DUI’s are becoming a thing that pops up ever so often. They need to really look out for one another , which I am sure they do………but it only takes 1 time for shit to hit the fan. I hope it was just a lack of poor judgment, nothing more. Mike learn from it and move on.

Yes , I am speculating it was a drinking incident………….

This is the bitch of not being able to read the Intertoobz @ work – I had a good guess in mind, come home and bring up 11W, and it says “think Doug Worthington”, and all my fun is gone.

I just hope he’s not an incipient Boone – didn’t Adams have one of these last year too? – because it’s pretty simple: If your drinking is causing you problems, then you have a drinking problem; and DUIs are HUGE problems. QEDMF.

Vico – I’ve heard 2 rumors. One is a very, very, very, very common problem among college students in general. Another was an incident similar to the Tyler Moeller issue, only with the “hater” the one getting hurt (not to the same degree).

I guess I kind of see where there was no Offensive Captain because when it comes down to it, we already have an offensive captain even if he isn’t going out for the coin toss.

He should know better after all the kids that have had trouble smoking pot and trying to play for the Buckeyes.

If the rumor is true, it’s probably somewhere in between. Use your imagination — you won’t have to use too much of it — to guess what it is.

Can you at least say whether the rumor is some regrettable-but-understandable freshman screw-up, or more of a character-flaw-revealing thing?

I’m almost glad that he’s suspended, because that means he’s not hurt. The frustration was really mounting that such a physically talented player could be outplayed by Andrew Miller. And it also means that we can hopefully have him for the remainder of the year. I’m dying to know what it’s for though.

I really don’t get this captain thing. When I think of the idea of captains, it’s to keep someone accountable on the field, someone that can lead through example, inspiration, or just some kind of leadership qualities. Spitler seems like a nice enough guy, but I just don’t see him carrying the cache to lead. Worthington and Coleman I get, they’ve been vocal, they command attention.

More than anything, it seems like a hollow title to me. Why not break the mold and grab someone from the offense? I think having strong captains is important to the betterment of the team. Pryor has been vocal about how losing close wasn’t good enough (like it was with Lil’ Animal, and the rest). I know he’s a sophomore, but more than anything that’s a great attitude to have.

Maybe this is setting up a system where the 4th captain is picked on a per-game basis?
