Tropical Bowl / Daytona Beach / Ruiz Offensive MVP

[KilrpengWin]

I have never felt the need to condemn or support these young men who made a mistake in judgement  I was young and stupid at one time, and made even worse mistakes   One day they will regret it and ask for there teammates forgiveness if they have not already  Can't we forgive them ourselves and move on?  Sometimes it's difficult but the Christian thing to do.  I apologize beforehand to those who will lambaste me for trying to inject some religion here.

[YSUGO]

Sorry this isn't about forgiveness. It's about responsibility and from a team standpoint Ruiz let the team down.  The issue here isn't about race and if he was profiled.  It's about right and wrong .  I don't want to here the bs it's just weed or whatever it's against team rules and illegal right now in the state of Ohio.  We have to have accountability here and he failed as a person and as a Senior  and let his team down .  It's just plain selfish and stupid.  He hurt himself and the team.

YSUGO, have you ever broken any laws?  I suspect you have.  You're probably a felon.

Don't worry, so am I and every else who is on this forum. 

Martin was pulled over for not using a turn signal.  A turn signal. As far as marijuana goes, it's illegal because of a racist government. Alcohol is a far more dangerous drug, so it has zero to do with public health.

IDK if he tested + for PEDs.  But if Martin's offenses are limited to a plant and not using a turn signal, than good grief.  Bo's poor clock management is a far worse offense.

Here is the game broadcast for those that are interested

I do not believe that Ruiz tested positive for weed with the others. It was the gun possession. The university set the precedent of 1 semester suspension this past summer. Or, more likely he was not cleared in time. Thus Martin could play in this all-star game, but not the final. I could be wrong here, but everything points this way. It is equally possible that the NCAA is not involved in this game.

I too feel let down & that Ruiz let us down with his actions ...not much else you can say; but at the same time ...he is probably the best back to ever wear a Penguin uniform and I am very honored to have watched him for 4+ years.

Again ... Stay off race & politics. Don't forget we have a BS board down below this one.

Your wrong

Of all the things you said Penguin Nation...to feel sorry for him just really pisses me off.  That very mindset is the reason the country is in the position it's in & so many kids grow up thinking there's no right or wrong and everything is about themselves and their feelings.  Do you feel sorry for Aaron Hernandez too?  I mean at some point you have to be responsible even if it's who you're hanging around with.

Are you serious?  You're comparing Ruiz to Hernandez?  Why not Ted Kaczynski?

IMO, guns and MJ and not using a turn signal isn't the problem.  It's government's creation of vote plantations, and creating a culture of dependency.  It was done intentionally by sociopathic politicians and has wrecked the black family and black communities.

No I'm not but it goes back to being responsible and who you hang out with.  One thing leads to another.  He made bad decisions whether you think so not & hurt the team.

Nation: What does any of your "Godfather" dribble have to do with the topic? The guy played well in this game; that is what the topic was all about. He screwed up and a lot of people feel let down; this is not a thread about the treatment of people in America. Take that stuff to a non-sports site.

Ruiz has been here 4 plus years and still doesn't get it. Coaches talk to the players all the time about the dangers of Guns, drugs, violence, and just doing the right thing on a daily basis. Watching Lee Wright ride the bench for a full regular season because of improper gun use did nothing to change his mind. The team was tested just before or after the Jacksonville St. game and it did nothing to change his mind on getting a little high in the car on his trip to Tallmadge. The arresting officer did follow proper procedure. One of the leading causes for not using a turn signal or head lights is impaired driving (some people just plain forget). The smell of pot will create an automatic car search. I do like the fact he told the arresting officer the truth on both fronts..He needs help and I hope he can find it somewhere..It would be interesting to see how well received he was by his teammates..before and after his arrest!!

WHO CARES ANYMORE. It's over and done with. He is gone and no longer with this program. Move on people.

 About time for 1AA or one of the other administrators to move this to the non-football area! 
This is pretty disgusting trash talking if you ask me, and I usually put up with a lot!
If it says "black people" anything, or "white people" anything, it is racist, and IMO, there is no place for racism in football or on this blog.

So that Tropical Bowl sure was some game huh?

A real nail biter.  Had me on the edge of my seat the whole game! 
Actually ran it like a scrimage.  Players drifting on and off the field etc.
