Me too. I felt invincible at that age until the authorities explained that I was just really dumb.
Look for X to be dismissed.0
- Thread starter GeorgeStrait IU
- Start date
Yeah yeah, we all have college war stories.
Something happening with X in the off-season is the most predictable thing ever. Just is what it is. The book is out Cav
He has a Challenger. I know he likes to drive fast. 90 is not crazy. When I had my caddy I went 100 daily for about 3 years.
He got scared when he saw the lights and didn't want to get in trouble. He wasn't drunk or high. This is not a big deal IMO.
Yeah it's not an excuse for anyone, but I sometimes wonder how I'm still alive. And my college days sound tame compared to yours.
With comments like that, now others can see why he probably breathed a sigh of relief when he left. His treatment at times was awful. He was a good man, a good coach and made us proud.has he come out of his basement yet?
Parker got in no trouble last night. He was in the car when X hit the gas for 3 seconds too long.
So because you did stupid shit in college, it makes it okay for XJ to do it?
Lol 3 seconds too long? X ram from the cops and flew through a stop sign while fleeing. Then had a regular IU student try to take the blame.
This is their second off the court issue (Parker’s third). Time for them to be gone.
going 90 on Walnut is not bad compared to the normal college kid at the same age is my point. If he was drunk and going down a one way, like Hanner, we have something to be concerned about.
Then they would have been on College, not Walnut. Parallel one way streets.
Yes three seconds. Ever been in a challenger? Saw the lights, turned off, blew a stop sign, and was switching seats not to get int rouble.
What did Parker do wrong again?
Same names always pop up in these same stories. Senior leadership Pitt style
He wasn’t just going 90. He was fleeing from the cops and running stop signs while doing it.
I wonder if they administered a breathalyzer.
Maybe when he hits a car head-on and kills the parents of 2 little kids, some of you will say, oh, just only killed 2 people.......
College and Walnut merge at 17th St. and north of 17th it is a 2-way N Walnut, so could have been going south if before the split
Lol I’ve been in plenty of cars faster than a standard challenger, and I haven’t been arrested for reckless driving. He ran from the cops and blew a stop sign. This is his second off the court issue. He should be off the team.
Parker at the very least put himself in a bad situation. The guy has been trouble all year. No surprise that these two guys are also the two that have multiple techs this year on the court for trying to act tough.
There is no way of knowing that if they didn’t do a breathalyzer. It’s been reported that they were at the bars earlier in the evening.
Nope. Not until you hit IN #46, aka the "bypass".
So you think the cops would let it slide and not check for him being drunk after taking him to jail overnight? lol. I got some ocean front property in North Btown for sale.
The stretch from 17th to 46 is a place to hit the gas. You have 2 lanes and a lake in-between you and college.
Correct about the bypass instead of 17th (mistake on my part), but if north of the bypass, they still could have been going south on Walnut coming back into town
So you think they were just out for a cruise at 3 am on a Saturday In Bloomington? You should sell the property to yourself.
they were at the club in Btown I am sure and were coming home. They didn't drink or smoke. They were having responsible fun on a Saturday night in Bloomington. I promise you, every basketball team for the last 20 years has went to sports and the bars on Saturdays in the off season. Every single one. A lot get hammered. They were being responsible and sober.
It definitely could have been worse. Still can’t keep XJ though.
He wasn’t. At least what I read said that it was a third student, not a player, which is why he was taking the fall.
Anything over 15 over the speed limit can be deemed reckless driving. Sad to think he was even close to 90 in a 35(?). Lucky he didn’t kill someone or himself. Ridiculous for anyone to think a ‘borderline call’. Have you or anyone else on this board ever driven thru a city at that speed or really that much over the speed limit?
Shoot, I used to hit 90 in a Dodge Ram regularly. Let alone a Charger. I slowed down when my parents stopped paying my insurance and I realized it costs a lot less when you don’t get a speeding ticket every year. Hopefully X slows down after this, but I can’t imagine him being kicked off the team.
Are you certain of this? I’m afraid that’s the other shoe to fall. Why else would they try to run? Sure hope you are correct.
Lol yes, very responsible to go 90 down Walnut, run from cops, and blow through stop signs. He’s charged with a very responsible felony.
Btw, what percentage of the players you signed NIL deals with have had off the court issues and/or been suspended during the season? 100%?
God some of you guys must have been boring as hell in college. This isn't ideal, but is not the end of the world either.
I'll support Woody either way, but if this happened at another school I'd not think twice about it. College students do dumb stuff.
Another issue - what if he gets all the practice time at the point and then does this again. Our new point lost all those reps
No, that's why I said "depending where it happened." I see people driving 90mph on 37/69 every day.
On Walnut Street in town that's just stupid (and reckless) no argument.
