Interesting note from the presser today

[HILLCYD]

Keep, you're a troll. See how easy that is? Doesn't make it right.



Here's the bottom line for all of you blissfully ignorant out there:

1. When you hear that one of your players may have been involved in a robbery while brandishing a weapon, you suspend them immediately.

2. You gather as many facts as you can and you determine if it appears the info is correct. If it appears he did rob someone with a weapon, he stays suspended and is kicked off the team. If there is conflicting evidence, you work with the police to determine if it's likely that charges will be brought. If they are still working the case, he stays suspended...because he may have robbed someone with a weapon. The police think so enough that the case is still open. If the case is closed with no charges, suspension lifted.

3. If charges are filed, you suspend that player immediately because the prosecutor believes that he has enough info to convict your player of robbing someone with a weapon. This is the easiest thing in the world. You let this play out prior to letting that kid back on the field, UNLESS you don't intend to punish him any more than you have.

What you don't do is let a player play while awaiting robbery charges.

Anyone with an ounce of moral fiber knows that.

This is EXACTLY what EIU does in these situations....

The alleged rapists never played in a game again and were both "not in good standing" prior to the charges being filed.

Credit cards guys never played again, did they?

Paul is screwing the pooch on this one and you guys won't admit it. He's putting victory before honor.

Do we beat Kansas without him?

Who is WE? You have a ******* mouse in your pocket?

Go somewhere else....listening to you talk about ethics in athletic programs is like listening to Sandusky talk about early childhood development.

 

[keepngoal]

Glad you so blindly believe county attorneys... Three games is a Hell of a suspension and fits for what we know now and what is about to happen. When more happens.... Read conviction.... I expect more punishment.

Until then your panties are up in a wad over your instate rival.

How can you rob someone and not take anything? MY opinion is it should be attempted robbery since nothign was taken.

IMO not a big deal, it was college kids being dumb no one was hurt and nothign was taken, so lets move on.

I did worse things than this (although none included a gun) in college that we thought were hilarious and could have caused injury or damage to property.

Beat me to it. This was dumb, but they didn't even take $4 or a cell phone. Seems odd that he would even be charged with robbery when nothing was taken.

"I've been aware of this alleged incident since January and consider it to be a serious situation," Hawkeyes coach Kirk Ferentz said in a statement. "Based on what I know to this point, I think it is best to let due process run its course before coming to any judgment."

Somebody looks like a tool now.

 

[Chipper]

Those justifying armed robbery are kind of looking like tools.

What on earth are you talking about? None of this discussion is about whether their actions were justified.

 

[Doctor]

Why are you talking about Ferentz? What in the world does he have to do with this?

We have a player on our team who appears to have held people up at gunpoint and made them empty their pockets.

Now, the idiots on the board will say, "He didn't even rob them of anything."

He can't help it if the victims spent all their cash at the bar. He tried.

He went out, with a weapon with the intent to rob people. It wasn't spontaneous. He grabbed a weapon and went out to rob people with it. You don't walk around Ames with a weapon for any other reason.

Premeditated robbery.

Good luck on Friday. Catch a lot of passes and make us proud!!!

Try not to frisk any opposing players while brandishing a gun.

Who justified the action?

I've seen people say that at this time CPR's suspension is what you expect from any program. If (once) he is actually convicted then his suspension will change accordingly.

The incident is being downplayed because nothing was taken:

IMO not a big deal, it was college kids being dumb no one was hurt and nothign was taken, so lets move on.

It's kind of like the Berryman deal. It was just $4 and a cellphone.

I guess if you want justice, you have to walk around with a gold bar in your pocket so people feel like you've truly been victimized.

Having a man stand in front of you with a weapon and making you empty your pockets is only a big deal if you have a gold bar in your possession.

It's amazing that you are making all of these assumptions and trying to pass them for fact.

 

[keepngoal]

Facts... Opinions... Theyre the same to this 'doctor'.

 

[ISUAgronomist]

It's amazing that you are making all of these assumptions and trying to pass them for fact.

What's even more amazing is a Hawk fan referring to Iowa State and it's players as "we" as if he has some connection.

 

[Doctor]

Anyone who thinks a player who is being charged with robbery shouldn't play==Hawkeye Fan.

Got it.

 

[hard2clone]

Anyone hearing rumblings of more players involved possibly? Talking impact players if true...

It is going to be sunny and windy today in Des Moines.

(see we both talk about **** that has nothing to do with this thread.)

So what type of Doctor are you? It will help me act as your translator and help you understand this dilema for you.

In service of your ignorance-

That doesn't sound good.

It did say he was approached by several men, didn't it?

I guess it's normal for football players to hang out with other football players.

Will they serve 3 game suspensions, as well.

Go away. All you are doing is starting/spreading rumors about players. You don't know what went on so stop posting.
