6 Marquette players ticketed for being in a night club

And let me add that jsglow and warriorchick are TOTALLY SURE that our Sophomore daughter has NEVER entered an establishment illegally.  Ahem....

[MU82]

Seriously doubt the JS "waited" to report this.

They reported it when they found out about it.

Don't shoot the messenger. And don't look for conspiracy theories.

It's a small story. The JS shouldn't make it bigger than it is, and neither should anyone here.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Run them untill they puke!  

[Ellenson Guerrero]

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.

Another reason for Buzz to start adopting players.

I have real issue with the way the JS handled this.  First they knew about it starting Feb 29th and we're just reporting it now?  Second, yes they are getting tickets, but what in the story says they did anything morally wrong?  The establishment just let them walk in and the reports don't dig any further into what the circumstances were and have interviews from the club owners????  What kind of shoddy, half-assed journalism is this??  I think there is value to the story and should be reported, but report all the facts and do some leg work before you trot out this piece of goram

Writing an email right now to Don...Pathetic

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).

I got kicked out of the Annex bowling alley for having a beer sitting in front of me while underage.  I am sure the security guard didn't appreciate that I claimed to have no wallet or any other identification.

Disagree...the story says JS found out on February 29th, what was Don doing between now and then AND there is no interview with the tavern or employees?  Shoddy, lazy reporting AT BEST

[Sir Lawrence]

No, the article says that the JS filed an open records request on February 29th, and the MPD released the reports today.  BUT, it's really not a newsworthy story.

[GGGG]

Guys, the open records request was made on February 29...they didn't get the information until later.

This really is no big deal unless the incident mentioned later on in the article involved anyone.

[mu03eng]

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

Timing would suggest otherwise plus I could see Buzz suspending them for a leadership failure in taking them to the club when they shouldn't.  Along the lines of you should have known better.

[MarquetteNation]

Pretty pathetic that a team's success prompts a "journalist" to start digging for dirt in police records. Stop advertising with this paper, MU...I'll stop reading.

wait... you two are bangin? you gotta run that kinda thing through scoop HR.

D. Wilson, Jones and Anderson weren't suspended at all.  I doubt it has one thing to do with WVU suspensions.

Don't be ridiculous.  The MJS, like any other paper, routinely makes open records requests of the police at the end of the month.  It takes a couple weeks to get the information, and then they report on anything that is newsworthy.

[NavinRJohnson]

Seriously, can some of you guys read? The open records request was submitted on 2/29 and the police report release to the JS today.

The question here is why was that open records request submitted? Let's hope this information just happened to be in there, and  there isn't more involved.

[swoopem]

I think it would be a bigger deal if these guys were'nt going out and trying to have fun. They are 20 years old trying to have a good time and in Milwaukee bars are normally the venue for that.  

[MUMac]

If I recall correctly, Anderson played in both halves of the WVU game.  No mention of DW, Anderson or Jones being suspended either.

This really rankles me.  College students being in a bar.  The horrors.  

[Clam Crowder]

This article has been added to in the last 15 minutes...The whole part about MU not commenting, and the club owner talking about another incident. I didn't see that the first time I looked at the article.

Some fine reporting from the quality journalists at KSFY Sioux Falls

Speak up if you never saw an underage MU player in a bar during your years on campus.

We should disable their RSS feed in protest for this reporting.

[KenoshaWarrior]

They do not need to be suspended.  This is equivalent to getting a traffic ticket.

Buzz should feel no obligation to suspend them.

[ibechillindoe]

So they were in a bar not drinking and they get a $374 ticket? An underage drinking ticket is $276.50---totally not talking from experience . Something just doesn't add up there. Who cares if they were at a bar, its the bar's fault they got in not the kids. This is a joke of an issue, if they were drinking I could possibly see why people would get upset.

MU should be put on retainer
