Clayborn
- Thread starter Clark
- Start date
Actually, you should just find a new place to post. I don't know, something more hawkeye related. THAT, would be my best advice.
Just wondering what language it is where "several" and "zero" have the same meaning. One would think that if "several" suggestions were to be offered, at least one would follow.

No one forces you to post here.
I'm aware that it's sacred law inscribed from the holiest orders of Hawkdom, that to achieve eternal sports fan salvation from the blessed wing of Herky himself that Hawk fans are required to annoy and pester Cyclone fans, and act like ******, all to further glorify the almighty Hawkeyes, but you could take a break every once and awhile, you know, if you find Cyclone fans POVs to be bothersome.

Probably the same language where "zeroo" is a word.

I find the "guilt before innocence" POV to be bothersome, along with the theory that that the U of I athletic program and the Johnson county legal system are busom buddies. I find those points of view bothersome.
Serious title contenders can beat mediocre teams like Northwestern. Iowa can't. Next question.
You'd have to ask his lawyer. I'm pretty sure it's more than "I'd really like to finish this season before we start the trial."
That very well could be the real reason he, and his attorneys, wanted it pushed back. I'm just saying he had to have a legal reason to give to the judge. Usually when trial dates get pushed back like this, it's to allow the two sides to work out a deal.
I guess we're just pretending that Iowa didn't lose their starting quarterback early in that game?

No excuse. See ISU/kNU.
I'm not sure how many people really believe the "guilt before innocence", but it's frustrating to many that when an Iowa player is arrested, the trials are frequently pushed back, and when an ISU player is arrested (ala Berryman), they're quickly dealt with.
There might be perfectly legitimate reasons that Clayborn's trial has been so ridiculously delayed. It's also incredibly possible that he's getting some kind of preferential treatment. Hawk fans act like it's impossible for the legal system to be manipulated if some powerful people want it to be. It's possible that due to Clayborn's status, he's not being dealt with the same way as others. It doesn't mean that's the case, but the only way the situation doesn't seem slightly suspicious is to those wearing blinders.
I thought you wanted to be a lawyer? I find it curious that you have this jaded view of the legal system.
As for your insinuation, I think it would hold more water if Clayborn himself had a lot of money. Those are the people who can generally exploit the holes in the legal system.
And yes, I find it extremely hard to believe that judges consider what team the guy plays for when deciding the case. There are a lot of things I could see judges being somewhat biased for/against but this isn't one of them.
I see your point but I think it's a different animal when it happens during the game than before the game when you can prepare the kid all week in practice.
There is a difference between having a 'jaded view' and being a realist. Money and influence speak the loudest. Yes, even in America can these things manipulate even our court system.
I should clarify. I'm not saying that the legal system is totally corrupt. I'm saying that corruption is POSSIBLE. Doesn't mean it's happening, but that it could. Clayborn is going to face a trial at some point. It's not like he's getting off the hook. That said, it's really not that hard for a trial to be delayed. It happens every day for a lot of reasons. It's not that Iowa players are getting an illegal treatment, it's more that ISU players get very swift and hard justice, and they play paddy-cake with the Hawk players by comparison. It's just that there really appears to be a discrepancy at times, and anyone who isn't blinded by their love of Iowa, is hard pressed not to notice.
