No way...it's just practice...that's what we're talking about...

He failed a drug test for POT over the summer. Roughly three weeks later he failed again with a lower lever of the drug in his system that is consistent with not having smoked pot in a few weeks. Sure he failed his second test but for the same offense as his first time or so he claims. He was suspended at the beginning of the season as is required by policy but when they wanted to add on another five games for the seond failed test he appealed because he claims it is due to this "one time" he passed the dutchie. The school is simply acknowledging that herb stays in your system for a long time after you smoke so it is entirely plausible that he did only smoke this one time. <BR/><BR/>My thoughts on this are that he most likely smoked out over the summer and had a really high level of thc in his fat cells. It probably did stay in his system for around 30 days so maybe he did really get screwed. The biggest problem with suspensions in college sports is that you rarely hear what they did because they are students. You might catch bits and pieces of what occured but you might not catch the whole story unless you read every paper every day. Sort of like Peter Warrick at FSU. You know he had the hookup at dillards but how many people know how much merchandise he had accumulated over the length of this scam. You can't believe that this only occured one time and he just happened to get caught. I figure that unless it is right before the championship game most infractions will be overlooked outside of your direct state and anywhere your rivals are. Im sure most of the country never heard about the cell phone scandal at UCF back when daunte was there and the subsequent dismantling of pretty much everyone who was involved with the football team. Personally I could care less about what goes on at every college west of the mississippi unless they play in the SEC or someone I know is affiliated with them.<BR/><BR/>When the gators win this weekend 17-13 will all of gator nation call it the greatest homecoming ever?The heroin sheikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16860402732123149415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1160152766791185602006-10-06T12:39:00.000-04:002006-10-06T12:39:00.000-04:00You'd think Dan would have learned not to declare ...You'd think Dan would have learned not to declare a series over before it is, after 2004. Oh well, whatever.<BR/><BR/>The Twins aren't dead. If Radke pulls this one out tonight, they have the pitching to pull out the final two. Not saying they will, but they can.<BR/><BR/>As for the Padres and Dodgers... I don't see it happening, but still, it most definitely can. It's not outside of the realm of very legitimate possibility, in either case, by any means.Myles!https://www.blogger.com/profile/08737765181093893033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1160150163324393862006-10-06T11:56:00.000-04:002006-10-06T11:56:00.000-04:00You know I feel better with Trachsel throwing than...You know I feel better with Trachsel throwing than I'm sure many yankee fans feel with Randy out there. Trachsel doesn't have gaudy numbers to say the least, but he usually gets the W for us.<BR/><BR/>I totally agree with you nyc-steelers fan, we need a better name than "the play" for what happened. I think I'm now officially referring to it as the "Lo Deuce." And yeah it was so nice to have the spotlight all to ourselves last night. Thank you Zamaya!!! Thank you A-Rod!<BR/><BR/>And I'm a Cowboys fan, but I'm still soo happy Clinton Portis' characters are back, its great for the league.<BR/><BR/>I'd be worried if I was a Florida fan, and not just because you are going up against a fierce LSU D with a team that can't kick. Remember all the talk of bad karma if Mack Brown reinstated our supsended defensive starters against OSU? And our guys actually passed their drug tests! But you know, actually nevermind, we could've used them that night in Austin, karma be damned.Badass Of The Yearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16006421706977226384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1160150087718625712006-10-06T11:54:00.000-04:002006-10-06T11:54:00.000-04:00Oops, the OSU-UM game will be like 2002-- as in cl...Oops, the OSU-UM game will be like 2002-- as in close.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11071405721004631626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1160149958706117822006-10-06T11:52:00.000-04:002006-10-06T11:52:00.000-04:00Not at all.

HAHA Where is he from?<BR/><BR/>The Buckeyes may have cupcakes coming up, but their September schedule was the grueling part, unlike Michigan's. Do you really think MSU will be tough for them? Penn State? Maybe? Iowa? Hmmm, that's a toss-up but I don't think they are a threat either.<BR/><BR/>I see two unbeatens playing Nov. 18th. That is going to be a GREAT game!

Are they still thinking that Jeff Bowden is a good replacement for daddy Bobby?</I><BR/><BR/>I am a huge FSU football fan. Huge.<BR/><BR/>But Dan is right - this program is slowing delving into mediocrity, much like what happened to Nebraska after their dominance in the 90s/early 00s. And I hate to say it, but it's all Jeff Bowden's fault. The guy simply needs to go.<BR/><BR/>And when Papa Bowden does retire, we all know who needs to come back: Mark Richt, the genius behind that once-potent offense.Worldwide Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02392063253787919708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1160143020716964412006-10-06T09:57:00.000-04:002006-10-06T09:57:00.000-04:00So, are strip clubs the way for NBA players to avo...So, are strip clubs the way for NBA players to avoid being hassled by groupies?<BR/><BR/>*sigh*<BR/><BR/>Funny that the next topic would be the RIM-job, now?

Is there any chance Pittsburgh shells out more public money for another arena this soon? (Actual question there, not sarcasm)<BR/><BR/>The Twins are the only one of the 0-2 teams with a realistic shot.
