OT- Brown Kicked Off Florida
The highly touted DT from last year, Gary Brown, was kicked off Florida's football team after being accused of striking two women at a party. From the article "Florida coach Urban Meyer made it clear in the past that he does not tolerate violence against women." Now I'm no Urban Meyer fan, but I have to say, bravo. Domestic violence, especially women, should not be tolerated at all regardless of who you are.

that some engineers up at MSU wished Dantonio felt the same way about violence against nerds.
February 20th, 2010 at 11:30 AM ^
Zero-tolerance has yet to find its way to East Lansing.
February 20th, 2010 at 12:11 PM ^
I would love for someone like Drew Sharp to ask Dantonio at his next press conference if, in light of the Florida dismissal, he has any second thoughts about the way he handled the potluck attackers. (Not that he'd get a straight answer or anything, but Dantonio deserves to sweat a little about this.)
February 20th, 2010 at 11:32 AM ^
I'm surprised Urban didn't just suspend him for a half, though. Glad to see he was kicked off the team. Take note, Dantonio, you walking double-standard.

that every 12 seconds a woman is hit in this country, what they don't show is that every 8 seconds there is a man telling that woman that she has exactly 4 seconds to get out of his face.
/inappropriate
February 20th, 2010 at 12:22 PM ^
Wouldn't it still be every 12 seconds, but staggered so that it's always 4 seconds before the slap occurs?
February 20th, 2010 at 1:09 PM ^
That would be true if none of the women took good advantage of the 4 seconds and left. Assuming that one third of the women left, there would more threats than assaults, and therefore they would occur more frequently than every 12 seconds. (I don't believe the poster meant it this way, so I agree with your criticism... I'm just sayin.)
February 20th, 2010 at 11:56 AM ^
that he has like 3 5* recruits to replace him
February 20th, 2010 at 12:22 PM ^
must be nice.
February 20th, 2010 at 4:25 PM ^
Even more important they were 2 over the 85 cap, and practice reports were that brown was bust.
So basically, coach has to nuke 2, player sucks, and he gives the program a black eye, oh, and a woman too. Yeah hard choice on this one.
February 20th, 2010 at 7:15 PM ^
Touché "umjgheitma;" I think that's more the reason Brown was kicked off the team as opposed to allegedly hitting the two women. This is just another opportunity for Meyer to come off as whole hearted wholesome person to next year’s recruits and their parents. Meyer just oozes ulterior motives.
February 20th, 2010 at 12:01 PM ^
They're both better battered.
February 20th, 2010 at 12:13 PM ^
Serious question.
February 20th, 2010 at 12:32 PM ^
The fact that I had nearly 3000 points for posting mindless gifs and terrible jokes was a little disconcerting. Thus, I've increased the wisecracks that are in poor taste.
I wouldn't want people confusing me for someone with any semblance of credibility.
February 20th, 2010 at 12:32 PM ^
People can tell if you're credible. I'm sure no one would take my opinion on actual football matters seriously.
February 20th, 2010 at 1:03 PM ^
The fact that we have more points than TomVH pretty much spells out the pointlessness of the whole system after a certain level. It's a great system to weed out trolls, but there isn't a linear relationship between points and value of contribution.
February 20th, 2010 at 1:45 PM ^
Why are we so against inappropriate jokes all of a sudden?
February 20th, 2010 at 1:51 PM ^
And people feel better about themselves when they make one of those soapboxy comments about how we should be above making inappropriate jokes at certain times. You know, because we're Michigan.
February 20th, 2010 at 2:03 PM ^
Won't find them here.
February 20th, 2010 at 3:15 PM ^
Women: They also need men about as much as a fish needs a bicycle.
February 20th, 2010 at 4:48 PM ^
they put computers in kitchens now?
February 20th, 2010 at 4:52 PM ^
Well played. +1
But for the record, I am at work, which is not in a kitchen.
February 20th, 2010 at 5:12 PM ^
so your in the laundry room? wifi really is an amazing technology.
February 20th, 2010 at 6:24 PM ^
Dick. Stop assuming. She could be cleaning the bathroom. Or cleaning someone else's house.
February 20th, 2010 at 12:46 PM ^
I'm glad Urban Meyer is against domestic abuse. I wonder how he feels about armed robbery? I'd applaud him except I don't get applauded for doing the OBVIOUS right thing.
February 20th, 2010 at 12:49 PM ^
A Sparty joke has already been posted.
February 20th, 2010 at 1:55 PM ^
disturbing.
February 20th, 2010 at 2:05 PM ^
lol the jersey shore is such a crazy show
February 20th, 2010 at 5:05 PM ^
My favorite part of that gif is still the guy in the middle who gets grazed on that punch.
February 20th, 2010 at 7:18 PM ^
The underrated parts of this clip are the kid in the middle who gets grazed, the look on the puncher's face, and how Snooki has her hand in the area but never senses the punch is coming and makes no effort to block. I've seen a few too many episodes of Forensic Files so it occurs to me that they would say she suffered no defensive wounds.
February 20th, 2010 at 2:49 PM ^
While I'm no Urban Meyer fan at all, this was a great move on his part. That is just flat out unacceptable.
February 20th, 2010 at 3:11 PM ^
Isn't Urban Meyer on his "leave of absence"?
February 20th, 2010 at 4:06 PM ^
Why is anyone giving Meyer credit? Like he was noble to kick a woman-beater off of a football team? It's common sense.
February 20th, 2010 at 7:15 PM ^
But hardly common practice
