Coach Dan Hawkins said Monday his University of Colorado football team must learn to rise above the types of incidents that resulted in two players being arrested and suspended from spring practice. Hawkins said he has had "a couple of meetings" with his team in the wake of the weekend arrests of freshman linebacker Lynn Katoa and sophomore tight end Riar Geer. Both were involved in alleged assaults, with Katoa's incident occurring last month and Geer's late Friday night. Katoa and Geer were absent from spring drills, which started Monday, continue today and Thursday, then resume after spring break April 1. Katoa and Geer will remain suspended until their legal issues are resolved.

Well, you think that these young people would have learned about breaking the law and doing stupid things from their parents? There are no excuses. When do people learn? They see pro football players getting jammed up and it does not register. It is all about being something to someone that needs certain things in order to perceive themselves as being "winners"....? Is the lacrosse team innocent of their behaviors? No. They are just as guilty as whomever they perceive as being corrupt. Everything is relevant to the situation. Some people are just somewhat stupid and ignorant of what is right and wrong. That includes school administrators.

Times do change...Anybody remember how the best college coach ever (the King; Barry Switzer) was run out of town for the actions of the players? The King said then, and I agreed then, and now the rest of the country apparently agrees....The coach can't babysit 18-22 yr-old young men. The bad apple players must be held responsible for their own actions.
