Wow, what a concept....discipline..... Yeah, but USC is playing a cupcake that day. So? Isn't Bama playing Western Kentucky first? Couldn't Saban have come out and put the hammer down and had them all sit for that game? He's already said there weren't going to be suspensions. That was my point. The point would have been the same if Bama, or USC were lining up against Bumblescrew U. Point stands.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aumd03 2 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Western Carolina. I would be worried about an upset if they suspended players against WK. The Hilltoppers aren't bad. And they have a cool amorphous mascot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUloggerhead 2,252 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 From the link: ... The suspension is the latest setback for the Gamecocks' starting quarterback. Mitchell was arrested a year ago and charged with simple assault after a nightclub bouncer told police that Mitchell punched him. The charge was later dropped, but Mitchell sat out for several weeks as Syvelle Newton ran the South Carolina offense. ... So, even though the charges were dropped ... Mitchell was still suspended for last year's incident. If improving the team discipline was one of the motivations for throwing Shulla under the bus & changing coaches, then it's too bad the bammies couldn't up the ante high enough to get Spurrier. If, on the other hand, improving team discipline wasn't a priority ... ... then the $aban pickup looks like a good move(!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's what I was talking about -- Mitchell was suspended last year before the season started too even though his charges were dropped. It's a textbook example of how a coach should discipline his team. The starting QB is suspended now for the 2nd straight year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnChopper1 0 Posted August 24, 2007 Author Share Posted August 24, 2007 There are examples all over the place..... Bama's a joke in the discipline department. You can't defend it. It's useless. P E R I O D ! ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously you missed hearing Sabear telling the media that he even went so far as to suspend a player at LSU who was acquitted of charges. That's real faux discipline if you ask me.
