Re: Panthers arrested...

I dont think it was us jumping to conclusions, afterall it was in the paper. If they are wrong then it their fault. It would be nice if they end up being wrong. This is embarassing to the team.

Re: Panthers arrested...

I had a buddy get "arrested" once on the Hill and thrown in jail because he accidently bumped into an officer when walking through a crowd. The charges filed were an absolute joke. Anything can happen in large group like that and when officers feel threatened they will throw every allegation imaginable out there. Nothing good happens after midnight...

Having said that, if I were looking at an NFL career I might lay low for a few months before teams started calling.

Apparently we have made it as a major program - just like the Hawkeyes. Now the DSM Register can cover the program outside of playoff time.

Re: Panthers arrested...

that's pretty much all i heard. she is a friend of one of the players, so take it for what it's worth, but she said that it really wasn't much of a "riot". more like a couple of fights and these guys weren't fighting. just kind of got in the way. but i'm sure it's hard to tell what's going on if your a cop and you pull up on the scene. glad it's not my job.

Re: Panthers arrested...

Well...it will be interesting to find out what actually happened. The Courier is now reporting that the officers suffered broken bones. This could get ugly.

Re: Panthers arrested...

wow. too bad. quoting the paper

"Keith, whose eligibility has has been used up, was Tasered by police after he allegedly charged at officers inside the business. The other two, who are starting defensive backs, were arrested in the parking lot."

i bet the one guy that got hit by the beer bottle caused all the problems. sounds like he's the one that caused the injuries.

Re: Panthers arrested...

They Tasered Keith after he charged them...

As more details come out I have a hard time believing the 'innocent bystander' claims...

Re: Panthers arrested...

could be. just what i heard. bad deal all the way around. but if these are good kids in a bad situation, that would stink.

Re: Panthers arrested...

either way, athletes have to be smart enough to not put themselves in compromising situations. this is why the situation at iowa is so baffling to me. you have to be smarter than your average college student wanting to have fun. when you accept a scholarship, you are accepting the responbility that comes with it.

When police tell you to do something....just please do it. Just ASSUME they're right, OK?

Re: Panthers arrested...

no big surprise

UNI Head Coach Mark Farley's Statement
"This past weekend, Adam Roberts and Darrell Loyd, both members of the UNI football team, were arrested by the Cedar Falls police. The two players have been suspended indefinitely from the football program. The police investigation is ongoing. The young men's status as players will be reviewed once the investigation is complete."

Kim, the hot blonde female officer, had a car pulled over this afternoon. So far as I could tell her nose was, luckily, unharmed.
