation won't work.
Fans can gnash their teeth over this and pretend it's the 20th century and think we can get some good ole wholesome boys to play for us and win but it ain't happening.

Half the 7th graders in MS smoke weed. If Leach is one and done, Cohen will have to step in.

50% of 7th graders? where you hear that?

Too bad BYU will out-recruit us for those players.**

Bullshit its his rules follow them. If you can't give up smoking weed and lut your education abd career on the line because of it you have issues.

They will go play literally at any other college though. College players smoke weed. Who really gives a shit.

So how come only non-starters are getting the boot?

Do our starters not smoke weed?

Point being, there’s more going on here.

"everyone does it so what's wrong with smoking weed? Leach is the problem here" give me a break. If that's his rule then follow it. It's not as though what he's asking is unreasonable although most on here say so.

I understand the issue here isn't with health. People smoke cigarettes and drink cases of alcohol all the time. The problem is with the neurological side effects: https://www.drugabuse.gov/publicatio...acts/marijuana take a second and look at the short and long term effects of marijuana usage. Weed (outside of very specific medical usage) should not be encouraged so therefore I have no problem with Leach (if it's even true) taking a hardcore stance against it.

[defiantdog]

Doubt he got cut (if that's the case) if it was his first offense.

Leach is a dinosaur looking to go extinct.

So many are willing to sell their soul to win. If you think the culture was bad, wait till you have a whole team of pot addicted players. Saban ain't going to put up with that either.

Based on feedback on/off campus by students there, the pot problem has gotten worse with Covid school. A few housing locations have pot smokestacks.

No society has ever achieved or sustained success when it loses its moral compass. That is what you see happening in America right now. I don't want our football program to be part of that.

Good one! Tried to give rep but have to spread it around more first.

What on earth are you talking about? Feedback? Pot smokestacks?

Because of COVID??? Either they are going to smoke or they aren't Covid has nothing to do with it.

Are you saying students are volunteering information about their smoking habits to what? A poll of some sort collecting feedback?

Just out of curiosity, would you say my edits to your post changed the message in any meaningful way?



In response to the thread in general, do we have a shred of confirmation yet that weed was the specific offense, or that Leach's zero-tolerance drug policy extends to weed?

Smoking a natural plant is immoral.....?

Get a grip.

Way worse problems than that in our society if you are pointing to morals.

1. State should have hired Sarkisian.

2. Leach is going to have quite the problem if and when weed dispensarys are in Starkville.
