just because something is public record does not mean it is everyone's business
"thug" –noun 1. a cruel or vicious ruffian, robber, or murderer.Nice job with your scholarship players Coach Lee.Don't forget to check off the "thug" box on the application next yr secondaries.

I wonder why he used that word? NOT!

Police embellish reports often and the Strib has been known to publish complete crap and intend to smear.
Do you have statistical proof? Known by whom?
I guess it is the TMZ mindset to believe that everyone's private life is your business. Lets all stalk kids at schools and jump down their throats when we see them mess up. And if you believe everything you read in the paper or hear on the news you are dumber than I give you credit for. It's called "spin" newscasters report the version of the story that they want you to hear, they do not just state facts
Brewster needs to send a message the team that these types of incidents (like Carter and Whaley) are not tolerated. The lack of decipline seems to have carried on to the field also with last weeks record number of penalities.
Were you the kid in school that kept asking the teacher questions because you "didn't understand", while everyone else pointed and laughed and rolled their eyes because they wanted to get past the discussion of "1 + 1 = 2" 20 minutes ago? That is my guess.
I graduated from the U of M in 1980 and had the pleasure of watching the football team with class acts like Tony Dungy. It now appears like the team has a number of very serious issues that need to dealt with. Brewster needs to send a message the team that these types of incidents (like Carter and Whaley) are not tolerated. The lack of decipline seems to have carried on to the field also with last weeks record number of penalities. I am embarssed by this team, but not by the overall performance on the field but by the police blotter. Something needs to be done now before we have another repeat of the terrible incidents from the past.
Brunicks better get involved and put a stop to this! Look at the National outrage over the Florida LB "only" getting suspended for a 1/2 over something less than brawling with police. This is going to provoke a firestorm against the U of M.
Your characterization of "brawling with police" seems a bit extreme relative to the description in the paper which I assume was pulled from a police report. Michael Carter refused to be patted down.
Brandon Spikes on the otherhand tried to intentionally injure a defenseless opponent in a manner that could have caused permanent blindness.
IMO Brandon Spikes deserves a more severe punishment.
your attitude on this board solidifies every feeling i had about grad students (particularly in the history dept) while at the U. your feelings of inadequacy at not being at a better school has led you to put on airs of intellectual superiority.
bring it down a notch or two, you are not impressing anyone here.
I'm not even a grad student, so thanks for the misguided rant!
And, for the record, when I was coming out of HS, I could've gone to pretty much any school I wanted. I chose to go to the U of M, because it was relatively close to home and (at least at the time) relatively affordable.
I'm not going to start naming names, but I was accepted at every school I applied to, most of which I had absolutely no intention of even considering attending - just applied to see if it's as hard to get in as they say.
Oh, also - thanks for talking Gophers!
not a rant. i didn't use a single exclamation point!
if your are not a grad student at the U, you certainly act like one
and before you can got there, yes i am stalking you.
I was pursuing a history PhD at the time, but they wouldn't let me work full-time and be a student. So I told them to stick it. I can't afford to support a wife and son at home on a $300/wk stipend. Especially when that factors out to something like $6/hr for a GA.
I am considering getting back into a different doctoral program - something I can pursue while still working full-time.
I'm glad I can answer the questions of all my adoring fans on this sports-themed internet message board!
Regardless of how this situation settles out, two facts are indisputable: 1. Carter was out somewhere he shouldn't have been, especially at that time of night;
Pretty sure he can go to a pizza place whenever he wants to as long as it's not the night before a game.
For freshmen, I'd even go further than the midnight curfew. I think all freshmen should be housed together with curfew rules and a mandatory sign in/out sheet. Once they have a year of college life under their belt, then they can live with the upperclassmen. This arrangement may have kept some of the kids out of trouble and also taught them a thing or two to help them make better decisions.
They can vote, go to war, but they can't live on their own...?? They already pretty much live in all athlete dorms. They have 3 meals a day, study halls, tudors, practice and classes.
The truth is 18-22 yr old kids f up.
They are from various backgrounds and socio-economic status situations. Those who can handle the freedom and new responsibilities will be ok, those who can't will not.
We all need to step back, quit harping on other schools and admit we have the same problems...
I love how so many want to bury Carter but say "boys will be boys" with Maresh. DOUBLE STANDARD by lots of old fans.
