Charges Dropped Against DJ Monroe
Posted by Vasherized on December 18th, 2009 under Football
Driving While Intoxicated charges against Longhorn football player D.J. Monroe have been dropped. Monroe, a kick returner and running back, was arrested on November 15 in Hays County.
Monroe did get charged with obstruction of a passageway.
Monroe was suspended by Mack Brown immediately after the incident and missed the last three games, including the Big 12 championship game.

Possibly. However, I’m telling you – the beauty of these intergame lines is that when you see that all-too-familiar big early game lead that you know will evaporate down the stretch as soon as the team starts regressing to their 3 point shooting mean, there’s some money to be made.

Does anyone know whether he’ll be reinstated before the bowl game? I’d love to have him back there with Goodwin returning kicks.
Also, anyone know whether there’s any chance that Scott gets any playing time, at least at special teams? My god, anybody could upgrade our special teams coverage.

I think Goodwin is probably faster. Monroe might be shiftier though. Dude moves like on one I’ve seen in orange since Ramonce. Remember Ramonce running that crazy play out of the back of the end zone?? That was one of the most amazingly athletic things I’ve ever seen. Can’t remember who it was against because it’s Friday and I want to leave the office badly.

Mack is making a recruiting trip around the state. He was in Houston yesterday to see Connor Wood, Connor is graduating early and Mack and Major came down to say hi and be supportive. Also, Mack dropped by St. Pius to see Greg Daniels. Probably hit a few more schools – I would think North Shore was on his list.
whoopspat said:
December 18th, 2009 at 3:10 pm
That’s right, tree, I forgot about the early enrollees.
He comes by the school and has the player pick out a couple teachers that were influential in their academic career. Mack will talk with the teachers for a while and thank them for what they’ve done.
When Mack dropped by LT last year for Paden he pulled my brother’s (and my former) physics teacher out to talk (Mr. McHarg for any LT alumni who care). It’s a great thing to do to cement relationships with schools and to send the right message to the players about academics.

Ramonce’s “brilliant” return at Ohio State only comes about because he was full retard, not knowing where he was and accidentally stepping out of the end zone. DJ’s decision making in breaking curfew and obstructing a passageway does not bode well for his future. I hope to God he pulls a Ramonce and scores touchdown in the championship game. But I pray he doesn’t get caught with a brick of mary jane in his backpack in the off season.
As for Shipley, he has made a few strange plays lately. However, everyone thinks he fumbled that catch against A&M. In fact, that ball landed on Kenny Vaccaro. Ship never touched it. I’d say he’s only half retard. He knows you never go full retard.
Orangetower said:

I’ll be blown away if both he and Goodwin are returning kicks together in the title game. That just isn’t how Brown rolls. Hope I am wrong.
It seems like the deck is stacked against ol’DJ ever developing consistency within the program. There’s the ongoing problem with grades, lying to the coaches and getting busted, and Greg Davis. Not a lot going for him there.

If you’re flying around Texas, a King Air is plenty. They are turbo props, not regular props. They get there almost as fast anywhere you go in Texas, can land on much shorter runways, and are roomier than most small jets.
