Dedrick Mills dismissed

Oh well, that's a whole frickin off season of feelin' pretty good gone in about 1/1000th of a second. How techish. Fook. Just fook.

Standby for rant.

[Rant] I didn't read most of this thread because it is 9 pages already. Here is the deal. I love CPJ but I can't help but feel a lot of this is his fault. The reality is that Marcus Marshall was the better B-back last year. While Mills was busy being a dumbass, MM was being a badass. Mills was suspended for 3 games last year. Everytime he came back he was the starter again. I don't blame MM for transfering. Why would you sit on the bench when you should start? öööö you CPJ. [/rant]

I think Marshall was definitely a better home run threat, and by the end of last year just as tough of a runner.

However, he got beat out of his spot because a freshman hustled so much harder during practice and blocked better. Marshall never bowed up enough to get his spot back. I have heard that he didn't particularly like the offense and wanted to be "the man" somewhere else.

Does he maybe stay if CPJ leaves him as the starter despite Mills noticeably superior performance in practice? Maybe.
 
Mills ain't really dismissed. Johnson just messing with Butch.

4D Monopoly, amirite?
 
Johnson said that he couldn’t think of a school to which he would block a transfer other than perhaps an opponent on this season’s schedule. Tech’s non-conference opponents this season – a transfer within the ACC is highly unlikely, as Mills would also lose a season of eligibility after sitting out – are Tennessee, Jacksonville State, Central Florida and Georgia.

Sounds like no UGA for Mills. I thought Johnson previously said he wouldn't block any transfer. Maybe that was just because we wanted JJ Green.

it is NOT illegal to fail a drug test. that is why when probationers test positive it is not a NEW criminal charge but just a violation of their probation.

It is not a federal or state crime to actually have drugs in your system (however having a baby, driving, flying a plane, and/or etc with drugs in system may be a crime)

I don't quite agree with the way you've phrased it. Using drugs is a crime, and failing a drug test is evidence of a crime.

The reason probationers don't get charged with a new offense is prosecutorial discretion. The legal process to prove a violation of probation terms is much easier for the prosecutor than proving a whole new crime, and usually results in a sufficiently punitive penalty to the probationer. So prosecutors naturally take the easier path.

You can bet that if they want to charge you with something and you fail a drug test then they will charge you with using the drug. Then you get to claim it was a mix-up at the doctors office etc.
 
This is the greatest troll of CPJ's career. Dedrick is actually starting against Tennessee! This is a total smoke screen job to F with the Rocky Toppers!

People fail drug test as part of job screenings by the hundreds, I've never heard of a failed drug test leading to criminal charges unless it was in conjunction with driving a vehicle or operating some other heavy equipment where drug use could likely put others lives in danger. I know we have drug possession laws, and under the influence laws, I'm not so sure we have 'drugs in your system' laws.

@aeromech is right, using drugs is not a crime.

For example in federal law:

As used in this section, the term "drug, narcotic, or chemical offense" means any offense which proscribes the possession, distribution, manufacture, cultivation, sale, transfer, or the attempt or conspiracy to possess, distribute, manufacture, cultivate, sell or transfer any substance the possession of which is prohibited under this subchapter.

They do this to allow addicts to seek help because they can admit use without risk of arrest. Otherwise admitting to use would be a crime so you could be arrested at a 12 step program when you say "Hi, I'm Joe and I'm a meth addict."
