WT football player suspended on drug charge

From the Amarillo Globe News


West Texas A&M senior defensive end Bryan Braman has been suspended indefinitely from the team after he was charged with manufacturing a controlled substance, hallucinogenic mushrooms. Details about the arrest remain sketchy Monday, but WT head coach Don Carthel confirmed the suspension and had no further comment. Braman has been released on $5,000 bond after turning himself in to Randall County authorities.
Braman, one of the top defensive linemen in the Lone Star Conference, did not play in the Buffs’ 48-17 win over Tarleton State Saturday at Kimbrough Memorial Stadium. The 6-foot-6, 230-pound lineman from Spokane, Wash., played in four games this season, totaling 20 tackles, 1.5 sacks and three quarterback hurries.

In a related matter, WT defensive lineman Simi Kuli was reinstated to the team last week following a brief suspension. According to court records, Kuli has pleaded guilty to misdemeanor drug and theft charges. The defensive lineman had five tackles and recovered a fumble in Saturday’s win over TSU.

Don't worry Buffalo fans, he will probably be back in time for the ACU game. Don't forget Kuli is already back (2 games) after pleading guilty to drug and theft charges. Did any of the guys guilty of the break in and assault miss any games? No they didn't. Donny C just wants to win, and it doesn't matter how he does it. Does it Buffalo fans?

The break in guys were all acquitted, after they had lost their scholarships and been suspended the whole spring semester.

The chief of police even said Kuli was a victim of circumstance. He never failed a drug test. Passed two of them actually, and was suspended for 2 games. What do you think the guy deserves, the electric chair?

Braman will not play again. So you don't have to worry about him... little anonymous Wildcat fan!!!

You must be Buffalo Chip. Bend over to defend the thugs, don't let something like facts get in the way. And no, ACU has been no better. But it looks like they've slowed down on distasteful recruiting. Maybe their admin was embarassed by all of the negative publicity. They're all yours and Bill Maskills now.

From your very own Amarillo newspaper last October 9th. Does this sound like acquittals to you?
