Step away from the ledge. We haven't played a game yet. It's not going to be a great year IMO, but at the same time it will reveal a lot about Chizik and our future. Fourth year his recruits his schemes and back to hard nose football. If we lose 3-4 games but are competitive i'll take that as improvement. Defense comes out tough and Frazier is worth a shit with a better line we lose 2-3 games I'm ready for next year. We suck as again, start the jet up.
-
I highly doubt Dismukes will miss any games. I'd be willing to bet that Chizik can find other methods to
punish him for being a dumbass.

As much as it will hurt i hope Dismukes sits. Hope he doesn't even travel.
Double dumbass on him.

Triple.
The starting center with a ton of hype and looked at as the leader of our young offensive line and a week before the game, he's out getting drunk in public?
The one positive is that his backup had a hard time deciding to be a football player or be a doctor when he was recruited out of high school. He may not bring the physical aspect of Dismukes game, but he should know the calls and the plays.

The worst part of this incident, it was at a fraternity party with about 10-15 other Auburn players, most of them were Seniors too. They should've gotten him out of there and took his ass home as he was being loud, obnoxious, and getting up in people's faces.

Quadruple.
At least Chizik didn't arrive at the frat house and bow up to the frat guys that live there.

Nada. Its been pretty quiet deal actually.
-
Would PI arrest follow the same steps as it would with say drugs? If so, and if this is
Dismukes first offense, then he will likely get counseling. I believe its the second offense that suspension comes into play. Third offense is dismissal from the team.
-

Agreed. I guess he felt untouchable since he was pretty much the only guy guaranteed a starting spot on the line.
Send a message and leave him in Auburn next week.

I think Phillip Marshall just solved all of our problems:
You are bigger or stronger or faster than most people around you and probably have been since you were young. When you did great things on the field, everybody wanted to be around you. A teacher might have looked the other way when you got out of line.
When you started trying to decide where to play in college, it was like a dream. Famous coaches came to your house. You and your parents went to college campuses and were treated like royalty.
Now you are a college football player. Students' heads turn when you walk by. The owner of the bar on the corner likes for you to come in because other people come in just because you are there. So what if you are under age? Grown men twice your age wait to talk to you after games. Reporters interview you and take your picture.
But here's what you need to understand: In the grand scheme of life, none of it means a thing.
You are no better than the 140-pound kid who sits beside you in class. The chemistry major who has never made a B in his life has accomplished more than you have.
I know, I know. You've worked hard. You work extraordinarily hard almost every day of the year to go out on that field 14 times. Millions watch you play. You deserve credit for that hard work, for all the things you have done to be where you are.
But in the end, you are just a guy.
Being successful is about hard work, talent, dedication, determination, support from others. And it's about loyalty. That's true if you are an athlete and it's true regardless of what you do. If you are a college football player, especially a really good one, lots of people are counting on you. Your teammates are counting on you. Your coaches are counting on you. The legions of fans who make it possible for you to have the best facilities, the best of everything, are counting on you. If you mess up and get arrested, you don't just embarrass yourself. You embarrass your parents, your brothers, your sisters, your grandparents, your aunts and uncles, your high school coach. You embarrass them all.
It's not an easy road you have chosen. The kid next door that parties all night can get arrested and nobody will know it but him and his parents. If you get arrested, it will be all over the Internet in a matter of minutes. They'll talk about it on ESPN. Opposing fans will laugh at you.
You have a magnificent opportunity, one that millions would give almost anything to have. You have an opportunity to be part of something special. But it comes with a price on and off the field.
If you're willing to pay that price, you'll have friends and joyful memories that will last a lifetime. If you aren't will to pay the price, if you make bad decisions, don't blame anyone else.
It's on you.

Btw, it had more to do with the APD than it did with Reese, apparently after the shooting, the Police Chief wants to crack down on underage drinking and is handing out PIs to all of the underage students that are caught.

Are you sure that it isn't part of the REC conspiracy? Of course it couldn't have been Dismukes' fault. If it is as you say, I wonder how many other people at the frat house were arrested with him....

AUBURN, Alabama – Auburn coach Gene Chizik suspended center Reese Dismukes has been suspended following an arrest around 2 this morning for public intoxication.
"I am very disappointed in Reese Dismukes for his irresponsible behavior last night," Chizik said in a statement. "This kind of behavior will not be tolerated at Auburn and I have suspended Reese as a result of his actions."
Chizik didn't say how long the suspension would be, but it will at least be through the first week of the season.
Auburn will open the season a week from today against Clemson without its center who won freshman All-American honors last season. Clemson will be without star receiver Sammy Watkins, who was suspended over the summer following an arrest for possession of marijuana and prescription drugs.
Auburn police arrested Dismukes on East Magnolia Avenue in Auburn. He was released on a $300 bond.
Sophomore Tunde Fariyike, who played sparingly last season, is the backup center.
Chizik announced Wednesday he had suspended backup receiver DeAngelo Benton for breaking undisclosed rule. He did not announce how long Benton would be suspended.

I'm not so sure that it warrants a suspension, but you have to give credit to Chizik for laying down the law.

I'd run the whole team for this one too.
This shit has to stop. Someone has to start taking this football team seriously.

I agree if he doesn't get this shit stopped asap he can lose the team.

Did I say it's a REC conspiracy? No. If I would've said it's a REC conspiracy, then it was a REC conspiracy....got that? Good.
A curfew has been set at 11:00p. Coach Chizik needs to have â€a talk†with the AUPD, get them on the same page. It'd be interesting to see if it was the same officer that arrested Benton.
-

Shit happens, and a coach can't hold every player's hand 24/7. But, this may be step 1 of what you're talking about. Suspending a starting OL a week before Clemson is a pretty good message to the team. And I'm sure at this point Chizik is fed up with the bullshit. I'm guessing that's why he handed the suspension out.
-
You look at the crimes and the punishment that Chizik is doling out, and there's no way a rational person can say he's soft on discipline.
The REC conspiracy comes into play with the fact that the local media has been dying to paint the program as inmates running the asylum. Complete free-for-all of anarchy. Even when the football players are victims of something as tragic as a shooting from an outside party, they desperately twist it to support the narrative of a program run amok. It's still certainly not as bad as it was at Bama right when Saban took over in 2007, which he handled by handing kids ice creams. But that doesn't fit the narrative.
That being said, at some point the arrests, no matter how petty the crimes may be, do actually start to become as embarrassing to the program as al.com desperately wishes it to be.

IMHO, the act itself doesn't warrant a suspension. I mean who knew, college kids drink and get rowdy! The fuck? The charge doesn't even amount to a misdemeanor, it's just a "violation". Max penalty is $200 fine and up to 30 days in jail. Never ever seen anybody given jail time or more than a $100 fine for PI. My standard is $50 fine and court costs. Have heard nothing of Dismukes having other problems. First offense shouldn't be a suspension.
That said, Chiz knows all eyes are on Auburn, and it won't be perceived that he did anything unless the punishment is sitting for a game at least because people can see that, and know it happened. They can't see any "in house punishment".
-
Also, this kind of petty shit didn't used to amount to an arrest in the "good ole days". Fucking stupid that it's come to this, and AUPD couldn't have found another way to handle it.
-
It was on East Magnolia? Definitely not at a frat house. Wonder how far east, must be right there downtown. A couple more block and you hit Ross and take a left and there's popo central.
Not sure what it takes to get a public intoxication arrest these days - never been cuffed myself (other than by this six-foot blonde girl back in high school)
-
As bad as I hate to lose him for Clemson, glad he is staying home. Only a soph but he's gotta be a leader. Most important position on the o-line could make the difference in the game. It happens.
-
I have no idea how big of a loss this is but Fariyike will do fine. After all, the same guy that graded the gamefilm of A.J. Greene also graded Dismukes.
-
Kudos to Chizik for being hard line with this stupidity.
Anyone know how long the suspension is?
-
"An unspecified length of time"

"suspended indefinitely" per the OA News
-
Well I guess the one silver lining is at least it happened a week before and not like 1 or 2 days before. The backup will have first team experience.

So, you're ok with losing a few games to "discipline"?

Two different things...my comment was related to this motion which was clearly done to send a message. However, I would have thought that message was already clear after Dyer, The Trailer Park 4, Pike, et. al.
If Auburn loses to Clemson it will be for more reasons than the starting center's suspension.

John Sullen might get the start at Center.
The OL this upcoming weekend could look like this...

I thought the proper response in a situation like this was to sacrifice a freshman who is going to redshirt anyway to take the fall. Leave the starters' names out of it.
Need to teach the police department down in Auburn how it works

On simple shit like PI, unless he's fighting with people or the cops, yeah, they need to find a "creative" way to deal with a drunk college kid that is also a starter on the football team. Some of you fucks are talking like you never got drunk, stupid, and rowdy in college.

I don't understand how a nineteen year old athlete could sully the good name of his school and risk his future with such irresponsible behavior. As a fan I expect them to keep their noses to the grindstone in order to perform at peak levels at all times as they were intended.

So far with CGC, this has seemed to mean forever. I think we need to tell him what unspecified and indefinite mean. Can't imagine this one being over 2 games.

And to the rest of the team. Its easy to sit someone that isn't necessarily a big contributor. When the said person and the rest of the team sees Chizik put his foot down with someone who plays a vital role
on the team, I would have to think thats an attention getter.

Time to stop the hysteria
Phillip Marshall
OK, I think it is time. It is time to stop acting like Reese Dismukes committed a criminal act or perpetrated some kind of evil on Auburn University.
It is time to stop acting like the actions of a few knuckleheads mean that somehow Auburn's football program is somehow careening out of control and becoming a bad reality show.
It is time to recognize that when a player at Auburn or anywhere else gets drunk, uses drugs, commits a crime or whatever that the coach didn't do it, his teammates didn't do it, he did it.
It is time to stop the hysteria.
Coaches are like quarterbacks. They get too much credit and too much blame. Coaches, at least most of them, don't go out and do stupid things. Players do. Coaches don't graduate players. Players graduate players.
If Chizik is to be blamed for the actions of a very few, if Les Miles is to be blamed for the actions of the Honey Badger and a fight that almost derailed LSU's season last year, should they not then be credited with the actions of the vast majority who do things right, stay out of trouble, go to class and work hard?
If Chizik is to be blamed for Reese Dismukes' stupid actions, should he not then be credited for Philip Lutzenkirchen's determination to do things the right way? Should he get credit for Lutzenkirchen befriending a 10-year-old cancer victim who'd had part of her leg amputated?
If Chizik is to be blamed for players who can't abide by the rules and get sent packing, should he not then be credited for the clear-eyed maturity of Emory Blake?
If Chizik is to be blamed for positive drug tests that show up in the SEC's toughest drug testing program, should he not be credited for Jeff Whitaker, Greg Robinson, Jay Prosch and Pat Miller playing baseball with handicapped kids in the Miracle League in Opelika, for Whitaker volunteering at Storybook Farms?
If it's Chizik's fault that Mike Dyer suddenly wouldn't do what he was supposed to do and threw away his Auburn career is it then to Chizik's credit that Justin Garrett volunteered for Habitat For Humanity and worked in blistering heat to help build a house?
Should Chizik get credit for Cam Newton going to read to elementary school children virtually every Monday of his time at Auburn?
Should Chizik get credit for T'Sharvan Bell volunteering with the Pine Hills Literacy Program summer camp/Greater Lee County Boys and Girls Club, reading to students and assisting with homework?
The truth is Chizik, beyond leading by his own example, deserves credit for none of those things. The young men who gave of their time, worked hard and showed their compassion deserve credit. And by the same token, it is not on Chizik that Dismukes got drunk, that someone else flunked a drug test, that someone else broke the law. That's on them.
I'm not trying to be a Pollyanna here and act like it's OK when good, hard-working young men do bad, inexplicable things. It's not OK, and they should and do suffer serious consequences.
But neither does it say they are beyond redemption, that they are bad people, that the programs for which they play are out of control, that somehow a top-level school that recruits the same players other top-level schools recruit is recruiting the wrong players.
I hope Dismukes, along with every other college kid who has gotten into trouble, deals with whatever issues he has in his life and reaches his potential as a player and as a person. He certainly has that opportunity. I and millions of others have been in similar places to where he is today and come back better for the experience.
But it's time to move on. Football season is upon us. It's supposed to be fun. I hope it is.

http://auburn.247sports.com/Article/PMARSHONAU-Time-to-stop-the-hysteria-87269
Pretty much spot on. Cam Newton won the 2010 NC, Gene Chizik went 8-5 the other 2 years.

Coaches, at least most of them, don't go out and do stupid things.
