    Things were going just a little TOO smoothly … someone had to be the straw that stirs the drink. Way to go, DJ!

    Human nature my friend. You cannot experience massive football success without some degree of boneheadedness associated. I take these things seriously, but we also need to be realistic in that tracking 85 college males over four years should have some epsiodes like this.

    I’m sure Mack will deal with it.

    3 game suspension means the next time we see you is probably next year.

    Great job, DJ!

    Considering DJ weighs roughly 123 lbs he probably reached a .08 after three thimbles of Zima.

    Double secret suspension.

    Scip – no doubt, especially since the essential nature of higher-end athletes is a certain inherent sense of infallibility / indestructibility. Add to that the customary zaniness of youth, and there you go …

    Hopefully he didn’t blow a high number and is mostly in trouble for blowing positive while underage. Either way, I won’t be surprised if he’s done for the year. As I’ve posted elsewhere, I don’t think Mack is going to allow a(n) MNC announcer to be able to begin the game by saying, “And back to receive the opening kick for Texas is DJ Monroe, just back from his DWI suspension!”

    [quote]DWI Under 21:

    The law states that a minor commits an offense if he or she operates a motor vehicle in a public place while having any detectable amount of alcohol in the minor’s system.

    If you’re under 21, here’s what happens the first time you are stopped for drinking and driving.

    * 60-day driver’s license suspension
    * up to a $500 fine
    * 20 to 40 hours of community service
    * mandatory attendance in alcohol-awareness classes

    If you’re under 21, here’s what happens the first time you are found in possession of alcohol.

    Any amount of beer, wine or liquor will trigger these penalties.

    * 30-day driver’s license suspension
    * up to a $500 fine
    * 8 to 12 hours of community service
    * mandatory attendance in alcohol-awareness classes[/quote]

    Notice that it states “ANY detectable amount”.

    I think you forgot “thuggery”. That’s not what goes into a DWI, but anyone who’s being honest is forced to admit that it’s more than just “zaniness” that contributes to the Fulmer Cup standings.

  20. Scipio Tex said:

    So DJ comes off academic suspension this summer to pull this? Someone needs to explain the term “hanging by a thread” to him.

    What you term padding stats is what I call doing his job.

    This is a significant loss of potential, but a very limited loss in terms of actual production. Just hope the kid manages to get his act together before we cut the cord (which we are generally quick to do).

    I gotta agree with you Mysterious…instead of being revenue raisers, cops should serve the public like they did way back when. Like if their not that drunk follow the guy home.

  26. Scipio Tex said:

    November 15th, 2009 at 7:38 pm

    Tdiddle -

    For God’s sake. DWI isn’t jaywalking. It kills people on the roads. Affixing a penalty to it to underscore its seriousness isn’t harshing anyone’s existence.

    DJ is a big boy who can walk home from 6th street. He gets to own up to his mistake.

  27. nordberg said:

    November 15th, 2009 at 8:25 pm

    In fairness, Hays Co. is a pretty far walk for DJ.

    Ah fuck it, I’ve seen him run. He could do it in ~6 minutes.

    Boys (young & old) the rules changed YEARS ago and they’re not going to change back to 1985 when my State Trooper buds would scold me and tell my girlfriend to drive me home. (Not proud of that, by the way).

    According to MADD, close to 12,000 of your fellow citizens took a dirt nap due to alcohol related wrecks in 2008. Roughly 3 in 10 Americans will be involved in an alcohol related crash at some point in your lives. This is not some live and let live crime.

    I read in the comments on the Statesman board than the other passenger in DJ’s car was busted for possession with intent to deliver. Anyone got the scoop on that?

  35. Bateshorn said:

    Well, if true, looks like Sam Houston St. could be getting a new kick returner in the very near future.

  36. texasengr said:

    November 16th, 2009 at 9:07 am

    The only way I can pretend this was a case of DJ getting shafted is if he blew something significantly less than .08 …

    But the co-pilot having enough grass to be charged with intent to distribute (2 ounces?) makes me suspect DJ and further validates the police officer. How disappointing. I really wanted to see a 3rd kick returned for a TD.

  37. Mysterious Package said:

    November 16th, 2009 at 10:23 am

    Bates Im sure you can make a good point, but quoting MADD may not be the best way to defend your position. Thats like supporting Greg Davis based on facts* from echeese. Point being both have a pretty biased agenda. MADD takes a zero tolerance stance that is out of touch with the way most Americans view the situation. Why dont we just quote PETA everytime someone sees a stray cat.

    I think you’re wanting Peter Bean’s perspective from BON. I live in California. He’s in South Bend.

    Mysterious –

    I do agree with you on MADD. I just think the whole “if he were white he’d be let go” take is silly.

  39. Mysterious Package said:

    November 16th, 2009 at 10:42 am

    Agreed. Didn’t mean to phrase it that way and to think he didn’t get the benifit because he is a Longhorn football player is reaching. I was just stating a concern that I hope that wasn’t the case. There seems to be more to this, like who he was with? Just not a good situation and it is getting more difficult to defend him.

  40. coolhorn said:

    November 16th, 2009 at 10:44 am

    I’m normally into the “tongue in cheek” talk here as much as the next guy, but DWI is nothing to joke about.

    A lot of innocent people die because others get drunk, then get behind a wheel. DWI’s a lot more serious than 40 in a 30 zone, etc. The officer that busted Monroe did what he should have done, and so did Mack, by moving quickly to suspend Monroe indefinitely.

    This isn’t to rain on anybody’s parade. It’s hoped that Monroe will get the chance, down the road, to work his way out of the doghouse. However, for those who think he should have gotten a hall pass for being stupid in a no stupid zone, lose somone you care about to a drunk driver, and you’ll look at things differently.

  41. BatesHorn said:

    November 16th, 2009 at 10:47 am

    Because dead people are, well, dead. Kinda tough for MADD to monkey around with that number.

    Since you appear impaired yourself, I’ll google it for you:

    http://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/Pubs/811016.PDF

    These numbers are for 2007.

  42. BatesHorn said:

    November 16th, 2009 at 10:50 am

    And for the record, I tend to agree that MADD’s position is zero tolerance, but the dramatic drop in Alcohol related fatalities is due to a number of reasons, including improved safety equipment in automobiles, but zero tolerance enforcement by the nation’s police is also a factor. Trust me, the MADD mom’s definitely killed my buzz in high school, but they made an impression. ONce you’ve seen your dead buddy’s mom breakdown on the school stage, it’ll straighten your shit out.

  43. Mysterious Package said:

    November 16th, 2009 at 11:21 am

    False assumption on your part. A family member has been directly impacted by a drunk driver. I’ve seen MADD at work and even I questioned their role in the whole deal. So please dont lecture me on my impaired judgment.

    Defense, rebounding, recruiting.

    This team just proved the first two are non-existent (out-rebounded by 25; fucking KIDDING me?) and the last one is over-hyped as well. Every ESPN basketball recruiting analyst who actually had Bradley ahead of Wall should be taken out back and executed Inglourious Basterds style.

  • Trips Right commented on the blog post Texas Hoops vs. Wake Forest Open thread   6 hours, 49 minutes ago

    mcpayne, yes, you don’t leave that shit to chance. You don’t let your guys break the huddle or dead ball not knowing precisely what’s expected from them. Barnes doesn’t get 2 mil for coaching PE where he’s hoping the right guy gets fouled.

  • uthookem commented on the blog post Texas Hoops vs. Wake Forest Open thread   6 hours, 50 minutes ago

    mpayne, I’d agree with you if J’Covan had been playing all season and had been in situations to make that decision. Like, you know, against Baylor, when he played all of 3 fucking minutes thanks to rick.

    So yes, it is rick’s fault.
