Zipmeister Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Nothing good ever happens after 1am...I disagree. I would wager at least 91.7% of everything good happens after 1 a.m.; the rest happens before 1 a.m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckzip Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 I disagree. I would wager at least 91.7% of everything good happens after 1 a.m.; the rest happens before 1 a.m.I think it's closer to 93.4%, but it's not worth arguing over.

LZIp Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 My guess is that the police have joined the administration and targeting now not only basketball (see Harney and Tree), but football as well being that it appears they are on the rise. As if they even knew who those guys were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As if they even knew who those guys were.Sort of looks to me as if the police are targeting people breaking the law. There was a long list of people being booked that night.This is the sort of thing I'm numb to at this point. The average college football and basketball player is a really, really, really stupid person. With that level of stupidity comes stupid behavior. What you see is what you get. Summer is the most dangerous time for something like this to happen because there is less structure around these dunces so the probability of bad behavior increases.In any event, congratulations to these student athletes on their first felony arrests. Fourth degree felony is a little weak, but if you continue to eat your Wheaties, say your prayers and do you exercises, you can work you way up felony list.

johnnyzip84 Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 NBC Sports pokes a little fun at UA"My oh my what an embarrassing day."Some of the comments are a little clever. Potentially losing a starter and a key backup in the secondary in not the best football news I've heard in a while. Hopefully they'll straighten up.

And if you remember the after parties, you weren't doing it right boss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted June 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 They were essentially arrested for yelling. No violence, no alcohol, no burning couches, no flipped cars, and yet they're charged with "rioting", which is a felony. I won't try and make the case that nothing shady was happening, because the guy that hit somebody with his van was from Bedford and I can't imagine that he drove all the way there in the middle of the night just to get a Big Mac.

GP1 Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 They were essentially arrested for yelling. No violence, Sort of. No violence? They were directly or indirectly involved in an incident where a guy was struck by a car and someone else is charged with attempted murder. I see a plea bargain in the near future if not a dismissal of charges. Unfortunately, being stupid is not a misdemeanor. The real question is....What to do moving forward? There is still a long time between today and two-a-day practices. With that comes a lot of chances for 85 dunces to get in trouble. Bring all of the players in to the office that are still around campus for the summer and humiliate the three idiots who did this in front of everyone. Don't let the guys stand in front of everyone and give an empty apology where everyone hugs it out at the end or anything else for that matter. Make a harsh statement about them in front of everyone. Humiliation is in order here and it has to be harsh or guys with this limited ability to think don't understand subtle messages. Let them know they are expected to behave more smartly than a groundhog crossing an interstate. In reality, the coaches aren't asking much. I'd get three t-shirts made with the letter "D" for dunce on the front of it and make these three fools wear them every time they walked into the weight room or worked out somewhere. Additional running isn't going to do anything in this case. These guys are well conditioned athletes and they can be made to run all day and not feel the effects of it. In reality, it only makes the life of the coach who has to administer the running miserable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balsy Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Unfortunately GP1 (as an educator) that plan of action would create another headline: "Akron coaches bully players" or "Bully Bowden" or some sort of nonsense like that. It's important to note: I completely agree with your POA GP1; however there's a hypersensitivity issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want to make a lasting impression on these knuckleheads? Burn a D into their chest in red - a scarlet letter if you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GP1 Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 @Zipmeister, Not a bad idea on the brand. Location would be very important. The forehead comes to mind. Maybe a tattoo reading, "I'm a dunce".Jimmy Buffett once wrote a song called, "Permanent Reminder of a Temporary Feeling". Something like a brand would be in order for these three dunces. There is a line in the song stating, "Chromosomes and genes, spawn these fateful scenes. Evolution can be mean, there's no 'dumb ass' vaccine". (Link) Naturally, there is nothing stopping three stupid guys from doing stupid things. It is important to remind stupid people that they are stupid because they typically aren't smart enough to remember important things. A brand would be a good reminder to them and other around them.

LZIp Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Off topic, but whenever someone in High School got a tattoo, the football coach would always tell them they should have gotten an "S" on their head, for stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
