YSU vs James Madison for the National Championship

[Penguin Ice]

My recommendation for the bottle is:



Made right here in Louisville KY. I'll have an extra bottle with me $60.00 (retail price)! This is hands down the best Bourbon on the planet!!

I don't think you can buy this in VA or OH???

The death bourbon on the planet, also from KY I believe, is Basil Hayden's!

I look forward to drinking it. Thanks

Is the rumor true about 7 JMU players being suspended?

They were suspended for the NDSU game as well. Same team that beat the Bison will be playing us.

Does anyone know for sure that our 5 suspended players are not going to play for the championship game? I don't know if this has anything to do with the suspension. The academic semester is officially over the day after the EWU game. We are now technically into the next semester.
However, I thought someone on this board had suggested that the suspension would last for 6 months or half a season into next year. Is that true?

Marijuana is 6-months ...everything else (non-steroid) is one year. This is mandatory. The NCAA only recently reduced it to 6-months. I will go out to NCAA.org and find it for us.

Weird cause Ohio State surely doesn't suspend players 6 months for weed.

They sure do. happens a lot more than you think down here in Columbus.

I live in Columbus and my husband works with the team.  They don't get 6 month suspensions.  Bosa popped and missed 1 game last year.

Remember the last MBB coach at OSU; he lost over half the team and eventually his job. It was still a year back then.

Nobody remembers that lol. Thad has been there forever.

Teams do have the option to test anytime they wish. If that is the case, Then I would think the school could implement their own punishment, but it would have to include no participation for the next game. Regular season games have no random testing by the NCAA. So Bosa could pop anytime he wants, as long as OSU does not care. If Bosa pops on an NCAA test after a playoff game he is gone for 6-months.

The NCAA/schools need to have consistency.  That is why guys smoke weed all the time.  And its a good portion of every team that does it.  When I played at YSU, we only were tested twice a year, but maybe they don't care about the females.

[dirtydukes]

Is it true that you guys are only bringing 1/4th of your team as well because your Athletic Department screwed up booking plane tickets?


JK, sorry, trying to get some chatter going over here.
