Yes heaven forbid one of the team captains gets to address the team...

that is quite a suspension from the game I do not care if he is a Capt.

Obviously the team and the coaches have much more respect for JT. I'll trust their judgement on his character and place on the team.

 

[Dryden]

Have other suspended players been allowed to watch their suspended game from the press box with a (presumably) coach's headset?

Jameis dressed and warmed up on the field before the Clemson game last year while he was suspended.

True, but among other differences between OSU's program and FSU's, Meyer's first name isn't "Jimbo."

That's not really the point. By this logic, he could have come out and played in the second half and you'd have been fine with it.

Please don't put words in my mouth, as I never said that. He is still part of the team, suspended or not and it is the coaches call.

I clearly didn't say that you said that.

Did you ever read the official press release from the University?

Ohio State University student-athlete J.T. Barrett was cited by Columbus police Saturday morning at a campus area check point with a misdemeanor offense of OVI. Barrett has been suspended by head coach Urban Meyer from playing in Ohio State's game against Minnesota on Nov. 7.

Nowhere did it say he was suspended from the locker room, press box, stadium, University campus or State of Ohio.

Really, you said I would be fine with it...if that is not inferring that I would say that then I don't know what is. I did say it was the coaches decision and I stand by that. If you have a problem with it then by all means feel free to give Urban a call. Better yet give Gene a call since the University doled out the punishment based on its policy.

 

[Yertle]

I for one would like to welcome back our overlord JT Barrett

Kent Brockman references are needed more often in my life.

It would be implying, not inferring.

 

[kujirakira]

Who cares?

Any bets on how Jeremy Fowler is spending his Sunday evening?

I said using that logic, you'd be fine with it. Calm yourself.

Your logic not mine. Stifle yourself.

1. I would say that a suspension should mean a suspension from the stadium on gameday. He shouldn't have been a part of the team at all on Saturday.
2. But I really don't care that much. If being suspended from playing, but still being permitted in the stadium isn't enough to straighten him, I doubt that keeping him out of the stadium completely would teach him the lesson.
