rbwareagle34 0 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Wow, that is a surprise. Glad for him though! Depth is always good! Thanks for the post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guerra aguila 0 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 lets hope this young man gets his stuff together and learns to be a civilized member of society. We dont need anymore distractions. Im glad hes back, but I hope he has learned his lesson. we can certainly use him on the depth chart, he would be a big advantage in the 4th quarter to wear defense down, and then turn mccalebb loose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgentOrange 36 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Coach Chizik said that Smith has "done what we've asked him to do. We're going to move on.'' That's good enough for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guerra aguila 0 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I hope so, Chizik seems like a fair guy, if he says hes earned it, then so be it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentOrange 36 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I don't take Chizik as one to take this kind of stuff lightly, so that's why I feel good about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guerra aguila 0 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 he will be very good in the second half, we will need him in the first as well, but hes a powerful back, so second half would be fun to let him pound on defenses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
righty1975 0 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 If Miss. State can suspend Dixon 1 week against a Division 1AA team for DUI, I can live with this decision by Chizik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guerra aguila 0 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I see what you mean, I guess we will do what chizik suggested, lets put it behind us and move forward. glad hes back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackson-Sullivan 0 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I can guarantee you that with Chizik's no nonsence approach to the way he handles his team that the kid would not be back yet if he hadn't paid a price and learned his lesson.

We all think that CGC's punishment was pretty severe, so Eric making it back so quickly shows me that he is really dedicated to this team, staff, and players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
augolf1716 21,434 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Great news, the staff did a great job of keeping this in the AU Family. Very little was heard after the first week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guerra aguila 0 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I trust chizik, and I know that he is doing the right thing if hes allowing this kid to come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
