UAB says football player arrested after stabbing two teammates

Per ESPN:

A UAB football player stabbed two teammates Saturday morning, hours before the team's game against USF, the university said in a statement.

The two wounded players were in stable condition, interim coach Alex Mortensen said at the postgame news conference. He added that the team decided to play to honor graduating seniors in the last home game of the season, though several players understandably sat out due to the incident.

The teammate suspected in the stabbing was in custody, the university said. The school did not release the names of the players involved.

Daniel Mincey, an offensive lineman who transferred to the school in May, was arrested and booked on charges of aggravated assault and attempted murder in the afternoon, according to Jefferson County Jail records. He was in custody in Birmingham and appeared to be the only UAB player arrested Saturday.


Go Gophers!!

The Gophers have some issues, but fortunately attempted murder isn't one of them.

Not complementary football.

I played softball for a bar just off Chicago-Lake. One weekend we had two guys in the workhouse. I asked the coach about it and he said "that's just the kind of team we have".

Dilfer mistakenly tapped into the murderer portal instead of the transfer portal this past spring.
