Spartans Suspensions

MSU has suspended 12 of their players and kicked 2 off the team all together. Most recently, a red-shirted freshman was suspended indefinitely today after charges were brought against him following a November 22 public urination incident. Myles White has been charged with public urination and possession of alcohol by a minor, what Michigan-ders fondly refer to as an "MIP."

Not surprisingly, I did not escape college without getting an MIP under my belt. These citations are so common in fact that there is a standard plea state-wide which allowed those charged to participate in an alcohol awareness class and have the first charge of MIP dismissed.

Frankly, I don't understand why they bothered to suspend the kid. He is a red-shirted freshman isn't the alcohol awareness class punishment enough? Let's face it, Jimmy Clausen gets away with picking fights in South Bend (to the extent that he's erroneously considered a victim) but a drunk kid can't pee in a bush! We have all peed in a bush at some point and most of us did it after consuming alcohol. I often wonder how cops aren't too conflicted to write a ticket for something they themselves have likely done countless times.

I say, keep pissing Spartans! Keep pissing off your fans. Keep pissing your season away.
