Both of them being out would be very bad for PSU, but having them healthy for Conference is the most important thing to me. Hopefully the team is learning from Mackins mistake at Sac State last year. Even if he didn't throw a punch and was unjustly punished, you have to realize what is at stake and turn the other cheek. Big Sky officials are not known for loving PSU,
Heres an old story from 2003
once a big sky official through two consecutive personal foul flags after a sack by Sagapolutele our senior D-Tackle. This meant he was ejected from the game a few minutes into the first quarter. The only minor detail was this was our last game of the year, and his last game of his career. Also his father who had never seen him play in college had flown in from his hometown of Honolulu HI.
The official didn't even think about it and I assure you Tupu's actions did not warrant the punishment.
Current players need to be on their toes, healthy star players can not be held out of games.
