None of the updates on Pig have been very encouraging so far but I really hope he makes it back. After the UGA game last year I can't help root for Pig.

Per TFP in Chatt; thought some of you might like to know where things are right now. It appears just reading between the lines that it is an academic issue, not "weed" which has been suggested by some here and seems to be the first assumption anytime a player is in the doghouse.

I appreciate your opinion, but do you really think CBJ would come out and say Pig needs to pass his drug tests? If you really think it is about grades, then that is your prerogative. In my opinion, it was not about grades. Sorry.

Butch also said that he would factor in how the team leadership felt about Pig coming back. Good move.

Usually athletes can stay eligible if they go to class and put in a little effort. You have to be pretty lame to flunk out, especially giving the tutoring help athletes get.

Black people don't use glass.

Everyone knows that.

Bongs also come in plastic and ceramic. For the discerning rastaman. Everyone should know that as well.:cool:

I find it odd that Jones would say he'd have to check with the team's leaders. For a grades issue? If a player gets back on track academically, I can't imagine any coach then asking other players for their opinion on whether he should return. For other issues, sure--but grades? What are the team leaders going to say: Gee, he promised us a 2.8 gpa and he came in at 2.5--sorry, Pig! A bit strange.

That is what I stated in a prior email. You have to tread lightly on VN when you bring up issues like that. I was told it was a team decision and it didn't involve grades.

You know how it is on VN, man. Some folks just have to believe the worst first before they can even think of anything else. Often, they're the holier than thou type.

Not really. He could have plagiarized or stole academic material from a teammate. Or done so and accused a teammate instead. Or ran his mouth off at a coach, teacher, or tutor. We got osme guys who saw Da'rick verbally abuse staff and so know what they don't want on their team.

But those of you who absolutely must believe the worst, here's what really happened.

CBJ caught Pig in the locker room packaging a dirty bomb device manufactured in and shipped from China.
Jones hit the roof. Not because Pig would have broken USPS laws regarding shippable items. Not because he was putting the team at risk for radiation poisoning. Not because he was addressing the device to USU before we played them. Not because he had made arrangements for AG4FR to pick it up and hand deliver it to Merlin Olsen field during an Aggies practice or a team S&C session. Jones was upset because Pig had ordered a dayum Chinese device when he could have gotten a perfectly good American made neutron bomb.
So now, Pig has to attend "Be American, Buy American" (made in Japan) classes. If he fails this course, he will be shipped off to Yemen or Qatar and traded to Al Qeda for a blueprint of their future attack plan and a package of frozen yellowfin tuna. That's what this is really all about.

Bottom line IMHO:
Pig has made several mistakes in his stay at UT. Whether it be pot or grades or both, it lies in the hands of his coach and teammates. I don't know how many 2nd, 3rd or how many chances he has been given, but I hope Pig admits his wrongs and RECOMMITS to himself and his teammates to give his all to his school both academically and athletically. If he does that, I think he will flourish in his years at UT and most importantly in life after football. GBO!
