Your response that drinking while playing slow pitch softball is "moral degradation" is just plain ********. Any man who considers a college kid drinking while playing slow pitch softball to be some terrible offense is obviously a pathetically boring and uptight person. Take your puritanical BS back to the 1600's and burn some witches.

The fact that he took a swing at one of his teammates on Welch (and exposed his teammate by getting into trouble by starting a fight with him) is a much bigger deal than a disorderly conduct ticket, in my opinion.
A stupid mistake is one thing, a bad teammate is another.

Man, I do not get it with this kid. In high school, he was pretty straight-arrow. You never heard about anything bad with him, unlike some of the other players in his league. It appears maybe he is just a kid that should not have gone to college too far away from home or something. Very disappointing.
It could be, but might not be.
Sometimes friends get hammered and belligerent and fight or wrestle around. Everyone sobers up, and says they're "sorry," it was stupid". Then they bro hug it out.
Also: "dude, why were we fighting last night?"...."I can't remember"
He probably never had a beer in college and he doesn't know how to handle it without making a complete fool of himself.
Most campus cops are douchebags trying to be tough guys. Probably threw him around in hand cuffs.
Who do you think you are - trying to tell teammates how to be teammates? Teammates get in fights all the time. It's part of being on a team. If a player wants to punch another player, it is none of your business to tell him if he is right or wrong. Get off your moral high horse and let them be teammates!
Sound familiar?
By the way, if he would have followed Clonestar12's moral code, he wouldn't have been an underage drunk and wouldn't have taken a swing at one of his teammates and we wouldn't be having this discussion.
I really hope that this did not happen. Swinging at your teammate is not a good thing. Neither is swinging at anybody, really, but in my book, it's worse when it's a teammate or friend. Only official thing I have seen is that he took a swing at someone and wouldn't stop walking when the cops tried to talk to him.
Sounds like he needs to be done with drinking for a while.
So let me get this straight, some people on here want to kick a kid off a team for disorderly conduct but yet are fine with taking transfers who have been kicked off their team or gotten in trouble with the law? Is it just because he wasn't very good last year?
I don't get it.
I don't get it.
Heck, I thought softball was for drinking. At least that is what we did until I was 25
No, it's because this is his second incident in the past 4 months. I guarentee you if Royce or Allen had two incidents in 4 months people would want them gone too. None of the guys we've brought in that have had troubles in the past haven't gotten into ANY trouble while at ISU.
Want to get in on the ground floor in the rumor-generation business? Start churning out posts saying that Jordan was arrested for loudly claiming that an Avian Influenza Outbreak was imminent for the Central Iowa area.
I was thinking more like "TJ Hooker" myself.
Anyone else remember that officer from the late 80's/early 90's who was maybe 5'2" or 5'4" tall? We used to call him "Toy Cop", and I remember hearing from an administrator in the Rec Department that he supposedly had WAY more brutality complaints against him when compared to other APD officers. Implied that it was a case of "short guy syndrome".
He used to get assigned to all sorts of "innovative" assignments: I think he was their first "bicycle cop", and I know he was the K9 officer in the early 90's. I was sitting in BJ's, the "gentleman's club" north of Main Street one night in '91, and he came in checking ID's. One of the guys I was with started barking just loud enough for that cop to hear him, but then he'd stop when the guy started looking around. He kept that up for the whole 5 or 10 minutes the officers were in the bar, and it took Jedi-level control to keep a straight face while it was happening.
