The Other Taylor Brown Thread Is Too Long... So here's a new start

I thought I would change the discussion from who did what and who said what to just how this will impact basketball.

Speaking purely from a basketball fan who wants his team to WIN every game, I am just wondering to myself what his discipline will be? If it is a suspension where he sits out game(s), BU could lose him in games that could turn out to be huge by the end of the season. Notably, the BYU game. How many times over the recent years have we lost an impact (or potential impact) player when playing a big game against a BCS type opponent either through injury or actions like Mr. Brown? I don't have numbers in front of me, but it just seems like quite a lot; and when we do play these teams we seem to always do it short-handed.

So, what's the purpose of this thread. Heck, I don't know... But I will tell you that Mr. Brown will be in my doghouse for a long time if he costs BU wins. The season is already up in the air with WE's knee and AW's foot. We don't need this other kind of _____.
 
If he sits for DePaul or possibly DePaul & Lewis then he will have served 2 games MORE than all the penalties combined that the two DUI's at ISU served, PLUS the two DUI's and the several underage drinking arrests at SIU plus the arrest there for destroying property at the Carbondale police office.

But - having said that, I will leave it to the staff who have done quite fine to this point without my help.
 
I'm just hoping this isn't anymore than what was already stated, a fight between two guys, one of whom was a tool, but should not have escalated into a fist fight. There were other ways to handle this guy, like, hmmmm, maybe ignoring him! Now there's a risk he may not be available for BYU, which is a HUGE game for us this year.

Not good!
 
This appears to be nothing more than a non-basketball related fight :o . I would be surprised and disappointed if TB was suspended for any thing more than what tornado has suggested. I think some form of community service would be much more constructive on many counts.

I agree entirely. I would hope he does not miss the BYU game. Are there any NCAA penalties (may have already been discussed... sorry)?

No NCAA penalties. This is a non basketball issue and it is the individual universities that handle these situations. Let's not jump into him losing any games. Why should he lose even one guys? There are other ways for him to contemplate what he did but none of us know what really happened and I for one am not condemning him for any real harsh punishment. I'd imagine a early curfew along with a few more laps after practice with community service would be appropriate for the conduct. You would have thought he was arrested for DUI or some other horrible incident.

Right on SFP!! Totally agree!
 
Coach Les has already said this matter will be handled internally, and that TB will be disciplined. I am certain this means extra workouts when NCAA rules allow, and TB will not miss any games.

I predict TB will be one of Bradley's top 4 scorers this season, and will be our top rebounder.
 
I doubt TB misses any games(and I don't think he should either) unless something else comes up regarding this incident....and I doubt anything will

Why always bring up other school's problems. We have enough of our own.

Why shouldnt he bring up the other schools, their indisgressions and how those schools handled the penalties for issues their basketball players were involved in? Sure BU has had issues but I find it interesting to see the various issues ISU, SIU etc have had and how they handle discipline.

And if Torando didnt bring up the issues it is likely no one ever would bring the issues to light.

Guess I don't care about their problems. Again, we have enough of our own.
 
I find it amusing that anyone would think that Taylor would be suspended for any exb. or scrimmage game let alone a regular season game, this is a matter where guys will be guys and it happens all the time, he does need to control himself as he represents BU but lets not make such a big deal out of such a minor incident.
 
our kids do get disciplined even if other schools never do...
funny how so much criticism comes from the fans of schools who have even more lawbreakers that never get penalized.
 
Had this happened during the season, I could see a one game suspension. Considering we're still months away, I'd be very surprised if his punishment (whatever it is) isn't over long before the season begins.

I don't have a problem if T or for that matter anyone else bringing up issues of other schools and how they handed out discipline to their players. But in no way should /what these schools did, be a outline or be guidelines to how BU handles its players. I'm sure Jim Les would NEVER use this approach in handing out discipline to one of his players.
When growing up, when us 5 kids did something wrong (and there was plenty of times) mom NEVER called around the neighborhood to ask the other moms what they did to discipline Johnie or Susie or how they would handle us! She had her own way of bringing the heat on us and she could of give a F__K about how they were handled or not! We were family just as BU is and any troubles was handled in our house by the head of it our (MOM).
JL will handle TB issue and it will have to be done in a way that it sends a strong/right message to all the players that what he did was wrong and will not be tolerated! If he blows this off as just a college fight then what happens the next time and the next time?

Couldn't agree more. In season I am sure there would be a game suspension or two. This far away .. a game's suspension makes no sense.
 
Quite possibly the worst Bears game i've seen in my 15 years watching the Bears full time. I didn't think it could get any worse than Orton or Grossman LOL. Well hopefully my fantasy teams keep me interested this season.

My GF wanted to turn off the game after GB scored that last TD and I said no because the Bears have another QB this year and they have a much better chance. Well she said that the Bears s$ck and there is no way they will pull it off. I guess she was right! :oops:

4 interceptions! and that last one was just U_G_L-Y!
