I certainly wouldn't want somebody's poor mother to be caught up in some kind of ruckus on NG at 2:30am. This is a legit safety issue.

Ever been to a depressing old railroad town where folks get drunk and talk about the good old days before the smart ones moved away?
That's what Brazos County would be wthout them damn college kids from over at the big school.

No. Tell me more about your time riding the rails. What was the Dust Bowl like?

I could tell you what my dad's hometown is like, but you're probably too ****ing stupid to understand.

The real question is, you guys want to go back to the Sherman good 'ol boy ways and enjoy 6-6, 7-5 Big 12 seasons?
Bama, Ohio State, LSU, Miami, Fl State, etc. These types of programs deal with this year in and year out. Sometimes its what you have to get used if you like winning.

Get used to players getting arrested for doing nothing wrong?

"wrong" is subjective in that your idea of "wrong" is different than the "wrong" which will get you arrested. Do you think smoking some bud in a handicapped parking spot is "wrong"?

Memphis I appreciate the link,
and this one is off topic and better for the politics board,
but I am not buying the "fact" as quoted by your source.
You would have us believe that your source found data from China, for example, who with almost 20% of the world's population - 4 times that of the U.S. - had that much less incarceration than we did?
Countries that are not free will not freely divulge that info.
Or do we believe that your source was able to contact the Chinese government and were directed to their "Human Rights and World Cooperation" department?
I think not.
PB you asked if I honestly thought that any of those countries had the means to arrest and incarcerate at the rate we do?
Are you kidding?
They can arrrest, incarcerate, torture, and make things happen in their secret prisons at rates that would make our heads spin.
Perhaps we shoud give Putin a call and see if he can give us the latest stats from Siberia or "down on the Gulag."
I suspected the origin and aim of this claim, and as usual these days facts are manufactured to fit the argument.
The sad thing is that most people don't have the critical thinking skills to question what is thrown up on the wall.
I agree there are questions about the study or stat.
What I do not question is we lock people up too much. The fact we are even having this discussion is proof we have a problem IMO.

I don't smoke the stuff so I don't care enough to do anything about it. Just voicing my opinion.
10:45p, 4/6/14
So you're a lazy American who lets laws, you believe are immoral, to continue to exist and then complain when your football players get in trouble for it?
11:00p, 4/6/14
Yeah, that pretty much covers it.. I stayed in a holiday in express last night though.
11:25p, 4/6/14
Voicing ones opinion is an action.
Listen, as single mom rates increase, so will pot use. These are statistics.
Eventually If we don't legalize pot, we will have to arrest everyone not from Utah. Then the Mormons win.

I am sick of hearing it suggested that you have to PICK between having (1) good players or (2) players who can stay clean! What a crock. There is no reason you can't have both.
But if you COULDN'T have both - if truly the only way to a natty is to have a team full of criminals - then the price is too high. If you disagree, then you care about football way too much.
Flame away.

Time to face reality. The vast majority of these players are nothing more than hired mercenaries.

Don't really hear about Stanford or BYU players getting arrested. I do hear the sec players getting rolled more. Just saying
11:56p, 4/6/14
spaceman, 1939 was a long time ago. So yes, there is nothing too high to pay for a natty.

Real easy to blame the cops for doing their job....maybe some of these kids should learn some manners and common sense and quit acting like Thugs!
Posts like this make me see red. What sort of police state do you want us to live in? Disrespect is not a criminal act and it's not one that should result in arrest. There are a strict set of criteria that police officers should use when deciding whether to arrest somebody. "Teaching a lesson" does not number among them and **** you if you think it should, you worthless, constitution-hating, big-government statist.
Also, yes it is easy to blame the cop. That idiot has no sense of perspective and he sucks at his job. Cops should slowly escalate the tools they use in any given situation, starting with the minimum required. In this situation, the police officer in question managed to arrest RSJ because 1) RSJ lobbed some **** talk at a guy who bumped into him and 2) refused to leave the scene (some public place) when the officer told him to do so. That is absolutely the definition of a crappy cop who's bad at his job. He turned a situation with a drunk 18 or 19 year old into a dick measuring contest. Yea, that's exactly the kind of guy I want keeping the peace. Somebody who manages to get his panties in a twist over a drunk kid sticking his lower lip out and refusing to leave the sidewalk.
God forbid we actually demand judgment from our peace officers, upon whom we've bestowed all of these powers that they can use on us.
If your dick is too small to handle **** talk from drunk kids, then get another ****ing job.

Deputy Travis Junior sounds like he's got this all figured out. Nothing to see here folks.

It's not though. The University could have been put anywhere and been just fine

My understanding from a local historian is that Booneville was poised to be the large community of the area until a college was put in a cow pasture. I don't know much about Bryan, but 90% of people in the Brazos valley would be unemployed without these college students.
