WOW....the hits just keep on coming!

[NersEllenson]

Wow...that's actually kind of sad...hate seeing a kid - even if he did diss Marquette - throwing away potential, or creating more hurdles in their life than there need be...

[mug644]

Truly disappointing, as he seemed to have put his troubles behind him and was undoubtedly excelling with the Gophers.

If the story in this link is true then this is pretty weak.

My guess is that the gopherhole might not be sharing the whole story.

[Norm]

He got arrested for a facebook post? Geez, what a way to go down....

[mikem91288]

Shut up to all that say we should have kept him on and who wish we still had him. This kid is cancer to any team he plays on.

[willie warrior]

I believe that he was in trouble in JUCO also. The guy is a borderline convict!

[Mr. Nielsen]

I don't feel that bad now again that he is not at Marquette.

[Badgerhater]

I'm happy the few of the stories about him don't mention that he started at MU.

The Scene: County Lock Up

Convict: What are you in for?

Mbakwe: Facebook post...

2 fouls and only 1 point for Wes Matthews.  SC is right, those WERE the days.

Ooze with a solid first half.

But, will Tubby and UM finally dump him?  Not a chance.

[MerrittsMustache]

From what I've heard, it's likely he won't even be disciplined by the team.

[icheights]

If all he did was post on a facebook, this might be on of the most ridiculous things ive ever heard someone going to jail over.

Violating a restraining/no contact order is not ridiculous....there is a reason she had to get a restraining/no contact order....we do not know the facts or background of the order. Posting on a facebook page is breaking the law in this instance.

EDIT: Ramsey County Jail is very far from a fun experience.....no JayBee I have not stayed there, I have friends that are deputies and have toured the place.

Haha, no because that is awesome.  This is just stupid.

It's pretty simple, really.  When a judge orders you, "don't do that or you'll go to jail," then you should be smart enough to not do it.  Look at it this way:  he's being punished for being stupid, not for posting on Facebook.
