I miss college in the 80s...

I miss a lot of other things from the 80s too!! A lot of folks on these football, basketball and lax boards to commiserate with.

That wasn't the worst thing you could do. Some kid in my dorm broke into the former mayor's crypt, stole his head, and boiled it in the lounge kitchenette. He got kicked out for life.

Mayor John Crouse. If I remember, he was an art student who wanted a skull for his drawing class. Rather than buying a plastic one, he took the unusual route of desecrating a mausoleum in Oakwood Cemetery. Kid really didn't understand that what he did was wrong, much less morally reprehensible.

You think if a regular student did what Fab Melo did they would have been allowed to resubmit a paper?
They would have been kicked out of school for cheating.

If it had been a regular student athlete, the professor would have taken the resubmitted assignment, with no further scrutiny.

So, the opposite of what happened.

John Crouse is the guy that paid for Crouse College to be built. It was a memorial to his departed wife.

Looks like he still doesn’t understand, he tried to build a record label off the notoriety gained. He maybe have been ahead of his time by Doubling down on poor behavior though.

Dafuq? Is this real? Any idea what happened to that human being in life?

That may very well be the batshit craziest thing I’ve heard from college shenanigans.

Maybe he is related to the Winchesters

I don’t buy that. He may have said it, but I do not believe it.

Interesting retweet.

I can be down with that speech. It all depends on the nature of the infraction

And Dino in general has seemed to be a second chance kinda guy.

It’s how we got Alton Robinson.

 

[bigmike]

Agree. Facts and circumstances, baby - facts and circumstances.

Yup. Nick is a fine speaker and I am glad it worked out for the player in question.

I am a big supporter of giving kids second chances, especially if they come from bad circumstances, but as others here are saying, there are some things that there is no recovery from. Hopefully our staff is very clear about expectations and unbreakable rules from day one.

Interesting retweet.

Coach Sabin talking about second chances vs just kicking kids to the curb.

 

[Cusefan69]

Someone probably counseled him to keep it "in house." Good guidance. Pay your dues, take care of business and likely get reinstated. Don't worry about what other coaches do or don't do.

 

[AZOrange]

Wait he made skull stealing into a “thing”?

And neither did the voters, apparently.

I think everyone deserves a second chance. But with second chances come altered expectations. Goes with the territory.

 

[AngryOtto]

It will be interesting if he is back for spring ball.

Also any update on Tuzama? Bailey said he has not been with the team since ND game.
