How Big a Deal is Carlton Thomas's Suspension for the Georgia Bulldogs?

ouch

Another ‘Water Boy’ reference just begging to be made….

and that is still the greatest signing day picture in the history of pictures. Or signing days.

Will never get old.

Suspended for providing illegal nom noms to said puppy.

It’s the vapor trail from a warhead! Tomorrow morning, Seth Emerson is going to report that a nuclear bomb hit the hedges.

(I told you Depressive Kyle was on duty!)

Joe T was a coach at my High School….way back when…I was not impressed…but I wasn’t impressed with any of the cadre at that point in life…I hope he is not Mandlebaum

. . . have hired a guy whose job is to make sure Charlie shows up for work.

My first thought was, “Any employee who requires you to hire a second employee to make sure the first employee shows up for work is not someone you should hire.”

My second thought was, “We need to hire one of those guys for our football team.”

My third thought was, “Isn’t that Joe T.’s job?”

. . . who shows up, stays eligible, doesn’t get suspended, blocks, and doesn’t fumble.

Actually gaining yardage would be a plus, but it’s not mandatory.

. . . should give each recruit a dumbass rating, in addition to a star rating, so we’ll all know what we’re getting.

My guess would be that there are still team meetings and requirements and that he’s dancing with the line. At this point though, do we really need to question it? If there’s a way for our players to get suspended, they’ll find it.

So is playing time.

I have absolutely no problem with giving preferential treatment to the hardworking.

(I would add that, while I have no cause to doubt HerschelBlogger’s source, I don’t know who it is, either, so I can neither confirm nor deny the accuracy of this report. That’s not to cast aspersions on HerschelBlogger or the person to whom he spoke, but, in the absence of verification which I cannot claim to have, I don’t want to present this as though I know it to be true; I don’t. That doesn’t mean it’s not, but it does mean I can’t say it is, which is why I’m not posting it on the front page as though I know it’s so.)

but Remember The Titans keeps coming to mind. I realize it’s a new world and coaches have to be careful, however, I still don’t see why, in the case of Isiah possibly missing workouts, a bunch of guys don’t show up at his door and let him know what they think about that.

I have also been thinking of a bootcamp analogy. Bootcamp in the military service really doesn’t teach a lot that those young airman, soldiers, sailors and marines will need to do their future jobs. Shining shoes and making beds really doesn’t really make someone fire a rifle better or run faster. In fact, even boot camp workouts are not the best for physical conditioning. The point is they put you through something very challenging so you come out more confident and learn to foster teamwork. Summer workouts and two a days are the same thing – to build confidence and teamwork.

CMR is likely right, working out twice a day isnt necessarily going to gain that much in terms of conditioning, and in the pro’s watching film is valuable. What these guys need is to learn to put the team above themselves and not think individually.
