Pot played role in UConn suspensions?

Posted: Tuesday January 29, 2008 10:14AM ET

UConn police found a small amount of marijuana at the scene Thursday night when UConn basketball players Doug Wiggins and Jerome Dyson were issued other citations. "Marijuana was involved," UConn Police Maj. Ronald Blicher said. "They were not charged, but a small amount of marijuana was found at the scene. ... I wouldn't go so far as to say it was abandoned, but upon officers checking with the occupants of the vehicle, marijuana was found in the vicinity of the car."

That's unusual. Marijuana was found around college kids? You hardly ever see that.

How fast were you boys going? 65. 63. Officer the speed limit says 65. Yeah, so?

Im surprised Calhoun did anything to these kids. After the Marcus Williams and A.J. Price stealing laptops from campus dorms and selling them at local pawn shops incident, I figured Ol' Jim would pat them on the back for a job well done up in Storrs. Can anyone blame them? We are talking about Storrs, CT here.

MARINsur4, what is wrong with Storrs?? It's a small town in Connecticut. Did someone from Storrs hurt your feelings once of something??

A SURE sign they had NOT been smoking. If they had smoked, they would have been doing 11 mph.

Not 11mph, localboy. I've always done over 15 with help from Miss Mary.

let me get this strait. You can snort cocaine and drive hammered in Conn. and become a two term president, but you cannot have a little " reefer " and play basketball??? That does not compute..
