re: DGB arrest rumors floating around on twitter.

The facts are these, he was investigated by the COMO police dept on allegations and the evidence not only showed there was no rape but that the sex was consensual.

I'm not here to defend his character, but I also don't believe in convicting someone on a lie.

Prove what you ate for dinner last night.

Prove the last time you had done the deed.


The law works on facts alone, and if something can't be proven doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Dixon was kicked out for his behavior, not being accused of rape or anything to do with rape. He had academic issues and he was a multiple breaker of Mizzou's code of conduct. Mizzou students felt he no longer deserved to be a student at Mizzou and voted him out.

He wasn't a good guy with the ladies but he was a damn good ball player.

I think one of his behavior issues was recording the sexual activities and then showing other students on his phone while on campus.

I thought he was brought up in front of the board for his actions involving at least one, if not both, of those women. Am I wrong in remembering it that way? If it wasn't how he behaved with them, what other behavior was he brought in front of the board for?

Any time your name shows up on a police report you get brought in front of the board. I almost didn't graduate because I kicked some druggie shithead's teeth out who attacked me in front of a bar in downtown COMO. He attacked me, tons of witnesses confirmed this, I didn't even get arrested, but had to answer for the situation because I was in the police write up.

Dixon was bad news. Glad he's gone

Then I guess you'll also be glad when DGB is gone, since he seems to be "bad news".

We certainly wouldn't want to actually wait and see if some rumor floating around the internet is really true before getting all genned up and jumping to conclusions on what happened and what should be done about it.

So far we have 'unnamed source makes unsubstantiated claim', well hell, that's good enough for me.

I don't know if this shite is one and the same incident.

Matter article concerning police comments

We'll probably never know exactly what happened and will always be left reading between the lines. But it sure sounds to me like everyone knows what happened, but people, right or wrong, just won't say because they know what's on the line. If that's the case, not sure I'm comfortable with it. I'd hate to lose DGB but I'd hate to have someone who beat the crap out of some girl on the team simply because some, for whatever reason, refuse to say what happened or who did what. I'll continue to wait and see what comes out, but it's just not sitting right so far.

I am not a fan of them and I could be wrong, but I think the Student Conduct Committee that dealt with Dixon is made up primarily of faculty. Also, I can't remember for sure, but didn't Dixon call it quits before any decision was actually made? I can't remember. Maybe a decision was made but he didn't go through an appeal process.

As for Dixon, there was more than enough smoke that I wouldn't want him near my daughter, I wouldn't want him on my team and I wouldn't want him at my school. Damn shame too because the team could have used him. I'm not a court of law so I don't need to be convinced beyond a reasonable doubt. I'm just a fan and I heard more than enough to say frick him.

I'm really hoping DGB isn't heading that route. I'll still wait and see what comes of it all. But it really seems to me that all things are suggesting he hit/beat/whatever some girl and now no one will say a word about it because of who it is. Doesn't appear the witnesses are denying it happened, which you would think you would hear if DGB didn't do it. Rather, they are refusing to say anything. That spells trouble to me until we hear something otherwise.
