2021 Offseason Thread

I got caught with that exact same thing on highway 36, although I was going over 100 and I think they ticketed me at 94. I definitely don't drive like that anymore.
 
For anyone who drove the speed limit in their late teens and early 20's, please raise your hand because I'm not going to raise mine.

On top of his suspension from the bowl game. Did we ever find out that reason?
 
What is the law in Colorado for driving on suspended, idk? In NM, it's minimum 10 days I think. I had a co-worker years back that got pulled over doing that. He did a month when all was said and done.

I did for a while. Driving a crappy car with no power will do that to you.

It wasn't by choice.

I don't think he will be on the team much longer. Another option is to just send him home for spring football and do online learning or enter the transfer portal.

No matter where he ends up playing football it is obvious that he has some growing up to do and probably some issues to work through. Losing his dad the way he did doesn't help but despite his problems that seems to be a good family.

I wonder if it wouldn't do him some good to take a semester off from football and go live with Laviska for a while. Spend some time around a trusted and respected older brother who has demonstrated a lot more maturity. He could take classes at a local community college to stay on track academically and to keep his time constructively focused while he is figuring some things out.

Take a semester off from school and football to go live with his rising star NFL brother? Dude. We want him to get his **** together and be a player at CU, not drop out of school and become part of Viska's entourage.

I think he is going to be taking this semester off. It's a question of where he will be at and HCKD is still at the stage where he has to make examples of people who can't conduct personal responsibility. That's why I think he's probably finished in Boulder.

Feels like an overreaction to me. Had he been under the influence I would understand needing to take some time off.

I understand the point, but I think it still a leap to get there. Sure. Dumb-assery. No doubt. And without a license moved him from infraction to misdemeanor. (I don’t know what the DUI got pled down to-as I recall, he was sitting in a non-moving car while over the limit, which is illegal but different than “driving” it.)

He is still well short of anything causing harm to anyone else. Definitely a bad trend, but man I know I was worse in college. Different time. Different standards.

Hope he can get it together. These issues can be resolved without damaging his future... or even his future with us. But he has no more mistakes in his buffer.

You two might be correct in how this turns out. It's never good to get into trouble with a head coach that didn't recruit you in the first place and that's the angle I'm using in this case.

He was already cited for a DUI, which is why his license was suspended

Right, got that. And had he been under the influence again then there'd be a serious pattern developing. The infraction of speeding with a suspended license seems like a typical adolescent slip in judgement. Compound that with the DUI (that we really don't know the details of) and he should certainly face some discipline but to the extent of being kicked off the team seems excessive.
