Thomas Gordon Suspended
August 31st, 2013 at 1:08 PM ^
That's probably why he isn't captain... Should see more Dymonte

Dymonte, step right up. Trial by fire.

Never heard that term used before to describe a player suspension. It's not like Thomas Gordon is a glass bottle or container....
or IS he?

Thomas? Is that you?

Well... at least it's an opportunity to develop the younger guys. Better that this happens for CMU than ND.
August 31st, 2013 at 1:13 PM ^
So is this just gamesmanship, or did Gordon just miss curfew last night or some such related thing?

Don't shoot the messenger... From someone who knows the players, I heard it involved a DUI. That could mean many things, but I trust this source.
August 31st, 2013 at 1:13 PM ^
The staff REALLY kept this under wraps.
August 31st, 2013 at 1:16 PM ^
It is welcome week, Thomas might've just done something stupid in the last 48 hours
August 31st, 2013 at 1:18 PM ^
It sounds like he just missed curfew. Which blows a bit, but I'd much rather crack down on that than be LSU or Sparty.
August 31st, 2013 at 1:31 PM ^
I rather feel this way too. I like that the "team culture" encompasses even these details and that everyone is held to "high standards", as Hoke says. You never like to hear these things when it is someone who represented the team at Media Days and is one of the most experienced players out there though.
I wonder of this means Wilson and Furman will be back there at safety for some or all of the game now.
August 31st, 2013 at 1:32 PM ^
It doesnt sound like that at all.... for I don't think missing curfew "would break Hoke's heart"..... yet again, it was only a one game suspension.
August 31st, 2013 at 1:35 PM ^
It's an easy and stupid thing not to do. Be on time. When one of your guys does this (assuming that's what this was), of course your coach is going to be pissed. Especially if his reasons for missing it were iffy.
This is all conjecture, of course, but you expect a guy like Thomas Gordon to get something like that right. So, yes, I can expect Hoke to be disappointed, and to use his disappointment as a motivation.
August 31st, 2013 at 1:13 PM ^
Welp, better against CMU than probably any other team other than Akron.
Definitely disappointing to have a senior / leader of the defense do something like that right before kickoff

We will watch him dominate the field this afternoon!!!
GO BLUE
August 31st, 2013 at 1:15 PM ^
kids being kids, i'm sure whatever Thomas did he understands that he let his teammates down, and didn't hold himself accountable to those who have worn the winged helmet.

Johnny Manziel: 1/2 game

I think that this is awesome. It shows Hoke cares more about teaching life lessons than playing a meaningless game. I've become more impressed with him as time has gone on. He's a great man.
August 31st, 2013 at 2:20 PM ^
August 31st, 2013 at 2:37 PM ^
If you fed him grapes then who would fan him?
August 31st, 2013 at 1:15 PM ^
I know people make mistakes. But you are in a critical position and the team needs you!

Spending a little too much time at Hagerup's house I see.
August 31st, 2013 at 1:27 PM ^
^ game. set. match.
August 31st, 2013 at 1:44 PM ^
Jeez, quit piling on the kid. This is a lame joke. He's suffering the consequences of his actions. Get a life.
August 31st, 2013 at 1:55 PM ^
Not spending enough time at Hagerup's house I see.
August 31st, 2013 at 2:02 PM ^
laughed aloud at that one (LAATO)
