Just a few weeks after losing a pair of potential starters for the 2006 opener at Holy Cross, the Harvard football team had a third player suspended indefinitely by head coach Tim Murphy.

Matt Thomas '06-'07, named team captain of the 2006 Crimson on Nov. 22nd, was arrested by Harvard University police on June 5th and charged with assault and battery domestic abuse, breaking and entering with intent to commit a felony, and malicious destruction of property in connection with an incident in Currier House.

Murphy did the right thing. We'll just have to see what ensues and how the suspensions affect the team.

Don't count your chickens, bulldog10jw!:p

I never would. I hope everything works out for the young man.

It doesn't speak very much for your program when something like this happens to your team captain. Being named team captain is a very prestigious honor at Harvard and Thomas, while a fine player, showed a terrible lack of judgement by getting himself in this mess. That isn't the type of guy you want leading your team. You wonder if Thomas will receive more than a one-game suspension, or if he will be dismissed from the team?
