Moscow Minidoka: Zag Doofs Didn’t Hurt Anyone

Moscow Minidoka: I have nothing but hostility for college athletics (in general), but the press is acting as though they killed someone. The biggest folly in the “drug war” is the assertion that all drugs are equally bad. This shouldn’t be the big deal it is. They didn’t hurt anyone, and college athletes get far less punishment for worse things (BSU’s Cam Hall was involved in a drag racing incident in which an entire FAMILY was killed - and he was back on the team the next season).

DFO: Heytvelt should be booted from the team for the season (and that’s what seems to have happened). And he should be allowed to play next year, if he keeps his nose clean. Many in my g-g-g-generation tried ‘shrooms and grass w/o lasting effect. That doesn’t make the individuals evil. However, to be doing grass and/or ‘shrooms during the season — and on the eve of a big game — indicates this kid cares little for his team. He needs to grow up. Mebbe he will as a result of the flap he finds himself in. MM makes a good point re: Cam Hall. Heytvelt and Theo Davis aren’t evil. Simply stupid.
