Jalen Tabor, Treon Harris suspended for Tennessee

[MJMGator]

"THEY'RE NOT SUSPENSIONS" That's pretty clear. Assuming the twitter dude is quoting Mac directly. I'm not a legal expert but it sounds clear to me regardless of what comes after the comma. We will find out for sure in a few days (or hours) but if they turn out to be suspensions then Mac got some 'splainin' to do.

He's just playing with words. He's saying they made a choice to do something they shouldn't, therefore they made a choice not to be able to play this week. They are suspensions for failed tests according to everyone else.

Give Harris props. Atleast he tried.

Post of the day.

Tabor should get a pass because he's good

Shut up Jimbo.

 

[MJMGator]

Thanks. I think you're right and I'm wrong. That's the dude who is at the U, right?

Yeah...his name escapes me.

This is probably a blessing in disguise. This whole "competition" has dragged on too long and now we know who the starter is for the rest of the year. Treon has officially smoked himself out of the starting spot.

Did anybody hear that Tabor and Harris got suspended?

Yeah, read about it over on GSMB.

Zach is just on point.

Uh...

You've got to be effing kidding me...

if he thinks the UFAA sucks so bad, he can go play for another one.

:bye:

I agree completely that it's disappointing they can't put it aside despite knowing it could impact themselves and their teammates. But it doesn't make me want to see them made example of or tossed from the team just to play somewhere else. Thug behavior like hitting a woman, robbery, even DUI and I'm all for zero tolerance, you're gone. But I just can't get that riled up over college students smoking a J. Maybe we should stop testing for it. We don't test academic scholarship recipients.

We don't yank football scholarships for making C's either. Different situations, different rules. The wouldn't be at UF if not for football. Academic recipients could get in regardless. If you ever get to talk to a National Merit Scholar, you'll see how heavily recruited they are, it'll surprise you.

Not to mention the wasted money for their scholarships that could have gone to someone that actually wants an education.

If smoking weed meant a student didn't want or couldn't get an education, our graduation classes would be about the same size of Rollins College's. Put the pitchforks away folks. All we know is one player failed his drug-test and it's being reported another refused his. He seems to contend that how it's being reported isn't accurate, so he made an angry tweet which he later removed. Since I've followed UF Football we've had players smoking weed, and college kids do stupid crap on social media.

Seriously, you guys need to get over your indignant selves. Mac says he's not angry and is ready to welcome them back. I'm sure glad he's the one in charge.

Not sure how smoking pot makes him a thug. But if he did tweet that, he needs to be suspended for a few weeks.

I'd agree. The reality is a large majority of these kids smoke. Some of our best teams have had these issues with some of our best players. Unfortunately, part of the deal. Neither kid should be sent packing, but both should be given fair warning that they are now on thin ice moving forward. As I said, I think this bodes worse for TH than Tabor because of the leadership element of the QB position. You just can't keep making these types of decisions and showing this type of attitude.

He also retweeted a comment about should have gone to Maryland. Idiot

 

[gardnerwebbgator]

Be a man, step up and take the test and fail it. Or are their other drugs you don't want NFL scouts to know about?

Door.....ass.

I'm telling ya, if I was a HC, I would ban all forms of social media. Nothing good comes from our youth being able to send out their every thought/action with no hesitation. Nothing.

These damn weed suspensions are getting ridiculous for something that should probably be legal. I guess you have to blame the players some for not being slick enough to beat the testing system knowing they are going to be tested but its crazy. I bet 80% of these players smoke at some point during the year. The amount is probably almost as high as players drinking under 21.

I agree with this overall, but they know the rules and went around them. the rest of the student body gets punished for drug violations, so should these guys, especially considering the massive amount of infrastructure and support the university dedicates to their athletic and academic success. Mac has to apply some sort of punishment.

and if Tabor is now whining he should have gone to Maryland, well, go.

Mac should inform him that he still can.
