Another arrest

[Cydkar]

I thought of a million jokes to reply to this, on this day, but I'll let it be as I'm sure I'd get killed.

I must be far too normal to even understand where you would go with that to make it funny.

This is getting to be a bit stupid. Distracted driving and drunk driving are both bad. Drunk driving is illegal. Matt shouldn't have done it. Abdul shouldn't have done it. Hopefully neither do it again.

At some point it ceases to be our business. It's their business and their family's business and Fred's business. The legal stuff will play out. If you feel strongly enough about drunk driving that you can't support Iowa State basketball, so be it.

its not the person, it's the situation. most jokes are this way. for god sakes, this pc world we live in is terrible.

Some people are on here sounding like idiots while they compare driving under the influence to texting/eating while driving. Just shut up. Drinking and driving is dangerous and everyone knows better. Others on here sound like complete squares that are clearly out of touch with the reality of the world we live in. Newsflash to the squares: most people that drink socially have gotten behind the wheel when they shouldn't have. It doesn't make it right, but saying a 19 year old was stupid is redundant.

Anyone who still uses the term "squares" is instantaneously irrelevant to me. If you can't move past 1960, I don't need to listen to you.

ESPN just posted the story about Matt on their site. http://espn.go.com/mens-college-bas...a-state-cyclones-arrested-driving-intoxicated It's linked from their ticker on the college bball front page. That should be a pretty interesting message board to watch for a while.

Matt's parents being upset about this is a bit different than a bunch of random message board posters belittling him when they don't even know any details.

Matt was at the Cyclone Club/Letterwinners Club golf outing with us Friday - he's a nice young man. Very engaging, very polite. Assume he was that way at the reception afterwards at Jack Trice too. I doubt that he would describe fans being disappointed in him as "belittling" him. I can ask him if you want...

Its been up for over 24 hours. I got a notification on my phone from ESPN yesterday afternoon. With more success comes more interest from ESPN. Had this happened 5 years ago, ESPN probably wouldn't of touched it.

19 years old. Does a lower blood alcohol limit apply to those under the age of 21 and driving? I thought it was .02% for those under 21.

That's what the law was when I had one about 10 years ago. I blew a .04 .

You didn't have an OWI then.

 

[dualthreat]

My money is they saw the bad brake light... pulled him over for that, and then they had reasonable suspicion that he had been drinking. Being under 21 anything above a .00 I think they can call an OWI. This sucks. Start the year no Thomas, No McKay, no Nader...

We'll probably only win each game by 15 now.

I'll just stay home to save myself the embarrassment

I love these threads, everyone is on their high horse right now, and it's absolutely hilarious.

Even a lot of posts from those on their high horse about others on their high horses!

 

[CloneZone13]

C'mon Matt- you're better than that.

[Cyclonesince78]

I think a more important question is which causes more deaths:
* Drunk Driving
* Or high horse riding. I've never heard of any stoner horse deaths, so alochol wins again.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Better to get these things out of the way early. Sooner or later a good % of the people that D&D are going to get popped. For most intelligent people an easy way to stop D&D is to get an OWI. Glad no one got hurt.

It's the offseason. There's really not anything to use to update your college basketball website with unless a recruit/transfer signs, teams schedule games, a coach gets hired/fired or a player gets arrested.

Love the leadership on this team.

Nothing better than leaving the gym at 10 pm after getting some workouts in with my team #cyclONEnation is a #Brotherhood

Maybe he should have added this:

"Going to swing through Campustown just in case someone needs a ride!"

Tell that to lakesbison.
