Look, the guy obviously knew he was drunk, he decided that he didn't want to take the test, it doesn't mean he wasn't cooperating, he just didn't submit to the test... Now he will have to pay the consequences.

I work with police on a regular basis and it is actually better not to take the datamaster if you are drunk. It is your decision to take it or not. If you don't take it there are penalties, however, it makes it hard to prove an OWI.

Everybody's so eager to lynch the guy.

I think we can sympathize with him. Don't we all hate the towing services in Ames? Don't we all like beer?

I once "liberated" a friend's car from Bud's Towing. One of his dispatchers fingerfudged an address, and Bud himself decided to keep the car because AAA wouldn't pay the inflated bill caused by his own incompetent employees. Not to even mention the inconvenience he caused my friend by failing to do his job as a tow truck operator properly.

He put up a much better fence after the fact, but screw him if he's an unreasonable jerk.

I fully expect this Grad Assistant to be dealt with properly, but a Grad Assistant is nobody, as far as the football program is concerned.

Right on, this does not compare with what's going on in Iowa City.

A lot of people are getting excited over a graduate assistant. This will be the last you hear of him.

Well, Tony didn't get fired...

I'm just sayin...

I suspect the ISU grad coach is probably gone, unlike the OWA recent ASST wrestling coach and an ASST BB coach a few yrs back. Tell me if I'm wrong on that the U of OWA didn't terminate these coaches.
