Re: Jordan got off easy

You put someone's life in danger anytime you go 30 in a 25, too. I hope you don't do that...ever. JE didn't make a good decision to drive after drinking. It does NOT make him a "scumbag" or a "loser" no matter what you say. It makes him a person who made a very poor decision that I hope he learns from and moves on from to be productive in his life...maybe even work to keep others from making the same mistake. I'm sorry that someone close to you was killed by a drunk driver but I don't think you are being productive by banishing from society anyone who has made this mistake or similar in their lives.

Cosign, I am frustrated over JE's decision but it is too early to throw the book at him.

If he goes to High Schools and talks to kids, he could end up saving lives in the long run.

He made a horrible mistake and I think it was very selfish. However, he is very young and has a chance to learn from this. Lets just hope he does.

I lost my brother in a car accident a few years ago. I was in the car and held him as he died. So I can feel your pain, it is with you all the time and other people might not understand it but JE did not drive the car that killed your fiance's Dad. You can't transfer that hate onto him, it does neither of you any good in the long run.

Hopefully JE speaks out to younger kids and lives are saved. JE isn't a bad kid, just a selfish one. Hopefully this was a wake up call..

Agreed. I just have trouble respecting somebody who would let their team down while putting others at risk. If he wants to go speak to schools (doubt he will since he's gone after this year), great. That doesn't change the selfish decision he made.

Re: Jordan got off easy

For the record PantherN8 I don't care but I'm having fun getting everyone else stirred up because you all think you're so smart with your little comments and thoughts of other people. I know people don't give a **** what I have to say and I don't care that's why i usually stay quiet. I put that earlier because I knew you would keep writing and fighting with me becasue you actually think people give a sh*t about your opinions. Oh and you don't like my profanity then you're an idiot because it is used by almost everyone, everyday in society and is a way in getting the point across!

You are quite the wordsmith.

I guess you really put me in my place with that witty and well thought out response.

Keep going, you are really starting to sound intelligent. LMAO!!

Re: Jordan got off easy

I don't want to disappoint anyone here but some of you are almost naive in your thinking. You talk a lot about how these kids should be punished but you haven't checked into any facts, you respond only to what you hear on this board. Jordan is merely the next UNI athlete that has made a huge mistake and he won't be the last. A couple of years ago we had a purse incident, now we worship him, I guess the statue has run out on that crime. It's too bad Jordan isn't an underclassmen so that he could put this all behind him before graduation. If you would go out and check public records I think you will find that it has actually been quite a few years since we have not had at least one player on the BB team with a DUI, this doesn't even take into account the issues with the FB team. I'll let you do your own research.

Really? Who was the last bb player with a DUI? I remember Barz carrying beer across campus a couple years ago.

Could somebody have died from Lucas taking an Ipod? I'm not saying it was alright, but this is apples to oranges IMO.

My bad, I guess I didn't realize that this was no big deal.

When did they get internet in Bellevue? Hell, when did they get electricity in Bellevue?

Bellevue is the white speck on the lump of chicken **** that is Clinton.

They're all big deals, but too much is made out of it by people that can't do anything about it and then we completely forgive them. If you reread my post I said it has been years since we didn't have someone on the team with a DUI, that would indicate that since Jordan just got his, we have other(s). Look it up. The reputation we have worked so hard to accomplish has been blemished for years.

Re: Jordan got off easy

3 games is completely reasonable as of now. what if he is found not guilty? what if he gets deferred judgement? so you are saying that a judge who has likely seen thousands of these cases doesnt know how to punish people that "could have killed someone"? jordan doesnt deserve to have his life trashed for a foolish mistake. had he crashed into someone and injured them, then he would likely be off the team. BUT HE DIDNT.

Re: Jordan got off easy

As somebody alluded to earlier, JE's in for a lot more that a 3 game suspension. Someone I know with a first-offense DUI a couple of years ago ended up with over $3K in fines/court costs/attorney fees, plus two days in jail, plus high risk insurance for x years (forgot the exact number). And of course loss of drivers license.

Not insignificant, considering as with JE there was no personal injury or property damage.
