Not something you want to hear if your a UK fan but, this loss will not effect the outcome of any of UK's remaining games. If he is proving guilty then I would most defiantly kick him off the team. There is no excuse for that kind of stuff.

UK doesn't need that kind of garbage going on around the team. Good riddance.
