The attitude towards drinking and driving is still far too lenient. I'm glad the law comes down hard on it.

And Womble got a DUI and was kicked off the team...It really only matters if the kid is a star or not...didn't Progar or some other star DL get a DUI and got a slap on the wrist a few years back?

Wasn't Womble a multiple offender though?

Progar I believe did after a MACC game and missed the bowl game. Might have been the year before the orange bowl.

Edit: just confirmed http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/20...daddy-bowl

Progar was back the following year, so yea, it was a slap on the wrist for him

If the Cubs got no hit AND TLL was gone this would have been the worst day in history

Speeding, DUI, suspended license, no insurance - the Grand Slam of driving.

If Illinois is like Michigan, Monaghan may have to quit school much less football and get a job. DUI alone in The Mitten costs one upwards of $10k in fines and fees.
