I like this tradition. Lets see - a bus ride from Miami to Tuscaloosa - 30+ hours? That's a lot of time to think (mostly about how much they are going to be running when Coach gets back home).
I'm sure they are going to be very mad about having to make that long ride home. However, when they need to use the latrine, hopefully there will be a mirror so they can see who they should be mad at. They are missing a great opportunity to see a great game up close and personal instead of having to watch it like me. When you are told what to expect and you still screw up, that's not good.

Don't the freshmen need seniors/upperclassmen around them during the entire PROCESS saying don't do this and don't do that or you are going to blow it big time and have to pay for your mistakes. I sure hope nobody else has to ride a bus home!

However, if anybody else has to ride a bus home, they need to board that bus with no TV monitors oh about an hour before game time.

No offense to Anderson and Lee but they are, as of right now, what I call "chicken finger eaters". "Chicken finger eaters" don't get much leeway when it comes to shenanigans. You are here to support, not distract. You distract and I will ensure that you will not be here to distract any further.

They could just as easily watch the game on their smart phones...:wink:

I think being sent home and being publicly humiliated is quite enough.

It is unfortunate for these kids that their actions caused them to be sent home. However, the humiliation of being sent home should be sufficient to get their heads on right for the future. These are two kids have now been taught a very valuable life lesson.

Man, all these new gadgets that we have available to us now. I think back to Bama playing Arkansas after the 1961 season. I watched that game intently on a small Black and White TV. Times sure have changed.

Agree, and, as I posted earlier, this type of player is, unfortunately, more likely to get into trouble. Sometimes it's hard to really feel like you're an important part when you know you're not going to see the field...

Those little B&W TVs were responsible for the white road jersey rule. I remember playing UT with them in orange and us in crimson. Looked about the same color on TV...

I think we have some of the best leaders in college sports, but honestly, at this point, those leaders need to be focusing on the game and not chasing around kids who choose not to listen or follow the example their leaders are displaying.

I hate watching kids learn lessons the hard way, particularly when it comes to such a rare opportunity such as making history; however, what is done is done, and it's time for everyone to move forward.
