Michigan's arrest record under Hoke

Submitted by CarrIsMyHomeboy on

Holier-than-thou rigmarole is lame and indefensible, but as a pragmatic fan I also know how inevitable it can be between rivals. But before I start making silly comments abroad (in reaction to the OSU arrestapalooza), I want to be prepared. And knowing the arrest list of Michigan players under Hoke will help me get there. So what does the list look like?

Frank Clark

Fitz Toussaint

I am under the impression that the list is ~5 members long and am forgetting the rest.

A lil copy n paste for you:

Reports show Bell arrested:

...highly touted safety recruit Vonn Bell was arrested for an open container in Tennessee after the vehicle he was riding in was pulled over and the driver was issued a DWI.  Normally, an open container would warrant a ticket and a fine.  Perhaps the fact that he is underage had something to do with his arrest?

As for Hyde, I have a feeling he hasn't been arrested because the victim hasn't been interviewed yet and there is possibly video of the (alleged) assault given that most bars have CCTV.  They're going to want to make sure to get the details right before charging (or, if you believe the conspiracy folk, allow time for the victim to get paid off).  Fairly safe bet that if the early reports are true (coming from the roommate of the victim) that he'll be arrested soon.  If they thought he was a flight risk, he'd probably have been arrested at this point, but there's no harm in making sure you're i's are dotted and t's crossed.

I'd trust a random website more than I would the OSU AD's office.  It's not like they lied, repeatedly, about ineligble players and played an entire season with them not too long ago.  Of course, if you're clinging to "he hasn't been charged yet" or "there were only 5 guys arrested in separate incidents this weekend, not 6", well...then you're probably a good buckeye.

OSU's AD office never lied about anything...Tressel never told anyone.  I did a quick google search of Vonn Bell and didn't find anything.  So either that one obsecure site has it correct or eveyone else doesn't know yet...

came out after the fact is was pretty clear it was ridiculous for the prosecuter to pursue the charges against him in the first place. He acted with poor judgement in handling the situation, not like a criminal.

In Klein's case it seems like the victim in the case not wanting to move forward, is the only thing that stopped the case from moving forward. That is pretty common in domestic abuse situations, and it does not mean that he was  innocent.

Well, he's been at Michigan twice as long as Urban has been at osu, and has about 1/4 the amount of arrests. Oh, and he already kicked the star receiver off the team and held the starting rb out of one of the biggest games of the season. That is all you need to know.

No no, this is brilliant.  It's a preemtive anti-jinx.

 

EDIT:

Objectively, I'm not sure why the OP is taking so much heat.  His intentions (i.e. be prepared and knowledgeable in case Ohio fans start talking shit) seem to be solid.

 

Unless he is planning on actively trolling Ohio people, which would be a rather tasteless and karmically unwise thing to do.

Please don't act like this is a glass houses and stones situation. UM hasn't had anyone sniff legal trouble in a year.

Meyer is up to 15 different kids before year two has even started. One out of three Gators he brought to UF got arrested.

On top of that, one out of three kids remaining on the roster got kicked off the team under Muschamp - just because they thought they could continue acting out. Muschamp swiftly slapped the silver spoon out of their mouths. The remaining kids hastily shaped up. Janoris Jenkins will be the first to tell you about how the new regime at UF is a stricter one.

It's hilarious how OSU fans will be the first to differentiate between Hoke and Meyer's winning percentage, but try and compare their arrest track records. Meyer stands alone in that category, end of story.
