Suspensions, per sources

[Interpolation_Dawg_EX]

Here is a rumor: The people who actually KNOW what is going on aren't positing about it on the internet.

Problem is nobody knows other than the administration knows exactly what is going on. Frankly I don't want to know and wish Steve and the like would drop it. I get everybody wants to break a story, but to the detriment of the program?

Not really sure what's so detrimental about finding out this week vs next week. The program is hurt by the athletes doing what gets them suspended, not when people find out about the inevitable

Not until the media gets a hold of it. Steve and the others are looking for the reason they were suspended, not just who is suspended. If it's an academic issue and MSU can keep it under wraps, it's best for the program.

The suspensions are long. There won't be any hiding it's a major issue.

Student privacy laws are powerful. I bet you never officially hear why they were suspended.

8 games?

Yep

[Coach34]

We lost 3 DT's from last season. One was a 1st round pick and the other two are highly likely to make a roster in the NFL. That hurts and everybody knows it.

Now, lets remove our best returning DT and 2 others in the rotation for 8 of our 12 games. Our DT's will get single blocked alot this year and that is a killer because the LB's wont be free to run to the ball like last year because they will have OL guys in the face constantly.

Shoop is going to earn his money this year.

Braxton Hoyett just graded the highest of any Titans defender in their last pre-season game.

[HoopsDawg]

I hope what I just heard about the length of the suspensions for 2 VERY KEY Defensive players is not correct. If true, WOW, just WOW.

Not Good.

Willie and Autry?

[MrKotter]

Willie and Autry?

Nobody here posting about it knows a damn thing. Not sure why people keep asking these morons?

[biggun]

Willie and Autry?

Yes

See, we can agree on things.

Either way, he is going to figure it out.

[deadheaddawg]

I have a source whose sorces told him all this suspension talk is just unsourced rumors leaked by Moorhead to uncover any sources who are spreading rumors and to uncover the source of any leaks. ... in fact the 8 game suspensions will be for.......


All y'all's sources. They will be put on an 8 game paid administration leave and will have all source credentials revoked

[ShotgunDawg]

Bigger question is: do we get to choose the games?

Yes, an 8 game suspension is bad, but if the 4 games they are play are against LSU, Auburn, A&M, & LSU, then I think we can survive

The best you can hope for if it all boils down to 8 players for that many games is that your depth is built and your few starters are rested for down the stretch. The NCAA still has Love to rule on. He's been practicing and going through it like everybody else, but I have not heard much about vs the young guys there. Lovett is actually getting more praise than Love...

In the end, it forces guy to step up.. ON BOTH sides of the ball. We may have to pull our defense through some games. It sucks for Moorhead though.

[Bothrops]

8 players for 8 games including 2 DT and a starting LB could reduce our wins to a bottom tier bowl and mass hysteria within the fanbase during the off season. Sure as hell hope it ain't that.

[MarketingBully]

Well, we have two conflicting source reports. One side says "No big deal, no one we'll really miss too much" and the other says "It's going to suck and ruin our season."

I guess the only thing left to do is wait and see. I'm not going to get worked up about rumor and speculation.

Never go with the all doom and gloom or the it?s no big deal. I think this is somewhere in the middle. But either way what we should be pissed at is one ****ing tutor did this.

[MarketingBully]

No apologies needed but thank you. I hate to see bad things happen to our university. It should bother all of us. Especially I hate seeing things supposedly under our control come out with negative consequences. If something occurs outside of reasonable control and/or oversight, it is difficult to point fingers. This really is inexcusable. Hate it for the student athletes to be affected like this. We can only hope they all learn a life lesson and become better people.

The tutor was kicked out of school but what I want to know is how did this get so far that it affected multiple sports and a number of athletes. How did it go so far that we found out about this too late that we had to turn it over to Bracky. There should have been procedures followed where we have a middle man to prevent this from even happening to where it doesn?t get to our compliance arm. Who vetted this tutor and had oversight on them? They kind of fell asleep at the wheel there. That?s what I want to know.

We actually lost 4 that contributed. Tre Brown, Braxton Hoyett, Jeffrey Simmons, and Cory Thomas. And also Grant Harris that didn't really contribute. Autry is the only contibutor back. We have a bunch of youth and inexperience inside. It's a real concern.

[basedog]

Next man up! Way too much negative about the season, time will tell and why worry and get your panties in a wad?

Offense from looking on the outside and on paper looks the best it's been in a while.

I've seen and heard worse, Msu will survive so take a deep breathe and stop with all the "it's soooo bad", again next man up!

Oh I ain't pumping sunshine nor I'm I ready to jump off DWS, enjoy and be happy. I have come to realize rumors destroy fans. I read where some on here blame Joe for ticket sales this year, if that is true then message boards play a big part, but so does ticket prices and tv game. It's hot as Haiti as well and that doesn't doesn't help.
