Idiots.

My first reaction hearing Dabo Swinney had suspended four Tigers for the Music City Bowl game Sunday. Their crime: violating curfew.

From the State:

“Four Tigers reserves have been suspended for today’s Music City Bowl against Kentucky for curfew violations, most notably defensive tackles Jamie Cumbie and Rennie Moore. The others were third-string tight end Durrell Barry and receiver Kyle Johnson.“

Unless there was a hurricane, death, famine, or something catastrophic, there was no reason to come in late. Their actions were selfish. They let the team down and they deserve to be punished.

Going on a bit of rant here so be prepared.

Cities spell problems for college teams. That’s one of the reasons I’ve always said Clemson has always appeared to have a cleaner program than South Carolina. In Columbia, there’s a ton of problems to be found. More bars. More strip clubs. There’s more of an underworld there.

In Clemson, it’s the university, and a lot of open space. Yes, boredom can lead to problems too but you really have to go out of your way to find trouble. In Columbia or any other city for that matter, trouble can find you.
