We had our example of this with Hans Brase this year in bball. Good for Snyder but don’t expect the same player or for him to be available every game. If he starts all year it will be an anomaly.
Iowa -7 vs ISU

- Start date
Take another stab at that second paragraph. This time pay close attention to the quotation marks.
(Hint: I don't believe anything within those quotation marks)
Personally, I know better than to throw stones at anyone's disciplinary actions...unless it's something like Nebraska with Lawrence Phillips and the Peters brothers. I think that you can safely ride the high horse there. But overall, off the field stuff happens to everyone. This iowa staff has a decent record of handling players in trouble. So does ISU under Campbell and Rhoads. Like it or not, these things are cyclical and I'm not going to be upset at a kid missing a bowl game vs the first game against a nobody. Remembering what I was like in college, I sure the heck wouldn't want to be in charge of 100+ kids 18-22.
Glass houses and all that- Didn’t Peavy get arrested or something and never miss a snap? Released from jail on Thursday, playing on Saturday. That’s some Mark Dantonio stuff right there.
All I know is if you get an OWI it's a serious misdemeanor and mandatory one game missed for football and three for basketball
That's because it was a simple misdemeanor. Completely different scenario than an OWI where you could have killed someone.
Yes, he got tagged for tagging a bridge.
You do know it is perfectly alright to disagree with certain decisions a coaching staff makes, yet still support them. Of course the opposite is also true. As well as it is OK to admit staffs make some mistakes, whether in words or action; they all do.
Hopefully you can read between the lines of the last sentence of the above paragraph.
It was an honest question, I thought he did but couldnt remember.
Sensitive this morning.
Here's the short version of the real story.
He was with a group of friends at the park. Yes, one of the people there was spray painting, but it wasn't Peavy. One of the people saw the cop car and just yelled run and took off, so everyone did. He was guilty because he ran away in a panic.
So in all your life you have never had what would be considered over the legal limit and drove a motor vehicle? How many people in either Ames or Iowa City on a home game day do you suspect are drinking them down and getting behind the wheel and chancing it? I bet still quite a few and it is dumb.
If he was your kid you know you'd drop the hammer even if he supposedly didn't do it.
I have. Not sure what that has to do with anything though. If I was a student athlete and I got arrested for driving over the legal limit I would expect to miss at least a game
I would be more worried, if I was an ISU fan, that Peavy was trying to outrun the Ames PD and managed to get caught.
That's because it was a simple misdemeanor. Completely different scenario than an OWI where you could have killed someone.
Ever drank more than legal limit and drove?
Bold strategy to defend someone who got an OWI and didn't have to miss a game. Even Buddy admitted he was surprised Snyder didn't have to miss one
