Agree with this. The "culture" thing isn't so much the driving bit, everyone knew that was wrong......but certainly is the drinking. I grew up in rural Iowa and you would think drinking is how they breath. Fortunately, most of the time cabs or friends took them home. But not always.

I got divorced in my late 30s. It definitely ***** with you.
The ISU Daily used to publish them. In college, it was a Sunday morning thing to check the story co. Inmate roster to see if you knew anyone.
38 years old! felt like a was back listening to friday night recaps with the boys junior year at isu
I mean, if he was like 28 instead of 38 I get it. We all know it isn’t the first time because a lot of us have been there. “Help” comes in many forms, the OP might not mean he needs to go to rehab.Hopefully he can help himself.
i take it you are not a detective nor do you listen to Murph n Andy?
every single of his appearances this year has included some sort of bar or drinking story.... like Tuesday night at the bar. Thursday night talking about striking out with some lady at the bar. the evidence for a potential drinking problem was there. being arrested for drunk driving is the icing on the cake.
There is polk county inmates Facebook page that updates pretty often. It might have a script that pulls and posts from the website.
This is absolutely true. In my home town there has been a golf tournament in memorium of a guy that died in a single car accident while drunk. And most people get drunk while golfing and drive home. Granted there’s no Uber but even if there was driving under the influence is so common I doubt anyone would use it.
You may be right, but there is a good chance you came from alcohol. LOL
Yep, it’s a dumb move and everybody knows it is but like most people I would be a liar if I tried to claim in my younger years I didn’t drive a few times when I shouldn’t have. Just got lucky.
My Dad got an OWI and it made him stop drinking completely going on nearly 20 years. It saved his life, as he was totally going to drink himself to death. It was a miracle he never got one before that.

If we were to replace the name and picture with an Iowa Hawkeye or Iowa State football player, I wonder how many of us would have a different take on this event. I am asking myself that very question. It is gut check for me.
His personal life is none of my business. Glad he’s ok and didn’t hurt anyone. Not condoning his actions but I feel for a guy that looks like he’s hit rock bottom. Or at the very least is dealing with some emotional issues in a destructive way. This could have ended much worse.
I’ve heard those stories on M&A, it just sounded more like a recently single guy getting back on the horse than a guy spiraling out.
I have people in my life with serious substance abuse issues, and it looks a lot different than this.

As I reflect on this news, I want to believe that the next time a collegiate athlete has a similar event in their own life, that I won't judge how the coaching staff handles the matter or judge the athlete themselves.
I want to believe I will be more empathetic toward 18-24 year old kids than I would someone who is nearly 40. I want to believe I will be less concerned by whether or not a kid's suspension is considered served for a game that was rained out. Or whether a kid is allowed to play in the CyHawk game but not a directional school game because of a DUI or PI that occured in the summer or fall camp.
Ultimately, I never again want to have an adverse view of how a coach's decision regarding how they handle their player's off field decisions. I don't want to concern myself with how those decisions will impact the outcome of a rivalry game or a rivals season. At the moment, it just seems "out of bounds" to discuss any of it on a public forum.
Just one guy's opinion.

Agree. But just think this is what they are broadcasting. Think of all they aren’t saying. I guarantee you MnA are not surprised this happened.
I’m from St Ansgar. We used to drink at the Red Man Inn on Christmas Day.
