I would be really surprised if Marshall gives up on him this quickly. BUT Conner better hold his backside with both hands if he screws up again because I do believe he will then be booted out the door. My message to Conner --- wake up kid, get your act together, you have a really good chance here to prove yourself, don't mess it up.

I think most WSU supporters and fans are reasonable people and will be behind Conner if he shows remorse (at the drinking and driving; not at getting caught doing it) and also shows he is worth the risk of giving him another chance. I also think a lot is going to depend on how the current team members view this and treat Conner. Marshall "raises" good young men and I think these guys would want to be in Conner's corner right now.

I can just hear Fred -----

He'll plead and enter a diversionary program for a year. He'll keep his nose clean for that period. He'll be suspended for the first two games when he becomes eligible for the Shox but GM will make it clear that if he F's up again, (even arrives late to practice, he gone).

I would give him a 5 game suspension when he becomes eligible but I would bet it will be 2 or 3 games as you suggest.

This was stupid. His brain isn't finishef growing yet so dumb decisions are still a part of his life. Just because other basketball players doing dumb things hasn't become news worthy, don't be naive enough to think that our coaches haven't been making important adjustments in others lives.
This is serious enough that appropriate consequences are necessary. We will probably hear some, but not all from Gregg. It will be handled.

[pinstripers]

Ok look. Many on here will be quick to throw Conner out the door if he sneezes wrong. So this isn't surprising so many are ready to do this. My gut says if it were Fred or Ron those same people would be upset but not ready to dismiss them from the team. Not surprising, but unfortunate.

This is definately serious and he will get punished in some way both legally and probably by Marshall (perhaps privately more than we know). He certainly doesn't need me passing judgment or punishing him as well.

Let this be a tough lesson learned and thank God no one was hurt.

Fred or Ron? You are being ridiculous. This kid has been here only 3 wks and already fugged up.

[SHOCKvalue]

Have you ever spead while driving? Or driven while talking/texting on your phone? Because that puts people's lives in jeopardy.

Not excusing what he did, but we are all guilty of sin in this house. If I'm wrong, please let me know because I'll be prepared for the second coming.

^Also ranking high on the scale of dumbness. Solid effort here guys.

One can only assume those attempting to minimalize the implications of drunk driving, or draw asinine analogies, have tested those waters in their own lives, now finding a defensible commonality with CF's current plight.

So? That isn't relevant. So it wouldn't be as serious if Fred or Ron did it? Lol Now THAT is ridiculous.

See everyone. Many on here are quick with the boot with Conner. Perfect example right here.

[SHOCKvalue]

Sinner...

Oh most certainly; however, I can't think of the last time my sin put someone else's life on the line.

Moving on...

I am stunned JJ Clamdip found his way to this thread.

ALL sins are the same in God's eyes. From lying to murder...etc.

But yes, let's all move on....

You seem like a real winner buddy. I am glad your life is going so well and you have it all figured out. Congratulations.

You opened up the doors to play "Devil's advocate" with your own comments. If you can't accept it, don't being 'em to the table.

I have had a few people I know, get in trouble for D&D. Did I chastise them and say GTFO of my life? No, I was there to support them. They knew they made a mistake. They didn't need me to give them that constant reminder.

[pinstripers]

Huge difference between a mistake by someone with years of service and someone who is still in his probationary period.

Is this the Lord posting on SN? No one is defending what he did... not one person. He made a HUGE mistake, he is lucky he didn't get hurt, or hurt someone else. But you come off as an ass when you pretend that no one makes mistakes.

One of my friends got a DUI two years ago. He is one of the best people I know, he made a dumb choice. He has lived a great life helping others ever since then.

I texted during my drive to the game yesterday.

We all do dumb things, and I do sympathize with people who make mistakes, if I feel they deserve sympathy. I think most people fall in this catagory. When you make a mistake, I hope someone gives you a second chance and you can see mercy at its finest.
