Great News for Ball State Football...(Please Note the Sarcastic Tone)

Well, folks, there is great news today for the struggling Ball State football program. Not only has Dante Ridgeway declared himself eligible for the NFL draft...Adell Givens, probably the 2nd best offensive player on last years team and the person that Brady Hoke was probably planning to carry the program this coming season, has been kicked off the team.

Now, here's the part that bothers me the most...Hoke did not indicate a reason outside of Givens violating team policy. Well, Cardinal fans want...and deserve to know the reason. Is Givens gone because of academic reasons? Is Givens gone because of drug use? Is Givens gone because of some kind of trouble with the law?

Seeing as how pathetic Ball State football has been in the last several years, when one of the top players is dismissed from the team...people deserve an open, honest explanation from the program.

Well, I guess this looks like it will be another "promising, rebuilding" year for the Cardinal football program. Maybe we'll go .500 for the season...maybe, just maybe!!!
