This only would have been sad if the bullet injured an innocent bystander.

I'm not sure how it's sad when somebody does something incredibly stupid and irresponsible and is punished for it.

Well, we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one partner. IMO, it would have been tragic if an innocent bystander would have been hurt. It's sad, that one so blessed with opportunities makes poor choices that could cause him to lose a good portion of what he worked so hard to achieve.

Wilson receives probation, community service; UF future in flux

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Suspended Florida guard Ronnie Wilson pleaded no contest to battery and discharging a firearm.

He received two years of court-supervised probation during his plea agreement Thursday, and must forfeit his firearm and perform 100 hours of community service.

Wilson also must speak at an upcoming anti-violence rally and have a mental health evaluation. Adjudication of guilt was withheld.

Coach Urban Meyer suspended Wilson for a year following his arrest. The sophomore from Pompano Beach had been a projected starter this fall, but is no longer enrolled at Florida.

His future with the team remains uncertain and he could face further discipline from the university if he returns.

Wilson dismissed from team

Ronnie Wilson, whose football career was interrupted during the spring when he fired a semi-automatic weapon into the air, will get no more chances to redeem himself at the University of Florida. Gator Country has learned through two credible sources that Wilson failed a drug test Thursday as part of a routine beginning of semester physical that would have allowed him to begin workouts. Wilson has been permanently dismissed from the Florida football team.

Two thoughts:

1) Hang in there Taz. We all made mistakes when young. Keep your head in the game, don't get too down on yourself, and get yourself back on track by transferring, keeping out of trouble and hitting the books. Good luck; and

2) How can this be? I've read even here how Urban allows crime to run rampant and unpunished at the new Thug U of F.:shake:

I guess I am a bit less kind than others here.

Taz, we all know you come to this board.

Right now you have all kinds of people blowing smoke up any orifice they can get to and telling you that it's all right and this ain't no big thing.

This isn't all right. It is a big deal. You have blown a major opportunity. IF you are lucky enough to get another opportunity to go to college somewhere else, don't blow it this time.

I don't know you. I have no right to judge you. But I know that quite a few people around here think a lot of you and you let them and yourself down.

Few people get the chances in life that you already have squandered. Hit the books and get that degree. Learn from this setback and use it to your advantage. Don't be a fool. If the train comes to the station one more time, it's the last time to get on board.

Good luck Taz, I'm glad you see the error in the mistakes that you have made. I'm am also glad (as well as hoping a bit) that you see the opportunity you have in front of you and that if you don't get things straight, you can ruin that opportunity.

A big part of being a Man, and an adult is accepting when you have made a mistake, admitting it, atoning for it and maybe most importantly, learning from it.
