More disturbing news..

[G0B1GRED]

Hearing some rumors of Nate Gerry and Brandon Reilly being suspended for the first game...

 

[Pennsyhusker]

Would not surprise me with Reilly. Wasn't he arrested for DUI this past year at some point? My apologies to Reilly if that is not true. Nate Gerry? That would be a surprise.

 

[Tuco Salamanca]

Reilly did have DUI. Not surprised

Have not heard about Nate.

Maybe Gerry's suspension is just preempting the bogus targeting penalty that was inevitable.

 

[The.Bear.Lib]

Not happy about it, but not the end of the world for the opener. They'll still win.

Does his ejection in the bowl game carry over into the first game this year? I recall if it is for a fight, the suspension might carry into the next game, but I don't recall if that is the case for an ejection for targeting. Just speculating.

Usually, if I am not mistaken, it is a one half suspension. And he was ejected in the first half so my guess is that is not the issue here

 

[G0B1GRED]

Gerry's is non-football related. My guess is violation of team rules if true. Time will tell...

I hope it is for some minor violation like being chronically late for meetings or something similar. Or maybe he stole some bikes? Just kidding.

 

[maplesyrup95]

Man I hope this isn't true, even if it's only one game. Riley has gone through a lot of s*** lately.

 

[G0B1GRED]

The first game of the year always has suspensions for actions that happened last spring or over the summer. It's nothing new or out of the ordinary so I'm sure Riley will handle it like normal.

 

[OmahaSker]

Not huge hits for the opener but it still sucks. At least it's only 2 this year, was it 4 or 5 last year?

 

[shine003]

Lamar Jackson starts week 1? I'd be ok with that. I want to see him get some quality time this year if he's not redshirting

 

[Cornicator]

Gerry likes to sleep thru class.

 

[CC_Lemming]

What a disappointment with Gerry. Seniors are supposed to set the example. I'm glad it's not team related, but come on.

Jackson is at CB.

Agree. Gerry is a team captain. In that sense, its almost worse if it was "just late for meetings". Hopefully, MR will clarify. As a coach, you want your team captains to be a model of what the program expects.

 

[huntered]

not sure what the infraction was, but am glad I haven't lived a life as boring as some on here appear to have lived

 

[headcard]

Why are we referring to defections and suspensions as "disturbing news"?

 

[shine003]

Jackson is at CB.

I really need to start brushing up for the season...

 

[maplesyrup95]

World Herald and Journal Star reporters confirmed it just now on Twitter.

 

[scarletred]

Could understand Reiily but not Gerry.

 

[HBK4life]

Could understand Reiily but not Gerry.

Well, as seniors I don't think they are worthy of captain status now.

 

[ncaalover12]

Sorry if already posted but who will start in his place?

 

[Suvey101885]

Let's cut em both.

In all honestly though hopefully they take this wake up call to heart and start setting better examples for the youngsters.

 

[scarletneverfades]

I agree I think the status of either would significantly reduce the chances of being a team captain.
