and rule 32 doesn't apply.

Anyway I can't imagine what either of them would have to gain from making this up. That they both would claim it was true if it didn't happen doesn't seem realistic.

At this point Palin is more known for her celebrity and quirky lifestyle than anything she has done in politics. Now that dude's attempt at humor wasn't funny so neg him for that if you will be hardly politics. So on these boards it's okay to rip on anyone who does something stupid (unless they are a minor or current Wolverine) but if they ever ran for a political office or held an office or declared allegiance to a particular party now we can't chuckle at that person's expense?

It just seems that things have gotten so PC around here and in the off season can't we cut loose a bit?

I know we were after Rice Jr. a little.  Were we ever close to landing him?  Looks like we dodged a bullet there...pun intended.

I simply cannot believe a young man would do something like this with all he had going for him.  Talk about throwing an opportunity away, bringing a gun to a nightclub.  Man that is just about as stupid as you can get.  What was he thinking?

Sincerely,

Not saying an incident couldn't and won't happen here, but our coaches seem to be quite the molders of young men.  Inevitably things will happen, but I have a feeling it will be at a much slower clip than most other programs. Recruiting student athletes with great character as well as great skill, is and always will be the Michigan way with these two coaches in town.

Ga Tech is a bit of a mess; it can't be fun to be the sixth man on a team that went 11-20.  I have to wonder how GRJ would have responded to an environment like the one in Ann Arbor.  

He has one more year of eligibility.  I hope he amalgamates his waste material and takes advantage of the second chance that he will undoubtedly get. somewhere.

"...but already was serving his third suspension at the time of the incident..."

This kid's a fuckup, plain and simple. Sometimes, you win by losing in recruiting.

I've never understood the whole "I have to be a bad ass" mentality when your a big man on campus, if someone walked up to me and said son, I want to pay for your college I would be doing my best to make sure I did not fuck that opportunity up granted its not like he really needed the scholarship anyways but damn...dont be stupid!

Guns are tools built for a specific purpose not toys or accessories.

No patron should take a handgun to a bar/nightclub for any reason because alcohol clouds judgement. 

 

Even if the gun went off accidentally this poor kid is in a world of trouble.

How can my post be construed as political?

I do not come out and support any political position on handguns. 

I make two statements that are common at any CPL class. 

Then I talk about the legal ramifications young Rice Jr. is facing and reference Georgia state law, albeit not from an official source.

 

I don't mean to pick a fight or get sent to Bolivia since my standing on this blog is positively correlated with my sense of self worth and esteem but can I get an explanation?  What did you find political so I can correct myself going forward.

 

Thanks in advance.
