Day 277

  • Penalties have come down for the Duron incident in Texas:
  1. Duron banned from all further interscholastic competition.  Technically for the rest of the school year, but because he's a senior, he's done.
  2. Duron was only suspended from school for three days...
  3. ... but he has also been banned from all extracurricular activities for the rest of his school career.
  4. The football coach has been placed on probation for one year...
  5. ... and the school's athletic program for two. 

Not enough.  Duron should be EXPELLED.

I'd start the bidding at disqualification from all playoffs until a full investigation can clear the school of promoting a culture of this.  Minimum rest of the school year.  (That's for a ticky-tack three-day suspension.  When John Jay's incident happened, the two students involved were expelled for 15 weeks!)

I wouldn't even oppose a full decertification of the school out of the UIL.  

  • Cuckoo clocks in Cleveland tonight.  42-all and at least one Cliffhanger already.
  • Make that two.  TD+2 for Baltimore for 42-35 at 1:51.  TD for Cleveland at 1:04 for 42-42.  And now Baltimore driving to win it in the time left.
  • Ballgame from 55 for 45-42 final.
  • Whoops -- make that a safety on the final play madness for 47-42 -- and that COVERS Baltimore -3!!!  Ouch!!!    
  • Uh oh...  Oh no...  Keyontae Jackson of the Florida Gators has been placed in a medically-induced coma.
