At least one, though charges were dropped.Meximan said:
And speaking of arrests, has A&M even had any this season? I can't honestly remember there being any.
Jimbo couldn't suspend a player for a crime he was never charged with. That would look insane. Blame Tallahassee PD and I fully do. They failed miserably. You can be 100% sure if they had charged Jameis like they should have he'd have been off the football team.PascalsWager said:
I dont agree with anything the professor says in the letter.
However A LOT of folks on texags believed Jameis was Rapeis ( mostly because it was convenient for Johnny at the time). In any case, if you believe that I have no idea how Jimbo is completely, 100% blame free for that situation.
I've known the family for 25 years. He is NOT a "great Aggie and a better person." Heck, his DAUGHTER is the most level-headed person in that family, which is really sad. Wouldn't wish that family on anyone.Twelfthman99 said:
I've shared several beers with Arnie through the years. Those of you who don't know him need to stop. He's a great Aggie and a better person. Disagree with him if you want, but why question the character of a fellow Aggie for having an opinion different from your own? Quit being so sensitive to criticism and consider it to be a check on questionable behavior. If it never manifests into anything other than a facemask grab, good on everyone. Otherwise, it will be a warning shot if there are future escalations.
BTW, he is a sport psychologist who often teaches with the Sport Management team. There are a lot of Aggies wearing their rings today because of his service to the university.
He seems to be questioning the character of someone he's never met, too.Quote:

Then why don't you tell Arnold that no one cares what he thinks? I bet he didn't get his depends in a wad when President Young didn't support free speech for all, did he? I'm sure Arnold is just another liberal academic that thinks he knows better than everyone else.Twelfthman99 said:

Funny, people will only pick out the negatives when in fact Dodson has reiterated that he understands what Coach Fisher did. Professors such as this one don't understand the concept of tough love anymore, but how quickly the media and this professor will recognize the following:Txmoe said:
We are five games into Fisher's troubled (and troubling) tenure in which he has been captured on television pushing and shoving assistant coaches and/or other team personnel and inexcusably grabbing a player by the facemask. These missteps have gone viral to tens of thousands of television viewers. It is my fondest hope that these outbursts have not gone unnoticed by the athletic director and the university administration. I am going to assume, perhaps naively, that the powers that be already have acted so that we might not have to endure 10 more years of this boorish, mind-boggling misbehavior.

How very 'zoo' of you. I'm (mildly) curious how you think my real motivation differs from the one clearly expressed in the OP.Meximan said:
OP worries about Fisher getting blasted for a bad op-ed piece; Professor gets blasted for being a ninny instead.
Meanwhile, not one damn person in the world is commenting outside of Texags.
Neither the OP nor the op-ed went aseacheither writer expected. (The "writer" fixed it for you!)
Perhaps you could spend some of that time teaching him what the word "assault" means. I saw the much ballyhoo'd video of Fisher grabbing Dodson's facemask, and it was nothing. All he did was to turn his head so they were face to face. It was a fraction of a second. Anyone who calls that "assault" needs to have HIS head examined. It wasn't REMOTELY "questionable behavior". Even Dodson said so. Isn't HE the best arbiter of what is or isn't assault in that case?Twelfthman99 said:
