Callaway's status still unclear
Just read this and I think it's funny that McElwain was "non-committal when pressed at SEC Media Days."
I'm sure that "In other words, it's possible Callaway might undergo enough internal punishment that McElwain thinks better of any missed game-time, though that remains to be seen."
I'm sure that slap on the wrist hurt.

Did he get cited for more than just marijuana possession? I can't see that being an offense that warrants missing any game time.
For the second time. The article does say that McElwain has twice suspended players for the same violaiton.
Were the other two suspensions for the 1st game of the year or were they during the season?
It generally gets the player a one-game suspension, though in the SEC, that game can be pushed to your Week 2 opponent if you have a big game in Week 1.
I thought I had read recently that the NCAA or another institution was looking into how Florida handled the sexual assault allegations against Callaway. If that is true, then Florida may feel the need to dole out some real punishment to cover their ass.
I believe the traditional SEC rule on things like misdemeanor possession is that you are allowed to choose any one of the three or four games you play against Presbyterian to miss, or you can spread the 60 minutes of regulation play across those games if that fits better with your personal schedule.
allowed to miss all of the defensive series if you want to get your 60 minutes of "suspension."
By itself I agree, but if i remember correctly Callaway had other team/law infractions prior to this incident.
EDIT: Yep, McElwain even came out and said if there were further issues there would be "consequences"

...unless your name is Mitch McGary.
We'll win with or without him.
I honestly don't see much wrong with him playing. We've had players suspended a single game for a DUI, and pot possession is less serious than that.
Pot possession is legal in some states.
The Federal law isn't generally enforced (on its own) in states that have 'legalized' or decriminalized marijuana. The Feds said as much ten years ago.
Federalism, bitch. Get some.
makes me sad for him.
But I think most people see the DUI as worse, because, as the poster above says, you endanger others.
Everyone is saying that. 324 misdemeanors for pot possession is better than 1 DUI.
Driving drunk kills people. Pot not so much.
Were they involved in a sexual assault case that is being investigated for a cover up?.
Can anybody provide a quick guide (or point to one), please? The posts on the MGoBoard FAQ are 404.
I backed into posting images, and hopefully can again. But videos and GIFs have defeated me, so far.
Thanks!!
You have to copy the URL where the GIF lives on the interwebs and paste it in the URL field that appears after clicking the "image" icon.
It may not have worked because it was not a GIF. Plausible? Let me look around for a GIF.
Yes, seems to work with GIFs
are the only ones I've found success sharing. It's pretty simple. Click on "share" under the video, then click on "embed," copy that text and paste it in the comment field using the plain text editor. As an example, here's JJ Fad's Supersonic video. I was reminded of this song while watching the Defiant Ones on HBO last night. The finale is on tonight, where Eminem and Dr. Dre meet up. Is anybody else watching that docu-drama? I've enjoyed parts 1-3 so far.

Biggest thing for video is to remember to switch to plain text editor first.
For pictures and gifs it's easist just to right-click and copy&paste(I think you have to use ctrl+v to paste in the comment box). If you use Chrome, you'll have to right click on the pic and set the resolution you want for size. If you use firefox, there will be boxes in the corner, and you can just drag it to whatever size you want.
I've bookmarked that now.
Doesn't matter if he plays or not. He doesn't have a QB who can throw to him. Gary or Hurst will have Zaire's ass on the ground long before he can any kind of reliable throw off.
The Shark Humper said that he believes his OL will be a strength of the team this year. I LMAO... Apparently, they have a lot of returning players along the line who are now upperclassmen. Sort of like our line last year. I still LMAO...
Wasn't Calloway the same player involved in sex harrassment (or assault) charges in which the school assigned an arbitrator that was an alumni and big donor to the athletic dept? In any case, that player was let off scott free, so the accuser, her family, and attorney, filed a civil case against the school (or something like that). I'm pretty sure that was Calloway...
My bad... They didn't file a civil suit, they filed a complaint with the US Dept of Education Civil Rights office, so now the school is under a Title IX investigation for the way it handled the sexual assualt claim. The arbitrator the school chose is a member of the UF sports hall of fame and an athletic booster.
In any case, I'd say the Title IX investigation would have more to do with any suspension talk than the Mary Jane issues...
Sexual assault cover up and drug charges. That's a good look Florida.
This comment is incredibly confusing. A freshman who hasn't played a down of college ball would be a bigger loss than an All-SEC receiver?
Also, no, we are not currently scheduled to play Florida again.
Is anyone else still waiting on HTTV? I am getting anxious as a mother
Don't you have the PDF version? That's been out for a month, or more, now!!
I lost my tablet during my move and dont care to get a new one right away. Not going to put myself thru trying to read it on my phone. Laptop ya I could but I prefer reading HTTV on my throne.
Or ever before.
This is the biggest detractor of scheduling a "real" game week one.
They don't have an elite player, good for us.
If they have an elite player get a slap on the wrist and play against us, then they won't have any excuses when they lose to us.
"That's something that's NCAA and a lot of that stuff."
uhhhhh.....
