Griz Asst BB Coach Arrested for DUI

[Mslacat]

Why aren't you writing some to your own?

You guys are always pissed off when someone posts a newspaper article about another kitty in trouble, so now you are getting some back at ya. I guess as always, you can dish it, but you can't take it. The multitude of losses to the Griz over the years must have really taken a toll on you. :wink:

Most of what I read on Bobcatnation seems to be written with a sense of humor about it. No real slams there!

BTW: The legal drinking age needs to moved back to 19.

Have a birthday coming up do you?

I was legally, able to drink here in Montana when I was 19. If we are able to prosecute a 13 year old as an adult because he should have know better. If an eighteen year old is responsible enough to go to war and die, and if an eighteen year old is responsible enough to vote in the general election they should have the responsibility (good and bad) to be treated as a full adult with every thing that comes with it. 18-20 is a very dangerous time as an adult (actually you could view it as kind of adult in training) you must accept all the responsibilities and consequence as an adult but few of the privileges.

And for those who point to DUI or traffic/alcohol related offences committed by this group of society, I would point out the number of offences committed are very close to those members of our society who 65 and older. Only in the older populations cases a good portion of those do not involve alcohol. SO......... If you are going to deny 18-20 year old the right to drink based on the likelihood of being involved in a alcohol related vehicle accident, I would say you must also take a way a persons driver license once the turn 65. (the actual number is about 63.5 years old, but we will go with 65)

I see the hypocrites at BN/msu are back to throwing stones. Maybe they should spend more time writing letters to their former players in prison. :loser:

Most of what I read on Bobcatnation seems to be written with a sence of humor about it. No real slams there!

I think the response would have been the same if the situation were reversed. I see kitty fan getting pissed when a cat story is simply posted over here, so there is a difference to be honest.

As for the drinking age being lowered. I think it should be 19 as well, contact your representative. Keep in mind, the State of MT buckled to the Feds threats of pulling highway dollars when they raised it to 21, and it would likely happen again. If having a drink at 19 is more important than getting highway funds, then don't complain when the highways in MT are in even worse shape than they already are. :twocents:

Holy crap! I was just making a joke. I wasn't expecting a dissertation in response!

Reading the Missoulian article on Marso's DUI charge and how he was caught, it was so eerily similar to one where I was on jury duty.

Around 10 years ago, This guy was passed out near the wye area a little bit off the road with the car running. He was called guilty. All jury members called him guilty.

Now we have Marso passed out in his car with the car running.

the only differences in both of these cases is the breath test. Actually, not sure there will be any difference because I do not exactly remember if the person that was guilty in the jury I was on refused Breath test also. I would hope for Marso's sake, that he has a good lawyer and the right jury. The wrong jury could take his refusal the wrong way. May even take it as an admittance of guilt.

Of course, since I do not know everything except what was in the paper, there can be something that lets Marso off the hook. But, if the circumstances are real close, Marso's lawyer better not pick me as juror.

I am on the jury duty rolls. I can just happen to be selected for this case if it gets to court without settlement. Maybe my biased opinion can get me out of jury duty. Marso's lawyer would likely try to prevent me from being selected if he knows I helped convict someone under same circumstances. I do not have a lot of time to spend on jury duty.

Marso used the Alford plea last time and I suspect this case will not make it to trial either. I also suspect some lawyer told him the last time if it happens again, do not take a breathalyzer. My question is, why does anyone who is tired decide to pull into the driveup lane at Taco Bell and bag some Zzzzzzz's? I would love to hear Marso answer that one.

 

[Griz2k]

I realize this is not a funny situation, but I do have to admit that I giggled a little bit after reading that he was passed out in his car in the Taco Bell drive thru.

It does take a long time to get your food at Taco Bell on Broadway. arty:

Tinkle addressed the Marso situation in the post game interview. He said Coach Marso was not going to be with the team for a while in order to give him the time he needs to take care of personal issues he has. Tinks went on to say when Coach Marso has put together a plan of action, and they are sure he is on the right path, then he will be welcomed back. I am paraphrasing here so don't think that was verbatim what Tinks said, but I think I am being pretty accurate.

Lets stay on task here. First of all people do make mistakes but, when you are coaching at any level no matter where it is or if you're a head coach or an asst. you have to maintain a high level of professionalism. This is this guys second chance here in Missoula to be a apart of a program and university with a good rep for the most part and in a great community. Marso didn't even have to interview for this job or anything it was handed to him by Tinkle via Krysko. There were good coaches from Montana who didn't even get a chance to apply for his position and he goes and does this. I've seen Marso in action since he's gotten back and you know what it doesn't suprise me he got another one. He is erogant, fat, rude, and a drunk. All those basketball coaches in my opinion go out way too much to college bars and lets be honest here there are plently or stories from Tinks, Hill, and Marso about "stuff" those guys have done while pie eyed and out downtown.
You can't hold athletes accountable for maintaining a positive image in the community and then go out and do just the opposite especially after you've already screwed up once and been given a 2nd chance. He doesn't get it and in all honesty I don't think Tinks gets it either.
My cousin was at that coaches clinic and he is pissed that Marso was even allowed to be at their practice and I doubt he'll be spending any money on their clinics or camps in the future.
This puts a big black eye on the program before the season has even started and you know what I don't think they will have a good season because, I have a hard time seeing those players respecting that coaching staff after this. The only good thing to come out of this is that Jeff Hays will probably get marso's job if Tinkle is smart enough to fire him. This happens right before that 14 yr old girl in Butte gets killed by a Drunk driver. Bad PR and not good for a program that Larry brought out of dispair after Kennedy and Marso tore it down before. Do the right thing Tinks and get rid of him and lead by example.

So calling him names is "staying on task" ?? Yeah ok :loser:

it's the truth and sorry if I hurt your feelings you must be a fat, ignorant, drunk as well. :finger:

Way to go, call a poster on Egriz the exact same thing you called Marso. Good job on being a tool yourself.


Just :lame: .

 

[Griz2k]

He is erogant, fat, rude, and a drunk.

I'm not sure what his weight has to do with anything.

 

[citygriz]

standards are meaningless if you don't live up to them--or enforce them.

 

[GrizWhiz]

it's the truth and sorry if I hurt your feelings you must be a fat, ignorant, drunk as well. :finger:

mj16..you have much to learn about being persuasive. I don't think anyone around here is going to be convinced of anything by someone who immediately leaps into a bout of immature name calling. I don't know enough about Marso's situation to take on the role of being judge and jury. :twocents:

14 year old girl killed in Butte by a drunk driver the same weekend Marso gets arrested for DUI and it's his 2nd arrest in missoula in less than 4 years. i don't know if you guys have lost somebody you know to a drunk driver but, I have and I know what its like to feel the loss and see the suffering. I've been downtown when the griz hoops staff has been out and the guy can put them away and this is after his first DUI. I got no respect for that or the fact that he gets a 2nd chance here and he can't figure it out. Then Tinkle says when he comes up with a plan and is ready to come back we will bring him back with open arms. Sorry for the insults but, its insane on what is being allowed at the U of M these days. I mean Kramer gets canned at MSU for recruits turning bad on him and the U of M allows it's coach to come back after being arrested twice for the same offense. Not the right thing to do in my opinion. coaching at the D1 level is a priv that this guy doesn't get.

MJ16: Sounds to me that you have a personal vendetta against Marso. I'm not sure that calling him fat, rude and errogant makes you get your point across. If you have seen him, Tinks and the other coaches "pie eyed" around town numerous times, what were you doing, just drinking water? Are you saying that if Marso checks himself into rehab, quits drinking, gets his life together, faces his punishment, admits he has a problem, talks to high school and college kids about not drinking and driving, etc. and continues to coach at a high level as he has every place he has been that he shouldn't be given another chance? I'm sure that you've never made a mistake, but for the rest of us who live in the real world, I think we all agree that people deserve second chances...and sometimes even third chances. I think that the players would respect him a ton if he is able to turn this horrible lapse in judgment into a positive by turning his life around.
