That's a strange article...
Falcons suspend pair of linemen
Bowling Green coach Gregg Brandon said defensive linemen Michael Ream and Nick Lawrence have been suspended for breaking a team rule...
...Defensive back Vincent Corner is also suspended due to academic struggles.
ANOTHER AWARD: Quarterback Tyler Sheehan was named Mid-American Conference East offensive player of the week....
So what is this saying exactly? If you read it literally from top to bottom, it states that some players where suspended. Okay, I understand. Then the NEXT PARAGRAPH starts out "ANOTHER AWARD" Does this mean being suspended from BG's football team is an award?!

It was the second (another) MAC East POTW honor for Tyler. He got it in Week 1 against Minny.

Actually, I understand this; a bit a sarcasm on my part. The point is, another poorly worded article from The Blade. Did I mention we're glad Maureen Fulton is the UT beat writer now.

Timing was cute though with a guy on the AZZ board talking about UT being the minimum security facility while another poster is posting that SEVERAL BG players were in trouble. Feds don't seem to be all that involved around these parts either. Maybe in awhile...?

Several? Corner has academic issues and Lawrence and Ream are not dressing...Lawrence may be gone altogether. How is two or three kids "several"?

I don't think Boca's point in posting this article was to illuminate a bigger problem at BG; it's just info that MAC fans might be interested to know and impact they might want to discuss.

Nope...until guns are drawn, the feds or shady characters flinging free gorceries around hit the scene, I just don't care.....

If everyone has the piss out of there system can we discuss this? Frankly, I don't see it impacting the game with WKU this week and unless there are injuries, probably won't mean anything in MAC play.

Deep breaths...you are one with the universe..the center will hold...unless it's Lichtensteiger, he doesn't need to hold.
Actually, this will have no effect...or is it affect..no it's effect...on this weekend's matchup with the Hilltoppers of WKU. Ream is a vlaubale guy at DT, but he has yet to play this year and Nick Lawrence wasn't going to play this year anyway...he was third ofr fourth on the depth chart IIRC. Corner returned kickoffs and played some DB, but DB Roger Williams did a nice job filling in at both spots on Saturday.
