Fred needs to take a page out of Self's book and handle the matter internally. Case closed. This doesn't need to be a public thing.
It was probably a joke. 4:20..get it?
On a side note, I really hope Pollard is keeping out of this. This should be 100% on Fred.
I'd like to hear Fred say, "I will weigh the facts over the next couple of days and decide what to do once I have them all". The suspend him for Southern, Drake, and Mississippi Valley State once he has all the facts.
I'm sure big grown up Trice is going to solve this problem by typing on a keyboard.Are you 13? Because you sound like you're 13. Maybe leave this to the grownups.
Thanks for that. Do I care that he smokes weed, plays video games, and listens to loud music? No, I dont care. The point, if you can actually think logically, is that he is a high (haha) profile player, who is on a top 15 ranked team, and is on a very short leash. Look, I think weed should be legalized, and I smoke from time to time to, but the bottom line is he committed a crime. Granted its not serious, and imo, a bit ridiculous, but its still a crime. he has to be smarter about the situations he puts himself in.
You call the crime ridiculous and still said you think he should be kicked off the team.Thanks for that. Do I care that he smokes weed, plays video games, and listens to loud music? No, I dont care.

Fred isn't suspending him for 3 games, no way, not with a noise complaint charge a simple misdemeanor. What's wrong with u people? ISU has a policy that takes away the pressure of a coach having to decide these things, some schools leave it up to the coach(eh hum Iowa). It's actually good that ISU has this policy. ISU doesn't suspend u for a simple misdemeanor. Just sayin. Now, certainly Fred can do what he wants outside of any ISU punishment or a lacktherof as it's his program, but my guess is Fred will say he is following University policy no matter the decision.
I was listening to the Murph and Andy show (with the fill in hosts) and had to turn it off.
So many holier than though jerk offs who insist that weed is evil and that he should be booted from the team.
Cripes it's almost 2015 and you're acting like Red Foreman.
The chains seem a bit excessive...

I believe in people being held accountable for their actions, their choices, but I am far from "an authoritarian nut job." I trust that Fred will make the right call here - whether that's a suspension or no suspension.
