There goes our whol D.

[GeauxSioux]

Unfortunate, but I don't think our whole "D" is gone because of the loss of Stroup.

[WiSioux]

I hear that Stroup may have gotten in some trouble and I doubt that he will be at the green/white scrimmage tomorrow....

Projected Starters

I had mentioned backed before the spring game that he wouldn't be playing in the Spring Game... I suppose I could have also included that he was no longer on the team.... sorry.

[Sioux_Yeah_Yeah]

I can't read the article, I have to have a login...

Stroup may be a big part of the D, but I think we'll be ok without him...

UND starting linebacker Bobby Stroup was dismissed from the football team today, the school announced.

Stroup, a Fargo native, had been serving an indefinite suspension since April. He was a sophomore.

[siouxkid12]

what was he even suspended for?

[WiSioux]

I believe he got in some legal trouble.

[petey23]

With that kind of character, or lack thereof......Goodbye. Where's Rocky Hager coaching now? Maybe he needs some more players.

[Devils]

Played pick-up and intramural basketball against him a few times when I was at UND and he was a total punk - trying to start fights and a mouthy little dude. Kind of smirked when I saw this article.

[Let'sGoHawks!]

He always was jumping offside and had undisciplined penalties...I guess it makes sense. Boy, that court search tool is awesome by the way. Gotta love public records.

[siouxkid12]

what a tool! i hear mayville will take just about anyone!

[soohockey15]

This was a long time coming.

What is really sad is that somewhere along the line, if what I am reading is true, someone (parent, coach, advisor, friend, whatever) should have sat this young man down and given him an attitude adjustment. Whatever it takes to get the point across. We see way too much of coaches and others allowing you people to skirt the line with unaccpetable behavior and attitudes because of their skills. Then, at some point, odds are things grossly cross the line and it is a train wreck.

The article on Shattuck St. Mary's is outstanding in that it demonstrates and promotes personal toughness and self-discipline.

[siouxkid12]

i sure hope he does not whine and complain about being dismissed from the team because he deserved it!

I would guess that someone, and more than likely more than one person, probably did try and talk to him. You've seen how Stroup plays... he's agressive, competitive, and occassionally out of control. Now imagine him off the field.... there is only so much you can say to a person with that type of a personality.

With Stroup done, and Bodoh's injury situation being uncertain at best, the weakside OLB position is looking like a problem. Besides Giles, who else is there? I assume red-shirt freshmen, although I have no idea who else practiced at the position this spring.

[captsioux]

they used Schwenzfeier at that position against the purple cows and he got a sack to just about seal the game.

Bobby Stroup has alot of life ahead of him. Let's hope after he pays his price he has a meaningful life.

But instead he gets a football scholarship, isn't that great!

I am sure at some point people have tried to get through to him, but if people wanted him to play football bad enough they tend to let a lot slide. It's to bad and these types of guys are all over the place in athletics.

lets also remember guys that most of these players are good people. There are always a few people who make a large group of good guys look bad. Lets not make assumptions about all the players based one persons decisions. like previously mentioned lets hope stroup can figure all this out and start making decisions that will help him later in life.

I agree that most of the FB team is made up of good people, but it seems that a few bad apples are almost always in the group as well. Stroup gets the boot for all this stuff, but a lot of time the general public doesn't even catch wind of what happens because it is kept quite. Look at how much stroup did before he was finally removed.
