No kidding... Apparently Scirotto and Baker will be back as well now that they all of a sudden weren't at fault for the fight they started... :shake:
PSU fans have no leg to stand on after this stuff... They keep saying "It must be nothing, because the old fart is a strict disciplinarian... If there was something to this he'd suspend them for sure..." :shake:

Bizarre story from Boston. Apparently a state cop (who is a part-owner of this bar) asked a 28-year old computer type, who was sitting in the bar on July 1st, to move so some BC football players could sit where they wanted to. The guy didn't want to move, and got roughed up by the cop. He also accuses a couple of BC players of being involved in the assault. The guy had a broken neck and needed surgery to repair 3 spinal disks.

BOSTON (AP) - Two Boston College football players and a State Police sergeant have been charged with attacking a software engineer who refused to leave an area of a popular sports bar to make room for members of the BC team.

Gosder Cherilus, a BC co-captain and offensive lineman, and cornerback DeJuan Tribble were charged with assaulting Sean Maney, 28, of Watertown, who sustained a broken neck and other injuries.

State trooper Joseph Boike, part owner of The Greatest Bar where the incident occurred last month, is accused of using a broken bottle in the assault against Maney and with assault and battery on the girlfriend of Maney's brother, Christy Osbourne.

The criminal complaints were issued after a hearing Wednesday before Rosemary T. Carr, the first assistant clerk-magistrate in Boston Municipal Court.
Boike and the BC players planned to plead not guilty at their Oct. 1 arraignments, their lawyers told The Boston Globe.

Proof that any recalcitrant can be saved .. LeMarcus Coker is allowed back on the Vols squad. He "suffered" an indefinite suspension that definitely only lasted two weeks.
Tennessee RB LaMarcus Coker's suspension lifted, will rejoin Volunteers
August 24, 2007
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Tennessee tailback LaMarcus Coker, the team's leading rusher last season who was indefinitely suspended two weeks ago, will rejoin the team.
Coach Phillip Fulmer said Friday that Coker "has fulfilled his obligations" to return to the team starting with practice Saturday. He also said that the decision came "at the recommendation of (Coker's) medical advisers."

Love that SEC team discipline. I'm glad this didn't happen because Coker was indispensable to the Vols.
"He's worked out some, I don't know how much," Fulmer said. "Really, he's been quite busy doing other things." Fulmer also said that the troubled tailback's attitude through the entire ordeal has been exceptional.
Though he will be back, Coker will not make the trip to California for the Tennessee's season opener Sept. 1, but could make the home opener the following week.
...
Coker, who had a pair of touchdown runs for more than 80 yards each last season, was suspended for several practices last December for undisclosed reasons.

Best Buckeye;908309; said:
Carr said he decided to allow Butler to return after the judicial process had played out.

?Because of that, I just felt it would be extremely unfair not to give him another opportunity,? Carr said during a press conference at Schembechler Hall. ?What he?s trying to do is do some things he?s been asked to do and so we?ll see how that works out.?

Let me paraphrase here:

Carr said he decided to allow Butler to return after the recruiting process had played out.

"After Kevin Koger, Brandon Moore, and Christian Wilson all fell for the old "available playing time" ploy, it only seemed right to let Butler come back. Those guys can't play 'til next year and Butler was our best TE last year."

Oklahoma freshman arrested
Broyles allegedly attempted to steal gas from pump

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) -- Police arrested a University of Oklahoma freshman football player early Friday on an accusation that he tried to steal gasoline from a convenience store pump.

Ryan Broyles, 19, was booked into the Cleveland County Detention Center at 12:10 a.m. on attempted larceny accusations and was released at 3:44 a.m. after posting $200 cash bond.

A police officer saw him at a closed gasoline station. He had a key and codes with which the pump could be activated, police Capt. Leonard Judy said. The key was in the pump.

The officer contacted the owner of the business and confirmed that Broyles did not work there and never has.

Important Legal / Blotter related note for the Big 10 Season:

RB Lance Smith of the Badgers is not going on several important road games. Alvarez put his foot down.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Wisconsin running back Lance Smith, who is facing battery charges, will not be allowed to play in away games this season.
Smith will miss Saturday's game at UNLV and games at Illinois, Penn State, Ohio State and Minnesota.

Smith was suspended from the team in July after he was arrested, but athletics director Barry Alvarez reinstated him in early August just before the Badgers' first practice of the season.
The team announced Wednesday that Alvarez and dean of students Lori Berquam had decided Smith would not play in away games.
Smith is charged with pushing down his girlfriend during a dispute over a cab fare, refusing to let her leave his apartment and taking her money and shoes.
He has apologized to the woman but pleaded not guilty to charges of battery and disorderly conduct.

Sounds like Alvarez didn't like the 'tude from the dude.

Pat Forde at ESPN had these cracks on Texas in his most recent column:

  • "I hear Mack Brown is using a police scanner for recruiting purposes."
  • "Book 'em, Horns."
  • "Got handcuffs?"
Click to expand...

Some observations:
  • Texas' most recent problem is 5 pages back in this thread
  • Texas finished well behind both Illinois and PSU in the Fulmer Cup standings - both of whom had more recent problems
It's not exactly news, but fairness still carries no weight with the media. They play up problems if they can make what they think is a good story out of them.

Texas still strikes a high-profile on the college landscape. As such, they are an easy target for the likes of Forde. Penn State has fallen too far on-the-field to get this treatment off-the-field.

Memo to OSU fans: Be careful what you wish for.
