Olander arrested on Spring Break

[joober jones]

O.K., we need to see pictures of Tyler's girlfriend to see if the transgression was warranted.

Well, at least nobody's glasses fell off this time.

The Button!

'81 Spring Break, Friday college vs. college contest at the Button, sexy banana eating contest, wet t-shirts, can't remember what else, puking in the Button bathroom and drinking for many hours more; got a traffic ticket for "speeding" in 5mph bumper to bumper traffic on Daytona Beach because the rent-a-cop didn't like our cat calling the bikini clad coeds. Come clean all you angelic boneyarders.

Tyler's trespassing - who cares. He'll laugh with his friends and kids in 30 years if he remembers it.

Belly Flop contest @ the Candy Store!

Ahhh to be young and stupid again.

Why does our team's white big men 'refuse to leave' when asked? They'd rather get arrested?

 

[joober jones]

Damn it Tyler, she likes you enough to sneak you into the hotel. Just leave when the cops say to, she'll still want you in the morning.

This is a good question. This what makes this charge on Tyler so completely stupid. His teammate just got suspended from the team for refusing to leave at the order of police, so what does doofus Tyler do?

C'mon BL - General Fund Revenue grab. Budget gap without it.

I don't believe for a moment it's a revenue grab. the cost to the city of each $200 payment has to be much greater than $200

One month Spring Break Court...? 1000+ kids @ 200 a pop? I get the court cost(judge, public defender, sherif/support staff) so maybe not an attempt @ revenue enhancement but an attempt to recapture some of the cost to police spring break?

 

[Waquoit]

Anyone else find it ironic, from a sociological perspective, that in the recent past we have not had many white players on our teams, and then, once we get a few, two of them get arrested?

No

Never gone to the Gulf Coast on Spring Break, eh? It's a complete revenue grab.

#4 - If a student is arrested, on average, they are white only 30% of the time. (Not trying to make a political statement on how or why this happens, it's just data.)

On the current UConn team, only 36% of the scholarship players are white, so if a player is arrested on the team, a white player's likelihood of being the guy is roughly 10%, yet 2 players have been arrested this year and both were white. They have defied the odds, statistically speaking.

Somewhere in the early-mid part of the last decade we began morphing into Cincinnati East. Too many high-talent, low-character recruits. Olander's arrest,by itself, is no big deal. But it just adds to the growing perception that the Husky uniform should include vertical stripes.

Thing is, most people would guess that a lot of these kids weren't "low character"

AJ certainly wasn't "low character". Olander's another. You expect smart kids from good families to know what's right and wrong.

Honestly, I think it's just a matter of them being 18 year old boys. It wouldn't shock me if there was a high arrest rate for college aged guys with a high social profile (frat guys, for example..) and/or law breaking (and just not getting in trouble for it.)

Problem is, these guys need to be better than that.

Is this real life?

Best advice my dad ever gave me; if law enforcement tells you to do something; do it. You may be right , but you're still arrested.

Are you suggesting we lock Tolksdorf and Giffey in Fishy's basement for the summer to avoid more offseason embarrassment?

Haha, was just bringing up a little statistical oddity about the whole thing to lighten the mood. Was not trying to make a political statement or anything. Apparently some people just see race in a post and assume it's racist, not PC, get uncomfortable, whatever. I will leave it alone.

I don't know, you're saying you're surprised we don't have a higher percentage of black players arrested. Forget about the sample size issues here, that's just an odd stat to bring up when 2 white guys get arrested, and yeah, it makes me a little uncomfortable. Not calling you a racist or anything, it's just a weird stat to bring up out of nowhere.

 

[Rico444]

But if you're joking, as it appears you are, it's not really that big a deal. Just didn't seem like a joke when I first read it.

That's not what Wolf did. Why do UConn fan's keep saying this?

Civil rights.

How did TO not get caught during the games? Sometimes he looks drunk as hell.

That is not at all what I am, or was saying. Not sure how you got that from my post. I just mentioned that it was statistically more likely in a vacuum, which made it ironic but that does not suggest that I was surprised at all. I am surprised in general that any of the kids got arrested to be honest, they all seem like good kids. And it wasn't out of nowhere, I made the following post first
"Anyone else find it ironic, from a sociological perspective, that in the recent past we have not had many white players on our teams, and then, once we get a few, two of them get arrested?"

Anyway, sorry it made you feel uncomfortable.

 

[Dogbreath2U]

Well, I guess I said it because I thought that was what was reported. It sounded as if Wolf might have not been charged if he had left when told to do so.

Thanks for your sincere interest in the motivation behind my post.
