I think George Stripling needs an attitude adjustment and a grip on life before he loses everything good that may be lined up for him. I've watched a great guy decline since his 1st season playing and the coaches at UofL were doing nothing to help him succeed. I heard the story's of him smoking weed but I don't think its true. That would be just plain stupid to smoke weed and be an athlete. The guy can't be that dumb. It's not too late for him. I hope he finds God or whoever he believes in and get on the right path. I will be a fan of his wherever he plays. He just has to learn that's all. He's still young minded.

He really messed up this time. I heard he has a kid so he can't be young minded. Well I hope thats not the case. I hope he reads this because he needs to get his life together. You can't be defiant in an organization. Especially your senior year. But like people say, you probably are better off getting kicked off the team because your playing time has been declining along with your ability to keep you stats up. You were a better player your freshman year than any other season.

I don't personally know Stripling but lots of guys are just that dumb. Petrino was a great offensive coach but it appears he left a lot of behavioral problems in his wake for others to deal with, right now nothing he has left behind suprises me.

why is this suprising? louisville is REJECT U anyway. any player outside of kentucky that attends that school is more than likely an unwanted in their home state because of these very issues. and they (u of l) don't have a proven history of reforming any of these guys: willie williams, rod council, and now stripling only to name a few recents. please take note troubled high school recruits and second chance freshman and sophmore D1 and D2 players, THIS IS NOT THE PLACE TO GO TO RESURRECT YOUR COLLEGE FOOTBALL CAREERS!!!

Well I know George Personally and I believe everything that has been said, His sttitude sucks really bad and he has a rude personality. He didnt apperciate the team at uofl and/or the coaching staff. Maybe this will be a wake up call, but maybe getting suspended the utah game should have been a wake up call. Dont u hate it when people take things serious to lightley? or maybe he needs to be back home.
