Question about the 10:30 curfew

Team tradition that the coaches know about. That doesn't mean they can go out and act an arse though.

word it is a yearly ritual of going out the last night of camp and breaking curfew...something the coaches seem to turn their head at.

though going getting into a fight makes it look horrible

Though, you usually tried to avoid drama on said nights...

novel concept.

The fight that happened is an indication of why there's a curfew in the first place. Nothing good happens after 10:30, and they don't want their players getting into any crap this close to their first game.

The military sets the same type of rules. They make these stupid minor rules. The guys in charge normally turn a blind eye but if anyone screws up, the person or the group gets arse raped.

i thought curfew was midnight but bed check was at 10:30?

hence the staff saying all the players were in their bed for bed check.

Does the staff really go as far as verifying that players are in bed?

i don't know who does it (GA's??) but i thought it was said that all players were in their bed for bed check. i wouldn't think bed checks are uncommon during game weeks or camp.

This!

agree. The bad thing is when you break the rules, and get caught,the team is affected. That's why the coaches set the curfew. LSU has no choice but to suspend or kick the players off of the team. I know people will say that's not the answer. But if this would have been any one of us, we would be in jail. If LSU does not want to punish the players, LSU's football program is no better than Ohio State. I know it sounds harsh, but if it were any other team we would say the same.

If you are going to make rules then there should be consequences for breaking them.The question I have is what made these players decide to break the rule.Did they feel from past experiences that the coaching staff really didn't strictly enforce the rules where they would suffer consequences for breaking team rules.The worst thing you can have is inconsistency in enforcing rules.If Miles is going to have players follow the rules then he damn sure better enforce them or the discipline of the team will disintegrate before his eyes.Consistency is the key.Apparently the only consistent thing about discipline at LSU lately has been inconsistency.If you want to destroy a team or individual, just try inconsistency in enforcing rules and standards of behavior.
