More bad news for the suddenly troubled Oregon football program. Linebacker Kiko Alsono will be suspended for the entire 2010 season following his DUI arrest last Saturday, according to OregonLive.com.
But even worse for the Ducks was the dismissal of wide receiver Jamere Holland, who took to Facebook in a profanity-laced tirade upon hearing false rumors that Kiko had been kicked off the team. According to the New York Daily News, Holland criticized the team after mistakenly believing that Kiko had been dismissed, before posting:
I wish I could block whites as friends and only have blacks LOL, cause apparently I’m misunderstood
Head coach Chip Kelly refused to go into specifics about why Holland was no longer on the team, although he told reporters that they were “smart enough to figure it out.”

Let's get this straight
You are a star and you beat your girlfriend: No punishment
You are a role player and you get a DUI: You get suspended
You are a role player and you post something offensive on your facebook: You get kicked off the team.
Makes so much sense, Chip. Wait for LaMichael’s court case to be resolved, but not Alonso’s… Hmmm. Oh, I forgot to mention, scrub defensive end Matt Simms was dismissed (prior to his case being heard) for an alleged misdemeanor assault.
Not like his disciplinary actions mean anything at Oregon, just ask LeGarrette Blount.
And all of this just scratches the surface: a campus brawl, a theft at a frat house and another player dismissed. When is it Kelly’s turn?
