fire_dawg, this is another case of young folks not understanding (maybe). I admire Coach Miles for stepping up. We all hate to lose good football players, but it is not the \"football player\" that matters (read on) . . . it is the \"PROGRAM\" that has to be taken into account. That is not to say that the young men should be shoved overboard, not the case at all. At some point in all of our lives, we have (baseball term) to step up to the plate. Some of these young men have never been held accountable, but when these young folks reach a certain age . . . they have to accept accountability. Talent is such a awful thing to be wasted. Just takes me back to a lot of folks with pasts that were not loaded with money and advantages. Example . . . Warrick Dunn. Go Dawgs!
