CC suspensions talk of Colorado

Judging from the google searches from the day that lead to my site and the referrals from the DU Blog (I posted their story about the suspensions), the CC player suspensions are a hot topic among hockey fans in the state. Anyone's guess is as good as the next regarding what exactly one would have to do to get suspended until next season and basically kicked out of school (read: Cody Lampl). Whatever the case, the fact that no one at CC is releasing any information is just letting this thing run wild with rumors and stories, as I posted earlier. I tend to stay out of message boards simply because they seem to be full of over-opinionated and/or hyper-sensitive types that have nothing else to do but b*tch about stuff (ever read the comments on the DenverPost?!) So, as far as what the DU bloggers did to provoke an outcry, I could care less. they did, however, love the fact that I posted their "bounty story" on here.

As far as the suspensions themselves, the closest person to the team and information is Kate Crandall of the Gayzette and all she has said is the length of the suspensions, who it was and that "Colorado College president Richard Celeste cited privacy laws in declining comment Thursday on the school suspensions of two hockey players." according to the last printed piece in the paper. SO, that leaves all of us hockey fans to mock "Who knew that photoshopping Coach's face with Ron Jeremy's body was against Facebook's Rules?", and make funny yet obscene references to college frat hazing "CC hockey players learned that in Colorado a sheep is not a "consenting adult" as that term relates to sexual acts." Just a few of the funny guesses that are popping up on the DU blog. Judging from the recent news coming out of that ultra-liberal campus, the players probably did something "insensitive" to offend a minority group that doesn't even have one representative at the campus. Remember, this is the same president that said the student chants at games are "blatantly homophobic in nature" and went nuts over the blackface incident (something I went off on earlier), even if it is the highlight of the night for many of us fans. And, thanks to our DU friends, I have an amazing pic to go along with this whole ordeal. I think everyone just needs a big hug...

Internet rumors at their best

Still no word on why Colorado College has suspended Derek Patrasso, Cody Lampl and Chad Rau but that doesn't mean you can't throw your guess into the ring. Check out the "bounty" offered on the DU blog for correctly guessing the reasons!

If you haven't heard, 2 Tigers have been suspended, the biggest being Cody Lampl who has been suspended until January 2009 for a violation of student conduct, the school has been tight-lipped regarding just what occurred to deserve a year long suspension.
