Bottom line is he did SOMETHING to warrant the arrest.

For that, he gets a friggin' idiot award at least.

My guess is that he was a passenger with Howard, and started running his mouth when the cops got them out of the vehicle. Probably a shove or something.

Definitely stupid.

Sorry but saying "F U" and then "Leave us the F alone" will get you both charges. So will tripping and touching an officer with the tip of your finger. Hopefully a slight bump. Not too worried, yet.

Agreed. A lot dont realize just how little it takes to get an assault charge. Probably will end up with less by the time all is said and done.

Not that big of a deal on the law side of things. Both misdemeanors. 6 months probation, and 24 hours community service.

Oh and that is max. He has no priors, and his crime is not severe at all.

It would really be nice if people with so much to lose could either lay of the booze and stay out of trouble or at least stay home.

It would be nice if people realized that they are YOUNG men... we all were there...Stupid things happen... And now that we are older we are smarter right? Lets just let things play out... Lat and Howard are probably still sleeping off their hangovers and there are over 100 posts about how stupid they are...

RELAX...
what ever is going to happen will happen... And no one will feel worse then Howard and JL....

My concern isn't so much of what he did or the punishment. I am sure that the time will fit the crime. What I fear is the longer they are in jail......the more time Ferentz has to recruit them.

What is O/U on number of replies in thread discussing punishment for unknown facts (barring duplicate threads, which of course there will be at least 4 others). I say 175.

I'll take the over by a comfortable margin. Nobody speculates and comes to baseless conclusions quite like college football fans in the offseason. Let this thing breath for a few days until all the facts are released and we see what charges stick and just how serious it was.

Generally it's best to wait and see what the facts really are before making judgements about these kinds of things.

However, we do have the motto of "Honor before Victory" that the players pay homage to as they walk into Jack Trice.

So, is this saying just lip music, or is it the truth? In IC, it is Victory before Honor. I just don't want our program to become like that.

So, I hope the penalty is harsh. I'm really getting sick and tired of what collegiate athletics has become. Nobody cares about these kids as individuals. It's always just doing whatever you can to cheat the system and get them back on the field so they can help you win games, instead of punishing the kid and making him learn a valuable lesson.

Agreed. Also, these kids think they can get away with anything because they are athletes. They need to be put in their place and if CPR starts kicking them off the team or suspending them (not just for "spring ball" for games) while they lose their starting spots im fine with that. The thing that makes me mad is that we are paying for their tuition for them to act like idiots and think they are gods gift from earth. (all scholarship athletes not just ours.)

Do they really have that much to lose? The most anybody gets these days for most brushes with the law is a few trips up and down the stadium stairs and a game or two suspension. Big deal. Their scholarship (and hence their financial security) is untouched.

You want to get people's attention? Start messing with their financial security.

Research actually supports this quite well. Run ins with the law start at the age of 16-17, and climbs steadily till the mid twenties and then subsides.

To quote Gary Dolphin "Winning games will make this all go away"
