Boise St. QBs suspended from Hawaii Bowl for urinating from balcony

[Harry]

Boise State quarterback Joe Southwick says he was sent home from the team's trip to the Hawaii Bowl for something he didn't do.

Both Southwick and fellow quarterback Nick Patti were suspended from the game for violating team rules, and while Southwick has been sent home, Patti has since been reinstated. On Sunday Southwick told KTVB in Boise that he'd been sent home for urinating off a hotel balcony, though Southwick maintains he did no such thing.

Southwick says it was another Boise State player who did it, and that he witnessed the player doing it on Thursday evening. Southwick then found out he was being accused of doing it on Friday, and also admitted he lost his temper when he found out he was being sent home.

"It just turned to finger pointing, and it ended up being three people against one person saying something," said Southwick. "And I guess the temper tantrum of one person didn't look good and there was no investigation. This was an absolute rushed decision, probably made in about 20 minutes."

Southwick even took a polygraph test to clear his name, saying he wants to share the results of the test with Boise State coaches and administrators.

As a player, you have to be careful not to piss off the coaches. Apparently you have to be careful not to piss off the balconies as well.

I don't see them getting back to what they were the past decade.

Well, well...if that isn't a pisser! Coaches quoted as saying "No big thing!".

There used to be a d-bag in my political science classes that would wear a matching Bosie State hat - tee shirt combo. Wonder if he has ever pissed off a balcony.

It might have been a miscommunication issue. They could have been standing on the balcony drinking when someone pointed to the other qb and said "Your an eight." (Patti's number). He could have misunderstood and thought it was a challenge.
