Oboy said:You know, the one thing being missed here... Coker having the cojones to actually suspend some players for a BIG game. We all know that Bowden would not have done that. Unless the game was some tiny game. It was a few years ago that he had one of his start LB's play in the UM game and then "serve the suspension" the NEXT game. What a joke.
Anyway, I am really impressed Coker is sticking to his guns. Especially with all the fire he is under and the hot seat he is on...
About the game, None of the players missing are the whole team, so I don't think they will be the difference. IF UM is to win, their Oline needs to play great. IF they do and Wright does not look "wrong" (as quoted above) then UM should win the game.
But that is TWO BIG 'IFs'. Which is why I am really looking forward to watching the game. Besides, I love watching the two teams beat up each other!

Must not have been starters then. BC He is on record as saying "There are other ways to discipline players". However, those players are almost ALWAYS the starters or real contributors to FSU. So don't give me that. I'll have to go look it up, but it was only a few years ago he did not suspend one of his starting LB's for the UM game, instead playing him and then choosing to suspend him for the next game (which was a game FSU could have played their walk-ons and still won.)Nappy Roots said:LMAO, you dont pay much attention to FSU then do you?
We suspended 3 or 4 different players the last 2 games of the season last year. Which were the ACC championship and the Orange Bowl.....almost though

Obviously you are misguided. Your team had already lost 3 games and thus was not in contention for the National Championship.Nappy Roots said:our starting Gaurd, our starting KR, our starting OLB, and our WR that got playing time at KR/PR/WR. In the last few years we've suspended big time players for bowl games...Chris Rix(sugar bowl), Darnell Dockett(sugar bowl), Snoop Minnis(national championship), Pete Warrick(national championship)....so dont give me that
Already hobbled by the offseason losses of starters QB Wyatt Sexton (Lyme Disease), CB Antonio Cromartie (ACL), and DL Clifton Dickson (academics), Florida State football coach Bobby Bowden has announced that starting linebackers Ernie Sims and A.J. Nicholson will both be in the lineup for the Sept. 5 season opener against Miami, despite their summer brushes with the law.
Bowden told reporters that he would handle the punishments for the misdemeanor charges internally, likely to be running the stadium steps for hours on end as I predicted.
"There's more ways to discipline than a dadgone suspension," he said. "Y'all have heard of physical pain, haven't you? That's our method. We physically are going to get 'em if they break our rules. Now to say that we don't discipline just because I don't suspend them - just so I can be like everybody else - I'm not interested in being like everybody else."
As an FSU grad, I'm really disappointed with Bowden's decision. Bobby's always been a "in the room" kind of guy, opting to discipline players internally rather than sit them out, but some of these incidents merit a suspension. Nicholson got a DUI in the spring & resisted arrest in the summer.
To tell the fans/media that he's earned two hours on the stair-stepper is a crock. At some point, win at all costs leaves you bankrupt.
If the noles already had their three losses we wouldn't even be having this disscusion,ask Adrian Mcpherson about that one. "We stick together as a family" Bobby says. Unless the season is a wash then it's c-ya boys.

NorthFloridaFin said:Kind of like Antrel Rolle a couple years ago, who was arrested in the offseason, but Coker still chose to play him in the 1st game, huh!!
We've had 2 WR's (Fred Rouse & Kenny O'Neal) kicked off the team this offseason for breaking team rules. Not just suspended, KICKED OFF, so lay off the 'Noles and don't be looking for excuses ahead of time.
