I'm sure Don Walker will write ~10 articles about this.

[Warriors10]

ESPN Wisconsin folks and Ball himself saying that MPD was out to make an example for him.

Donny will probably say the same thing.

Is that a photshop of Montee with all those traditionals?

Has to be more to the story in order to get a ticket.

I think it takes EXTRAORDINARY HUSTLE to trespass at a BLOCK PARTY.  OOF.

By all accounts Ball is a great kid, with great character.  Perhaps a jealousy related issue..Ball talking to some girl, and house owner not liking it..asks him to leave..and Ball takes offense?

Whatever the case, this seems comparable to the MU athletes getting cited for being underage in a bar - a non-story, period.  Will be interesting to see what the Journal Sentinel and Madison paper publish..

It'll be interesting to see if the house in question is firebombed.  If whoever called the cops goes to UW, God help them.

Where are the unconfirmed rumors of other things that didn't actually happen?  Where was every other player on the team during this moment?  Can we get a summary of every time a player supposedly drove 26 in a 25, consumed a drop of alcohol (even at the legal age), or didn't wash his hands after going to the bathroom over the past three years?  Come on Urinal Scentinel, give us more substandard reporting like you do for MU!

As far as the "story", do. not. care.  A non-story, does not change my perception of Ball, Bielema, or UW.

The "no tresspassing" is a result of the wonderful City of Madison and Madison Police Department.  They have never liked the Mifflin Block Party and have been trying to do all they can to prevent it (just as they successfully crimped the State Street Halloween Party.  The $429 tickets were set up to hit everyone for underage drinking.  To get out of the fine, the residents needed to have some sort of "no tress passing" or claim the individuals were not invited to their party.  They may not have known Ball and speculated he might be a minor, so they claimed he was tress passing.

So they cuffed him for a ticket?  And I thought the MU Night Club incident was overblown...

Yeah, that is a strange part of this story.  Likely more to it than what I gave.  At the time I wrote that, I was unaware of the handcuffing and perp walk.

I am sure that butch, fran and the other idiots from buckyville will somehow spin this that this is good for college sports in Wisconsin.  Oh wait, butch won't comment because it has nothing to do with Marquette.

[KenoshaWarrior]

This has not come out yet, but my friends sisters, uncles, dead lesbian niece was there and she said that Monte Ball hit a completely innocent white male majoring in AG Journalism from Wisconsin Rapids over the head with a bottle.  Trust me this will be a huge deal and is just the tip of the iceberg.  I

Thanks.  Totally agree, and totally reasonable.

[Hards Alumni]

As someone who lives in the Madison area... this is totally the police out to get anyone who puts a toe over the line.

They arrested twice as many people as they did last year... most of which were for open container violations.

It is pretty ridiculous that the city has cracked down so much in recent years.

Oh, it IS a non-story for sure.  Just loving the terrific schadenfraude quotient of this.  How are those poor pearl clutching, faux-moralizing, phony a**hole Badger trollers going to choke this one down?

Should have been wearing some anti-Walker protest sign.  Then they would have just let him go.

What a surprise.  Not a challenge to the point, just a personal attack.

You're the one arguing politics on a basketball forum.  gtfo.

[jficke13]

I don't see any reason why this thread shouldn't be in the Superbar, except for the "woe-is-me" inferiority complex stroking going on by pointing out the "vast jsonline conspiracy" against MU.

[lurch91]

At least Ball didn't run, assault a police officer and get pepper sprayed.

News flash, college aged young adults like to have alcoholic beverages!
