Everybody makes mistakes but technically this is a 4th chance, not a 2nd.
Typical of today's society, everybody thinks the next time is the second chance. When in most cases its the 5th, 6th, ........ 10th chance. Of course, they like to say, well the first time it was a burglary offense so they get a second chance to not have breaking and entering on their record. The next time its robbing a store, so now they see it as the kid gets a second chance to not do that particular crime again.
You see where I'm going with this, and this is the way many in our society view things today. They want a second chance on every stupid thing done rather than looking at a person after a couple of missteps and just admitting he's useless to our society the way he is and needs to be taught a tough lesson, before it cannot be corrected at all.

And these are just those things that have been caught and resulted in charges or whatever. You know damn well you can probably multiply this by xxx for the number of times he hasn't been caught/not run into something.
But, sure. By all means, give him another "second chance". From my experience in Charm City that will last about, uhhhh, a weekend.

RE: Kevin Olsen
Different environent , a lower level of football and a militant coach might help. This is nothing new , i always thought the movie the program was dramatic in its details about college football , but it wasnt that far off.

RE: Kevin Olsen
He still has to beat out redshirt FR Ellis Knudson. Connor Frazier will not be QB that's Forsure. We brought in Brennan last yr who was starting QB at Wisconsin and he flopped. Will be nice to see competition at QB.

Brennan never started at Wisconsin. He was 2nd string behind Russell Wilson and then when Danny O'brien transfered there he was bumped to 4th on the depth chart so he left. Never lived up to the hype.
