Again, I'll point out that in my experience, in Indiana, if you go to the bar, you ahve 50% chance of getting charged with a misdemeanor.

Shouldn't be there.

Ever.

As a resident of this shitty state, I can attest to that.

I recently was threatened with a misdemeanor for tossing a cardboard sign onto my friends brothers porch. He flipped, called the cops, and they immediately try to get you with criminal mischief/class C misdemeanor. Worst part was, we had hardly been drinking, and he was a friend. But, Indiana as a state is pretty shitty with this stuff.

If they're calling this a Class A, and he simply got into it with a bouncer, I'd imagine it'll blow over. Always seems worse before you get the info. I'll withhold judgement until we know what happened.

I think the most significant point here is how many times does a news story begin with "A player at a nightclub/bar was arrested last night for..." If you avoid nightclubs and bars, you decrease your chance of being arrested by about 200%, but these dumbasses inisist that they are the exception to the rule.

Hyde is off to the land of dumbasses who need to recover from their stupidity and still get to the NFL. Roby will probably end up with a 2-4 game suspension depending on the details.

I said on another thread that it's been too quiet and eventually someone would do something stupid. Ding, ding, ding. We have two winners: Hyde and Roby.

In ideal circumstances, that's what I think would happen. Unfortunately, this is not ideal circumstances. We're dealing with the backlash from the program's own previous troubles compounded by the UF arrest record and spotlight that Hernandez shown on it. Roby, unfortunately, picked the wrong time for this to go down. I'm going to say 3-4 games.

i wouldn't call it ideal circumstances, it's what the typical outcome is for such cases. if you read the police report, he got tossed from the bar, tried to get back in to tell his friends, and got into a scuffle with the bouncers and pushed one in the chest. in the SEC that gets you a few laps around the track and the stadium stairs. he'll get 2 games and meyer will strip him of being a team captain and life will go on.

If it gets pled down, 2 games minimum...if it stays as is, 4 games and then have him back for the start of conference play.

As long as he can practice and is only out for the first couple of games we'll be fine. We don't exactly face murderers row in our ooc games...

agreed with the above posts regarding the bar scene for athletes, totally stinks because all of their peers are out most nights, however they are marked people and just cannot risk it. No reason for anybody on the team to head out to a bar, just too risky...

telling college kids to stay out of bars is like... well i can't even think of a decent analogy, but college kids go to bars. Tim Tebow went to bars ffs.

We recruit kids who have high levels of testosterone and love to hit people. It is part of what makes them good football players. It is why the math department doesn't have these problems.

Never thought I'd say to anyone, "You ought to move back to Bluffton"

I get what you are saying, but that is easier said than done. IMO until you walk a mile in there shoes and were in the exact same situation it is hard to say to these kids be perfect because everyone is watching you.

That in no way excuses what either Roby, Hyde, or any kid did. All you can do is teach, educate, and instill good values and hope kids make good decisions. But in the end kids will most likely make a decision that is not correct and hopefully they are able to own up to making that bad decision and learning from it as well.
