Two UL players locked up

He just stepped in to help out a teammate (from what it says in the articles).  They may have been intoxicated which would prompt the cops to keep them over night.  Who knows. 

This is darn near a non-event when it comes to playing ball, IMO.  A little bar room scuffle, who hasn't been in one before? (Be honest with yourselves, I don't see this as being anything different than that in the two articles. Don't let the hatred for a program skew the facts).   

If Smith is suspended for a season can we get video of you eating 1000 shoes?

This doesn't sound like a big deal to me.  

Sorry.  I can't get worked up about it.

Sounds like Smith-- at worst-- intervened and tried to stop the cops from arresting his teammate.  

Gosh, he's evil.  

and must be destroyed?

Over Who?

I'm sorry but I agree with Hoop Dreams.....Just another example of Tosa East's garbage.  Did you people know their basketball team this year had 2 players kicked off for attempting to make a lady withdraw money from the ATM while holding her daughter captive?  I can post the link if people do not believe me.  The best part is that they left her alone to call the cops....Tosa education.

I'm off topic.......excuse me.....back to the argument

Jerry Smith is a punk and I was so glad  he did not come to MU.  It would have been another recruiting mistake by the former coach.  Personally I watched him play high school basketball and was convinced he was a ball hog and very overated.  He has proven this with his time at Lousiville and like Hoop Dreams said, what else would you expect?

This has got to be some of the dumbest logic I have ever seen.  Tony Smith played basketball at Tosa East - was he a punk to?  My dad went to Tosa East - good thing he was able to overcome his "Tosa education" enough to be admitted into Marquette's PhD program.

Smith's shooting ability would have served us very well the past few years.  He's a better outside shooter than any of the big 3, and how many times were people on this board lamenting our lack of an outside shooter over the past couple of years?  He certainly would have been able to eat up more minutes than any of our other back-up guards last year.

More charges for Smith and Jennings.

This was more than your simple bar fight.  You don't get a triple bill for getting into a scuffle after a few beers.

Maybe the Ville doesn't suspend them.  Maybe they just go and sit in the pokey for a few months.

This looks exactly like a bar scuffle in which some off-duty officers stepped in. 
Cops will want to throw the books.
D.A. won't let that happen. 
Defense attorney easily claim that Jennings did not know they were police and wearing shirts doesn't make someone a cop, therefore could be seen as self defense.
"internally" won't be that much.
