A report about UT players possibly being involved in robberies by assault was just released. Hopefully they are innocent and can get their names cleared quickly before they get convicted in the public press and instant-gratification message board world.

UT football players accused in robberies, assaults
12/16/2005 4:30 PM
By: News 8 Austin Staff
<!-- //===== START BODY =====\\ --> Several football players from The University of Texas are being investigated by the Austin Police Department for robbery by assault, according to sources close to the investigation.
The investigation stems from two incidents on Sept. 4 and December 10.
The two incidents involve robbery by assault. Sources tell us that the victims are telling police they were downtown when they were beaten up and robbed of their money.
There have been no arrests and no indictments in the investigations, but the cases have been turned over to the district attorney's office for further review.
At least three of the players may be starters for the Longhorn team, sources say.
The Texas Longhorns are ranked No. 2 in the nation and are set to play USC for the National Championship in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 4. It remains unclear what impact these criminal investigations will have on the team's starting line-up.

According to the rivals football board, sergio kindle, the nations number one linebacker and number 3 player in the country, might decommit from texas because of the allegations they face. he took an official visit to USC and came away impressed, even wearing an SC hat to practice. here's a link to the board. anyone else heard about this?

Um, Texas isn't facing any allegations. It's individual players being accused. Oh and if Beano Cook is picking Texas, they may as well engrave the trophy for USC.:shake: And go ahead and engrave the trophy for us. :biggrin:
