Testifying
Does the U of I own those scooters? Many companies have a zero tolerancing policy on driving a company vehicle after drinking, this could fall into that.
I'd highly doubt it. I have seen a few stores in IC.

And unsurprisingly, ferentz only gives Wirfs a one game suspension. I guess in his world trying to get home safely (and failing with funny results) deserves the same level of punishment as driving a scooter with two other people on it while you have a .129 BAC

After the Reiff suspension if though for sure that Wirfs would get two games. Glad he didnt so there will be less excuses when we kick Iowa's ass.

What has Ferentz done in the past in these situatons? Has first offense normally been 2 games?

Well, each situation is different. But what I would say is that it seems like KF would understand that DUI would be a more serious offense than public intox and pulling on cop car door handles, for which he doled out a 1 game suspension.

If the second game on the schedule had been any non-con opponent other than Iowa State he would have gotten 2 games.

Only 1 first offense OWI has ever resulted in a 2 game suspension under KF and that was given to Shaun Prater.

The reason he got the extra game is he told the cop that pulled him over the bartender must have put alcohol in his pop. Im guessing KF wasnt amused with that excuse.

Nope. Kirk is pissed that it made folks nationally laugh. It isn’t about behavior standards. It is all about public opinion. In no way shape or form can you discount the impact of the second game opponent. I will even concede it may have been same thing if it was Isu player and Campbell was dolling out the punishment. After Adrian’s pummeling of the taxi driver I must confess Kirk is not one of those guys that blows me away with his integrity.

I would guess he wasnt amused with having 3 people on a moped either
