Griz vs. App

[grizzaholic]

We are talking bets if he makes it back to his hotel after the game on Saturday night. Popular bets have been asleep on a bench, sleeping on random hotel lobby couch, passing out in random hotel room after party.

Is this the friend of yours who ended up in the hospital after griz/cat one year?

HAHAHA. No. He will be downtown Missoula on Saturday.

Jamill Lott and Sean Price are back!

Free safety Jamill Lott and wide receiver Sean Price of Appalachian State, who were suspended for last Saturday's opener against East Carolina for a violation of team rules, will be eligible to play Saturday against Montana, coach Jerry Moore said Thursday.

How convenient.
I guess discipline doesn't matter if you might lose.


In all seriousness, good. No excuses if we beat you.

They served their suspension and have been reinstated. We were supposed to have a chance last week to knock off an FBS, but they were suspended for that one and may have contributed. What's the problem?

Really? Does an FBS game count as two now?

Nothing.

I'm really just yanking your chain. Our coaches in the past have been guilty of similar (debatably worse) things.

It just seems a little weird to say "They're suspended for the first two games" and then right before the second game, he comes out and lifts it. Had it been done right after the ECU game instead of Thursday, I could see it, but doing it like this kind of defeats the point of the suspension, IMO, and I'd be a little miffed if the Griz pulled the same thing.

But like I said on eGriz, it's really not a horrible thing. The timing made me a bit surprised is all. Seems lots of ASU fans agree.

Also, you'd think you wouldn't want any suspensions during the conference season. If you guys lose with them this week, and then lose the game they sit out for, it's going to seem like a horrible decision. Hopefully that doesn't happen. (The you guys losing after us part. I definitely want you to lose tomorrow. )

I didn't realize it was supposed to be a two game suspension. I stand corrected. That's very un-Jerry like.

Free safety Jamill Lott and wide receiver Sean Price of Appalachian State, who were suspended for last Saturday's opener against East Carolina for a violation of team rules, will be eligible to play Saturday against Montana, coach Jerry Moore said Thursday.

Moore originally said that the two would be suspended against Montana as well, but then said they will serve the second game of the suspension either Sept. 15 against The Citadel or Sept. 22 against Chattanooga.

Moore didn't disclose the nature of the violation.

"Our policy for the specific rule that these two players broke specified that the player misses two of the first four games of the season, with the games chosen at my discretion," Moore said in a statement Thursday. "We made them sit out of the season opener, which I felt was the right thing to do to send a strong message, and I fully intended to have them sit out this week as well.

"But, after giving it more thought, I felt that they learned a lot from having to miss the season opener and made the call to allow them to participate in the home opener…."

Lott is a junior who started three games last season as a fifth defensive back. Price is a redshirt freshman.

As much as 99% of Griz fans (including myself) would like to point fingers and cry foul on this one, we really can't. As has been said, Griz coaches have done similar things in the past. Although, it would appear Delaney is taking a harder line (evidenced by the fact that Jordan Canada isn't making the trip as punishment for being late to the SD pre-game meetings and then skipping out on his punishment for that....or so the rumor goes).

Still, any way we could get those rape charges against JJ dismissed for just this one day? Kidding, of course. McKinney did just fine against SoDak, tomorrow we'll really see what he can (or can't) do. Looking forward to a good game!

It's hard to comment on discipline and whether or not a one game punishment was severe enough for their infractions if you don't know what the infractions were.

[GrizFanStuckInUtah]

I couldn't care less what they do. The bottom line is, their suspensions were all in-house stuff and they are free to handle it how they want. It isn't like they ran afoul of the law, it was team rules and I think they can do what the team wants with them. A total non-issue as far as I am concerned.

True, but you have to admit it appears on the surface that he's kind of playing a little fast and loose with the rules. Granted, they're team rules but I'm not sure lessons get learned as well when you choose to sit guys in what you believe to
be the best opportunities. Jerry hasn't done this in the past to my knowledge.

I'm glad to have the guys back obviously, but I can't help but feel Jerry tarnished his integrity a bit.

I think Steven Wright sums it up pretty well.

I went down the street to the 24-hour grocery.
When I got there, the guy was locking the front door.
I said, 'Hey, the sign says you're open 24 hours.'
He said, 'Yes, but not in a row.'

A glance at egriz makes me want to say "he who is without sin cast the first stone".

It'll be a hell of a game, warts and all. Good luck, but not GREAT luck.

[Aho Old Guy]

Don't do as we do . . .

I'm of the opinion that the inmates should run the asylum in cases such as these, led by the Seniors. If the policy was *truly* any 2 of the first 4 games, I would tend to to get it over with and move on ... but I don't think the inmates look at it that way.

The inmates are caught up in the game just like the fans. It's a big deal to them, too. Players want to put on their best show in big games like this. Coaches don't really see it 100% that way (Example: CM has always stressed winning the SoCon). Remember: It's still the second week of September and we all have a lot of season left.

With the players making the call, they also take ownership. They are the Cops on the beat. It's is their responsibility to seriously impact the thinking of the offendee(s), encourage them to take advantage of the special opportunity provided to them, let them know the seriousness of the violation to the team, and how they let the team down. Coaches may simply serve as advisers to insure consistency.

No doubt, with Middleton out for the season we needed a another warm-bodied DB (not so much against El Cid next week). I'm also glad you guys will get a chance to see Sean Price -- he is likely to be a royal pain to our opponents for the next 4 years if he keeps his head on straight.

And ... as you guys have noted - not knowing the infraction(s) makes it an even tougher call.

Zip it, Gil. We don't need any of that trash around here.

Egriz is a different animal....similar to CS and AGS.
