re: Keith Marshall at Frat Beach

I had heard that he wasn't making the trip but I'm completely blown away he decided to come down and booze during his week off (there is no photographic evidence he drinks, but let's assume here). Now, maybe he's decided on not coming back this year and has decided to just screw it for the rest of the year, but if he's ready to come back next week, I'm completely baffled he'd show up with such a blatant lack of respect for the team.

1.) He's a student and he wasn't playing this week (has likely been told he will be redshirting).
2.) He is over 21, so he's legally allowed to drink if he wants.
3.) He isn't the first player to go to frat beach (many redshirts and walk-ons do so).

Again, it's not like he did anything wrong, but it just shows a complete lack of focus from him and the team. Party in the off-season all you want, but for fall semester, try and be the best at what they gave you a scholarship for.

What did he have to focus on? Was he supposed to stay at home and watch game film or work out? He's a college athlete with a rare chance to legally have the same fun other college students get to do. Good for him for making the most of the weekend.
