bbmind stay out of trouble.

Sorry to the Notre Dame fans that opened this as the topic could have been you as well but here'a an article on Michigan football.


Two University of Michigan football players reportedly were in a car that allegedly contained drugs when it was stopped by police in Monroe County.

No one was arrested and the Michigan State Police are waiting for lab results before any charges are filed.

The state police would verify only that a traffic stop was made in Summerfield Township last week and that alleged controlled substances were found.

"Because it is an ongoing investigation, I can't identify any of the subjects inside," said Detective Lt. Garth Burnside of the state police's Lawnet office based in Washtenaw County. "They were interviewed and released pending lab results and prosecutorial review."

Sources said a small amount of marijuana and tablets of Vicodin, a painkiller, were found in the car. A passenger in the car apparently told police at the scene that he had a legal prescription for the Vicodin, but it was not in his possession.

Two other people in the car had the marijuana, according to sources.

The traffic stop occurred on a midweek afternoon last week, while the three were heading south on US-23 near Ida West Rd. in Summerfield Township. The car was stopped for a traffic violation.

After the incident was investigated, with interviews completed and evidence collected, the three were allowed to continue.

They apparently were headed to Ohio.

Lt. Burnside said the traffic stop and investigation were handled as they typically are. No arrests were made because the amount of marijuana in the car was small.

"They were released, not because of who they are," Lt. Burnside said. "I can't think of anyone going to jail based on those circumstances."

If the passenger with the Vicodin tablets produces a legitimate prescription, he may not be criminally charged, officials said.

Lt. Burnside said it could take several weeks for lab results to be completed. If they confirm that illegal drugs were in the car, a report will be sent to the Monroe County Prosecutor's Office for review and potential formal charges.

"To us this is like any other case," Lt. Burnside said. "Nothing will be done differently. We try to do every investigation the same way."

Officials at UM said they knew nothing about the situation and could not comment at this time.

Exec CEO Daniel OSU fans pointing out bad off the field behavior? :???:

Hey Shamu

You're fat.

Sincerely,

bbmind's wife

bbmind My point is if you can't produce on the field then behave off of it. Don't be 1-5 vs. OSU against OSU's current coach, struggle in bowl games and get in trouble. Try to mix some success in somewhere.

This begs the question...

If you produce on the field, it gives you the right to act like a criminal off it?

maizerage8620 Yeah,
Everyone talks ******* about Michigan like nothing bad goes on at OSU, because it is the GOD-GIVEN UNIVERSITY. What about Troy Smith and his issues...yeah I know two wrongs dont make a right. This is just a way for OSU fans to claim that Michigan players are stupid or dumb because it makes them feel good inside when it is just pointless.

I forgot, did you hear about the new logo for OSU? It says underneath the logo "Property of Florida"
May 5th, 2007 10:49 AM
bbmind No CEO Daniel it doens't make it OK but it makes it more tolerable.

maizerage8620,

Don't be another guy falling in love with Florida because they did things you CAN'T and HAVEN'T.

I love reading whiteydabandwagoner on the Huddle as most of this posts say Michigan will win this year, etc, etc, etc. Well one of these years he's going to be right and then will come on and say I told you so.

Michigan fans, get your house in order and then worry about us. Winning a game in January or in late November and then you can come to the big boy table at the Holiday Dinner.
May 5th, 2007 06:01 PM
fastforward Florida are you kidding me talk about a rehab center for high school problem children. I wouldn't give that place or it's records the time it would take to read them. The school up North the guy's in the car were probably headed to Fostoria!.

Ummm...No.
Bad off-the-field behavior is not tolerable under any circumstances.

I hope Carr and his staff punish these players accordingly, whether they produce on the field or not.
May 8th, 2007 01:46 PM
bbmind I bet if it's Manningham it won't be more than a slap on the wrist.

Carr has lost 4 straight bowl games, 5 of 6 to OSU and 9 of his last 23 non-MAC games. This won't amount to much.

As for it being tolerable or not that's up for debate. Look at Colorado, they got rid of their coach for a lot less than what many coaches survice, how come? He wasn't winning like they wanted.

Obligatory irrelevant info from you. Why dont you just put Carr's record in your signature, save you the time of typing in in nearly ever post...

Again, what the hell are you referencing Colorado for?
Colorado is not Michigan.

I understand you want to ruffle feathers, but you're swinging and missing...

bbmind = Casey Blake of NOSF
May 8th, 2007 02:01 PM
bbmind Don't kid yourself. I referenced Colorado as a team that had disilpline issues and ran their coach as he wasn't winning. At Michigan Carr could have many incidents like this recent one and be fine, why is that? Because overall he's a winner. Not recently but he has many Big-10 Titles and half a National Championship so he's earned the right to walk out as he chooses.

I don't swing and miss much.

bbmind I'll go in order.

My don't kid yourself was in reference to me being Blake.

No, OSU is no differenct.

You dealing makes no difference:

We are even this week as I see it.

I had Maywesther, you didn't.

I had the Wings losing, you didn't.

Looks even to me.

Just wanted to chime in. Your Manningham comment is way off base. Arrington was just as big last year as Manningham, and Carr didn't even let him participate in ANY spring practices and team functions b/c of disciplinary reasons. I know it would be more beneficial to your argument for your comment to be true, but it's not true.
May 8th, 2007 02:33 PM
bbmind I hate to have to educate you about your own team but here it goes:

Arrington was NOT just as big last year:

Manningham played 3 less games yet scored more Touchdowns

Manningham played 3 less games yet had 150 more yards

Manningham averaged more yards per catch by about 5 and more yards per game by about 28.5.

Let me know when you need help learning who helped your team more, I'll be glad to step in.
May 14th, 2007 03:52 PM
Black Betsy Oh God, here we go.

You are missing the entire point of this thread. I'm not sure why you feel the need to prove yourself all the time by ignoring the subject matter and posting things that mean nothing in the context of the thread.

I was just saying that depending on what the player did, and what proof is given, then the punishment will fit the crime, regardless of the player.

So if I didn't say Arrington was as big last year, does that change anything? My argument is the same. And your last post would be blank.
May 14th, 2007 05:59 PM
osubucks55 All I have to say is that Tressel owns Lloyd Carr and Go Bucks!
May 14th, 2007 06:03 PM
bbmind Black Betsy,

My info was accurate and in response to your claim.
May 15th, 2007 07:38 PM
Black Betsy My claim was that the proper actions will be taken. You're info was accurate, though misused.
May 15th, 2007 08:09 PM
bbmind I don't think it was misused. You made an inaccrate post about Arrington and Manningham and as usual I clarified. My new name should be bbclarification as I continue to properly state what others meant to.
May 15th, 2007 09:15 PM
jake LOL@bbclarification.
May 15th, 2007 11:00 PM
Black Betsy Ok, you're right. Those stats proved that if Manningham was in trouble, he will only get a slap on the wrist.
May 15th, 2007 11:03 PM
bbmind No, but they proved he had a better year than Arrington desptie your claims otherwise.
May 15th, 2007 11:15 PM
Black Betsy True, but that was a side note, having nothing to do with the thread or the point I was trying to make.

To put it differently, I have no doubt (and past instances, at least this year, show) that no matter the name of the player, if they were found to have committed some wrongdoing, the proper actions will be taken. Lloyd is taking enough heat already, if he start playing favorites as far as discipline goes, he won't hear the end of it.

The part about Arrington I mentioned was only to say that he was a big name and major contributor last year (#2 or 3 receiver behind Mario), and Lloyd didn't take it easy on him in terms of discipline at all.
May 15th, 2007 11:21 PM
bbmind I understand your point but you said:

Arrington was just as big last year as Manningham

That's where I had to charify.

It's all good, Coach Carr from Sunday to Friday can run a program as well as anyone in the country with integrity and loyalty.
May 15th, 2007 11:27 PM
Black Betsy I'll second that....... sadly.
