Share  Print Share Del.icio.usDiggTwitterYahoo! BuzzFacebookStumbleUponUniversity of Houston football coach Kevin Sumlin has dismissed wide receiver A.J. Dugat and offensive lineman Ari Tatum from the team.

Sumlin announced the dismissals early Wednesday evening, citing “a violation of team policy.”

Dugat, a Parade All-American from Dayton, was the most high-profile member of the Cougars' 2009 recruiting class. As a freshman, he caught 14 passes for 170 yards, rushed once for 15 yards. He also filled in returning kickoffs and punts.

Tatum redshirted upon his arrival in 2008 and played sparingly this past season.

He would ook better in LU Red! ;D

With Tyrik Rollison transfering from Auburn to SHSU, it would be wild to see he and Dugat hooking upfor the next three years. Who would've thought watching that State Title Barnburner between Sulphur Springs and Dayton that thos two might play together someday? Food for thought!

I pray he figures things out very soon and wish him the knowlege to pursue his dreams whatever they are.Talented as a football player is not as important in life as having a career minded goal to reach for.Hope he makes better decisions and turns things around.

Sad turn of events I just heard from a co-worker.  AJ was already on probation for hitting someone with a bat, so now pulling a gun on someone else didn't set to well with the university.  He might look better in Liberty County stripes, not LU RED!  Go Cardinals!!!!!!!!!

I had heard about the bat and gun, but was told it was just rumors and nothing had been confirmed, yet.

[font=Courier]Standout player??

Hope that was sarcastic Buc....I went to 5 home games. He didn't do much at all except waive fair catches on punts. They won't be missed.[/font]

really?  he was their top recruit, a parade all-american and blue chip athlete

he was expected to vie for a starting spot in the wide open spread at UH in '10...he learned the scheme in a secondary role and it was speculated he would have a 1000 yard season...

he was a true freshman...on a huge stage...it's impressive he knew when to call fair catch and actually catch it...

i'd say they had something invested in him, and he'll be missed

no doubt.... I'll take 12+ yds a touch out of a true freshman. I hope the rumors are just rumors and AJ can find a way to continue playing.

Regardless, he still knows right from wrong and those players definetely know what the coaches and university expect from them, at all times.  Kids would kill to have that athletic ability and opportunity.  Hopefully he'll get it figured out because he has lot's of fans pulling for him.  As we all know, every community has that group of athletes that were should of, could of, would of's.....let's hope Dugat doesn't fall into this group.

I'm sure UH is disappointed, but not overly surprised.  It seems he had school issues before he ever enrolled.  They had to know that they were taking a chance on the kid.
[/quote]I think you are correct---A.J. is one that will either make to the NFL or wind up back in Dayton hanging around in front of Brookshire Brothers grocery talking about how good he was in High School-----------A.J. had better get it together or he is facing a long hard road. I hope this has gotten his attention and he turns it around.

One word.."BONEHEAD"...Any kid would kill for the opportunity given to him and a free education to boot.....Hope he gets his act together if not, there will be another "good" kid ready to fill the open slot.. Most of these kids have been pampered and coddled their entire lives becauese of their athletic ability. Welcome to the real world young man.

    • We'll see. I don't trust us. 
    • Starting pitching has been shaky the last few weeks due to some injuries outside of Hagen Smith.  He goes tomorrow, so y’all should be fine 
    • Manchin may get it but any mention of the radical left that wanted to get rid of the filibuster and end almost 220 years of history because the Democrats are mad?  The House and Senate are obviously different legislative bodies with entirely different election processes and rules for a reason. The House can vote on laws with a simple majority vote. The Senate put rules in place that it would make it much tougher to pass laws. Laws should be difficult to pass. The Senate is often the holdup of the right and left. It takes 60 votes to break the filibuster so any law will almost certainly require agreement at least in part, from opposing sides of an issue. Because they can’t get laws passed, the radical left is like a baby having a tantrum and wants to change over 200 years of history and make it potentially ridiculously easy to pass laws. I have seen current poll maps and it is possible for the Republicans to sweep into complete power in November but by the tiniest margin. That would possibly mean that a single vote margin in both houses could enact what you might call the radical right laws. There would be nothing that the Democrats could do to stop any legislation whatsoever if the left (they are all radical, minus Manchin) got their filibuster rule changed.  That is where the current filibuster comes into play as any new law would require several Democrats to agree with the majority Republicans and vice versa.  Do you want the potential for your radical right to have free rein as the radical left wants by killing the filibuster or is the radical left just as (if not more) dangerous? Let’s see if we have a history in this area? Oh yeah, the Democrats changed the rules in the Senate to allow federal judges to not have to overcome the filibuster. Obama was not getting his federal judge nominations passed and being angry, they changed the rules instead of nominating more moderate justices. They were warned that it would come back to bite them. They didn’t care and chose the nuclear option to change the rules. Oops! Any guess how Trump got all of his Supreme Court nominees passed against strong Democrat opposition? The Democrats got rid of the filibuster for federal judges after another tantrum   So when you are so worried about the radical right, are you equally concerned in what the radical left is always doing by changing rules and history which were put into place just for situations like we are in? So while Manchin gets it, what about his other 50 colleagues (49 + Harris)?  What concerns you more, Abbott and Paxton or the Democrats who want to make it to where if the Republicans do take over, they can go wild… at least in your mind? 
    • MODS please remove that ISD twitter link! I had no idea it would copy the whole posting. I only highlighted the portion about the venue change. Sorry about that!
