This is Taufoou’s second offense since joining the Iowa State football team after transferring last year from the College of San Mateo in California.

He was charged with fifth degree misdemeanor theft after allegedly stealing a wireless computer adapter from the campus Memorial Union book store on Sept. 17, 2009 according to Iowa State police department officials.

Gone for a single DUI? Doubt it.


*Forgot about the stealing of the adapter. I still doubt he's gone. I'd think he's got one more screwup alotted to him before he gets the boot.

I would say the same thing if he hadn't had the theft earlier. I think the two together will probably leave him off the team but then again, I don't get paid a bunch of money to make these decisions.

Might depend on if he blew low enough to plead it down to something else. But I'd give it even odds whether he's still on the team this fall.

I wouldn't say he is gone. CPR may put him on some kind of probation, or re earn his scholarship.

He will not be kicked off the team for an OWI, 1 game suspension is likely.

If that was it, I would agree. Except in this case, he has also been caught stealing university property already, and was given a second chance.

David Sims got a 1 game suspension for credit card fraud, and Tau'fo'ou gets kicked off for OWI?
