RE: Derek Wilder Suspended
Man. That sucks so bad. I'll hold off on comment until we know why Derek was running from the cops. But if found guilty, he'll have to be removed from the team. Its going to weigh heavily on BW I'm sure, which may have a bigger impact on the team than actually losing DW.

I think that last sentence is a bit of a stretch. Derek played sparingly last season due to injury. Replacing DW is a much bigger impact.
But I agree, if he is found guilty from evading the cops, especially with a vehicle, it's going to end of his time at ODU.

Especially if he pays his sons car insurance.

RE: Derek Wilder Suspended
Hopefully its a misunderstanding, and maybe he gets a warning and no guilty verdict. I guess we'll see. He can always play for Marshall if found guilty I guess.

RE: Derek Wilder Suspended
Having actually ran from the cops (and got caught), I'm very thankful my charges did not include a felony. I cannot judge.

RE: Derek Wilder Suspended
Cops always throw the book. This will be reduced to a single misdemeanor of some sort with community service. Does BW suspend or kick him off the team for a misdemeanor?

RE: Derek Wilder Suspended
I really don't get why he has to run away from cops unless someone is losing their life in his car and needs to be seen by a doctor. Why would Derek do this? Very dumb if its for a wrong reason or a silly one. This has got to be difficult for Bobby when has to go preach discipline to other kids while his own kid does something this dumb. Poor Bobby.

He was on a motorcycle. The others in the group stopped for the police. Wilder fled and then wrecked his motorcycle

Ever heard of something called the "fight or flight" response? My guess is he was fearing something (like getting in trouble) and impulsivity took over. Yes, the others stopped, but Derek didn't.

Article says he didn't stop for a short distance and that he was with Aquante Thornton.

So he decided to keep on going because he was afraid of getting in trouble? That might be the dumbest thing I ever heard.

Or having four FCS schools ahead of everyone in CUSA except Western Kentucky -- I understand that CUSA didn't have the best year ever but that one's a big hard to swallow.
But you take your victories where you can find them, so congrats to WKU.
Very unfortunate typo, I think?
