After receiving a solid A this past week on his finite exam, Indiana University\u2019s backup quarterback Mike Austin was suspended from the team for “not living up to team expectations,\u201d as stated by head coach, Kevin Wilson.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u201cI can\u2019t believe one of our players took the time out of his schedule to actually study for one of his classes,\u201d said Wilson. \u201cIt\u2019s as if he doesn\u2019t give a single damn about our team. We\u2019re supposed to be a family and support each other, but he seems to think that means studying instead of bonding with his teammates naked in an ice bath for 2 hours after practice. Maybe if players were more committed, we would have actually beaten Penn State.\u201d<\/p>\n
When asked about the decision to prioritize athletics over academics, Austin revealed he has always enjoyed school. \u201cI always tried to balance my schoolwork with my sports playing,\u201d Austin said. \u201cI actually wanted to be an engineer until my dad signed me up for the football team after seeing his own regrets and missed opportunities in me during 5th<\/sup> grade.\u201d When asked for his thoughts on the suspension, starting quarterback Richard Lagow was only able to quickly say, \u201cI think that…\u201d before being called a pussy by his trainer and told to run a lap.<\/p>\n Flipside also received a formal apology from Austin directed to his teammates, saying he is \u201cvery sorry for letting the team down\u201d and that he \u201chopes they won\u2019t gorilla glue his ass together again.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By: Barry Vile After receiving a solid A this past week on his finite exam, Indiana University\u2019s backup quarterback Mike Austin was suspended from the team for “not living up […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":491,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[144],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-490","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports","has_thumb"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hoosierflipside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/football-940x626.jpg?fit=940%2C626&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7b5Hd-7U","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":364,"url":"https:\/\/hoosierflipside.com\/index.php\/2016\/09\/07\/family-of-roaches-discovered-in-memorial-stadium-locker-room-a-sign-of-good-hope-for-football-team\/","url_meta":{"origin":490,"position":0},"title":"Family of Roaches discovered in Memorial Stadium Locker Room a Sign of Good Hope for Football Team","author":"Hoosier Flipside","date":"September 7, 2016","format":false,"excerpt":"By: Barry Vile and Bismo Falcor Following the discovery of a fast-multiplying family of cockroaches in the Memorial Stadium locker room, experts and fans have been gearing up for the most successful year of Indiana University football in decades.
