ASU loses starter for 08 season
First off, I would like to welcome you to The Appalachian’s newest Sports Blog: The View From the Press Box. This is a place for the Sports Desk to gossip or complain about anything in the sports world. Whether it’s ASU, collegiate, or professional sports – it’ll always be interesting.
Well, this isn’t a good way to start the 2008 football season. According to recent reports All-Southern Conference defensive end Gary Tharrington has been ruled academically ineligible for the 2008 season.
Last season Tharrington had 84 tackles and five sacks for the Mountaineers – all while battling injuries. Despite the Mountaineers having a lot of options on the defensive line this year, ASU head coach Jerry Moore still anticipated Tharrington to be one of the leaders.
