Wangmene suspended?

[hammer009]

Did I see that correctly? Anyone know why?

 

[Third Coast]

Violating unspecified team rules. Making too many of his free throws?

 

[GabeRocksSocks]

Wangmene got a dwi the sunday after the NU loss. That's why he's suspended.

Glad Barnes actually sits guys for stuff like that.

 

[Joe2005]

At least our team total for travel calls will improve.

Do we know how long he will be suspended? I still think he should have played more minutes against Nebraska.

 

[GabeRocksSocks]

indefinite suspension means no definite amount of time set, by definition.

 

[Branyon]

One would think with the team ranked in the top 5, gunning for a #1 seed and with the best shot at an NC in school history, the players would be focused. Kids will be kids, but this was a major dumbass move. Barnes' players have not been much of a problem in this regard, but I surmise he will be hardcase about it.

Bad choices are opportunities to learn lessons. Like most people, i have made quite a few in my life and I'm still making them and still learning.

The drinking age in Cameroon is like 7. Don't we have a lawyer who can use trickery for diplomatic immunity or something??

 

[Booyakasha!]

Didnt see DWI coming from him.

 

[Bigtex112]

DWI is a very serious offense. I am grateful that he didn't harm himself or anyone else first of all. Secondly, I hope that his indefinite suspension is a long one: rest of the regular season comes to mind. I would hope that a 2nd offense of DWI for any student athlete at Texas would come with immediate termination from the athletic program. This stuff has to stop. You want to drink and you are of age? Fine. Just call a damn cabwhen you want to go home.

 

[GabeRocksSocks]

So if Augie ever gets another DWI you want the university to fire him?

Now don't get me wrong, I'm in no way condoning drinking and driving. I've lost friends and family to drunk drivers. I find people who drink and drive to be terrible people. But I fail to see what character has to do with athletic performance.

Wangmene will probably be back by Big 12 tournament time? Augie gets another one he should be fired, I agree with that also.

 

[Booyakasha!]

Augie's was a buch of ******** IIRC - a few glasses of wine and then forgot to turn on his lights on a busy well lit street. But, I wasnt there so who knows. Theres a difference if you are blitzed behind the wheel though.

Hey Tapps, also according to the law all kind of **** is still sold to us that is no good like High fructose corn syrup, cigarettes and beef and chicken full of steroids and fed ground up body parts/corn and antibiotics -alot of time LAWS are the product of heavy lobbying from special interests like Monsanto and MADD. Whats up now?
