Nick Marshall cited for marijuana. NOT arrested.

[Crimson-Blitz]

Cried his way out of an arrest?

I think a prayer meeting at Kristi's house should do the trick.

 

[danb]

Makes me think there was more to it that is being swept under the rug. If not why the tears?

He was crying because the cop took his bag of pot and he was going to be jonesing all weekend!!!!

The night the Heisman Trophy was awarded to rapist Winston is when the Heisman officially became a very big joke!!!!!!!!!

One, GM was glad he had a reason to keep NM from having to speak in public due to the fact that his interviews usually tend to resemble a puppy on a meat slicer in terms of torture factor.

Two, "teary-eyed"????

Inner NM monologue, "Dang dog, this is gonna be like six strikes and your out!!!"


Yeah, out a quarter.

Given the paranoid Barners always talking about Bama players driving Chargers under suspicious circumstances , I find it hysterical Marshall was driving a late model Charger when cited.

That was my first thought as well.

As it turns out, late model Dodge Chargers are extremely popular (and typically quite inexpensive) vehicles for young black males, which obviously make up the overwhelming majority of major college football players. Of course, why let a rather obvious realities and a bit of common sense get in the way of such an otherwise widespread conspiracy theory?

Plainsmen also ignore the fact the auto credit is still incredibly easy to obtain despite the financial crisis we just expeienced

Who says college football players have no money? $1,100 fine paid by Nick and it's no big deal. Isn't this the same player, who was kicked out of UGA for stealing $$$ from his teammates??

The thing on suspending Marshall... honestly, I'm not sure that the back-up isn't a better player. At the very least, unless Marshall really improves his passing this season, I don't think they would have an appreciable drop-off if Johnson had to play.

I wonder which AU booster give his mother the $1100 to pay the fine. Probably the same one who got NM his Charger.

The same bagman that took care of Cam.

Johnson isn't nearly as effective running the ball, and if the run isn't as dangerous those WRs aren't so open.

Marshall benched for Arkansas game per ESPN

 

[Crimson Bourne]

He will sit the first series. Read the suspension remarks from Malzahn. He said NM will not start but will play

It's easy to be critical of Gus saying "NM won't start" as punishment. I mean what does that mean? He won't start but then come in on the second or third series?

It's a pretty easy out for Gus honestly. If the Barn's offense isn't working, rest assured NM will play sooner rather than later against the Hogs.

JJ may be a better passer (and who isn't a better passer than Marshall) but the Barn's offense worked so well last year because of NM's running threat. This will be interesting.

It's so bad that even some of the Barners are embarressed CGM is taking this route. To their credit, some of them are saying they think he should be suspended for the whole game.
