I can understand why some people would be fed up with the bad decisions Cliff seems to make. I cant speak for anyone who said "kick him off the team" or "what an idiot" but I would venture to guess that its more of the overall accumulation of his bad decisions, than wanting him gone for a simple traffic violation.
As a side point.... The NCAA is sniffing around our program right now and this year we have some serious 5* recruits looking at the OOOOO! I'd hate to have potential scholarships yanked or probations for bowls while things are going so well. It would be helpful if little stupid smoke fires could be avoided till everything settles down. Ellis and Shaq are reasons enough to not get into any freakin trouble off the field. Those two could anchor our defense for four years!!!!
BTW, even if the family is 100% right, don't expect the charges to be dropped. If the DA is really out to make an example of Harris, they will argue that he is now an Oregon resident and it is illegal for him to have a California license. Either Harris caves, or this will drag on for months. Either way, those who want to slam the program will get their chance.
