re: Alabama football players arrested for DUI under Nick Saban

I believe I read Mac Jones no longer drinks alcohol. Hopefully he learned his lesson. Nothing good comes out of it... driving or not...nothing.

Bring up Nemesis Bates. Real sensitive subject for LSU.

Outlaw program
It's borderline Oklahoma under Switzer days mixed in with SMU recruiting

Gosh.. that is almost as many players as have been accused of rape at LSU during the same time span…. difference is at Alabama no head coaches have been accused aiding and covering up.

One of our bball players on Sunday

Today I learned JeaLSU doesn’t stop just because someone died. The most broken people on this board by far.

If he removed the keys this is an act of not driving and he shouldn’t be charged . At least he didn’t drive props for that

College athletes drink alcohol and party, alert the media! I'm not saying driving drunk is ok, but pretty much everyone on this board did it a time or two in our youth. Some probably still do it now. Just saying.

This. It doesn't excuse their actions and certainly not the consequences that court systems and legal processes will enforce.

But, the standard light infantry company will have ~140 bodies assigned/attached at any given time. That composite is close in size, age, and bravado to any college football team.

The Army places every means possible into deterring DUIs from taxi funds, DDs, used to have weekend drunk vans, and I've even been on installations where the MPs would pick you up and drop you off at barracks to help mitigate the issue. The latter was early 2000s and has since been ruled illegal use of gvment vehicles like the drunk vans to pick you up and avoid driving drunk.

Now, any charge of DUI, failed breathalyzer, or refusal to submit to a test results in initiation of seperation. And, the legal action is generally left to the courts.

All that said, with every means made available to help you avoid the decision and every admin/legal measure in place to deter the behavior, there isn't an IN CO in the US Army that wouldn't be heralded for only having 7 DUIs over a 14 year period.

My first assignment in an ABN IN unit never saw the BN go more than 45 days without a DUI in the two years I was assigned to it.

Young kids do dumb things. I certainly did. Thank God it never ended in tragedy, as it easily could have. If it had, I would have equally deserved the max extent of the punishment for the event.

Yeah I represented a young military kid who had just gotten a scholarship to a pre-med program. He told me he would lose everything if he had a conviction for a DUI or even a DUI pled down to a reckless driving. I thought that sounded crazy at the time. Fortunately for him, he had smoked synthetic weed, and the paneled drug screen TBI uses doesn't test for anything contained in whatever strain he'd smoked. It's crazy because the kid never drank or smoked real weed but was going through a divorce and his buddy (also in the military) suggested synthetic weed because the drug screens they took wouldn't catch it. Watching his DUI arrest video was...bad. Guy was in bad shape. But, charges were dismissed after the tox report came back clean, so he was happy with me at least. He definitely learned his lesson, though

Beyond DUI's wasn't there some Monroe Gump players that got caught with guns and a fair amount of pot and nothing ever came of it, a while back?
