Julmisse arrested Thursday, court appearance Friday - dismissed from the team

That is true.

So wait. Is the argument that players should play football in locations where any potential criminal activity is swept under the rug so that they can play football for the university and potentially earn a spot in the NFL? Because that argument is horse ****.

Or he could have gone to Alabama, gotten a DUI, then played the following week, cuz you know, that's how Bama rolls

If a guy has NFL level potential, then yes. Not so he can commit crimes, but just so his chances of getting railroaded are minimized. The blurry word in your post is the word "potential". In East Germany in the 1950s and 60s everything was a potential crime. Wonder if Lisa Simpson has spent all of her money yet...

No. I'm more concerned about their football futures outside of CU. Not that CU should have kissed their asses. Just that they'd have possibly played more (and gotten better)
somewhere else after their troubles at CU. Actually, would have been better for the players AND CU. Not rocket science Duff. FCS and JUCO have more than a few high profile tranfers every year that have migrated down from D-1 due to real or alleged transgressions.

This is baffling. Tupuo and Kafovalu were starters their senior years (great for them) and instrumental in the rise (great for CU). Quit with the sanctimonious "I'm about the player." You don't know **** all about anything it appears.

Boulder County is probably basically East Germany in the 50s and 60s

Don't get me wrong. My advice to him would still be to get out of CU/Boulder/Boulder County ASAP. Just be sure to appear at all of the hearings and keep your classwork in order. You've kind of screwed up your present, just don't screw up your future. The only reason this topic is relevant on a football board is that the guy seems to have a pretty high talent quotient and can possibly be a candidate at the next level. Like a lot of things in life, it's about money. Just seems to me that his future is more non-CU and it is about CU. I'll always go with the players than the "local legal culture", which generally sucks.

It's not about money. It's about the young man. And if you think tucking tail and running back to mommy is in his best interests, I disagree. His best interest is to stand up and man up and prove himself to be someone with character who made mistakes and learned from it. And I'll damned well guarantee you that Mac cares a lot more about the young man than he cares about his effect on the football program.

That all sounds good and I generally agree in the abstract, but if he was at Tennessee, Auburn, Ole Miss, Miss State, or almost any of the G5 or FCS schools in the south or mid-Atlantic, this stuff would be a relative non-starter. Again, my premise in these CU episodes will usually be that the kid is getting screwed by the power structure up there. While I've been a Buff fan since 1967, my outlook has been cemented by the Barnett Era Fake Scandal. But as I said before I've changed my mind on the idea that he should just bolt ASAP. Stay and show up at hearings, tell the truth, get your CU credits, don't believe anything that anyone at CU says to you, and transfer when you're in the clear. It's always interesting to me that many posters here put the interests of CU football above the interests of these kids. If Toupu and Kofavalu (not that they were Boy Scouts) had transferred when they could have, their NFL prospects would have possibly have turned out better.

Topou is in the NFL on the Cincinnati practice squad, FYI.

Hmm the Boulder Stasi? Ever wonder what some people here would say if they happened to be Baylor/PSU fans or alums.

Cool. Hope it works. You're getting sentimental DBT. Many here just care about what a kid can do for the football team and that constitutes their moral outlook. The HC/AD has just been named in a bull**** lawsuit RE Tumpkin. As such, do you really think that the CU "brain trust" has any legal stance other than one of 100% ass-covering. My only agreement with Duff is that I pray to God that AJ has a great lawyer that he or she isn't a CU shill.

You're all about the players fulfilling your CU fantasy dreams. I like that I guess, but I'm mainly about the best CU players getting a shot in the NFL without the Boulder Stasi ****ing with our guys.

If there is a way back for Tony, I hope he talks with Evan Worthington. I can't believe this is the same player as two years ago. Maybe Evan can help him through the tough times he went through and get him back into the fold. All Anthony has to do is take a look at how he's turned his life around.

OK Sara...

That's Dbt's first name? Interesting name for a guy.
