And two very unlucky guys....probably the first time they have done weed and they get caught.....who would have figured it. If I were a betting man, which I am , my money would be on the "not their first time" side of the bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aufan57 922 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Quote According to an Auburn Police Department incident report, Spencer and Brown were arrested at 2:53 a.m. Wednesday on the 300 block of South Donahue Drive in Auburn, which is the same block as Auburn's athletics complex. According to the report, the two were arrested in a black 2006 Hummer H3, and police found marijuana in a cellphone bag and in the vehicle.

Screwed without him Brown isn't not expendable,he's one of our best defenders even when he isn't shooting well. These days this offense isnt isn't much different from underage drinking. They are college kids after all. Poor decision that is hurting the team. Hopefully theyved learned a lesson and CBP doesn't sit them down too long. There are additional ways to punish.

FoundationEagle 637 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I'm usually a pretty strict on follow the rules guy, but this doesn't seem to bad to me. I'm many years removed from college but I remember it well. This is pretty average behavior, especially now. Sit them for a week, run them til they can't take any more, move on.

The thing is that nobody seems to learn from the misbehavior of others..... have to learn the hard way. They probably know the penalty before they do it......but go ahead anyway..

He's one of our best shooters who isn't shooting well and he's not the best slasher. That is the very definition of expendable . But yes first time should be minimal happens again though and it's all on him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes first time should be minimal happens again though and it's all on him I couldn't agree more. Everybody should receive some type of punishment the first time suspend aa game or two and run them into the ground then bring them back into the family. Second time and I am no longer a nice guy then throw the book at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

252AUfan 0 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 What I can't wrap my mind around is why Bryce and Horace would do this out in public. Anytime a cop is on patrol and sees a lone car in the lot late at night, it raises a red flag. It is common knowledge that some athletes will use drugs, but the least they could do is use some common sense so that they don't hurt the entire team. I know for a fact that the athletic dorms are not strict on drug policies (especially over Christmas break), so it is baffling to me that they would choose to partake out in the open. The APD is not on your side. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't get to play I think he will transfer I guess the question in my mind is ...how many players should make up our rotation and will he be in it. Quite a few teams play with a 7 man rotation...sometimes 8. Probably the issue is where he stacks up in the guard rotation and is he a replacement for Brown's role with the team ? And of course if the suspension is just a couple games, it might not matter too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The APD is not on your side. Period. Seems like they weren't using it in public, the reports usually say that they were approached when an officer smelled it or something if they were. I imagine they were just going to a friends house or had just bought it and were going home (as they were right down the road from the athletic complex). I could be wrong on that but that's what I'd guess. Getting caught is unfortunate but pot is normal in college. And learning you can't be out driving around with it (especially at 3am) is something these two just learned a hard and valuable lesson about. They'll pay the price for it more at practice then they will sitting out games and legal issues, im sure. No point in trying to further hamper their lives by taking an entire season away from them. If it was a felony with a gun charge, whole different story, two college kids with a misdemeanor possession charge? Damn, sounds like they were in the wrong place at the wrong time and/or doing something stupid. One game sounds like plenty imo as long as you have a long talk with them and give them some running to do that'll give them a while to think about it.

So you're saying that they learned, if you are going to break the rules... and even the law... hide it better? Oh, and I guess they also learned that some laws/rules are important, but others aren't, as long as you hide it? I mean, seriously... is getting high so important? I would say, if it is, that there are plenty of schools in pot legal states, but the thing is... it's still against NCAA rules, even in those states. There are plenty of other recreational activities available that aren't a violation. I don't think they need to lose a whole season for this, I just can't get my head around how monumentally stupid these kids are and how much worse it is that people defend it with the classic "everyone is doing it".

AUcivE09 582 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 maybe if they had a stolen gun this would not have been such an issue..... In all seriousness these two have to be smarter. They have a little more riding on them (no pun intended) than I did while I was there. Once I knew I was about to get serious with job hunting I quit - stayed away from it - and haven't gone back. Not that I wouldn't love to again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravejd 3,270 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Based on them being with the team last night (but not dressed out) i'd say the suspensions won't be too long.
