Marcus Thomas..

This is ridiculous. I am just reading that Marcus Thomas will be back in lineup for the LSU game. The same committee that suspended him for 5 games after his second failed drug test now thinks he has a valid appeal and has reduced its suspension to 2 games.

"The committee has heard an appeal from Marcus Thomas and made a recommendation to amend his sanctions," Meyer said in the statement. "The appeal process followed the proper procedures of the committee, which included a recommendation that is made independently by the committee and then approved by the athletics director and president of the university. Marcus still has some work ahead of him, but he has been granted the opportunity to play in the LSU game."

Wow, what a coincidence that it took until the LSU week for the committee to reinstate him. I am not naive enough to believe Urban didn't have a say on this and it sadly goes to prove that winning comes first even for a coach who claims to be a tough disciplinarian.
