***Leonte Carroo suspended***

Totally unfair. How were you supposed to know it was the professor's daughter?

Pfft. Not even.

Turned out ol' Professor Street (Econ) was a pretty good wingman. After we got booted, the female in question said to me, "Well, we could just go back to my room and get high and fool around."

That seemed like a much better plan than listening to some old guy talk about supply and demand, amirite?

lol blue sky however they want to call themselves, I still see them at it defending Flood.

The warnings were repeated with the initial arrests that things were going to get worse and no one listened.
 
Let me guess, his gf got in a chick fight and Carroo jumped in and threw the other girl around?
 
Oh now it hits home. The star WR does something stupid and this is the "final straw"...time for the HC to get fired! Carroo is 22 years old, Flood isn't his legal guardian. The ridiculousness of it all is all the lightweights who think because the kid decided to come back for his last year of eligibility he is a saint. These players are young adults, the coaching staff doesn't hold their hands off the field. I saw an interview with Carroo after yesterday's game...he went on about how the team needed to "finish" and how everyone will be held "accountable". An hour later he goes out and gets involved in some stupid off field argument. Sorry that is on Carroo..not the HC at Rutgers. As for the possible replacements from the OP ....about 4 of them are currently under contract and unavailable. Also laughed at the suggestion of Urban Meyer....yeah ...RU will pony up about 6 mill a year for a guy who while the HC at Florida had about 35 arrests in 4 years....sounds like the disciplinarian that RU is apparently in dire need of.

no, the blame is on Flood
 
What are the chances Caroo gets kicked off the team. Suspended twice in 2 weeks you would think Flood would have to make an example. Otherwise it could be perceived as favoritism and look like he has even less control.
 
Word has it that this is very very bad. Caroo is done. This is bad enough where Flood will not survive.
 
Sorry, but if you are one of the captains -- one of the veteran leaders of the team -- you DO NOT get involved in a fight even if it is your girlfriend, relative, best friend, whatever. If a head coach is on top of his team, that point should be made pretty clear.

And Caroo should have known better after being suspended once this season AND with all of the arrests RU has faced. A true leader wouldn't add to the fire like this.

Word.
 
I feel bad for Flood. Seriously.
A bunch of 19-22 year old idiots are going to cost him his livelihood and reputation.

No, I don't think he's a good coach really but he doesn't deserve to be tarnished like this by dumba$$es like Dre Boggs and Leonte Carroo.

Not going to share premium info, sorry. Hope you understand..there's a reason they charge for that.

Just saying from what "people in the know" are hearing, it's not good for anyone.

Respectfully, I do understand not wanting to share premium information. I don't understand coming over to the free board and posting you know something we don't. If you can't share what you heard, why post anything here at all?

Buck stops at the top. It's up to Flood to get them to understand that they represent their team, their university, and their coach. Hold them to a higher standard.

I was just really replying to the post above mine, saying let's hope it's not serious and just Carroo was just protecting a family member.

It doesn't seem like that's the case. Just want people to realize it's serious, that's all.

Recent events definitely give him an embarrassment of riches to work with

Isn't he dead?

That aside, I have two comments.

First, for the people who are saying that the buck stops at the top, while implicating Flood, I would point out that "the top" is Barchi and Hermann.

Second, and with respect to First, it seems plausible that leaping into the top tier of the national football scene brings with it some growing pains for which we were / are not well prepared.

You can't even hate on NJ.com at this point. The sunshine brigade was repeatedly warned about things coming apart under Flood and some of them continue to think he should have no blame for 7 arrests and losing to a team that lost to AA.

Wait...

WHAT HAPPENED TO 'BLUE SKY'??

The Blue Sky Crowd is so yesterday, everyone's signing this tune now:

Sunshine go away today
I don't feel much like dancing
Some man's gone, he's tried to run my life
Don't know what he's asking

He tells me I'd better get in line
Can't hear what he's saying
When I grow up I'm going to make it mine
But these aren't dues I been paying

(Chorus)
How much does it cost, I'll buy it
The time is all we've lost, I'll try it
But he can't even run his own life
I'll be damned if he'll run mine, Sunshine

Sunshine go away today
I don't feel much like dancing
Some man's gone he's tried to run my life
Don't know what he's asking

Working starts to make me wonder where
The fruits of what I do are going
He says in love and war all is fair
But he's got cards he ain't showing

(Chorus)

Sunshine come on back another day
I promise you I'll be singing
This old world, she's gonna turn around
Brand new bells'll be ringing
 
Which is why Flood is dead meat What does it take for posters to stop blaming the media, the administration , other posters and now the players Yes the players are responsible for their own actions but it was at best a clueless Flood who kept thugs on the team aHe !s the head coach who presided over the melt down of the team He ahold be gone in the next couple of days
 
At a loss for words. Just an awful period for those of us who care about the program. If this was a serious offense then he should be finished. Whether you choose to hold Flood accountable or alibi for him know that rightly or wrongly he is responsible for what happens on his watch. No longer an isolated instance but looking more like a pattern. He gets no slack from me regarding on the field expectations because of these events. I am pretty sure he is not going to meet my expectations.

On another note of good behavior yesterday, I was walking down from my seats upstairs early in the fourth quarter and saw a guy being escorted out of the Audi Club by three guys who had a tight hold on the guy. Seemed like he had too much to drink but I did not think much of it. I guess that was an indicator of things to come.

Please. Uva had a player murder another student and that coach is still there.

So I hope it's possible this isn't as bad as it first appeared. The SL article gives me some hope.

...or maybe their "sources" simply haven't come through this time.

I'd say the odds of Flood coming out of this alive are slim. Very slim.

I agree. Even if Bobby Knight was our HC, the same shit would have happened.
 
What happened to the two females? If this is worst case as it sounds, is the girl alright?
 
Flood has not lost control of this team or any of the players. He was the one who told Carroo to go outside and punch some chick.

Because he's taking advantage of one of the biggest crises in Rutgers football's history to shill subscriptions to this website.
