DeSmetBilliken Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 So ESPN just copied week old information, passing it off as "Breaking News", and suggested that players were suspended, before taking that part out of the story? Solid journalism all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheChosenOne Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Is this a new article? So now the article does not have the line about the players being suspended? Classic, well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almaman Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 the issue is the word suspended. Only place I see the word after reading Gordon's piece is in the seminarian's post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusam Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 If I am reading the posts correctly Goodman reports that 4 were suspended then 7 minutes later changed the article and eliminated that imformation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only place I see the word after reading Gordon's piece is in the seminarian's post I WAS WRONG I didn't seethe one first time I updated this thread. Still all confusing. If the U does indeed announce suspensions but doesn't name them yet I'm for naming on the board. Why should we all chat around the elephant till first game. Boy this is so frigging disapointing. This plus not using and getting another stud with that last pick taking some of the shine off OPR :(:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 We will find out real soon when we go see the first game. Regardless of what happens I hope the team can play as a unit and use whatever strength they have to the full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FromDaEastSide Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 This article has been changed at least 3 times since being posted by ESPN. Also, looks like Goodman possible wrote it a week ago but was never posted, hence the highlighted part of the article, because practice officially started Saturday, Sept 30th.

dlarry Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 What a giant fluster cluck. Maybe the writer got news of the Jemele Hill suspension while writing this "breaking news" and got his information crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlarry Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Could this be good news? Maybe he put suspended in the article and a SLU official contacted him and said "hold on a minute" Wishful thinking? I guess ESPN being incompetent is more likely.

Old guy Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 My step daughter took her kid to the pumpkin patch last Sunday, there are two of them in operation now. She was interviewed by some reporter for the PD. When she saw what was reported, the reporter placed her on the wrong pumpkin patch and quoted her saying some stuff she never said. What do you want it is the news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlarry Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Cussamano just had some good news on channel 5 news. He said interim suspensions have been lifted and all 4 players are attending class and practicing. He said Roosenbloom told him he expects charges to be dropped soon. I was unaware they were suspended but this is good news. billikens747, JohnnyJumpUp and Slu let the dogs out? like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almaman Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I would think that our previous best case of hanky pinky did occur and maybe even social media involved but that it was all consensual would still cause school to take more action than what Frank supposedly said tonight.

It may have been Roosenbloom doesn't expect charges to be filed or he may have been talking about disciplinary board. I'm not sure but I was pretty happy with what he said. Hopefully things will be cleared up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I wouldn't try to read anything into a tweet from Goodwin. He has been posting cyptic stuff for over a year. Most of the time it never is what you think it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
