even if they are found innocent, THEY HAVE TO BE GONE.

If you read the information, it makes you puke.

any thoughts on how this will affect our game with the goofs? Loosing a starting corner will not be good for them.

daniels was a returning rusher, and this WILL HURT them, but for us we just need to dink and dunk the ball with the passing game to beat them and control the line of scrimmage like last year.

GO BISON!

Well, you can't complain about how Brewster handled the situation. He gained an ounce of my respect today.

Did Brewster really have any choice though? Like Lakes said; if you actually read the facts of the case, it is absolutely appalling in what took place. Had Brewster not kicked them off the team, the media scrutiny against him would have been as strong as ever. I understand people being curious how this would effect their chances against the Gophs with the players being kicked off the team, but let's not forget someone was raped here. There are no winners in situations like this.

Well spoken; our's is after all just a game. This is disgusting. At least punky did the right thing here.

I can't argue with the approach that Punky took but we still need to remember that these four men have not been convicted of any crimes (as of yet). We can assume that they are guilty but this could very well turn out to be another Duke Lacrosse situation (not that I think it's likely).

As far as the media here in the Twin Cities is concerned. Most think that dismissing the players was the right thing to do BUT I have heard many media people say that they would not have been upset if they would have continued to be suspended until further information (or a conviction) took place.

Well, actually, he did have a choice as to how he handled the situation, even if the outcome was to be the same. IMHO he handled it in a respectable fashion.

You can compare and contrast this with other schools' handling of other violations of student codes of conduct / team rules (not to mention state and federal laws) and it wouldn't take much effort to find coaches/programs/schools that handle things much much worse.

A tough call by Brewster.....but the right call.

[TheDoctor]

Definitely the right call! Lets see if Vick gets booted now aswell! Fat chance!
