Badger board really hoping some MU athlete in trouble is basketball player

[ZiggysFryBoy]

PRN, where've you been?  Haven't seen you around here for awhile.

Good behavior.

[ChicosBailBonds]

So if it was a bball player people would be calling for Buzz's head.  Is the LAX coach gonna get in trouble for this?  Is Larry on the way out for allowing it to happen?

Who called for Buzz's head in the past for much more serious offenses?

Well, maybe not calling for his head, but I seem to recall that he got his wrists slapped and that was at least part of the reason for people thinking that his happy was being messed with.

[Abode4life]

Interesting it is LAX player if it turns out to be true.  Back in like 2006 the club team got banned for a year due to partying/hazing if i remember correctly.  From my understanding the club team morphed into the official mu team.

[MUfan12]

I've heard they wanted to shut down the LAX program because all the stuff they do.

It's a huge money drain, and LW publicly questioned adding the program. I doubt they'd pull the plug, but this kind of stuff can't help.

Well here is the deal so far:
Kid has been expelled from MU.
Coach Amplo has put the boys on a 24 hour drinking rule for 6 days a week. So no drinking 24 hours before practice 6 days a week.

That's a little different than the 24 hour drinking rule we had in place in college

I know.  They get 1 day a week  to get blitzed  and potentially have another 6' 2" guy slug another 5' and nothing women.  It's weak.

I have heard some unfortunate things about the newest athletes on campus, this report notwithstanding.

What did people expect when MU started giving athletic scholarships to traditionals fresh out of wealthy suburban high schools? Surely Scott and Larry should have seen this coming.

Traditionals?  What an odd definition you have of them....almost as if you base it on race.  Weird.

I'll bite.  I know lots of girls and boys out of wealthy burbs who are 2013 recruits.  Squeaky clean kids.   Anyone dropping meth or LSD isn't what they were and its happened countless times over the last 60 years.  What is different is these burbs kids going into a city like Milwaukee and finding buried treasure.

I am shocked, sir, shocked and outraged. Just as you seek more traditionals of all races, colors and creeds from the dairy farms of Wisconsin for our basketball team, so do I caution against recruiting traditionals of all races, colors and creeds from the wealthy Chicago suburbs for our lacrosse team. Why do you always have to make it about race?

Most of the recruits aren't from chi town. They are from everywhere east of the Mississippi.  These kids just want to play D1 against the best.  Sometimes meth, hash, heroin and acid detour a kid.  It's not a new story.    LAX is a new sport at MU and many others and the recruits have been grinding since 5th grade. This isn't a sport with agents lurking in the shadows offering millions to the suckers.  Lets hope the other student athletes learn from this boys saga.

Typical entitled LaCrosse Player. 
LaCrosse players are the most entitled elitist tools in the world.  The next time I meet a cool LaCrosse player will be my first.

School was stupid, should have gotten hockey and played in Kern Center

[4everwarriors]

Hockey goons, now there's a bunch who's as lily white and pure as the driven snow, hey?

No playas in LaCrosse, Kenosha?  Don't be a hater.  How can you be a LaCrosse hater but be OK with Kenosha?

So no drinking, but you can pop all the Mollys you can handle?

[WI inferiority Complexes]

MU LAX has 11 players from NY, 10 from PA, 8 from Canada, 4 from NJ, and two from IL.

[4everwarriors]

Same issues that UW had in the 60's. Too many radical liberals from the east coast.

[swoopem]

And two from Michigan. They both went to my high school and are friends with my brothers who are students at MU right now.

Here is an updated JS article on the matter.  Student broke the female officer's left orbital bone, gave her a nasal fracture and eight stitches.  Not cool.  Student involved was LAX player from Brightwaters, NY.

I can tell you from experience that hockey players - generally speaking - are not the classiest people in the world and their dorms will knock a fly off poop from 1/2 mile away, but I'd take them over LAX players any day of the week.

[jsglow]

Hope he has a good lawyer.  Might be tough to avoid a felony conviction in a plea bargain.

I think we all know it was the drugs talking that night and I'm sure he's deeply ashamed but what's done is now done.  

Hey kids, pay attention.  Not a phone call I want.

[Skatastrophy]

Nobody would be calling for Buzz's head.
Nobody called for Buzz's head with far more serious allegations a few years back, and they sure wouldn't do so because a kid got messed up and took a swing at a cop.

Nobody on the MBB team was been brought up on charges or faced significant jail time.
