Isn't that your specialty?

That'd be like Alabama approaching Marshall and asking how to develop a tough schedule.

Player arrest smack is never anything to beat the drum about, but since you asked....

Think they will attach a "hate crime" label on his charges?

If the info in the article is accurate, I think they will. The article says that was the reason (public display of affection) he stopped the vehicle and got out and assaulted them. Another peculiar piece of info is that the article says it was captured on video camera. Strange how none of the local (Huntington) media has bothered to show it.

Maybe the media doesn't have it?

Tony asked for soembody to stir the pot, but by and large I try to stay away from these kinds of issues because EVERY football team has people that get in trouble.

However, what's interesting in this case is that apparently he had several arrests before he ever joined the team.

Which brings up a question ... when recruiting a football player, what is the cutoff on number of mugshots before you decide to stop recruiting them? Apparently at Marshall that limit is at least over 3.

A serious charge , IMHO. I have to think he's history as far as football and his liberty is at serious risk. Speaking of Liberty hope you boys can handle the Flames!

HA!!! Well done.

Me too.
Schedule smack? LOL.
You hate to see these type of incidents no matter what school.

I 'd have to think that the charges are most likely true if they have video of the incident. He's carried his last football unless for the WV penal league. Sounds like aggrevated assault to me! Wasn't a bad back, very quick in the open field...but not like he's "Rockhead" either! He'll be replaced.
