Edit - This happened in January and there's just now a report about it for some reason.

[Ari Gold]

just saw this on JS.


The six who were ticketed by police were Todd Mayo, 20, a freshman guard; Vander Blue, 19, a sophomore guard; Jamail Jones, 19, a sophomore forward; Juan Anderson, 18, a freshman forward; Derrick Wilson, 20, a freshman guard; and Jake Thomas, 20, a junior guard.

All six were ticketed for being in the Apt. 720 Club, 720 N. Milwaukee St., in downtown Milwaukee on Jan. 29. All six are under the age of 21, the legal age for drinking in Wisconsin.

Hoping that this incident was handled already if it happened near 2 months ago

Crap.

BFD. It happened in January, I'm sure they were disciplined already.

Who's Don Walker and why is he bringing it up now?

[wyoMUfan]

maybe the suspensions handed out in WV?
probably not but.... I hope no one gets suspended for Thursdays game... damn.

[jsglow]

No biggie.  I'm sure coach discussed the matter with them.  

Wonder why JS is reporting it now?  Wait, I know the answer to that.

[Fullodds]

I'd suspend Jake Thomas.

[mubb34]

Wow........It's not like they had alchohol in their system...

[Ellenson Guerrero]

It would seem odd to me that the guys would be suspended or punished for a violation that happened over a month ago. But still, when will our guys learn...

Raise your hand if you got a ticket for underage drinking or being in a bar underage while at Marquette.

(Avenue Commons' hand raised high).

[Skatastrophy]

Ahh, I didn't see the January date on it.

Why would the reporter wait 2 months to report it?

[Clam Crowder]

This was in January...Why the hell is this being reported now? Get out of here...I think the West Virginia game might not fit with these players. Who was it in that game? Todd second half, DJO first...who else?

I believe , vander, djo, cadougan and todd were all suspended for halves of that game.

To put this in perspective, based on WI's liberal alcohol laws, if any of them had been with their parents they would have been 100% legal to be in a bar/club.

"being in a bar underage while at Marquette" - this literally began Day 1 at Marquette an continued until age 21.

[MerrittsMustache]

Honestly, a $374 fine seems like a joke. I could understand it if they had used fake IDs to get in, but simply walking into a bar as a 20-year-old can cost you almost 400 bucks? I never would have guessed that. Seems like the onus should be on the club, no? Will it be fined for allowing minors to enter?

BTW, the comments on the JS article are hilarious.

[jsglow]

Wow........It's not like they had alchohol in their system...

No kidding.  They were probably stunned to see the cop writing out the tickets.  "Seriously officer?  Coach ain't gonna like this."

[NavinRJohnson]

Were they wearing sunglasses?

[The Man in Gold]

Had they been drinking underage, then there probably is some sort of story.  As it is, wind sprints for everyone, NEXT ...

[robmufan]

This is irresponsible journalism at its finest!  If this article was written within 2 weeks of the incident...then fine maybe you have a story (not much of one though).  To do it now? PLEASE!

[NersEllenson]

This was in January...Why the hell is this being reported now? Get out of here..

Great point..very curious timing.  Love the WIHoops fan and other troll at the bottom of blog who commented - Great program Buzz..why can't Vander stay out of trouble.  Please...like college basketball and football players at Wisconsin don't go to bars.  Give me a freaking break...this is a joke...

Hope Buzz goes off on JS sometime soon...for their seeming witch hunt on MU program...yet to do so really does no good.

I remember in my MU days seeing Brian Wardle as a Freshman plastered in Murph's.  

Water is wet and kids in college drink.

[MerrittsMustache]

I believe , vander, djo, cadougan and todd were all suspended for halves of that game.

DJO and Cadougan are both of legal drinking age so I doubt the WV suspensions were related to this.

[Clam Crowder]

Everyone send Don a nice email, just click on his name on the article heading. I just want to see what he says about the timing...this is a joke
