Yeesh. If he's allowed to stay on the team, I sure hope he gets his act together.
Putting the timeline together, did he step off the plane and go straight to a party, pound a few and drive? Seriously poor judgement. Maybe gummies? Pot?

Ow
Hate to be him facing Travis.
Fortunately for him, this is his 1st offense, he's from a great family, and his family is in good with the U of M.
I'm pretty sure legal ramifications will be somewhat soft.
As for the GRIZ, that's tough to say. If he takes ownership, shows remorse, issues a sincere apology to the team, and accepts DeCuire's discipline, he can still be a GRIZ.
I'd be surprised to see him play again this season.

Can’t make these mistakes when you’re representing the Griz and university and are a role model to young fans. If his time is done with the team I’m fine with that. He is lucky he didn’t kill anyone or hurt anyone else doing this.

Gummies??? Nice hypothesis, but cops almost never give out weed DUIs because the field sobriety tests that they are trained in aren't designed for THC and there are no roadside testing devices like a Breathalyzer to determine cannabis consumption. Homeboy was drunk.

Sure, but I knew the consequences as I am sure you did.
Kids make mistakes. Adults make mistakes.
All we want is for Connor to learn from his mistake. I'm not here to debate the severity of a DUI, or the quality of a person Connor is or even if he came from a good family. This is a mistake, a rather preventable and dumb mistake, but also an all to common one many Missoulians make ( just judging by the weekly DUI blotter in the Missoulian). Cast stones, don't case stones.
As for whether that is a part of the Grizzly team, that is for him, TDC and the athletic department to sort out. I know that since the early 10's, they have a protocol to follow. So whether he should be a part of the team, suspended or booted from it will likely come from the guidance from that protocol.
We just hope regardless of outcome of his status on the team, he can learn from that mistake and not make it again. Because if he does figure it out and learn, he's doing a lot better than the guy you read in the paper every once in a while that is nabbed for his 8th or 13th DUI.

Any truth to the rumor that MSU football offered him a coordinator position the very next morning?
Connor is a great kid. Bad mistake.
Connor is a great kid. Bad mistake.
OK, here's the question that hasn't been asked. I wonder why?
He is a 19 YEAR OLD FRESHMAN!
Q: Where the hell did he get the alcohol???
High school friend?(he is a Hellgate grad)
Upper class teammate?(wait for the next shoe to fall)
Family member?
Some idiot convenience store clerk?
BTW, I could walk in and buy beer when I was 17(legal age was 21).
And, YES, I drove drunk, for all you 'Holier That Thou' moral high ground phonies.
And, YES, YES, I have a DUI on MY record, so I won't be casting that first stone.

Unless you know the kid or whether he has been in trouble before, I believe such righteous indignation is misguided and maybe even unjust. A little grace and compassion is called for here. I recall Mike Chavez faced a similar situation and redeemed himself. Two decades later, Chavez is a good citizen and admired. Let the process work before banishing the kid.

great. Mistake. He’s a MT guy and walk on. Don’t know why he would get booted.

It must be nice that you have never made a mistake and you never needed a second chance. It is hard to imagine how you could be so perfect that you have never needed help, forgiveness, or a shot at redemption. The rest of us are flawed and appreciate a little empathy.
