Three Colorado State football players have been suspended indefinitely after being accused of the "savage beating" of four freshmen after a party late Friday night.

Junior defensive end Nordly Capi, junior linebacker Mike Orakpo and junior defensive end Colton Paulhus are all accused in the beating that left the four victims with swollen eyes, chipped teeth, cuts and bruises. One victim, 20-year-old Donny Gocha, even had a boot print on his back from one of the players allegedly involved in the beating.

The four freshmen were jumped on the street while walking home from the party and police were called to the scene. All four were taken away in an ambulance.

"Know this, that the harshest form that we could do is to indefinitely suspend until all the facts are out there," coach John McElwain told reporters at a news conference Monday. "... This is unacceptable in this program, it's unacceptable to this university, and until we get all the facts, we're totally cooperating in every way, shape or form that we can, so we get what really is out."

According to Gocha and 19-year-old John 'JD' Haley, another victim, the football players rolled up in an SUV and started yelling homophobic slurs at the victims. Gocha told the Fort Collins Coloradoan that he yelled a similar insult, which brought the SUV to a halt and the players piled out. That's when the beating began.

Colorado State is a ****show of epic porportions. Their glory days are past, the FCS may be in their future someday. Capi and Orakpo are two of their best players.

I have to believe that there is more to this story than 'they were jumped' I doubt the football program just goes around jumping people. My guess is the freshmen had a little liquid courage and were talking trash. doesn't excuse it but still.


I know the new QB at ole miss was just in a fight and got beat up by a frat guy, I have to believe that if this was the old days there wouldn't be a house left for those frat guys after the team was done with it

No, their basketball has never done anything. In football they made some noise as a non-AQ in the late 90's/early 2000's.


They have so many problems right now, they are dead in the water.
