8 more players suspended

Oh how fantastic, Ms. Jacobson is on top of another great story of a criminal investigation that has yet to be fully investigated. Do you sleep at the police station so that you get the latest and greatest campus gossip as soon as it comes out?

If there has been an investigation and they are legitimately found guilty, screw suspending them…kick em out. However, if it’s race related, screw it…let them have a UFC type fight with the frat boys, that would be a good one to see! But only if it was agreed on jointly.

If you’re on the team and reading this, please respect others. Do not let them make you stoop to the challengers levels. We are Spartans and we stand tall and proud of ourselves. If they made racist comments, their loss. They will face the repercussions of that when their time has come. I believe God is colorblind and doesn’t hear accents. He trusts in all of us who believe in him, be it Allah, Jesus, Yahweh, or simply put God.

Please Spartans be with each other, look out for each other. We are a member of our family first, American’s second, and Spartans. The green we bleed is what unites us. So F anyone that starts stupid drama like this, but if you’re in it, then respond like a good person and turn the other cheek!

Go Green!

Go White!

Go State!

ps Seriously Coach D, if there is legitimacy to the charges boot em off the team and/or kick em out of MSU and revoke their scholarships!

pps I believe the fraternity boys instigated this, but still no need to take it to this level…but they should get kicked out and their house should get revoked by the Panhelenic Council

Listen their are always two sides to a story and I’m tired of hearing that the alleged and now proving football players are getting into all this trouble and the one’s that started it sounds like seem like they wouldn’t hurt a fly. I’m kind of tired listening to this story for a week now only one side and the so called innocent side are all missionary’s and mother theresa’s from what from the sounds of it. It’s just making the spartan football program look bad when Mark Dantonio doesn’t comment on stupid questions right away he wants to get his facts straight first obiviously..the club owner said that people were fighting and they had to break it up and other of my friends said that one of the players was highly instigated got a drink thrown in his face then pretty much jump by the fraternity students the player was jumped. Now I don’t know if you think this frat still all innocent but they should have some reprocussions and charges as well…

Dantonio’s had a year befitting Bobby Williams or John L.: inconsistent on-field effort and execution, lack of on-field discipline and poor citizenship off-field. He’s earned some good will, but he needs to turn this around.

after 55 years as a spartan fan i’ve had enough—-same old crap—-g.p and the board will be buying out the football staff for millions just like john l and bobby

Katherine – Kate Jacobson is doing what journalists do. If this story had not been written now, based on this information, people would be complaining (again) about the failures of The State News to cover it. It is not “gossip” that those players have, in fact, been temporarily suspended from the team.

Jurer – I agree with you, but the failure to present the other side comes from…the other side, right? The victims who are free to speak are speaking, and the alleged perps are behind a wall of “no comment.”

This is just further evidence that Perles is a curse to the program.

The thug mentality continues unabated and .500 football is the norm sans steroids.

The BOT passed on Brian Kelly and now we have Same old Spartans.

All I can say is thank god we’ll be going to an insignificant bowl game that means squat nationally, otherwise this would be a lead story on ESPN for the next month.

Whoever thought having a crappy season would turn out to be a good thing.

The curse of Perles hangs over the program.

Brian Kelly was the right hire. MD is just another Perles lackey.

Not sure how race came into the picture, but people do realize the frat is an African-American frat, right?

Bingo, Johnny – black frat and black football players. The word on the street is the frat guys started the fracas at Small Planet and the football players came to Rather looking for payback. Not real bright on the part of the players, no doubt – but the frat boys are hardly innocent.

what a bunch of idiots. kick them off the team. take away their scholorships. and then recruit kids that have half a brain. i hope each one of these players relize that they ruined their life. no chance at the nfl, no college degree. have fun working part time for minimum wage back in flint, detroit, or other rotten city.

i’m disappointed to see how many redshirts, and sophomores are on the list. that doesn’t bode well for the years to come. its hard to win with inexperience.

I just hope to god this means Chris L. Rucker never takes the field in my colors ever again. Worst defensive back in the country.

I say revoke the bowl bid. The team doesn’t deserve it.

Although all the facts have not yet come to light, one thing is abundantly clear: one or two bad apples can spoil the whole bunch. One former player served his time for a violent assault on an MSU Hockey player, but, apparently, did not heal from his offense. Perhaps, other players on the football team sensed that true healing and restitution did not take place. Real strength is not measured by how much you can hurt others and yourself, but on how well you can protect yourself and others from harm and heal from deep-seated wounds. But the overarching problem here is the pervasive culture of violence that permeates the sport of football. When this culture of violence spills beyond the playing field and attracts thugs who mistake hurting andintimidating others for real strength, we have a looming problem on our collective hands.

What I want to know is where was the State News last year when ten football players pulled up to a house and beat the crap out of the hockey player and others??? You had the police report then and didnt name those guys or rip the admistration when they covered it up. I guess this time there are videos and Hollis cant cover it up. This is a repeat performance, amazingly by DIFFERENT FOOTBALL PLAYERS, except Winston who did all the damage. Seems the corruption of the team is pretty deep. Sad the good kids are caught in it but Dantonio risked them too by reinstating Winston.

Way to go Dantonio, after allowing Winston back on the team the SAME day he was released from jail—everyone knows you’re going to reinstate all the players just before your little bowl game that the team clearly does not deserve. Winston should never have been let back on the team after severely injuring and hospitalizing another Varsity athlete at the altercation with the hockey team. Winston is nothing but jail-bate (along with several other teammates apparently), let him stay where he belongs. These kids don’t deserve to be representing MSU, let alone to be doing it on scholarship. Someone needs to get control of this team.

I will be disappointed if Dantonio accepts an invitation to a bowl game this year. Neither the play on or off the field warrants MSU playing in a bowl game this year.

The fact is they couldn’t cover up this event because there is one a video, but members of the football have been acting like fools fighting people for a long time…I think this was just the last straw. Some of the school’s admin do not care about the athletics program and are fed up with some of the athletes behavior tarnishing the school reputation!

Just to verify the Football players started the ruckus at the party the night before also…They always come to events thinking a run stuff and they can do any and every thing they want. But Black Frats and Sororities have rules and regulations for conduct and don’t tolerate foolish behavior at their events.

The only bowl these guys should be in this year is the toilet bowl.

how embarrassing

Way to expose the truth SN. The Athletic Dept needs to step up since they covered it all up the first time.

Assuming more suspensions are made (which it seems like there will be according to the LSJ based on the video evidence of 5 others involved), we’re going to be playing awfully deep into our bench come bowl day.

Embarassing on many facets indeed.
