Heard at the basketball game tonight - not good

Maybe did a Mike Williams, got suspended, then said "the hell with it, I'm going pro"

I think with Mike Williams it was more a case of "I'm going pro, the hell with it" - then got suspended.

 

[ImperialOrange]

I don't think so. Since the Facebook post he's said stuff about going to the weight room and watching film and whatnot, which makes me think it may not be him after all. We'll see.

Good. Not just because I want to keep him on our team but he's not ready for the pros yet. After next year he might be.

Could be. Was his second suspension for the year but had put in enough product sample for the NFL at that point.

Looks like Phil's twitter is gone. Not sure that necessarily means something, but it is interesting.

Edit: Computer must have been acting up. He's still there.

 

[Scooch]

It's definitely Phil. There is another account floating around that's fake, but the one this status is from is him.

Sweet Lord, what kind of world are we living in where people pretend to be PHIL THOMAS?

 

[bnoro]

I love internet rumors and how one little guess caused it to be fact Phil Thomas was suspended, then going pro, and violating compliance. Get a grip people, holy

 

[BlazeOrange]

Antwon tweeted last night at Phil Thomas and it said "Happy birthday @PhilThomas I got you regardless."

Unless people who know are being purposefully vague, it's also possible that more than one player was punished, but only one was suspended. Thomas could be in either group, but is the only one with twitter followers, so people are jumping to conclusions.

With the bye, we might not get an official word for a while. It also provides time for things to change.

He should be 1st in the nation, if you counted all the easy picks he has missed.

Especially that pick-6 against, Rutgers! We'd be 6-4, right now! smdh!

 

[albanycuse]

well since he wrote hes looking for a job or intern from dec 3 to jan 15th anywhere besides ny it must be him.

also love how people speculating on a website can cause someone to overreact based on just a couple of posts

 

[Noexcuse]

The good thing is that we have 10 days to speculate, unless someone steps up and spills it.

I don't think the who really even matters at this point, it's pretty clear that this team has some issues on and off the field that need to be corrected. All is not goo by any means and losing 3 in a row will do that.

Why would he look for an internship during bowl season that's stupid. Also the football team provides players with internships. Clarification there are two Phillip Thomas fb floating around. The fake one is Phillip Thomas the real one is Phillip m Thomas. Another stupid thing is... why would he post about nike not only would compliance be up his ass, but nike would not be going after phillip thomas. Phillip Thomas is not Lebron james he doesnt get contracts before he touches the field. The fake Phillip Thomas is disturbing but I do commend him for his dedication

A football starter may be suspended for the season.

Could it be a starting kick returner like Kobena? Him getting flagged the other night and then going bug -k up and down the sideline for two quarters like a mad man. He looks like he has issues and maybe should be taken out behind the woodshed.

Would be better than having PT gone. Kobena was acting like a dbag against USF. If I were his teammates, we'd be having some talks.

IB, ya think Mike Leach could take care of him?

 

[IthacaBarrel]

Leach should start with Kobena then take care of the offense, Hackett could carry his clipboard

Not really sure what the point of announcing this is if you're not going to tell us who. Why do we need 67 posts speculating on this?

Shameless promotion of the pay side perhaps?

Because speculation with minimal information is fun?

Maybe it is all I was told?

Indeed.

Doesn't really answer the question. Now we know who it was and can have some useful conversations about it.

The post was truthful and factual.

 

[SWC75]

The post was truthful and factual.

But absent the name of the player, leading to speculation about anyone on the roster until the name became known.
