Anthony Brown, What happened?

[Virgil]

I have not heard. 

[The_Iceman]

He is in the same position as Edwards.

[ckhawgu]

Coach trying to get them to act like responsible young men and understand that "playing for Arkansas is a privilege, not a right."

[Vantage 8 dude]

As with Edwards the final outcome of the young man's Arkansas career is yet to be determined. Apparently the ball is definitely in his court when it comes to whether or not he conforms with various requirements of the coaching staff. I truly hope they BOTH wake up to the opportunity they have before it's too late.

[Virgil]

Well hopefully he gets his head on his shoulders and can stay on the team.. I think he had lots of potential.

If HS coaches and Parents would discipline by taking a way things the kids value  when they mess up then College Coaches would not be having near
this problem.   Not near enough effective discipline going on with the Junior high and senior high kids.  Especially boys.

great point.  Seems like a few of the south Florida guys are having trouble adjusting to coach BB rules.  this will be good for them in the long run and i hope they can stay Hogs.

I don't envy any teacher or coach who has students/players they need to discipline. Parents have made it almost impossible for kids to be disciplined effectively by schools.

Peter Porker knows but he can't tell you.......

I agree with you.  A lot of times kids who need discipline the most  and don't adjust to outside discipline by authority because they don't have a structured discipline home life.  Parents do not set a good example and many times are having the same trouble with discipline themselves.  I wish we could take those kids from the home while they are young and put them in a more structured environment.

it's a tough situation for many people.  Some do well, others don't.  A lot of it has to do with people having kids who really should not until they have a stable home life.  But that's another discussion. 

[Birminghog]

Sometimes it is the coaches. I'll never forget back in 1982 when the star running back where I was teaching got busted for weed. The coach got him out of jail on Friday so he could play the game Friday night.

[Polecat]

I recall last year whenever the defense made big plays – for example, Philon's TD – he was one of the more boisterous players to run over to celebrate with his teammates on the sidelines. Seems like being a Hog is important to him. Hopefully whatever the issue is, he cares enough to straighten it out and maybe he can get back on the team

It's really going to help home life taking kids away from their parents. What are you some kind of marxist? Home life or lack there of is a lot of the problem.

[RAZORHOGG15]

I was told that he got caught egging a dorm and that is why he got suspended.  Kids stuff but just a little mischief, nothing to go over board about.  I am sure we all did dumb things when we were in our teens.  I know i did.

[BatesvilleHOG]

You can take the boys outta South Florida, but can't always take South Florida out of the boys..

[Nosboar Accubond]

We've all been there is some way or another - being young and making dumb decisions. The important part is if he takes coaching and learns from it... WPS

[JaketheSnake]

IMO, blame goes all the way around and back to the parents.  HS coaches have to win just like college coaches or they will be looking for a new job.  Just like in college, you might earn the respect from a few fans by disciplining star athletes, but more will blame the bad season on the coach if something like that happens. Tough decisions.  WE FANS are the ones that make it hard to discipline properly at every level.

And the NCAA for their cave man rules

NCAA rules have nothing to do with making dumb off the field decisions whether it's egging a house, smoking pot, going out to bars and getting hammered, taking advantage of a co-ed or whatever other things many student athletes get themselves into because they make poor decisions.

If so that's ridiculous.  Hell I'm 41 and would still go egging if I wasn't in a wheelchair.  lol

Except that he could face criminal charges for it.  But I highly doubt that is the only reason, since we recently had a DWI and he wasn't removed from the team.

I didn't just mean the disadvantaged kids with parents who aren't involved. I would include the kids whose parents give them every advantage in the world except discipline - the kids that make folks cringe because "Little Johnny" can never, ever do anything wrong.

Big game on Friday nite, no time for such foolishness by the po-po.
