OTF Premium CDC comments on Colin Simmons, Raleek Brown celebrations

[UTexas]

Ok, it’s been addressed by basically everyone so can we stop talking about it now? Mistakes were made and have now been addressed so it should be a done deal.

Thanks Del Conte - I agree 100%. This ain’t just a standard celebration penalty. I wonder what DKR would do?

Would not have happened.

How do you know they're not pissed about Nansen?

Did CDC make a statement about Nansen?

Would be nice if we would hold our political leaders accountable like we do college kids. Like handling of Epstein files for example. Agree with all we can not do stupid things that get us penalties. Needs to be addressed and stopped. But all these people acting like they are so offended, give me a break.

IMO … difference is 9.8 mill people watched the game, and every national analyst and publication has been talking about it plus CFB fans all over social media platforms. It reached a totally different level to where it publicly brought embarrassment to too many people that are key in helping this roster be put together, and the university. 

But in general, don’t disagree with what you are getting at

Because 7 million people didn’t watch the drunk driving on TV.   Some things can be swept under the rug, some can’t.

So it’s not about accountability and more about “my rich friends laughed at me so let’s drag the kids through the mud even more”

I hope it does not happen again. A) It’s vulgar and just no, B) I don’t want to see something like from Texas, C), I don’t want the penalty that will hurt the team, and D) I’m not sure I want to see what CDC could or would do if it did occur again.

Not when it tarnishes the reputation of not just our team, but our university, not to mention turned a 4th and long deep in their own territory for the opponent into a first down for them. Now obviously, Simmons is a freak athlete and a team leader. I'm confident he'll learn and it won't happen again.

This nails it, and shows why the team still makes a ton of penalties.  There’s no discipline.

Totally agree. I'm hopeful Sark recognizes that team discipline is lacking and will focus on it during the bye week.

Texas has taken more severe action against Nansen than a public reprimand. Neither Brown nor Simmons is expected to miss a game or a paycheck.

But why would he need to? It wasn't aired in front of millions of people? They handled it in house because it wasn't as public as Simmons and Brown.

Well I’d hope so.  One was a crime.  The other was a stupid penalty.

Coach Erwin nailed it on lunch with the coach. This type of conduct reveals a fundamental lack of discipline that if not addressed, will lead to us not achieving our goals for this team such that even the 5.5 sacks won't make up for it. Beyond that, treating it as being about just a 15yard penalty when it was a fundamentally wrong, indecent, and disrespectful action is an exercise in missing the point. 

agreed.   kids saw that and though they didn’t know what it was in most cases, they still saw it.   Coach Irwin hit the nail on the head.  if another excessive celebration penalty happens that is in a tight game, it will tell us it is a culture problem and the players aren’t worried about what the coaching staff can or will do.
