Law?

These stupid bastards are really doing their best to flush this damn season. Whether it comes from internal (remaining) captains… or from the coaching staff. Someone needs to beat some sense into these kids.

Not only are poor choices involved, but in almost every instance someone else has been hurt or could have been hurt from their actions.

Jumping in the pool with some girls after it’s closed is pretty tame and I thought humorous in the “boys will be boys” kind of way.

Sexual Assult possibility and multiple DWI/DUI’s?

I cannot put into words how angry at the lack of seriousness on the player’s parts. I know school is supposed to be fun and I’m not against partying at all. But, the things they’re getting involved in is absolutely insanely stupid.

There have been ENOUGH examples.

Mother F. If something doesn’t happen, we’re going to mail in this damn season.

seems he’s pissed too.

My wife tells me I overreact. But, I do think putting Beau and subsequent offenders in an open area and beating them senseless is great idea. Or, the next offender kicks thrown off the team. If Blaine gets caught, tough. It’s time for a reckoning. Time for football players to realize they are not top shit anymore, and can get away with anything.

Use your brains, guys. You have a great opportunity to do some good things for the program this year, so stop screwing around.

So soon after the past couple of incidents.

I can’t think of a bigger way to let your team down at this point in time than to create another headline one week before the first game.

Though I am not one to support harsh sanctions for a first time offense involving a DWI in regards to a player’s status on the team, it wouldn’t bother me one bit if the coach decided to kick him off the team for this incident. Just the fact that he was disrespectful enough to everyone else going through such a difficult period to willingly risk piling even more on top of it is enough for me. Its like pouring salt in an open wound before it even had a chance to really start healing.

That this kind of shit may fly at other big programs – like Florida, OU, Texas, etc. (not saying they have those problems – just examples) but it won’t fly here for two reasons. First, Mizzou doesn’t churn out BCS bowls like those schools. Its much easier to rationalize the DWIs and petty offenses as a kind of “cost of doing business” when you are constantly in the hunt to win it all.

Second, Mizzou bills itself as a family-friendly, “we are in it together” program. It just rings a little hollow when you go sit down in a kid’s living room and tell his parents “we are like a family” and “we take care of each other” when coaches and players of all levels are getting arrested left and right.

Either way, I hope this shit stops for my personal sanity and for Pinkel’s career. Not winning big games may be an unfair knock (or legit, depending on your point of view), but it is a lot easier to combat that critique when you run a tight ship. When you don’t – whether that’s fair or not – people suddenly have a lot less empathy.
