No, because of living in a halfway house while going to school--and being saddled with a pair of felony convictions at age 22. For what was a prank. A stupid one, but a prank nonetheless.

At age 22 if you are stupid enough to pull a "prank" that involves robbing someone with any kind of gun I'm not going to feel to sorry for you getting a felony. I hope he is able to keep his life turned around long term, not just while he is playing for us, but a "prank" that was not.

I call BS. The only "robbing" someone was in the way the charges were filed. Perhaps you just paid attention to those, and not to what actually happened. Wouldn't surprise me that a lot of people did that, there is a definite tendency among the American public not to bother to look beyond the surface.

Besides, whether you Agree or not, my point is that it's a distraction, much more important and harder to focus on school, especially compared to football. And I'd say that easily explains his drop in on-field production.

To go in another direction, my brother feels like Gary bulked up too much and lost some of his shiftiness. Thus his lack of production might be explained apart from law enforcement.

Our O is bad and we really, really miss Darius Reynolds and Darius Darks with the obvious missing K.O. and Hicks on the line. Our QB's could still survive games being inaccurate with those players around them. I love Horne, Lenz, West and they do other things really well but we just can't throw the same type of balls that would be caught by guys last year who had bigger/better catching ranges/radius.

It is hard for our WRs to put up big numbers when the QB only completes 15 passes a game. We play roughly 8 WRs and 3 Runningbacks...... you can see why having 3 receptions is considered having a "big game."

I am curious how much better were we last season? I dont remember us being world beaters.

Your idea of a prank and my idea of a prank differ greatly. I don't know that I've ever taken part in a prank where felony charges were a possibility if caught.


Are we going to start down this road again? The fact of the matter is that many pranks could result in felony charges, but the county attorney usually doesn't do it. For example, knew a kid that burned down an abandoned house. By all rights it should have been a felony, but guess what, got some community service hours and probation.

I've know people to break in to schools, "borrow cars" and steal very expensive things, etc. etc. hardly any consequence.

Like I said, do we really want to go down this road?

To be honest with Bundrege getting the catches and making the plays he did last week, I would not be surprised if his touches lowered even more. I know there have been times he has been thrown to and just did not make a play....

I know its not this simple but it seems when we stretch the field (ie. throw a pass more than 30 yards) we have success...see Tulsa and TCU. When we get caught up in only the dink and dunk passes, we don't.

when the qb has time to throw it down the field we have had success.

I can tell the difference between a stupid prank that fits the legal definition of a felony and something that really is worthy of being called a felony. Regardless, it was stupid and players today should know that they have very little room for public stupidity. Still hope to see him emerge with some good catches like last year. He had everything handing over his head last year, but played pretty well.

his low output is probably just his way of pranking the football team

For the most part the QB's have had plenty of time. Happy feet, our receivers not getting open quick enough, and inaccuracy have made the pass blocking look worse than it's been. Now our run blocking, that has been bad!

I didn't see what actually happened with his criminal charges. I just heard he robbed someone with a gun. So explain how it was a prank. I am not arguing. Just didn't see what he actually did and how it was a prank. Thanks

They seemed pretty similar to me watching your games. What would you say are the pros/cons or Gary and Young? How fast are they relative to your other guys and how good are their hands?

I know Brundage is a guy you hope will be Reynolds version 2.0 someday with the speed + size matchup problem for a D.

It was a BB gun and he didn't take anything is where that crowd is coming from.

And it seems that it was intended as a prank to scare some folks, not truly to rob them. Albeit, a stupid prank that falls within the legal definition of a felony.

I know when I was a freshman there were a lot of sheltered freshmen from rural Iowa that got messed with a lot by certain people on campus because they were not entirely trusting of those people. Happened to me and I knew better and just walked away.
