Re: Jordan Love & Gerold Bright busted for smoking weed
Legal in some states, illegal in the United States.
Let's put aside the weed politics, shall we?
Let's say a team has a rule that says if you do X you're punished (who cares what X is). The coaches talk about the rule, reinforce the importance of it, etc.
Then a few players do X. Even if X isn't a big deal, the fact that they knew it was wrong and did it anyway, that's incredibly selfish and there should be a consequence.

Re: Jordan Love & Gerold Bright busted for smoking weed
First, in a vacuum, I don't really care if someone smokes weed.
Second, regardless of how stupid the law may be, it is currently illegal, and against team rules.
This was a stupid decision with incredibly bad timing. Don't blame the cops for enforcing the law as written.
Should they be held out of the bowl game? I don't know, but I feel like there should be some consequences for violating the law and breaking team rules. Especially if you are the leaders of the team.
Will NFL scouts care? They might. All around just a stupid decision.

Re: Jordan Love & Gerold Bright busted for smoking weed
It's only a stupid decision if it actually happened. Let the case run its course, and lets see if the facts back it up. Until then, they are innocent.
(Even if guilty, it's still not that stupid. There are worse things in the world).

Yes, they are college kids, but that also doesn’t excuse this. I expect kids in our program to have better judgement. Especially leaders like Love and Bright.
I hope GA keeps them out of the bowl game. Expectations and consequences are more important for the future success of our program.

Re: Jordan Love & Gerold Bright busted for smoking weed
I appear to be in the vast minority, but I hope they don't play in the bowl game. I think this is reflective of our undisciplined team this year where our governing mantra seems to be "just love the kids." It was stupid and selfish. Flame away. I lost some respect for them.

Re: Jordan Love & Gerold Bright busted for smoking weed
Yeah it is about team rules. I support cannabis legalization and expect it to be legal across the country by the end of the 2020's, but if using cannabis breaks team and university rules, then it isn't something to brush off.2004AG wrote: ↑December 17th, 2019, 1:40 pmI think most of you are missing the point. The point isn't that alcohol is worse or smoking a joint is no big deal and laws need to change. All those things can be true, AND at the same time, acknowledge they used poor judgement. And as long as those rules exist, as stupid as they may be, are in place, they should be followed.

I hate how Marijuana is such an indictment, but in the very next state over it's not even illegal. I'm sure this officer was super giddy about making this bust. So stupid.

I would think they they get to play in the bowl game as these three (3) players (charged only and not convicted) made the Frisco Bowl trip yesterday. We can hope for common bulldog sense from our coaching staff, and Gary Andersen in particular. When you have a hammer every thumb tack looks like a nail.

Re: Jordan Love & Gerold Bright busted for smoking weed
And speeding is not legal in the 2 neighboring states, while weed fully is. So I guess we should let them speed in Utah on their way out to Nevada or Colorado, where they can then smoke it legally?

Re: Jordan Love & Gerold Bright busted for smoking weed
As someone who smoked a fair bit of weed as a young man, I just get frustrated when people try to act like there's absolutely nothing questionable about the act and try to compare it to something like speeding.
I can 100% speak from experience that you have a significantly higher chance of doing something stupid that could harm yourself or others when you are smoking pot. Speeding doesn't effect your mental state. If you want to compare it to texting and driving that's a more fair comparison.
I can see how GA would justify playing them or not playing them, and I certainly am not going to condemn them for the act, but I've got no judgement to pass on those that say smoking weed is stupid and would support them missing the game.

Re: Jordan Love & Gerold Bright busted for smoking weed
That's the best point I've seen made. We need to think about the precedence this sets for the program. I think one of the biggest issues we've had all year on this team has been placing too much emphasis on individuals over the team. This news today showing 2 team leaders making selfish decisions punctuates the underlying theme of this season.Cheecho6 wrote: ↑December 17th, 2019, 12:39 pmRegardless of how you feel about the drug, if it’s a team rule to not do it and they broke team rules does that change your opinion about whether or not they should play?

I get it, marijuana is now equated with alcohol across the nation. But it is still illegal in most states so people should be smarter. Also, as a medical provider I can tell you that marijuana is not as innocent as many what to portray it.

Yes I agree! I can tell you right now it has not changed how I feel about the young man one bit! I love all he has done and believe he is a great guy. Just a dumb decision.

This will be adjudicated and over with before the NFL combine.

Re: Jordan Love & Gerold Bright busted for smoking weed
Who is going to label him, and as what? Legalizing weed is probably the most universally agreed upon "political" topic in the US today, something like 70% of the population believes it should be legal. If anything, the story gives the state of Utah a bad rep for future recruits (and professional athletes for the Jazz). Should I go play for the Nuggets or Colorado State, or go somewhere where they're going to give me a citation and plaster me on ESPN for doing something 70% of the country thinks should be legal?ThunderAggie wrote: ↑December 17th, 2019, 3:15 pmI wish this was the case but it is already all over espn and internet.

Re: Jordan Love & Gerold Bright busted for smoking weed
Hammer meet nail! If it means a team believes that this kid can turn around their team, they won't pass on him in fear of someone else picking him up (which will happen).JFW_AGGIES wrote: ↑December 17th, 2019, 3:24 pmIf the NFL values his talent this will not effect his NFL career one bit.ThunderAggie wrote: ↑December 17th, 2019, 3:15 pmI wish this was the case but it is already all over espn and internet.

This is the problem with assuming that everyone is guilty from the get go. Let's wait until we have some actual facts before we "lose respect" for these players. Love and Bright at the very least have earned that much right?

Re: Jordan Love & Gerold Bright busted for smoking weed
Yeah, it's so weird that the local Utah sports web page, ESPN, would even make a story of this non-issue. I'm just glad there are no national sport media outlets who might think this is newsworthy. So embarrassing for Utah.MetsJetsAggies wrote: ↑December 17th, 2019, 3:25 pmWho is going to label him, and as what? Legalizing weed is probably the most universally agreed upon "political" topic in the US today, something like 70% of the population believes it should be legal. If anything, the story gives the state of Utah a bad rep for future recruits (and professional athletes for the Jazz). Should I go play for the Nuggets or Colorado State, or go somewhere where they're going to give me a citation and plaster me on ESPN for doing something 70% of the country thinks should be legal?ThunderAggie wrote: ↑December 17th, 2019, 3:15 pmI wish this was the case but it is already all over espn and internet.

We're sure jumping the gun here. These guys were in an apartment where weed may have been smoked by somebody. They always charge everyone and then ask questions later. A football player who uses cannibas rather than narcotics for pain is lot more responsible in my mind regardless of the legality but that's beside the point.
This is not the time to discipline your team's hardest working senior and best ever QB with a suspension. Make them do some bear crawls and be done with it.

Re: Jordan Love & Gerold Bright busted for smoking weed
Here's my breakdown of the linked report:
Someone called the police telling them USU athletes were smoking pot. Cops arrive at apartment building and smell pot. They smell it stronger coming from a specific apartment room. They get into the apartment and find 6 people in there. Then they find a 7th person. They determine pot was consumed in apartment. The press charges. Athletes cooperate.
Did they even find pot? Seems like they're being charged on a stool pigeon (what are we, BYU?) and the cops sense of smell. I'm sure there's more to it than that, and maybe that's enough to charge, but as others have said, innocent until proven guilty.
I remember a similar story involving Robert Turbin when he was present in a car that smelled like Pot. Charges were dropped and he was determined to be innocent. I'm expecting something similar here.
