When it rains it pours. Now Western Michigan...

Stitt just announced on the Big Sky conference call that Counts will not play Saturday night due to off the field issues. So maybe he will sit him every game until this is settled or guessing this is going toward the 30% suspension mandate in the code until determined if he is gone for good.

I still think it's interesting that he's holding him out if this game but letting him practice. Will be VERY interesting if he plays against UNI...

I just listened to the conference call. Stitt's verbiage was, "counts will sit out Saturday until we figure out more about his off-field issues". So I really do think this is pointing directly at the student athlete conduct code that I referenced. That until they know more (official charges) their hands are tied. My guess is counts will sit out until it's rectified. If dropped to a misdemeanor it's a 30% suspension, meaning sit out 3 games. Guessing these games he is sitting out will count toward that 30% mark directly from the code. If kept at a DUI, im being told he will be dismissed.

This was literally just printed in the missoulian from AJ on the upcoming game vs SFU. He had a part that addressed the Counts situation. What I've said all along, right down to the fact it's is getting close to resolved (had some inside help on that one):

"The lone exception is likely running back Joey Counts, though his circumstances don't relate to health. Counts, who has practiced with the team all fall, will not play Saturday because he has legal issues pending in both Missoula and Lake counties, Stitt said.

Counts was arrested for DUI in Lake County in July after a misdemeanor trespassing conviction last November in Missoula. His hearing on a petition to revoke his suspended sentence from that initial arrest has been pushed back until next Thursday. If granted, he'd face a suspension of 30 percent of the season, per the Montana student-athlete handbook. If he is convicted of DUI, a third Category II violation of UM's code of conduct, the senior would be dismissed from the team."

You taking UM against UNI? If so I have a proposition for ya. I think you and I made a bet way back when about who would win the next chipper between UM and MSU, bottle of booze I think. Let's keep that in place and bet a bottle on that game. I'd say let's meet up at the party bus to pay up but he sold it!!
