Badger suspended for road games
Wisconsin sophomore tailback Lance Smith has been suspended for the Badgers' five regular-season road games this season, UW officials announced. The action, according to UW officials, is the result of a non-academic misconduct case pending against Smith for a July incident. Smith was suspended from the team on July 18 for violating the athletic department's student athlete discipline policy. The 19-year-old sophomore faces charges of battery and disorderly conduct for his alleged actions during a fight with his girlfriend.

It sounds like when I was a kid and I was grounded and only allowed to play in my own yard.

That's a shame - he hasn't plead or been found guilty. Of course, this is purely selfish reasoning - he looked AWESOME on Saturday. They could use him when they go into Happy Valley. Probably won't need him in Columbus.
But good move keeping him out Vegas this weekend - he might be tempted to steal some girl's shoes.

I agree, strange that it is only the road games. There must be more to the story.

Bielema said it was to keep him focused on academics - which may or may not be harder to do staying in Madison on those weekends.
-Also, this is a school suspension, not NCAA. I think 5 games is pretty stiff for a guy who has only been charged (and yet to be found guilty) w/ a misdemeanor. I think Biels will run a much tighter ship than Alvarez, especially once Barry stops his meddling.
It sounds like he just went a little too far when he was fighting with his crazy B GF about cab fare, or directions, or postmodern art.
Also, did i mention this guy's vision and cutback ability? The perfect compliment for PJ. Hope the Fiesta Bowl isn't considered a Road Game.
keep your hands off the ladies, lance.

Hum, only a misdemeanor for a strong football player to beat up a women.. What is wrong with this??????Takes a big man to hit a women!!!!!Maybe Lance should have used his vision and cutback ability to dart away from his girlfriend before he smacked her. I also would like to hear the whole story..Also why isn't the NCAA involved yet!!

not even the most sensational account says he beat her up. Only reactionary message-board types perpetuate that stuff. The way the MJS reported on it earlier in the summer is that the girl fell down after a fight about money - that's it. It was also in public, with conflicting reports whether or not she was pushed.
I agree that no guy should ever act physically violent towards a lady, to any degree.
Personally, however, I did once date a loony tune who took a swing at me a couple times + I had to grab + restrain her to make her calm down (from a 10 to a 9). I let that relationship last about an extra 2 mos b/c I was scared she'd castrate me in my sleep if I ended it.
Anyway, that's neither here nor there. Do i think i'd like to grab a beer w/ the Lance Smith, or the Duke LaCrosse team? probably not. But the Duke story does say something for not rushing to judgment before all the facts are in.

Smith was a GREAT change of pace for the Badgers last week and they need him to be with that team. I hope someone else steps up and gives them the speed they need. The defense needs to get a little better. Go Badgers tonight at 9pm CST!!!!! I
