Bullock suspended, per Dez. Just what we need for our incredibly deep OL

#UConnFootball C Tyler Bullock suspended indefinitely for violation of team rules...

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

Perfect.

 

[Husky68]

Must have committed a random act of effective run blocking in practice.

 

[RedSoloCup]

The inmates will NOT run the asylum on HCTJW's watch.

 

[freescooter]

Often the translation of "violation of team rules" is he failed a drug test. Don't know for sure, but if I were to place a bet...though it is possible that they reviewed th game film again and discovered he actually carried out his blocking assignments properly, something nobody else seems capable of doing...

Edit add - Court date 10/15/13

Well, that was quick. Weist has his first off-field disciplinary action to deal with, and it's a doozy.

 

[minidarren]

Why didnt he just ask Tyler for a ride?

A DUI is a doozy Carl? It is a moronic offense, and totally worth the suspension...but definitely not a doozy. That would be used to describe being arrested for rape, dealing drugs or steroids, armed robbery..stuff like that.

No - I actually don't consider DUI, to be a minor thing at all. He probably won't be allowed back with the team until the court process is over, which basically means his career is pretty much done.

 

[UCDaveD]

As I learned from the Olander situation, I will reserve judgement until all the facts are heard.

I didn't say it was minor..said it was moronic. I guess we will agree to disagree on what a "doozy" offense is. And he deserves to ge suspended until his court case plays out.

 

[John Greene]

So does this leave us with a backup center hiking the ball and a true freshman QB who has never played a down. Can't wait to see the first snap.

 

[ibleedhuskyblue]

Bockeloh will probably be taking the 2nd team reps at center now behind Mateas.

I wonder who else they might move ?

Didn't Bullock play at RG this year too ?

 

[noeynox]

Give the kid a break! He's probably been on a Bender celebrating since PGDL, was fired.

 

[Srqhusky]

We r not big time football unless we can sweep stuff like this under the rug

You could have just said "Urban Meyer stuff". We would have known what you meant.

 

[BoatShow]

Never get why these kids don't use one of the dozens of sober ride services around campus. Think it's embarrassing to call? How embarrassing is it to have your DUI written about in the Courant's sports section? Heck, I once got laid partly because they lady I was taking home from Carriage thought I was "so responsible" for calling. They should assign sober drivers to groups of athletes like they do tutors.

 

[jdb50]

Bullock was not all in obviously. I hope the rest of the team learns from this and stands behind their word.

Also...Wednesday night? Bro...
