Frank Clark Arrested On Domestic Violence Charge
No details yet as this apparently just happened but the Erie County jail's website has a log of all arrests and Frank Clark is on there:
If you are for some reason dubious that this guy who looks just like Frank Clark is Frank Clark, his DOB matches that on Frank Clark's MGoBlue bio.
When it rains it pours.

I would not want to be a fly on the wall when Hoke and Mattison got the news. Who is behind Frank Clark on the depth chart?
November 16th, 2014 at 9:33 AM ^
Mario Ojemudia.

I feel he is more talented.

Hopefully, you intend to include about 90% of people posting in this thread.

No, it's college-aged people getting into some type of legal situation that leads to police being called.

Well, Gibbons transpired before Hoke even showed up, so that's irrelevant. And the PR fiasco is as much on the AD as anyone on the team.
And yes, over 4 years Michigan had in excess of 7 players arrested or punished in some way (you forgot York and Campbell). That's out off, I'm ballparking, 200 scholarship athletes on the football team during that time. Some of these were serious - York, Stonum, Lewan were varying levels of dangerous transgressions - but others were, honestly, coIlege kid stuff - drinking offenses mostly, but the type of stuff that happens all the time to kids in college but because they aren't really "important" they never get posted on a blog.
And I'm not trying to be condescending, but this stuff happened under Carr, under Moeller, under everybody. Players got into bar fights, got caught with drugs, had "incidents" with women, etc. I'm not condoning it, but we are talking about human beings, and acting like football players (or athletes in general) should be "above" their fellow human beings is silly and naive. Michigan and Hoke have run a clean ship, but they aren't perfect. Nobody is. Show me a program that is.

You have no clue WTF happened. No clue. But by all means, keep spouting off, it's what you do best.

Little known fact.

I have been reading all the posts and you most of you guys have failed to realize that a guy made a fucking mistake. Yeah he hit is girlfriend and that is wrong, but we don't know the whole story yet. It SEEMS that Clark was drunk and beat on his girlfriend, but we have to realize this is not just a problem with our team and Clark. This is a football problem. There are many more domestic violence cases from football players than from the other major sports (I remember hearing it on the news so it may not be true I didn't fact check). We need to understand that Clark came from a violent past and it is hard to leave your past behind you. We all no that it is not excuse, but we must also understand that he is still only 21. People make mistakes, he ultimately might have screwed up big time. You guys though are fighting like this guy is the worst person on the earth there is no reason to disown one of our own like that. Even if Frank did do it, I am still with him trying to help him, but will have to punish him on the feild.

...you do realize Hoke recruited zero of these guys, right? (Not trying to say anything about Coach Rod here.) Oh, not to mention that he's not responsible for the actions of these guys?
November 16th, 2014 at 11:42 AM ^
but it's still a good point.

Can't we just tally up all charges and convictions of the football program during Hoke, RR, Carr? Then run a regression, control for number of years coaching, etc. That must all be public information. Or in binders...

Oh jebus people, he's got a HS graduation picture! He means business!
Seriously, you got some positive karma from that email situation, but you are absolutely pissing it away with dumb shit like this.

Sure, after he was found with it, but it was returned, and he paid the owner an amount equal to the value of the laptop.
Not OK sure, but not the end of the world either - and (according to Angelique) he appeared to have learned his lesson until now.

I'm confused by the reactions of "How could he do this now, before the draft/graduation/OSU game/etc?" As if there are more and less sensible times to commit domestic violence.
I'm not going to jump to any conclusions of what he did or didn't do for the moment. But if he is the type to hurt someone outside of a self-defense situation, then I don't think anyone should be surprised by something like timing. Irrational violent acts don't tend to follow the calendar, and violent criminals aren't typically known for their good judgment.

I worki n child support enforcement in Grand RAPIDS, and see domestic violence on a daily basis. I also use Vinelink when verifying whether or not an individual is incarcerated in a specific jail/prison. VINELINK shows that Mr. Clark is still listed as being incarcerated at the Erie County jail in Ohio. I checked this out approx 9:22 a.m. 9/16/14.
Another black eye for Michigan Football. Could Hoke be held responsible for this action? I don't think so, but how he handles Mr Clark after his release from jail, might carry some weight.
I will refrain from further comment, until all the facts are out on the table.

Based on the way Hoke has reacted in past criminal incidents (Glasgow, Toussaint, Furman, etc.), I don't think his reaction to this will be a black mark on Hoke's record.

Buh-bye, Frank.
