Reading too much into it ... that he is leaving shouldn't be THAT surprising ... the timing though ... very surprisingMeek said:

This obviously means Pete took him off the travel squad

I think he was on the field when the were in the 2 minute drill vs usc and gave up the touchdown.TTJ said:
Yes, he's been all over the field on ST. But defensively, he's only gotten in on garbage time.WilburHooksHands said:
He could have told the coaches to fuck off or something at that point and gotten pulled. Pretty sure he was definitely playing special teams earlier, didn't he cause the fumble on the return?TTJ said:Agree with everyone who has pointed out the timing is just weird. But...in hindsight it does explain some stuff.
One thing that stood out to me on Saturday night was that UW was lining up at times with as many as FOUR safeties on the field at once. And let's be honest, other than Baker none of these guys is a world-beater: Rapp (true frosh that I love but who got *exposed* vs USC); Turner (juco txfr subbing in place of McIntosh, who also got exposed vs USC); and Beaver (who just plain sucks). At one point in Q2, I recall seeing Beaver on the field, turning to my buddy, and saying: "Wow, Pete will literally play *anybody* before Gardenhire." -

And yeah, Beaver is terrible.

Hmmmmmmm, senior Beaver.

Most likely scenario:
-Gardenhire failed a drug test
-Pete told him he was done for the year
-Gardenhire sees the writing on the wall that
A. Guys are coming into the program that are better than him (Rapp's emergence has already pushed him back on the depth chart) and
B. He will be in the doghouse.
One ripple effect this may have is that DB commit Keith Taylor is supposedly really tight with Gardenhire and Nate Dogg Jr and has been retweeting their stuff today. If Taylor decided to explore his options, there could be room for a guy like Palo-Mao (which might be just fine with Coach Lake).
Sorry for the TBS talk -
I wonder if he showed up high or something. Why would UW want to "randomly" drug test him?

The fact that everything seemed cool and then all of a sudden he decides to leave, does seem to indicate he got a third strike. Just yesterday he's tweeting deathrow, 10-1 shit. Probably been in trouble before and fucked up for the last time.BrickSquad said:I wonder if he showed up high or something. Why would UW want to "randomly" drug test him?
It's too fucking bad that it had to happen right now and I would have been downright giddy if it had been Wooching or Beaver instead. Scary that, AND Beaver.
