Buddy suspended for Duke

[Chip]

Out having dinner. Sportcenter on in the background. Just saw the punch about 8 times. Long segment. Wish I could hear it.

Says will be suspended. Buddy has shown remorse. The tone of voice describing the act was a little theatric.

who?

Trying to show leadership skills that make it impossible for you all to not offer me the position

Post for the job you want, not the job you have.

He should be suspended for not hitting him harder.

Pure BULLSHIT

 

[Alsacs]

Buddy suspended 1 game.

 

[realorange]

Too funny. ESPN doesnt' know yet.

 

[dasher]

And the perfect ending to this awful season.

 

[OrangeCrush22]

Stinks but it was a dumb move by Buddy when you’re up by 15 points especially.

 

[721Comstock]

the longer the wait, the better, I think.

This didn’t age well.

Welp, tomorrows line is going to be… interesting

Buddy obviously knows what he did, pretty clear. I reacted to it live. But this smacks of the golf viewer calling in penalties from their HD big screen. Rubs me wrong. If it's during game action it needs to be caught by game official or not.

I know there's all sorts of slippery slope arguments but to me it seems like there's a big difference between in game penalties fouls and after the game discipline. The role of the referee during the game should be more tactical, enforcing the rules as best as they can. Then the league (or conference in this case) should also be looking at the big picture and handing out penalties as appropriate to try to influence norms within the game with things like suspensions (and fines in the pros).

A player getting away with one in the game is bad, but it becomes even worse when everyone just throws up theirs hands afterwards and says "welp, guess there's nothing that can be done" while looking at multiple video replays of the incident.

Pure BULLSHIT

No. It isn't. It's sad. It's too bad. but, how would they justify not suspending him.

Chaz Owens,

Come on down!!!

 

[BillSU]

who?

the ref who flew in from Vegas last night ESPN had on to discuss the situation. Thinks there are consequences to your actions even though Buddy apologized shook hands post game, etc., etc.

Which IMO will be a shame after all we and Buddy have been through this season.

 

[dasher]

This didn’t age well.

Not really. We needed to wait longer.

Now we got em just where we want em!

they pay him for that expert commentary?

 

[NineOneSeven]

Unfortunate!

He should be suspended for not hitting him harder.

Can you sneak some hookers and blow into the Dukies players rooms tonight?

 

[Cuse1055]

I know decisions aren’t based on one event, but anyone think this impacts Buddy’s decision to potentially come back? I can’t see him wanting his college career to end on this specific note.

 

[orange79]

Sucky way to end your career, especially since it was so out of character. It will probably be killing him he can't even be on the bench tomorrow.

 

[JRHEETER]

Unfortunate way for his career to end at Syracuse
