How do we let our 5th year QB get suspended on a school administered drug test the week of one of the biggest games we've had this DECADE.
Tommy is a patsy b#tch. This is the cherry on top of the sh*t mountain that is his tenure here.

PD is right, this is not on anyone but the idiot who acted stupidly.
I would be interested in knowing how this happens before our two biggest games of the year. What’s the drug testing process? Are tests done every week? Or did someone just decide now was a good time to test.
It’s 100% on the players but if I was the coach I would be warning the whole team during the year about this happening, especially as it gets close to critical games. I see nothing wrong with that.
If Smith and Hardy have 3 positives as mentioned on another thread, I’m wondering if that’s three in this season or over their careers.
The NCAA rules are specific and easy to find. Apparently the NCAA allows the school to police in house, but requires all results be passed on to them. This is why schools can't play around with the results and why schools ALWAYS say "for breaking team rules".
It’s common in various businesses and sports to have random drug tests. If your number comes up, so to speak, you’re tested, if you refuse you’re fired, if you fail, you’re disciplined. This was no surprise to the team. They had to have known there would be random tests either by conference or NCAA RULES.
JMar as the team’s focal player was an idiot and totally irresponsible.
Holtz should collect his gear.
Does seem like a self-inflicted wound. Ignorance is bliss.
I laughed as I read the title of this thread. It appears you were a student when you joined this board in 2004. Trust me, you have no idea what things were like in the late 80s and early 90s right after Tech joined the FBS. And it went way beyond the football team into even some women's sports.
To say things were crazy at that time would be an understatement. It makes this look like Romper Room.
I'm sure it happens, but I never heard of this happening to football players from other schools --CUSA schools, for example. It's just insane.
LA Tech continues to fail when its time to WIN. This is stuff that never happens. You know, kinda like turning the bowl bid down in 2012. Or, having 6 starting football players suspended only hours before the 2014 CUSA Championship game. Or, hiring a 23-yr old coach for the Lady Techsters. Or, losing 80 something yds on a bad snap against Mississippi State.
We continue to find ways to fail.
It's as if someone at LA Tech can't stand being normal. You just can't make this stupid stuff up.
And you wonder why Tech can’t grow its fan base.
