Coach Mack Brown has suspended three year starting cornerback Tarell Brown and reserve safety/special teams Tyrell Gatewood. As I mentioned yesterday, these two were arrested as passengers in a car, driven by a former a Texas player, in which police found marijuana and a handgun. It is unclear how long the suspension will last, but it is certain they will miss one of the biggest games in their careers. Lesson for the day, choose your friends wisely, or at least don't ride in their car...
Coach Mack Brown said the following,"I would like to ask that everybody respect their privacy and understand that there is a legal system. And the American way is to make sure that everybody has an opportunity to go through that system and has their rights before it's determined whether someone is guilty or not. And on the other hand, we have to look at four different factions as a head football coach when you're looking at issues: number one, you have to look at the legal system and cooperate with the authorities completely. Number two, you go through the university because that is who we work for. Number three, you are concerned about distractions for your football team and you want to move forward because No. 1 is playing No. 2 this weekend, and it's such an exciting game for all of us. And number four, you care about the three young men that were involved and their families."
