6 Marquette players ticketed for being in a night club

[NavinRJohnson]

Let's put it this way...if Bill Michaels is breaking "the story" I am not terribly concerned. If it was something truly bad, someone with a bit more swag would already have it.

[Aughnanure]

He's getting sooo cocky. Saying they are still working to "confirm" whatever it is they are going to claim. Says "its what journalists used to do."

I suspect they are dragging it out trying to keep some listnership for a while.

Meaning, they're checking on what they can say without getting sued by Marquette.

With the Saints news and the Tebow trade, wanna bet he doesnt get to his "breaking news on MU" because of reasons like

"Not good journalism to give out his info"

This.

And this.

"Not good journalism to give out his info"

and this.

If 'it' doesn't already exist on Twitter, this lazy ass doesn't have it.

"Journalism" and "sports talk radio" should never be used in the same sentence.

I tuned in for a few seconds when they where talking about UW and how they had a chance without Fab Mayo playing, turned it off at that moment cause there's no way in hell the man has any idea what he's talking about

[RushmoreAcademy]

I'm hoping for a Badger loss as much as anyone, but there's always a chance of an upset.  Syracuse isn't Kentucky.

[Aughnanure]

Basically saying there was a fight with DJO being involved. Oh and something about a bottle being used and somebody being taken to a hospital.

[Big Papi]

Per Michaels:

Additional information is DJO was there.  

Fight broke out, reports are DJO was in an altercation with numerous patrons at the establishment.  

Some say other players jumped in, some say players tried to break it up.  

A bottle was used to beat a patron.  Patron beat up pretty bad.  

It was an afterparty after a Bucks game, maybe some Bucks players there but Bucks players not involved.  

Supposedly grainy video tape of incident.  

Additional witnesses being sought.  Ongoing investigation, possible that charges could be brought.

Oh and suppossedly they know more but are refraining due to legal constraints.

When did this fight supposedly take place? The night they were all ticketed? If so, how in the world is this kept quiet by all involved for almost 2 months?

[statnik]

Unfortunately, due to other Wisconsin-related news, this story is now a sidebar on Yahoo's front page.  Too bad.  We'll see if this story can simmer down.

[Pakuni]

So wait .... DJO beat someone with a bottle so severely the guy had to be hospitalized, and the cops just sent him on his merry way?
Hmmmm. Something doesn't add up.

After what took place just last year, do you really have to ask this?

[bobnoxious]

With as quickly as video leaked out on the internet of Water St on St Patricks Day and everybody having a cell phone and adding in the fact the Milwaukee St is always over crowded on Saturday nights all I can do is call shenanigans on all of the speculation.  There is no way not a peep of this was uttered for over 2 months

If you want the story, you know, the facts without the spin, here's the AP story:

Hmmmm. Something doesn't add up.

Thank you.  My thoughts exactly.   

[Norm]

Yes, because if it was at a nightclub full of people who have no association with MU, how does everyone stay quiet? What's their incentive? In today's twitter and facebook social media obsession, I would be shocked if something like that stayed quiet for more than 2 hours, let alone almost 2 months.

[Bocephys]

Some commenter on jsonline is claiming he was there and it was all started by the UW-Madison players.  Obviously take that with a grain of salt, but could make things very interesting.

There were some "peeps" about a fight at a bar after the WV suspensions were handed out, but even that was nearly a month after the incident.

[bobnoxious]

True there were some rumblings to that but with the setting involved it doesn't add up for me.  If this had happened at a Dousman corner bar it would've been front page news immediately

[bobnoxious]

And to add to my last post, look how quickly word got out on Torre Johnson for his bar problems and the world was not as connected socially back then.  Amazing how the technology has changed in such a short time

I don't buy that story for a second, but doesnt seem too far fetched that they would go there, given Kobe and half the Lakers were there the previous night. Obviously a fairly hatnen spot.

[MU Buff]

I'm so disappointed in DJO.  I don't know if he was involved in the alleged sexual assault because I never heard the names but he was with Vander when he got into his incident and didn't stop him, then got suspended for the Northern Colorado game, then this and he got suspended for a half against West Virginia (I don't know if they are related).  Not only is he an upperclassmen, he has a chance to be drafted and play in the NBA.  For him to continually put himself in these situations is just sad.  I love the leadership he's shown on the court but he's been the exact opposite off of it.
