you know another thing about Hawk Huddles?

Nobody cares about Hawk Huddles.

Keep posts on topic.

This type of commentary is not needed, appreciated, nor desired.

I am not sure you can exactly look at this as a true admission to guilt, turning themsleves in. The reason I say this is that it is not like they smoked last night and then walked into the police station and turned themselves in. Instead they were most likely notified that there was a warrant out for their arrest. That is a huge difference. At this point not knowing the extent of the issue, I am not sure what the proper punishment is.

So, what will your response be should the coach decide to remove one or more of these men from the team?

Kind of impossible to say since we don't know anything about what they were arrested for. But if it were just possession of marijuana with nothing about intent to sell or grow or whatever I'd be very disappointed in Coach Rhoads.

I would say, that's probably not how I would have handled it, but he's the coach and I'll support his decision.

Possession of Marijuana is a simple misdemeanor, as is a speeding ticket, as is underage possession of alcohol etc...

OWI is a serious misdemeanor.

Do we kick every player off the team that got a speeding ticket?

Just saying.

I don't see them getting kicked off the team, but I do see a suspension. I'm not sure how many games, but I would assume more than one. I would hope CPR has a two strike policy. These guys will do their time, miss their games, and come back after the suspensions. If they show up anywhere near the police blotter again, they're done. At least that's how I hope this situation is resolved.

I don't remember calling it breaking news and what's wrong with posting links to news on other sites?

If they show up late for any of them, suspend them longer. You make your statement, and you give them some of the discretion as to their punishment and you find out how much football really means to them.

It would've been 3 right off the top, but I'll give them some leeway for turning themselves in.

I never played college ball but I'm assuming the football team might have 5-6 a.m. workouts anyway (one of the things I hated about HS football - getting up early just to lift weights at 6 in the morning)...

The real question is why was there a warrant in the first place?

I am hoping they just purchased their product from the wrong person. But I am not very comfortable that is as far as it goes. Time will tell though.

Minor first time offense+drug task force=koolaid talk

Laing may face immigration trouble. Drug crimes are taken seriously by Canadian and US authorities when it comes to allowing the other country's citizens in.

That NEVER happens here, that's what is wrong with it! The way to spread breaking news to other boards is by making it up on your own!

Straight from the updated DMR story:

"Central Iowa Drug Task Force officials said they received information Sept. 9 about possible drug activity around Building 41 at Frederickson Court in Ames.

On Sept. 11, a search warrant was executed and a small amount of marijuana was found in an apartment, according to the task force. The specific apartment was not listed and it was not immediately clear if the Iowa State players lived together."
