By your own logic, we should have kicked Amobi Okoye off the team last year because he smoked weed?

Lindy you arent using my logic, your twisting my post into something stupid for what?
#1 Amobi wasnt a repeat offender like WIlliams and Spillman and he wasnt caught red handed.
#2 Amobi admitted during a pre-draft interview[ (b]AFTER[/b] his U of L career was over) to trying marijuana once while at U of L and that was the first anyone knew about it.
So how is bringing that up adding any logic to what I said?
We dont know when Amobi smoked weed, only that it was during his 4-years at Louisville.
Where are you getting iniformation that it happened last year?
Your attempt at telling me what my logic means to you and what is factual are far off.
There wasnt even a rumor that Amobi smoked pot let alone any evidence that he was a habitual user while Petrino was his coach.
So how does that point add anything to this thread?
As far as what Kragthorpe was forced to deal with, there was a very public incident with Willie WIlliams (who didnt have a strike to give while at Louisville) and some other details of that incident that werent public
wether you knew about it or not, several U of L players were in the car when it was stopped, one who ran.

Well in my post I never said what anyone deserved, what I did say was Kragthorpe was forced to deal with.
I will say it now.
Yes someone in the football program (Williams) who smokes weed then gets caught with that illegal substance has to face some penalty, I cant even believe your are defending that.
Spillman already had a marijuana case pending and couldnt afford a 2nd strike.
When a high profile football player gets caught eating marijuana and a guy bolts from the car running a 4.4 40 away from the scene, yes the coach is forced to deal with that issue.
Kragthorpe dealt with that issue effectively but unfortunately it hurt the offense at a time when Allen was hurt and Spencer was hurt, he was forced to suspend Spillman and Strippling,
(see above incident )
