Halloween News - Raising Canes on Halloween - Washington Times
Sunday, August 24th, 2008It’s been decided because the front-runner for the job, redshirt freshman Robert Marve , is suspended for getting arrested last Halloween for “resisting arrest without violence and minor criminal mischief” according to the Miami Herald. The dubious part of this isn’t Marve’s actions (though it certainly sounds like he had a moment of stupidity), it’s that Miami coach Randy Shannon waited until this month to spring the punishment on him. But to a player, it’s easy to see how it might seem a little ridiculous that an incident that occurred more than nine months ago is being brought up now to mete out discipline. So aside from dubious decision-making on all fronts, it’s just one more piece of evidence it might be a good idea for football coaches to keep their players under wraps on Halloween — especially this year, when it lands on a Friday. The primary culprit in the Nationals’ 9-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs, Odalis Perez pitched shaky early and succumbed during a four-run fourth that sealed the game’s outcome. More Halloween News
