He was kicked out of the Nebraska game. Per NCAA rules, he is suspended for Texas A&M as well.

only until halftime.

Well, if we get Arob and AA back we'll still in better shape than today.

LJ didn't miss the next game last year. Did they change something?

**tigershoops31** · 10-24-2009, 02:26 PM

Did anybody else think it was a little harsh that he was kicked out? He got thrown to the ground by his facemask and jumped up and hit the guy in the facemask back...obviously a stupid decision but I don't know about ejecting him...

NDSU's #1 RB in the FCS PAT PASCHALL got suspended 1 game for throwing a punch last week.

however our AD said "if Pat was ejected during the game, at least we would've had him back at halftime the next day"

soooooo Im assuming you're boy will be back in after halftime next week.

NOT TRUE!!!!!!

DOnt you usually need 2 offenses to get kicked out? Like LJ last year against UNLV?

I dont think the ref seen the first part of that.
Harsh indeed.

What the hell did he do? That punch (if that's what it was for) didn't look that bad.

I think just doing the swinging motion like you are punching is enough, unfortunately.

That's what it was apparently. And I agree with you.

Agreed. He deserved the penalty, but the ejection was over the top. Then again, the refs here have been reviewing *everything* remotely friendly to ISU, so is it any surprise?

ISU has 7 turnovers, and every review has been A: warranted, and B: gone ISU's way. Hard to say that the refs are trying to job ISU - if that's what you're saying.

I wouldnt necessarily say trying to job ISU... but being extra careful they dont make a bad call against nebraska. And i wouldnt say they all have been warranted... even the nu homer announcers said something like 'classic waste of time here'
