the just released schedules were a flat-out statement that the B10 doesn't believe SOS will matter in playoff selection

I don't consider it "holier than thou"
It's more disappointment at the failure to use common sense.
It's not uncommon for people age 17 to 23 to be easily influenced and to demonstrate really poor judgement.
But at 18 we're all considered legal adults. We can vote people into positions of power, fight and die in a foreign wars, inherit stuff from dead people, etc.. But somehow we can't drink alcohol at 18, so there's that (mainly due to the judgement issue).
Public transport in the US comparatively sucks (trains, street cars, bus transport, taxis) are just not as good as in places like Europe, etc.
So Stonum can't get from point A to B. His driver's license is revoked and he's on special probation terms from prior violations. What's the guy supposed to do?
a.) Take a risk, drive the car to the appointment anyway
b.) Get ready an hour earlier and call a taxi
c.) Get ready an hour earlier, call a different friend or contact to give him a ride.
d.) Get ready an hour earlier, take a bus ride
e.) Stay at home and try to reschedule the appointment.
Selecting A. has a good probability of serious consequences.
Selecting just about ever other option above has consequences too, but none as severe as A.
Not doing A is common sense.

Hoke has to cut ties
Hoke has to cut ties
As much positive press has come from UM since Hoke arrived, keeping Stonum on the team is a step back from the momentum that has UM steamrolling toward a B1G Championship in 2012. Good luck to you Mr. Stonum. I hope you can get your life back together.

If Michael Floyd got a Zero game suspension for his offenses .... then .....

Floyd didn't have 2 DUIs and
Floyd didn't have 2 DUIs and
Floyd didn't have 2 DUIs and multiple violations of probation including driving under a suspended license, TWICE. Nice try though. Floyd straightened out and has been trouble free ever since. Stonum, not so much.

Floyd ...
Floyd ...
Had 2 minor consumption charges and one DUI in a 2 year span and got ZERO games. I wouldn't be surprised if Stonum gets like a 4 game suspension. I really don't think he's getting tossed.

Clearly Floyd turned it

Clearly Floyd turned it around, Stonum did not.

probably free's up another

probably free's up another scholarship Michigan roster.. not that we can get another guy because of the 28 limit. May be Hoke goes after Arnett a little bit?

IMO..the cop that waited for
IMO..the cop that waited for
IMO..the cop that waited for Stonum to come back out of His probation officers office is an asshole cop. Again thats my opinion but look the other way ..dang the kid was trying to do the right thing by checking in. He just possibly changed Stonums life for a little press in the newspaper.
It takes a big man to admit when he's wrong...and I am that big man.-Micheal Scott

He was called by Stonum's probation officer, who suspected that Stonum had lied to him and driven to the meeting, on a suspended license which was taken away due to Stonum's two previous vehicle/alcohol related arrests. It's not about the cop.
As a matter of fact I like beer.

This is not a great

This is not a great advertisement for Michigan. I have trouble seeing a future for Stonum on the field, but getting a degree is still possible.

I totally support the judge's decision. But why put a student in jail now, thereby costing him the first 10 days of a school semester? He should have sentenced him to overlap with his spring vacation or somesuch.

Isn't this how society - not just Michigan football - works? Those who fail to follow the rules, whatever they may be, get ostracized by the rest, especially those who endanger the group as a whole (in this case, we need him as a receiver next year, and we need him to show self-discipline and character as a Michigan Man). It's just human nature.
