My opinion for what it's worth.....What happen to a Head Coach handling a situation on HIS team with a good ole fashion A$$ whipping???? Kids will be kids - nothing has changed since we were there - BUT the way we discipline them NOW....Who are we punishing here, THE TEAM!!!! Fight for what you believe in Bulldogs and know where your highly spirited teammates are at ALL TIMES.... :D.

I'm old school also. I can't remember a player every being suspended in 60-70's unless he was in jail. Some were released Friday to play and went back Saturday.

[Cool Hand Luke]

Unfortunately old school isn't accepted anymore.  Schools now have to send forms home for permission to inflict corporal punishment.  I know from personal experience that since the late 70's Nederland has suspended players from participating in extracurricular activities for drinking at school.  As a parent, my kid would not play again this season.  Doesn't matter what the school imposed.....I know you say it is punishing the team but my job as a parent is to raise my kid....furthermore, instead of punishing the team, it sends the message that playing is a privilege and self-discipline is necessary to play.  That can actually help a team.  It gives some other players the chance to step up.  Mistakes happen but there are consequences and the players knew that before they made the poor choice.  They weren't thinking about the team by their actions. Hopefully they learn from it and move on since they still have another year left after this one.

The kids now know more about technology than we did coming up, and I was in the first generation to be "raised" in the technology.  My daughter can pick up just about any game (or Iphone) and figure out in a few minutes.  She's not even 4 yet! ::)

Fact is that this became a public matter as soon as they chose to inform the public by posting it on the web. The punishment is justified.

Which adults were you referring to? Generally, the adults assigned to specific kids are called parents...so what's not stupid about your question or (now) your follow up comment.

If your children attend functions such as church events, club events, school events or any such thing they are generally under other adults than their parents, true?

Had it been any kid from BISD, it would be on all 3 local channels and all news papers and CBT would be blamed....
[/quote]
Because Beaumont never seems to truly deal with the problem.  They let the kid who got caught smoking weed in Orange play basketball.  Winning was more important that teaching a kid a lesson.  He ended up doing the same thing at college and lost the scholarship.  BISD has some responsiblity for not holding the kid accountable when they could have.  At least NISD is suspending them from extracurricular activities for 6 weeks.  Must not have been a coach who caught them though!!!lol
[/quote]

And Ned delt with their last 'problem' by letting those 3 kids swappin' head meds back on the team.  Yeah, they didn't play but they were on the team.  Now the kid that got arrested in class is another talk show but Ned is far from perfect when it comes to dealing with it's 'problems'.  A lot of those 'problems' get lucky and get hired on to place like where I work and we all have to deal with them
[/quote]
Respectfully, why don't y'all shut the heck up and quit complaining about something that has nothing to do about anything.  BISD kids, NISD kids, SISD, LISD ...they're no different.  Leave it alone unless you plan on proposing a solution instead of bi&%$ing the whole thread.
[/quote]

Sorry.  But I stated a biased position based on past history.  The solution has been implimented but we'll see if Nuemann will stick to it this time...
[/quote]
I am not going to to get into details on a forum what happen, but most, if not all the folks commenting on this post dont know the details. What I will say, it is not as bad as some of you may think. All the students involved were given same punishment by the school administation. Some of them dont play football or fall sports so they are not impacted from participating in UIL activities. Once they pay for what they did, they should be reinstated just like "no pass no play"... they will pay for their actions, move on. By the way both starters are Juniors. Also, someone mentioned that Nederland players in years past were dealing or doing drugs, whatever...  the ones involved in this issue was not. What started out to be harmless turned into a stupid decision.

The only difference between "then" and now is we didnt have twitter, facebook or youtube to post our stupid behavior on (thank goodness)...all we had back then was spraypainting our idiocy on the water tower.
