didnt see this posted, but varner, hartzell, smith and the mocs beat guy reported on it. jerry moore suspended these guys for two games. originally was supposed to be ecu and then montana. but, last week lifted it and delayed the 2nd game until this week and let them play against montana.

did they make a difference?

I disagree with the move and have said so on the App boards as well. That being said, this happened a week ago and the game is over now. Price had a very good game but I don't think he is the reason we won.

It certainly raised a red flag to me as well. I didn't like the decision, but if Coach Moore says the team rules are missing 2 of the first 4 games, I have no reason not to believe that. But come on, man. You're just trolling here. You said "win at all costs." Win at all costs would have meant letting them play at ECU as well. You don't know what these kids did.

does it matter what they did. the punishment was changed.

i did say win at all costs. this is now the second year running where the staff has questionable taken care of punishment of key players.

Please elaborate, and don't be afraid to use capital letters.

[Saint3333]

Actually the punishment hasn't changed.

The punishment was 2 of the first 4 games as stated above. While I disagree with rules that lend to subjectivity, those players will serve the punishment of 2 of the first 4 games.

Players were not allowed to play last year and were kicked off the team, what else did you want them to do?

[asucrutch23]

The team rule is missing 2 of the first 4 games. That's the punishment. They were originally going to miss ECU and Montana, but it's been decided they learned a lesson and were allowed to play in the home opener.

If you think Coach Moore is just picking and choosing which games to suspend the players, you are underestimating how badly we wanted to win at ECU and how much Coach Moore values a SoCon title. They will miss The Citadel or Chatty games which are more important for the success of this team than the Montana game.

There didn't have to be any suspension at all, it was a TEAM rule. "Win at all costs" would mean these players would have been allowed to play at ECU.

[chattownmocs]

Lol. 2 of the first 4 games? That's honestly the dumbest thing I have ever heard of. When you are punished you serve your punishment until it is completed and then you come back. Shows they are truly scared of Chattanooga that they held them out of East Carolina so they could play against the Mocs.

What you're referring to (ASU up by 14 pts) is a ChattownMocs victory.

[asumike83]

Coach Moore did not change or break any rules. However, the '2 of 4' rule is pointless. The rule should be that a 2-game suspension is served in consecutive games. In my opinion, regardless of how the rule was written, he should have sat them against Montana to make a point. From what I understand, the infractions were minor and playing Lott in the secondary saved a redshirt year for one of our freshmen but I still do not like the message it sends.

If I read this correctly so far, here's the score:

Seems like we're on the same side, just to varying degrees.

[theasushow]

I don't think he is afraid of anything...just ask 2007 starting corner Justin Woazeah how well he played in the 2007 National Championship. We all know that these coaches have to deal with issues every season, VT's kicker was charged with armed robbery last year, and he kicked the game winning field goal against GT on labor day last week. At the end of the day Frank Beamer knew he needed his kicker to help his football team....and that won out.

[AppAlum2003]

As far as I'm concerned, Jerry can do what he wants with his own suspensions. He suspended these kids, not the university, not the NCAA. If he decides to suspend them two games and then reevaluates after the first game, that's fine with me.

Sometimes I'll have to punish my daughter for a week. If she behaves pretty well during that period of time, I'll let her off punishment a day early. If anything, it's a motivator for her. Our federal prison system does the same thing, right? :)

Also, for everyone screaming from the rooftops that Jerry is such a terrible person for this... do any of you know what these kids did? Clearly it's not a drug or crime issue because the NCAA is not involved. This was some sort of violation of team rules. Hopefully both young men learned from their mistakes and will come out better for it.

violation of team rules is a broad statement. to assume it is terrible or not is not for me or you to decide. and you cant assume that it isnt something serious just because the ncaa or police arent involved, maybe they are, you have no idea and neither do i.

If a bunch of App fans agreeing with you to a slightly lesser extent constitutes a "meltdown" I'd hate to see what happens when one of us gets PO'd. xtroublex The skin gets pretty thick with some of the barbs directed our way, and something like this isn't going to make any App fan go to Defcon 1 - it's an internal matter that doesn't even impact you or your team, and it's doubtful that anyone on this board knows if it was anything more devastating than being late to practice or a team meeting.

Team rules were broken, Jerry's handling it in house as he sees fit. The Montana folks (who were actually directly impacted by this potentially) didn't make as big a deal out of it as you have.

Do you know what the players did? If not, then your opinion is really not valid (same with everyone else). I don't know what they did. Jerry benched a starter for the National Championship game in 2007, so I don't see him suddenly switching course to cater to troublemakers. I trust JM to do the right thing. As a result, I will let him handle it as I don't know enough to form a valid opinion. Reason is something you should check out.

[BucBisonAtLarge]

Well, purely from a fan perspective, I am glad to have two full strength teams hammer it out last week in what was, from most reports, a great game between two FCS powers. This flavor of 'coulda, woulda, shoulda' is much preferable to tainting that game with a reduced roster and the sort of second-guessing that would have followed. App and Montana don't play every year.

[chattownmocs]

The fact that ole jerry has the right to do whatever he wants doesn't make the idea of picking and choosing which games to suspend a player rather than the next two any less asinine. The idea of it is very comical.

[biggie]

One thing not really thought about is the teaching factor, which JM always stresses. The Montana game with all the hype and opponent was a good oppurtunity for Price to have his first start as a RS Freshman and see if he can handle it.

But simply the rule was 2 of the first 4 games, it was internal so nothing external could have a say over it (NCAA, etc). The staff saw a need to use the rule as needed.

Pobably didn't think the El Cit game would be as big as it looks to be when the decision was made though either.

theres a big difference between benching a player in a game your a heavily favored for to pulling someone off a suspension for a game that has playoff implications. sorry just not buying it.

oh yeah! ole jerry had initially stated the suspensions were for game 1 and 2 and then changed it. sure, still meets his 2 of 4 rule, but conveniently goes against his own plan!

It was the National Championship game, I'd say there were playoff implications. That was against a Joe Flacco led Delaware squad with 11 wins. Nobody expected us to blow the doors off of them like we did, myself included. The kid he suspended was a senior all-conference cornerback and his violation was not major by any means.

I will. Three players (all defense) that would have started in this game for ASU were kicked off the team last season. In addition, Middleton (S) and Chisholm (RB) among other injuries were absent. ASU also completely revamped its coaching staff with the exception of DC and HC. You'll recall ASU had some issues of their own last season, albeit not as severe as UM's. I, too, wish this game could have taken place without each team's respective scandals, suspensions and, at least in UM's case, firings.

In the end, it was a great football game that shouldn't be remembered for any officiating calls or absences. As an ASU fan, I don't recall any notable calls that changed the game in favor of UM in 2009. I just remember a great game with a gut-wrenching conclusion.

On a side note, I love how fc97 started the thread attempting to troll ASU and instead ended up the one completely ticked off.

I talked with a ton of ASU fans in Greenville, SC, and Boone, NC this past week. Some of them are AGS posters, the majority weren't.

When this subject came up, and it did quite a bit, every single one of them was against Coach Moore lifting the suspensions.

Regardless of him doing it, and maybe I'm still a little star struck after spending 30-45 minutes with him and his wife, I still have nothing but the utmost respect for him, the Appalachian State football program, and their fans!xnodxxbowxxbowx

What facts are "we" deflecting? I don't know what the players were accused of. Apparently, the rule was 2 of the first 4 games, and that rule is being adhered to. There appears to be no alleged legal or NCAA violations.

The only fact we know is that originally JM had planned to suspend them for the first 2 games and then decided to do it differently. I find it hilarious that you take this one fact and are adding in your own assumptions to try to paint JM in a negative light. Am I to understand that you have never changed your mind?

[Saint3333]

One of the reasons for the change in games was injuries suffered during the ECU game. Rather than make other players suffer (taking off their redshirt) Coach Moore elected not to suspend the players for Montana.

I personally don't like the 2 out of 4 rule, but setting up rules isn't my call.

[chattownmocs]

To pretend that simply having such an outlandish policy like this in place doesnt reflect on the character of a coach is another low in stupidity of the blind app homers. It also shows a complete lack of respect for the citadel.

obviously Jerry doesn't think it is important as a non-conference game. Or more likely he feels confident that he doesn't need those guys. Either way a slap in the face of the Citadel.

Jerry has built his whole career around integrity, why would he throw it all away now for one game? I know you're trolling, but you've got better stuff than this.

There is no way you can claim to have integrity with a policy like this. If no one else can see how absolutely absurd the idea of this is than I am glad to be in the minority. That means the majority are idiots.

No wait. We are reinstating them for the Citadel game and suspending them for the Furman and GSU games........Call out the troops this is a terrible thing!

[Skjellyfetti]

It could be that he is suspending them for ECU and Chattanooga as they are both away games... and letting them play the home games in between.

Could be a minor thing concerning class attendance or grades where they are still eligible, but he is punishing them before their grades get out of control to get them in line and keep them elibible. Away games would make them miss classes, home games would not.

I don't know that this is what is going on, but no one really knows the story... including those that are casting stones.

Jerry Moore is a feeble old man...

Coach at Drake has suspended half of the team for 2 games for violating team rules. Seems the young men were drinking alcohol on Saturday night before the first game of the season which was on a Thursday night.

Erk Russell is worm food. xcoffeex

Classy...

Why don't you go sit over there with seantaylor and stew in your own anger?

[AppAlum2003]

But! But! They're making a low-budget direct-to-dvd(not blu ray) movie about his life that only Georgia Southern fans will ever see!

[Eaglesrus]

Perhaps if GSU had thought it was an important game they'd be 1-0 in the SoCon today.

Yeah, if we had thought that The Citadel was a more important game maybe we would have lifted the guy who would have started as our middle linebacker's suspension. Nope, don't think so.

Then there's the concept of pointing out that a post is classless followed by some even less so.

So making fun of a movie concept is somehow worse than referring to someone at a "feeble old man"... I'm so lost.

On the surface maybe not, but I'd say that piling on after reference the comment about worm food is.

... and the game is still a month and a half away!

I wont be able to make it, I'll be waiting at that Walmart 2 for $5 Dvd bin, waiting for that movie... :p

xlolx You don't even know why they were suspended. The only people that look like idiots are the ones casting stones with no knowledge as to why. If you're including me in your name calling, I'm honored that we think differently.

Well, you shouldn't be, but then again you are too slow to understand that the obvious story here is the policy itself. Why they were suspended is meaningless. The fact that the coach has a policy that allows him to pick and choose the games to suspend his player is the issue. But the idea that a coach with a policy like this would suspend players 2 games for something "minor" is pretty illogical.

I like how you resort to name calling when bested. xlolx The sad thing is that I don't necessarily disagree, I just don't know all of the facts. Because of that, I am not placing judgment, and I'm trusting JM is operating on the up-and-up--as he always has. What I know is that JM has a policy that he will suspend the players for two games within the first four. I also know that he had originally planned for them to be suspended for the first two games, but changed his mind. Jerry has proven numerous times over the years to be a person of high integrity. I have no reason to dismiss that now.

Nevertheless, what's illogical is speaking in absolutes without knowing the facts. You've never been one to care for facts, so at least you're consistent. You desperately want something to bash ASU about because Chatty hasn't been able to beat them on the field, so for that I'm happy for you.

Been around ASU athletics for20+ years and never heard of a 2 in 4 option prior to the ECU game. The violations of a school policy took place when the players returned from Spring Break. This particular offense carries a mandatory two game suspension. Word circulating around town is the staff came up with the two in four option idea but Thursday prior to the ECU game were told it would be the first two games. That decision was overturned higher up the food chain prior to the Montana game. Most do not realize there is a third suspended player involved but evidently not important enough to have his suspension lifted. The publicity surrounding a string of player dismissals and suspensions that reach back over the past 14 months and Coach Moore’s son being fired by the AD – because Jerry would not - has ruffled a lot of feathers on campus and in town. The once revered Jerry Moore has lost a lot of respect on campus, in Boone and with alumni.

I do know the third player you're talking about and I disagree with how this whole situation was handled. That being said, I think this particular issue has been blown out of proportion a bit. I cannot speak for anyone except myself but while I understand that Jerry is human and has made mistakes, I still have great respect for him. The positive things he has done for our university far outweigh his mistakes, in my opinion.
