I was about to say, this is just Forde's wishful thinking. Every week he talks about his Boise bus. He frequently does things for the sake of funny, like this prediction
For anyone unfamiliar, that was the result of last year's Big 12 Championship.

I was a outside Mizzou fan when I lived in St. Louis, as I didn't get to see MSU as much. Of course if Mizzou played MSU, MSU all the way. I almost moved to Columbia, SC in '86 and checked out USC while I interviewed. Still like USC as an outsider to the SEC.
A little story about my USC tour. It was in the spring, and there where a bunch of us yankees on the tour. Our guide stopped in front of the basketball area and pointed out Williams-Brice Stadium down the street. Being from the north, someone had to ask this question, and as no one else did...
"So, would there happen to be an ice rink around here?" The girl turned around with a big smile and stated, "We all don't play hockey down here..."
This got a little chuckle, and a few pouts. No I think there is actually an independent league team playing out of the basketball arena.

Chris Rucker... out of jail and right back on the team. There goes ANY respect that I had for Dantonio and the 2010 Spartans

I will say I think Rucker should have been suspended for this game as well as the two he's already missed. I don't think anyone was expecting him to be kicked off the team. But the punishment is a bit light.

Dantonio made the right call, hes was tried by a court of law and served his time, lets be honest its not like these kids there for an education, if he was kicked off the team he would loose his $$$$ and not be able to finish school, or at least his junior year and be ready for the draft, These kids are going to be doctors

I agree - the kid served his jail time, and I guarantee there is more... a DUI means he probably has a restricted license, more probation requirements, and fines out the ass.
If any of you that are complaining got a DUI I would hope your employer fires you over it - because that's essentially what you all are asking for. It's not like he committed a felony. It was a misdemeanor.

There are quite a few people who lose their jobs because of DUI's. If you drive a company vehicle and cannot be insured because of the DUI then you lose your job. I'm sure there would be other reasons, like if you are in the drunk tank and cant show up to work. It definetly happens. and if you dont want to get a DUI, the DONT DRINK AND DRIVE.. SIMPLE AS THAT!! No way should this kid be back on the playing field. If this was a first offense, I would say he more than paid his dues with the jail time, and 2 game suspension, but this isnt the first time he has been in trouble with the law. He's a senior on the team and should be a leader, and lead by example.
I'm a wolverine fan, but I do feel bad for sparty fans seeing how this is completely overshadowing the fact that they are playing good football and are number 5 in the country. Too bad D'antonio is all about winning and could careless about his or his school's image. Good luck against Iowa tomorrow.

#1. Michigan fired Gary Moeller for getting drunk at a restaurant.
#2. When you are a part of the team, you represent the school on a national level. It's all about perception.
#3. But, I guess that's OK by you logic... it's not a felony, so it's no big deal? Your words, not mine.
#4. Let's not forget, this was his second "not a felony" in about a 1 year span. How many times do you have to embarass your school before they kick you off the team? I guess it depends on how good you are as a player?

It's no different than the NFL taking a stand on Plaxico Burress, Ben Roethlesburger, Pacman Jones, etc. You are a public representative of your employer and/or school. Ben wasn't even charged, and he faced more discipline than Rucker after TWO CONVICTIONS.

1. Regarding the DWI... it doesn't matter to me and it shouldn't matter to MSU/Dantonio what he was "convicted of" through his plea deal. EVERYBODY knows what he did this time. EVERYBODY knows what he did last time. Regardless of what his "record" says, he's a guy who donned a skimask and marauded around campus beating people up. And they gave him a second chance, so he went out and got caught drinking and driving. Arguing about whether it is DWI or Reckless is just stupid semantics.
2. Some people deserve second chances, some don't. But very few deserve third and fourth chances. Even if it meant a guaranteed trip to the SuperBowl, I wouldn't want Michael Vick as my quarterback.
