Jerry gets it and reports it, and up to Pitt to nip in the bun before it get worst for Pitt! This is not just a lesson for Bookser it is lesson fro all Pitt Recruits & Players as a Team. Taleni's Talent is not at Pitt and Pitt will deal with it! Bookser's is not in control either anymore his fate in now in others hands and Jerry nails why!

This is now the time for Pitt Players to be reminder that they play as Team based on what they do on and off the GridIron and not just at practices and game days? Aaron Donald, Nate Peterman, and now Browne live in Pitt Film Rooms Not Bar Rooms! Bars do nothing to advance Play, Teams, or Careers? Lesson for the remainder of the Players and time to get together and watch out for each other again to show up in 2017, instead of going to Required Probation Meetings!

Film Rooms Gentlemen, Aaron showed the way, open up Classroom Laptops, & Team Playbooks, follow his way not Bookser or Taleni! Connor became an Inspiration by concentraing on Class Rooms and Hospital Rooms visiting Children not Bar Rooms!

Pitt cannot rebuild a Football Program without Players showing up every day to be better on and off the field, not just on Game Days! Taleni's replacement now have new opportunities if they prepare for it at UPMC Facilities Workouts and Film Rooms!

Go make it happen, be a Smart & Good Fit for Pitt Not a Quit on Pitt!
Excerpt:

.............None of this is a good look for a program that largely rid itself of such embarrassing transgressions after coaches Paul Chryst and Narduzzi were hired this decade. Narduzzi was rough on Taleni, a projected starter who patiently waited his turn during four years of mostly sitting the bench. Narduzzi had no comment on the nature of Taleni’s case, other than a brief statement released by the school. But you have to believe he acted in the best interest of the program. The safe assumption is he will do the same with Bookser, a returning starter on the offensive line. Boyd and Blair (who is still on the team and could win a starting job this season) were suspended for one game for incidents that didn’t involve other vehicles. Bookser’s car hit two parked cars (one that was attended) and a building in Oakland. Is that worth a two-game suspension? Three? Will Bookser be forced to miss two of the most important games of the season — Penn State and Oklahoma State — during Weeks 2 and 3? Maybe. Much will depend on the court’s disposition of the case and Bookser’s amount of contrition, which is considerable, according to Narduzzi.Pitt has little experienced depth on the offensive line beyond the five starters. In the spring, Narduzzi had praise for backup guard Justin Morgan, a 6-foot-6, 355-pound redshirt freshman. August training camp and the regular season, however, present more serious obstacles.But what is most troubling to Narduzzi and his coaching staff is this: Bookser knows better. This didn’t have to happen. In this age of increased awareness of the dangers of DUI, getting behind the wheel of the car while impaired is what it is — stupid.

I think all this is valid, and indeed a tough situation for the coach. But find the minute level of scrutiny amusing ... "will hitting 2 cars equate that he miss two games or three?" Etc. All the earnest hand wringing! Yet it was just casually regarded as perfectly fine by the same media that another program let a coach rape kids for decades. Then hired a new one who clearly obstructed a rape case at his old job. Or that the program to the south has two clearly alcoholic coaches. The stuff written on Bookser and what Duz will do has already eclipsed the analysis of these these. But I guess they're only "local" on winning game days.

Pitt is Rebuilding its Football Program and one of the biggest problems is having enough depth with Experienced Players.

Pitt first 3 games will need all players ready for OSU, OKST & GT and can't afford to lose anyone and can decide Pitt 2017 Destiny for the season to go above 8-5!


Jerry's point was, New OC, New QB, New TE, and now New RG and it takes time to work those 3 positions to get together. If one is not there, dismissed, or suspended due to Bookser hurting Pitt the last 2 years. When Pitt could have develop someone that would be there on the Team in September, not Probation Rehab?

Bookser made a Commitment To Pitt and Pitt made a Commitment to Bookser, when Bookser is not there due to being stupid, he has in essence Quit on Pitt and that is on him, no one else!

Bookser needs a Saint Paul Blind Conversion Revelation, keep drinking and stay blind, or get off your knees the police put you in and Re-Committ to Pitt by doing the right things. Quit embarrassing yourself, family, university and team covert to be better.

This is completely fair and very disappointing. It is one thing to have a few beers and then go a few mph too fast on the way home and get a barely over DUI. It is another to drive completely wasted, hit multiple vehicles, run into a building, and be pulled out of the car at gunpoint. He is still a kid and it isn't like you lock him up and throw away the key, but Pitt has to dismiss him from the team. I'd be fine if he was temporarily dismissed and allowed to work his way back for the next season, but he (essentially) has to be gone.
