Msu OC charged with DUI

[SoldierGriz]

I know I sure as hell would. Hell, I'd be typing the same thing if it were my father.

Montanans need to get over the whole "drunk driving is okay" thing. It's not, and the repercussions are horribly real, as DBM so sadly pointed out on the first page of this thread.

A major part of being a college football coach is the expectation to be a leader and mentor of young men. House utterly failed in that responsibility, and it should cost him his job. Sixx has clearly failed to set the proper expectations for his staff, and that should likely cost him his job as well. Actions have consequences. Dial up a fu-king Uber.

I don't disagree with what you're saying, but I have a sneaking suspicion that there are several on here that are blowing it up just because it's the Cat coaches.

Because FTC. :lol:

Just a tad hyperbolic, don’t you think? In reality, if the Griz even hired a guy with two prior DUIs and NCAA violations galore, I would be pissed. If that guy racked up his third and we only suspended him for 3.5 hours, I would be pissed. If our OC then, less than six months later, (allegedly) crashed a school vehicle, fled after a vehicle swap, and then got popped for a DUI in the second car, thus allegedly drunk driving two vehicles in one evening, I would be pissed. So, yeah, pretty much the same posts.

Frankly, MSU’s reaction, or lack thereof, to both situations and other situations in the past several years shows exactly what kind of program they run over there.

Ding ding ding!

This coach crashed a university vehicle while driving drunk. He could have killed somebody. He then tried to cover it all up by having a buddy come and help him out and get the crash vehicle off the street. He jumped into another vehicle (I’m guessing the one he switched with his buddy) and continued to drive drunk after doing this. How flipping idiotic does one have to be here. If a Griz coach did anything close to this I’d be the first to say get rid of his ass.

Exactly. To allegedly attempt to cover it up and run from the scene of what would be your first offense when the MSU precedent is that you can get up to three and keep your job just shows low IQ in my opinion.

A winning program on the upswing wants to deflect and marginalize behavior like this, hoping it does not derail their momentum…...

A rival program on the downswing then ridicules them for being win at all cost….

Hmm......

I hate to say this but nothing will come of this unless Cruzado decides to step in and let the AD and head coach know something must be done. If not you hear will the slap. Leaving the scene in a "cover up" car should persuade Cruzado to express her "disappointment." Bad situation for sure.

I didn't realize how many saints we have here on eGriz. Don't misunderstand me, I'm not condoning their actions, but the villagers with their pitchforks are sure out in force here! Frankly I'm a bit surprised that none of you have suggested a public flogging for both of them while having to forfeit their rights to ever work and earn a living again. I wonder how many of you would be typing the same stuff if it were a Griz coach?

Good for you. The MSU program needs a protector like you right now. Way to fight back!

I'm guessing you've forgotten all the MSU support Florio was receiving.

So, like all sports rivalries, then?

And only one of those programs is correct in their assessment and handling of the situation. I'll leave it to you to determine which program that is.

All these people calling for Sixx’s head are ridiculous. If the same happened over here, and it just might at some point, ain’t NOBODY going to call for Bobby’s head. NOT.ONE.SINGLE.PERSON. You people are nuts. And you act like you’ve never driven after a few drinks. Probably less than 5% of the people here deserve to say the shit that is being said on this thread. Just a bunch of hypocrites!

"This all seems crazy. It looks to me like the Bozeman Police Department is out of control here, something needs to be done about it. (PR style posting…)"( by poorgriz.)
No more or less than the Athens, GA or Tuscaloosa, AL Police Departments...

"Lack of institutional control." (by uofmman1122)
BINGO! Well, being a Ag School, this fits:
'There was a farmer, had a dog
And Bingo was his name-o!
B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O
And Bingo was his name-o!'

I have a feeling that the NCAA will be getting a call, a letter, or eMail about this 'lack of institutional control.'

I don't disagree. It will be very interesting to see how MSU responds.

Engstrom death nailed our program for less.....

People are already calling for Bobby’s. Wake up.

The bubcatz culture of entitlement to this dangerous and highly illegal activity is what perpetuates the mindset.

Vicious spin-cycle your staff refuses to break out of.

If I were in MSc admin, I would want heads to roll below me, before they come for my head.

 

[MTOutsider]

Jesus Christ! Their staff appears to have a drinking problem!

Probably still celebrating having destroyed the Griz in 2022.

You're probably right. Six months later, and still thinking about the Griz. The faces on staff may change, but the obsession will live forever.

This is blatantly false. I know ONE.SINGLE.PERSON that already wants him gone because they didn't live up to expectations last season.

Dumb. I don't protect anyone, let alone the cats. Gross

You are seriously lacking in logic and character in this post.

First I can absolutely guarantee that if the situation were happening on Bobby's staff and he wasn't dealing with it, there would be at least one person screaming about it on here because that person would be me.

Second saying that "everyone has done it" is a ridiculous argument because not everyone has driven drunk. I can 100% honestly say I absolutely never have. So I'm at least one person who proves your statement wrong.

Third even those people who have made similar mistakes in the past are entitled to change their behavior and their opinions about such things. Most of us change our views on things as we age and realize the serious consequences of certain actions. Maybe your character is lacking in this area but the rest of us are not.

I think you need to do a little bit of soul searching. This is not a minor infraction. This is willingly and knowingly getting behind the wheel in an impaired state of being and putting innocent lives at risk. People die every day because stupid idiots make these kinds of poor decisions. Have you ever had to watch someone you care about grieving because their loved one is dead at the hands of a drunk driver? Obviously not. I certainly wouldn't wish that on you but I will pray for your soul because apparently you need it.

Sorry not sorry one of the dumbest posts I’ve ever read on Egriz and that is saying something. Crashed a university car, tried to cover it up, drove off drunk in another car still hammered, and you wanna act like that’s all fine and good. Fuck that.
