He got caught smoking pot. Same thing Manningham sat a game for a couple years ago. I don't think it is a huge deal, but this is the first time I like the way Kiffin has handled something.

Violation of Team Rules
 
 
A common phrase used by many NCAA Football and basketball coaches that almost always means "smoking marijuana". Since the NCAA doesn't regulate controlled substance use for fear of losing half their great athletes, they allow the individual schools to regulate how much marijuana their athletes smoke. If an individual athlete smokes so much weed that he/she is dumb enough to get caught red-handed smoking or selling, that athlete is suspended for a game in his/her respected sport (Unless Lane Kiffin is the coach in which case it is a mere half game).

Can we finally agree that all things Dillon Baxter ARE OT?!?

Yes, he had insterest in UM...but so do a lot of other elite prospects. He does not play for UM so news about his suspension should be considered OT.

Boom!

Over and decided.

On Tuesday morning, while teammates practiced, Baxter and freshman receiver Markeith Ambles ran, rolled on the turf and did calisthenics.
 

Baxter:  Ambles, wassup dude?  Wanna blaze?

Ambles:  Hell yeeah dawg!

Baxter:  I'll distract Kiffykins by doing some jumping jacks.  You twist us up a fat one.

Ambles:  Awwww yueah!

"This is a very, very severe punishment, but it was imperative to make a strong message, especially to our first group of freshmen our first year here, and potentially the most talented player on the team, that we have high standards for our players on and off the field," Kiffin said.

"Very, very?"  Wow, two superlatives, this must be serious.

I guess if not playing in a game is a very, very severe punishment, then being suspended would be a very, very, very severe punishment, and being kicked off the team would be a very, very, very, very severe punishment.  Although, maybe "very, very' is as high as Kiffin ever goes.

Hilarious!!
