Fixed the embed, I think, although if it still doesn't appear correctly, there are some quirks with embeds and this interface. - LSA

Good. Don't expect it to make much difference Saturday, but - McGary. I know that was NCAA and not the B1G, but still.
November 25th, 2014 at 9:05 PM ^
That's the right call.
November 25th, 2014 at 9:06 PM ^
Hot take: I feel pure ecstasy that OSU is down one really strong player

Careful, you can get suspended for feeling like that.

There is something so funny about your avatar picture. I laugh every time I see it, it's like a cartoon drawing of dissatisfaction.

For some reason, these take forever and a day to appear correctly in Chrome (the browser I use), so I don't know if there is a known issue or it is something else. As for embedding in the OP, tweets usually work fine in the comments, but sometimes they don't seem to always work in the original post. I wonder if it is a Drupal thing or the version they are using on the site.
November 25th, 2014 at 9:22 PM ^
Now I know for future posts. Would've never figured that out. Appreciated.
November 25th, 2014 at 9:18 PM ^
Whoever has been slipping ecstacy in his drink should be ineligible too.
November 26th, 2014 at 9:29 AM ^
Yes. All of them for every time this happened to him.
Poor guy getting drugs slipped to him multiple times like that!
I just can't IMAGINE that happening to anyone. /s
November 25th, 2014 at 9:14 PM ^
to punch someone between now and Saturday, and we're set!
November 25th, 2014 at 9:17 PM ^
I wish there was a like button, because that comment is too funny!
November 25th, 2014 at 9:25 PM ^
might have to go 45
November 25th, 2014 at 9:41 PM ^
but you have to get to 100 MGoPoints to use it.
November 25th, 2014 at 9:42 PM ^
You'll get there someday ...
November 25th, 2014 at 10:04 PM ^
making sure to peak at the right time.
November 25th, 2014 at 9:49 PM ^
Just 3-4 more years...
November 26th, 2014 at 6:48 AM ^
If that were the case then maybe Michigan would only be 14 point underdogs.
November 25th, 2014 at 9:23 PM ^
Yay! Now we should win.
November 25th, 2014 at 9:25 PM ^
Yes, I wish he was eligible. I'm not going to go down the rabbit hole of drug laws/rules. I will say it was the rule, the rule was clear and it was broken multiple times. I wonder if he will transfer and if anyone will take a chance on him, outside the B1G, of course.
November 25th, 2014 at 9:27 PM ^
I'm surely in the extreme minority here, but it's ridiculous that testing positive for recreational drugs gets a player suspended from football. I understand performance enhancing drugs being banned, but if someone can do drugs and still fulfill his obligations and play at a high level, what's the threat?!?
November 25th, 2014 at 9:34 PM ^
Maybe because it's still illegal? But that's just me.
November 25th, 2014 at 9:37 PM ^
Maybe. I mean, if he could fulfill his obligations but still steal from people, who cares? AmIright?
November 25th, 2014 at 9:44 PM ^
Great, so if they get caught with drugs suspend them.
November 25th, 2014 at 9:53 PM ^
He did get caught. If you steal something and you weren't caught in the act, you still stole it. Drugs are illegal. I don't see the issue with understanding that.

I think his point is people steal, get caught and are not suspended. To furthur explain his point, there is some hypocracy there. There are also other instances of physical voilence that some would consider "worse" than taking drugs. This would even furthur illustrate his point about the hyprocracy in the rules. Not to hard to understand unless you're an obtuse ass hat.
November 26th, 2014 at 12:10 PM ^
It is illegal, it is against the rules. Like I said I don't want to get into the debate about whether or not drugs that are currently illegal should be legalized. It is considered illegal and therefore there is a rule against it. And while I was saddened one of our players broke that rule and was punished, much like I felt bad for McGary, I had no issue with the punishment.. I take the approach Gandhi did in hating the sin and loving the sinner.
I don't take joy in punishing either of my sons, but they have to learn that actions have consequences. The rules may be unfair, but you have to work to change them, you can't just break them because you think they are wrong and not expect a consequence.
I'm sorry if I was not clear.

Heard the Urbz was real sad when he heard this and he may need to leave coaching and spend more time with his family...AGAIN!
November 25th, 2014 at 9:31 PM ^
I bet Noah's mother name is Su???
And he was in SuSpence for at least 9 months.
November 25th, 2014 at 9:35 PM ^
East German humor.
November 25th, 2014 at 9:33 PM ^
So I guess Urbz will now have to DiSpence for the rest of the year.
November 25th, 2014 at 9:39 PM ^
Wrong thread...I'm looking for Molly.
November 25th, 2014 at 9:42 PM ^

Apparently he's learnt British English in the last few months

It's dumb that he is barred from the B1G for taking a drug that provides no performance benefit. But the outright lie by his family that it was slipped to him which got his original year long suspension knocked down to 3 games kind of forced the B1G's hand in this one. And in the future if a player does get slipped something there's no way he gets any leniency. Kid is an idiot for still taking drugs while on suspension for drugs and he's especially an idiot for getting caught as an athlete.
November 25th, 2014 at 10:08 PM ^
It's not dumb. It's great. Drugs are stupid and so are people who do them, especially after getting caught.
November 26th, 2014 at 1:16 AM ^
So everyone who drinks is stupid too, right?
November 26th, 2014 at 7:28 AM ^
Straw man.
November 26th, 2014 at 1:41 PM ^
It is not a straw man. Alcohol is a drug.
November 26th, 2014 at 8:45 AM ^
This is a great forum to start that debate.
November 26th, 2014 at 9:44 AM ^
I'm not sure, but I think he was being mildly sarcastic.
November 25th, 2014 at 10:13 PM ^
This guy was never going to play against UM anyway. He hadn't practiced for 3 months. Best case was he would be available for their bowl game.
November 25th, 2014 at 10:22 PM ^
I'm pretty sure he was still practicing.
November 26th, 2014 at 10:30 AM ^
Nope. After the second positive test, he wasn't allowed to practice or work out with the team. He could use the weight room on his own, but that was it. No position drills, no team activities.
November 25th, 2014 at 10:23 PM ^
His family tried to play the victim card twice, then he went around telling everyone he was going to win his appeal and play Saturday. It doesn't sound like they learned anything from the situation.
November 26th, 2014 at 5:01 AM ^
In your post is true. Try again.
November 26th, 2014 at 8:55 AM ^
His family claimed he didn't intentionally take drugs the first time, then they tried to play it off like he was a helpless addict.
The article from yesterday about him playing directly quoted him.
So what about my post isn't true?
November 26th, 2014 at 9:46 AM ^
you realize you replied to an OSU fan, right?
November 25th, 2014 at 10:35 PM ^
WE GOT EM NOW!
