Given our offensive line depth, I assume they would have to beat up Suzie to get thrown out.

Can confirm. Used to do group projects with him and Shak Phillips for 3 seprate classes. Shak was great, actually became pretty good friends. Sean didn't do jack but he did like to ball with us at the rec

For some reason I thought you were older than me. We were probably in a lot of the same classes

also depends time/place/who he hit. I watched one of our most famous NBA alumni sock a kid in the face in my basement. Never reported and he apologized and we moved on.

Yeah some of our basketball alum are/were pieces of work.

FWIW most of the football guys even when I was there were still like this. Only guys I really liked and said hey to on campus were McBryde, Adeyemi, Shak, and a few others

If what was true? Assault3 is the lowest level of the assault charges. Touch or threaten someone w/ bodily injury and its "assault".

Mea culpa medic. I think I misunderstood your point. I would not say life in prison if guilty but I don't think I change on cut the scumbags lose.

Had Shak in a few of my classes too. Good dude right there

I'd probably pay to see you punched in the face by a 6-7 325 pound football player, hit the ground then jump up and say it was no big deal. I think we could sell a lot of tickets and donate the proceeds for Diaco's buyout.

Congratulations - You just solved the $5 million dollar nightmare.

Thank you - some people need to stop complaining or recognize what comes with a decent football team. I agree not a terrible fight based on the charges - just some dumb stuff.

Bummer. Hope these guys can turn it around. Young people make dumb mistakes, especially when liquored up at parties and benefitting from the privilege of being college football players. They're still young and hopefully will learn from it.

Agreed - some of these posters need to get out more - a fight is usually not the worse thing in the World. Kids and athletes can immediately move on - we will never have a big time program if we don't change our thinking - we will be competing with Williams and Wesleyan's of the World for recruits.

Drummond? I think I remember hearing about this. Was right before I was at UConn. He also drove really drunk with someone I knew and nearly crashed his car lol. Lived across the hall from a friend of mine. They said he was a nice dude though.

You might want to re-think the placement of the "lol" in that statement.

I'm not laughing because I think that the idea of driving drunk is funny in an entertaining sense or anything of the sort. It's more that I'm laughing because it's incredible how someone could be so reckless, especially considering that his physical health was literally worth millions of dollars. 'Lol' as in how could someone be that dumb

You should not post heresy like this.

Drummond is a nice dude, but I also have some first and second hand accounts that are less than flattering. Probably the friendliest of all the players I ran into, though, with Niels as a close second. Olander was the worst.

Neils was the best, stopped by our tailgate at the Michigan game and played ladder ball and corn hole.

It really depends. A very, very good friend of mine got jumped by athletes at UConn. The offenders got expelled. Do you think that's overreacting? He had his orbit broken

Tell your friend that nothing good ever happens after 1:00 am.... If a basketball player hits someone, most likely they don't get kicked off the team. Football players are considered more expendable due to the sheer number of rostered players. If a football player gets kicked off, it's next man up. That's a lot tougher in basketball.

Unfortunately it's a political decision not a just one. Hitting someone is a mistake but back in the day if you applied that standard most players and coaches are off the team. Seems like an overreaction.

You sound like a victim blaming piece of trash. There's a difference between mutual combat and getting jumped and sucker punched.
