    That would be a surprise, SB.

    But Teddy's up and down history suggests that he may need to be more careful than his teammates do, just as once upon a time Conner Frankamp needed to be especially careful about his behavior with alcohol even though he was unlikely to be the only Shocker drinking.

      He wasn't the only Shocker drinking. He was taking one other guy with him. If you want to connect the dots, just recall who was missing practice due to migraines and stomach issues.

    Cant wait to see Teddy play.
    And exactly how did Teddy get from near Rock to an apartment near the WSU campus? I'm going to make a wild guess that he didn't walk and the lady in question didn't give him a ride.

    There have been previous issues with players hitting the booze that have had a negative effect on team chemistry, and I'm not talking about Frankamp's DUI. Marshall has probably had it with players drinking too much. I suspect some "tough love" Marshall-style is on the way. I also expect Teddy could be in excellent cardio condition after some early-morning wind sprints and stair running the rest of the summer .Early morning wind sprints will pretty much resolve issues with late-night alcohol consumption.
    The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.

      Did he cut in front of you and take the last hot dog at the theater?

      That walk would not be all that bad.

    when you in the public eye, you got to be careful in picking your friends.

    there are certain friends that i don’t tend to hang out with while drinking.

      Update from a source: it seems the charge will just be for petty theft and the “battering” did not occur. Marshall had a meeting with the team excluding Teddy and everyone still supports him and wants him to stay on the team. Marshall was understandably very upset and likely will sit him the first couple of games as punishment but it does not seem he will be kicked off the team. Teddy feels terrible about it all and was hurt by how it was perceived and reported by the media.

        Hoping this is true!. If so the vote of support from his fellow teammates should inspire Teddy to be all he can be!

        If true, I’m sure Teddy had a serious meeting with 3G and has no strikes remaining. He needs to tighten his circle.

      Those folks are the type I hung out with when I was in college. I have a family now, so not so much anymore.

        When you have a checkered past, it tends to follow you and people around you draw quick conclusions. Gotta wear that though and understand that's the way it is, and then use that as motivation to overcome it. This was a small blip of a warning that just might help prevent a big blip!

        Persevere Teddy!

          If its as minor as SlyShock says it is. Which I tend to believe. Teddy came here for a reason to be closer to boystown. Now what needs to happen is get one of the walk on's to be his buddy/mentor. Make sure his ass stays outta trouble. Teddy has skills and can make it the NBA. He just needs better people around him so he stays out of trouble.

            To summarize. While it has been a long, long time since some of you were in college, the fact is things like this happen frequently in that realm. Students drink too much occasionally, they have arguments with girlfriends, they sometimes act spontaneously without thinking things through. Some of you snowflakes live in a snowglobe. We are dealing here with kids becoming adults trying to learn how to live in the real world. As it turned out this is nothing but a learning experience for the people involved. Hopefully some of you can still learn something as well.

              Not a snowflake and managed to make it all through college without ever choking, hitting, any or breaking any of my girlfriends' ****. Including the one that would regularly get liquored up and want to swing on me. Made a number of other terrible decisions though. Teddy has to understand that 90% of his issue is controlling the situations you let yourself get in to. Can't control what happens sometumes, but you can control the your locations, activities, time, and associates.

              Control the controllables. Good advice at 18, good advice at 88.

            All I know is that when I heard Teddy's story and that he was transferring here, I knew I wanted to root for him on and off the court. I wanted him to learn from his mistakes, grow up, turn things around and be able to point to his time at WSU as the period it all came together for him. I still want to root for that, so I hope the reports of choking aren't legitimate and he still has a chance to turn his life around here.

              Probably not needing to be lectured by you, but thank you just the same....

                Unfortunate story to read about. Hope it all gets cleared up and perhaps a mountain was made out of a mole hill is all it is. Free Teddy to be released by the NCAA was a fun mantra...free Teddy from jail would not be a fun mantra.

                        I have mixed feelings about losing him as a player; no mixed feelings for having him off the team. No excuse for what he did. Forgiveness can come but doesn't have to include time on the team.
