Former 5-star RB Isaiah Crowell of the Georgia Bulldogs was arrested on weapons charges.
You may remember Crowell from EDSBS post (here). Apparently, he had some issues with the coaches during the year, as well.

All joking aside he's being charged with two felonies which means his playing days may be over.

Wasn't he the top rb coming
Wasn't he the top rb coming out last year? Sad to see talent go to waste , but if your a high profile player toting guns, you deserve everything that comes to you.
If I say a duck can pull a truck, shut up and hook the sucka up!
As my old man always says,
"you have to have a talent for having talent." It's unfortunate how many gifted people can't actualize their potential.
Nothing good happens after
Nothing good happens after midnight... especially with a Luger 9mm under your seat.

Not sure about the gun under
Not sure about the gun under the seat part, but I can definitely attest to all the bad things that can happen after midnight. I got tricked into feeding my pet Mogwai after midnight this one time back in the mid 80's, and man did things get real messy...
This kid has been a head case
This kid has been a head case for a long time, plus with the 2 highly ranked RB's Georgia has coming in I don't they miss this guy at all.
Go Blue
Apparently him and four
Apparently him and four teammates were stoped at a campus checkpoint and the car smelled like weed. He was suspended last year for a failed drug test. Georgia has to get the culture together asap.

Georgia is historically one of the dirtiest programs.
They just don't get a lot of press because they suck at football.
Yep, that's Simba made out of a pineapple.
Obligatory

Is there some sort of common
Is there some sort of common sense test they can institute as an NCAA requirement? Maybe ratchet up the GPA cutoff a couple points? It never ceases to amaze me how dumb these athletes can be. Regular students are dumb too but they also aren't guaranteed millions just by keeping it together for a few years. It just boggles my mind every time this happens.
"Michigan Defense" is dominating everything, in every aspect of life. That's a rough definition.

I was thinking the same
I was thinking the same thing. At least we could put together a list of things not to do as a D1 scholarship athlete, photocopy it, and pass it out...
Congratulations on your full ride D1 college athletic scholarship!!
Things you shouldn't do:
1. Murder people. Even if other people do it all the time.
2. Carry/point/discharge/transport firearms or firearm-like fake firearms. This includes, but is not limited to, carrying a loaded handgun in the waistband of your sweatpants when you go out to the club.
3. Murder hookers.
4. Dope. (Yes, the law counts that as dope too.)
5. Use other people's vehicles as your own personal playground equipment.
6. More dope.
7. You get the idea. Don't you? DON'T YOU???
8. ???
9. Profit!

You gotta love the classic explanation for the gun
"Other people were driving my car. It's not my gun. No sir, I don't know anything about it. I've never seen that gun before. Nosiree."
Too bad
Apparently, Crowell feels that "street cred" is more important to him than staying "out of the system." Although, I can't imagine his attorney not using some variation of "if he knew there was a gun there, he would never have consented to a search."
It will be interesting to see how this one plays out. If the worst happens and he has to do a year or so, I would imagine that someone in EL will give him a chance.
And now dismissed-

Is there a reason that high
Is there a reason that high profile athletes like this feel they need a gun? Is it for legitimate protection or just to be a badass?

When you're getting paid what these kids make on these sec teams, it behooves one to carry a gun for protection.

Another opportunity
Another opportunity squandered, hope the kid lrarns from this and makes better choices moving forward

Mod edit: You didn't go over
Mod edit: You didn't go over the line. I read your post as an attempt to be informative, but weapons laws are a very touchy subject and I think your post was too likely to push people over the line. The only weapons law related posts I won't delete are the obviously smartass ones. [zl]
One hundred and thirty three years of beautiful tradition, from Fielding Yost to Charles Woodson...You're goddamn right I'm living in the fucking past!
Fair enough, no need to rile
Fair enough, no need to rile the masses. I'll work on being less informative and more of a smart ass.
Hey, that was easy.

I don't have a problem with
I don't have a problem with being controversial, but only until it strays into a political hot-button issue. You're new to the board and I didn't think you were intending to get anyone riled up, so I just wanted to give you a heads up that political issues are verboten here unless they directly relate to college football (ie Congressional hearings on concussions in sports) or the University of Michigan (ie the President comes to campus).
What's to come?
Scary thing to think about what's to come for this kid. He obviously has some character issues. Football and the posibility of the NFL is often enough to keep these guys in line for a while. Now that football is gone, he could quickly go Maurice Clarett on us. Hopefully this event has on oppposite effect and straightens him out.
Keep the change ya filthy animal.
