The weed stuff isn't why he left SMU. I think it was the reason he went there that eventually caused him to leave. i remember Rice on periscope saying that they lied to him to get him to flip from UNT. If I had to guess, I would say that lie had something to do with them "recruiting" his brother.

He strikes me as the kind of guy you want with you in a dark alley.

Really glad he's on our side.

You're right. He's a good player, and insanely athletic for a lineman ... and possibly a little insane (in a good way), too. Good guy to have on your offensive line, or in a dark alley. 

Don't understand the venom he feels for Briggs, though. Briggs, I'm told, is a really good guy (and a pretty good player). Maybe there was stuff that went on in practice when he was at SMU, but even then, linemen usually have each other's back at all costs, don't they? I could almost understand if he picked out someone on the SMU defense and said he wanted to get THAT guy, but another OL?

Rice's rep when he was at SMU was that he was a good player but just wired a little differently than the rest of the human race. Doesn't seem to be anything to conflict that reputation.

Smoked weed, missed class, got dismissed.

college football would barely exist if players were dismissued for smoking and missing class.  College players get multiple chances  with testing.  I doubt SMU is any different.

So June jones, who barely cared about the team, all of a sudden cared in this situation?and got rid of a person on the 2 deep...

That doesn't quite add up.

Just think, it was bad enough that lazy ole June actually did something about it.

How did you get re-admitted?  I assume there is some sort of standard "I Dun Goofed and Now Daddy is Paying for a Library" form at SMU.

I did really well in "private tutoring" with my professors.
