Siouxman Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 http://www.startribune.com/512/story/721699.html According to the Star-Tribune, Briggs has been suspended for three games. No reason given. Their first three games are non-conference against Maine and Wayne State. Could be an opportunity for Frazee, if he is up to it. Quote
The Whistler Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 Maybe he put a sportsmanship poster up in his locker. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 probably good for the rodents now pudgie boy, i mean "i lost 20 pounds and the fans should notice" frazee can start. hell, its probably a blessing in disguise for gophs fans hell of a opening statement after getting the A on his jersey. Quote
Sioux_Hab-it Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 Did he forget to leave a tip at Blarneys Quote
siouxnami Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 I heard he got in a fight with Finley... Quote

Diggler Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 probably was...jake was a classic!! Plus his woman was smoking. Quote

redwing77 Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 Something irks me about this suspension... 3 game suspensions in every other league are consecutive (sp?). According to what I read, Briggs is suspended for one game vs. Maine and both games vs. Wayne State. I think it's really neat that Lucia has the "Select-a-suspension" option for his team. Makes planning easier. For example, if Lucia decides that Briggs will start Fridays and Frazee starts on Saturdays, why stop at a 3 game suspension? Lucia could "suspend" Briggs for every Saturday's game for the rest of the season and call it a "team suspension." This suspension may be for legit reasons but it is being enforced questionably, IMO.

They only play Maine once as it is the Hall of fame game so the suspension is consecutive games. Quote
Diggler Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 What would we do without redwing? The entertainment he provides us all, it's great. Tis better to be silent and thought a fool then to speak and be known as redwing77. Quote

So that's what those 4 extra years of undergrad taught ya, eh? Maybe I should investigate that. Oh well, so I'm wrong. At least this will be Frazee's chance to put up or shut up. Wayne State will be nothing to the Gophers (They aren't even as talented as Alaska ALaska Alaska Nanooks or whatever ) so I doubt we'll see much there. It all comes down to Oct. 6. Quote
Sioux-per Villain Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 perhaps Briggs has ties to Congressman Foley.... Quote
Sioux_Hab-it Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 What amazes me is that within close to a week of Briggs being named a Captain he would receive a suspension for a team violation. More Goofy controversy to start another season. Quote
mikejm Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe I read that the "issue" for which Briggs was suspended is not something which occured recently. Which adds even more mystery to his being named captain. Quote
Slap Shot Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe I read that the "issue" for which Briggs was suspended is not something which occured recently. Which adds even more mystery to his being named captain. Kids make mistakes, including those called upon to be team leaders. This has been in the making for some time but it's just now being published. I don't see this as a 'conflict of interest' or whatever one wants to call it at all. btw red - I think you're the only one that would not only try to nitpick an actual suspension but still get it wrong in the process.

AZSIOUX Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 Yep yes we , i mean they do damn, not a kid anymore Quote
