The facts, at least in terms of the official record, have certainly taken a beating. As far as we know, CP failed one drug test (yeah, I know what he told the cops) and was sent to counseling as per the policy. LDB has never been suspended so, again, per the officially stated policy, he could not have failed more than one drug test and I have not seen any evidence to suggest that even happened. In fact, with all the "knucklehead" talk I have heard from people somewhat around the program and on TCU message boards, his name has never even come up before this week. That doesn't mean squat as far as what has been going on with him but for people to suddenly assume that he has failed multiple drug tests and to assume another player who was publically disciplined for failing one had multiple failures that were ignored is just baseless speculation.
Oh, and on Boykin4Prez caring about facts. Good grief.

What is that supposed to mean?
We don't know how many if any he failed(lb)but he could have failed many after the season, because there haven't been any games since them for him to be suspended from. The point is we don't know , we also don't know if he had been causing other problems, I think the coaches know why they did what they and that's good enough for me and should be for everyone else, if not maybe they should apply for a coaching position on the team.

I feel fairly certain that EVERYONE else will easily comprehend it without any elaboration. But, if it's any consolation, I kind of have come to consider you an acquired taste that has become somewhat more entertaining than annoying over time. Plus, people like and apparently copy your videos. So, there is that too.
How do you know this?tetonfrog said:
I have a friend who smokes for personal reasons. It is not uncommon (according to him) to buy something in this range for his own personal use. It cuts down on the # of transactions he must make.
Agree this was stupid on LD's part...but I don't think you can make the leap that this was clearly marked for "sale" simply because it is around 2 ounces. Now if it's a lb...it's a diff story.

Seriously? Do you know how long would it take one person to smoke two ounces? First you need to remember that weed will dry out over time even we you seal it properly. There is not one person on earth wants to smoke dried up [Craig James]. If the amount he had was 1.5 ounces it would take him over a month so long as he smoked everyday even with friends. Most recreational smokers only buy an eighth or a quarter of an ounce o weed, it would last you a long time.Steak said:
Let's stop being so naive and stop assuming that our basis is incorrect. I can tell you for sure that players are and have done [Craig James] that none of know about.

But they will hear about failed drug tests, so this is basically a moot point. Plus, CU is a joke of a program with crap facilities and a cash-strapped athletic department. No kid will go there just so he can carry around a joint with no legal ramifications.Hemingway said:

Classic line from Cheech and Chong's "Let's Make a Dope Deal."
announcer: "How many joints do you get from a lid (ounce)?
Cheech: "Uh, one."
after a pause..."I roll big joints."
after another pause...
announcer: "Correct! The judges say they roll big joints, too!"

It's Friday and I'm moving a little slow, so maybe I need to check my sarcasm meter, but marijuana is still a banned substance by the NCAA, regardless of the state's treatment of it.Hemingway said:

I think the athletes are getting pretty good about predicting testing. However, you think that if a University can cover its own administered drug test they wouldn't?DickBumpastache said:
If I remember correctly, the NCAA has a required testing and universities can do their own private? Seems like we only hear about the failed drug tests when the cops arrest someone and the university is trying to put some distance between them and the player.
Sadly, I think the parents want the kid to get an education and hope they go pro somehow. Going to CU might reduce things like this from happening. Is it breaking any laws?FBallFan123 said:

You never hear about failed drug tests because no university ever explicitly announces when a player fails a drug test. The first failure is a slap on the wrist. The second failure, and those beyond that, are considered "violations of team rules" at almost every university. Maybe a kid misses half a game, then a full game, the. 2-3 weeks, and so on and so forth. But no program condones marijuana use, so just as I said, your point is moot. CU and CSU will never use legal marijuana as a recruiting tool because it would be totally ineffective with parents, and many kids need their parents' signatures on their LOIs. Plus there's the whole "pot is against program rules" problem.Hemingway said:

I know that some players get tested on a regular basis while others don't.
