You can go to war, shoot a gun, own a gun, kill an enemy all at the age of 18,19,20... but you can't drink a beer...

Careful with that one, it's an antique!

Again, I disagree. The story isn't about having a beer. It isn't about being "underaged" so much though it does go into the rules are rules and college athletes represent ya da ya da. Same if it were UT athletes.

on a downtown street, under the influence

not in the dorm. not at home. not supervised.

This is nothing to support or to set aside, IMO. If you their parent, you're not concerned?

Last season's loss to the Rockets started their downward spiral.
No big deal.

Let's just all remember that these three are student-athletes (see your AUP) and have pleaded not guilty and have not been convicted of anything yet.

Did you post that on your board?

BTW: 1:34am. Is that alleged? No place to be.

I'm not condemning so much as saying, very bad idea.

Drunk or sober....they'll still kick your candy asses...

Very intellectual response. That took a lot of thought on your part.

The ladies in question are fortunate that it was the police who found them at 1:30 am on a street corner, allegedly under the influence of intoxicants. It could have been much worse.

Maybe they should try drunk- sober didn't work out so well last year.

Blame the Republicans!

-Begin Social Studies Lesson-

Secretary of Transportation Elizabeth Dole told the states they would lose their federal highway funding if they didn't raise their drinking age to 21.

Were they drunk or sober for that one.

In seriousness, past history should have been an angel on the shoulder for them. Hopefully this incident will play that role for a couple years anyhow. You can't dodge bullets forever.

The Lady Falcons are a fine basketball team. I really enjoy watching them play. They deserve respect. They are worthy opponents.

BG Coach came to Ann Arbor to watch UT compete in the NIT. And I rooted for BG in the NCAA. I like the Lady Falcons except on gameday with our Lady Rockets.

There are several Lady Falcons who are easy on the eyes. I would love to be hanging around when some of the Lady Falcons get toasted. I might start to looking downright handsome after they have had their fill.

Well they were on ladders...so I'm gonna go with sober.

I would hope that they do indeed take this as a warning to be a bit more careful with drinking.

The player who came through the program and blew a BAC in the mid .20's ? I tend to think that if you can be that drunk and physically operate a car, you're building a pretty high tolerance for alcohol and may have a serious issue on the near horizon
