A note on SEC suspensions and postponed games

I know there has been some talk about Texas A&M's one-game suspensions for LB Steven Jenkins and DB Howard Matthews and how the Aggies will handle them in light of the postponed season opener.
For reference, Florida went through the same thing in 2004. Linebacker Channing Crowder and safety Jarvis Herring were set to be suspended for the opener against MTSU, but the game was delayed until midseason due to Hurricane Frances. Florida held those suspensions until the mid-season game against MTSU, allowing both to play in Week 2.
So Texas A&M certainly won't take any grief from informed Florida fans if it opts to play those guys against the Gators.

Howard Matthews may not even be on the team by October 13.

Matthews hasn't seemingly handled the punishment well and may not make it. Jenkins has, and I hope like hell he plays against Florida.

No and he'll no, the message you send is we are here to win now. Not feel good about suspending a player for smoking pot.

Disagree. Long term matters more. Otherwise, why are we playing in the SEC? If you can't stick to your word, your principles, etc, how do you hold you players accountable for their actions or expect respect?

Maybe I missed it, but what is Jenkins suspended for?

They were being suspended for the latech game, so let them be suspended for the latech game.

Some guys deserve to be treated differently than others on this kind of stuff. Decent kid, hard worker, a player you need who is valuable = more slack. Arrogant, bad attitude, poor work ethic kid = drop the hammer. Hope Matthews watches Jenkins play vs. Florida while he serves his suspension, then rarely sees the field vs. SC State while Jenkins serves his.

You've got to have some sort of balance between discipline and talent to be successful. Otherwise, the inmates will run the asylum.
You've never played competitive sports if you don't understand how a couple of bad apples can ruin team chemistry if allowed to go unchecked. Don't care how they are punished, they just need to be punished.
