It's a lot easier to catch bad actors when you're on the road. You've got all the players in one building and the coaches are walking the halls. It's a cat & mouse game. Sometimes you knock on a random door and one of the guys isn't there... sometimes a guy answers the door with alcohol on his breath... sometimes you walk by a room and smell a skunk. Sometimes smart coaches, keep walking depending on who's behind what door...

I mean its different for the bowl game. Most away games they get there like a day before so they don't have any nights without major commitments the next day. They're also not in a team's home town where they would probably get called out easier if people see them out.

So assuming it is a curfew thing or something similar (I have no knowledge of what it actually was), I think he was dumb for getting caught especially when the coaches are probably cracking down because of Stepherson and Holmes stuff, but I don't think its any type of indicator of past or future problems with him.

What sucks is that these suspensions, arrests, etc will be all that the announcers will be talking about during the pregame. I can't believe the level of stupidity!

What a bunch of jackals. That makes 4 guys now and counting. Are we leading the bowl season with dismissals? There should be a trophy for that, Fulmer Cup becomes Kelly Cup?

Three of the four were not suspended for things that happened on the bowl game trip, but back home on campus. I'd write those episodes up to too much down time (and blatant stupidity in Stepherson's case). Stepherson and CJ did their thing after exams were done, didn't they? What else you gonna do on a cold Friday in December but go to the UP Mall for some fresh sweatpants?

The bowl trip itself, like with Deon here, is kind of party season. Stuff happens. Remember when Tillery and, IIRC, Redfield got sent home from the Fiesta Bowl a couple of years ago. And didn't George Atkinson get busted for looking at his phone at a dinner or something a few years back? I wouldn't make too much of it.
Of course, what happens on the bowl trip is rarely the first offense, if I had to guess.

Whomever is screening these guys for admission to ND needs too get another job ...

4 is worse than any renegade program ...

Right. Hire the person who can ensure that an 18-22 year old will never make a mistake.

(And btw, in case some people need to be reminded, every infraction is not of equal weight. Some are more serious than others. It’s good that ND holds its players accountable, whereas in some other programs the consequence would be more like a suggestion.)

...meh. The ND cops and the surrounding jurisdictions aren't fan boys...neither is the faculty. In addition it is VERY clear the University disciplinary process is in the lead on most cases. As such many things other programs deal with internal to the team...not so much at ND.

As for the coaching staff...they have some discretion on curfew etc. If BK is sending a message...sucks for DM to have to be "THAT GUY".

But ND kids aren't worse than other programs...you need to be around one to get an idea of the shit that goes on...

Go volunteer at Ohio State, then tell me ND is worse.

Drunk? Or just trolling?

Regardless your post is BS!

Two guys broke the law with misdemeanors and you chose to make this post in the profile of the guy who might, might have committed the heinous crime of OMG! ... curfew violation.

Mack failed to fulfill a commitment.

And you want to equate them and ND to programs with something like punching out a girl friend and the school hides it.


I regret I could only neg rep your dumb post once.


Find another team.

I am glad we have a program that holds people accountable. If we didn’t have any discipline issues out of 80 or so young men, then I would be worried.

I have no idea what happened, but maybe the poon was too good to make it back by two. I had to throw in the homophone reference. I needed to meet my community service quota for December.

It's a shame these young man can't see the big picture and do what they are supposed to and play in a big game. I hope he has fun watching the game on tv.

Clemson sent three players home due to failed drug tests.
Georgia sent home a starting LB, Natrez Patrick, due to a second failed drug test, which violated his proobation. Patrick has chosen to enter a drug treatment program than serving time.
