I just find it hilarious that everyone is buying into a damn plant as the cause for the first sub-.500 season in a decade of Louisville football. I also find it hilarious that Petrino somehow managed a combination of ignoring the problem, covering up the problem, making sure his players were smart enough to not go out and do it in public, and providing the weed, all while making his team model citizens and WINNERS during nearly his entire tenure.
We heard about players getting caught shooting BB guns at civilians (and being punished), but somehow he managed to keep all this terrible weed under the rug?
I'd say it's more likely that Petrino either had enough respect to demand that his players didn't pull this stupidity or - like a lot of other Americans - realized that weed wasn't the end of the world as long as the players were responsible about using it (just like folks can be responsible or irresponsible with alochol). He probably also had enough respect to ask them not to use it during the season...
Why, with this new coaching staff, is weed such an issue? Was it just discovered? Did all these upper-classmen just decide in the last 10 months to turn into pot heads? Or is something else at issue?
I'm just rambling here... stunned, I guess, that anyone really believes that disciplinary issues with marijuana were the cause of a 5-6 record.
