Whelp, another scholly just opened up...

 

[Irishman77]

Been saying him and his bro were gone months ago. 2014 we finally see the full transformation do nd football.

 

[Domina Nostra]

GAIII broke a lot of long runs over his career. I'll miss him, just not as an every down back.

Going to the nfl?? What does that mean, like going to a playoff game? Dude can't make an NFL roster.

 

[rtrn2glory]

stupid rule....but if it's a rule whatever

 

[koonja]

Lol.

You have NO future in the NFL, and you're going to pass on the ND degree while on scholarship?

How was this guy smart enough to get into ND?

 

[NDdomer2]

i don't think it's stupid to ask for discipline

Maybe his dad has connections to get him on a practice squad.

it's a stupid rule...i'm just going to leave it at that...

 

[koonja]

I guarantee you there's more to this story than they spotted him texting one time during a meal. My guess is he's just being a bitch about it by taking it to twitter and only telling his one-sided story, looking for pity and attention.

 

[ResLife Hero]

It could also have been he was texting during a speech or while some guest was being introduced. Or it could all be bs to cover his ass. I just have a hard time believing we suspended a starting RB because he had his phone out at dinner. Then again, I don't know Kelly so it's all speculation.

 

[irishff1014]

It is stupid an ADULT can't listen.

 

[NDFANnSouthWest]

I could see suspending George for the first quarter/half...however the entire game?

 

[rtrn2glory]

i'm all for discipline, but i'm also for creating a relaxing atmosphere in situations that should be relaxing amist an already pressure pack scenario

hope there's more to it than texting during a meal, but who knows

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

I could see suspending George for the first quarter/half...however the entire game?

I agree---which is why it has to be something more than texting during dinner. You have to take into consideration player's families taking long trips to see their sons play (even if his dad is a tad looney).

 

[Irishnuke]

I guarantee he will at least get tryouts from NFL teams. You can't teach speed.

Or the innate athletic ability it takes to be able to make RB cuts. He doesn't have it.

He won't last a year IMO.

 

[NDdomer2]

is it stupid to come to a full stop on a side road with no one around? better believe it but once you got the ticket who was stupid for not taking a couple more seconds?

 

[Irish YJ]

I think a full game is a little stiff for a bowl game. That said, follow the rules.

NFL.... specialist at most.

 

[Pachuco]

Maybe he was filming a nice Christmas video for the team on his iphone...

Yes dude, you've made your hatred for GA3 very, very clear this season.

 

[koonja]

Yes dude, you've made your hatred for GA3 very, very clear this season.

I don't hate any player.


George Atkinson just isn't good.

 

[Irishbounty28]

I could see him being just as vocal about playing in New York for bowl season as his father. Maybe it wasn't just the texting but a combination of attitude before the bowl. JMO

 

[Bobias]

Bad example. There wouldn't be a cop there to give you a ticket if there was no one around. So obviously there was someone there, and thus, are obstructing traffic for another driver. It's really not a stupid rule, but we all get your point of the frivolous nature of certain rules and how they don't always make sense. Either way, there is a lot more to this than GAIII's obviously one sided story so we will just have to wait and see.

 

[EuropeanDomer]

If this means more playing time for Greg Bryant, please go.

 

[ulukinatme]

If he's serious about going to the NFL, good luck. We'll be alright at RB next season, and one less pair of hands to shift in to carry the ball. It actually solves a problem in our backfield.
