That's the million dollar question....but he does live in El Paso, I'm just glad it wasn't something worse.

At least he didn't expose himself, break down a door, or beat up his girlfriend

Stealing a crappy mp3 player would be No. 4 on my list of egregious offenses, right befor killing someone who needed to be killed.

You killed Brandi?

PermianBasianAg... I was told from a high source that the reason he "transfered" from Montwood HS to Chapin HS was that he runs track and wanted to win a state championship thought it would be easier at 4A Chapin than at 5A Montwood.

Good lord...that kind of cheapens it. Real winner you got there, tech.

We have one guy that has made a mistake.

Just since Franchione has arrived, you've had 15, including one that likes to expose himself to random women.

I think your house has shattered by now, PBAg.

Checked on it...and the main reason for his "transfer" was his family moved closer to Chapin into a nicer house up on the mountain. Anyone can speculate and make up theories on why someone transferred to another school, but the simplest explanation is often the correct one.

Also, his father made him (earlier this day) appear on both local radio and television and issue a public apology.

Prison would be better than being a Raider.

Yeah, I'm sure your team's mistakes are limited to one guy.

Anyway, shiner, I never said anything about the kid's arrest. Drop the glass houses BS. I found it odd that a kid would change schools during the middle of his senior year, and a lot of times, that would indicate some sort of problem. As for why he transferred, I have two people giving totally different explanations, each saying they have "sources". If it comes down to an Ag and a Raider, I'll believe the Ag. So my comment is that if he'll change schools just so he'll have a better chance at an individual championship, that shows a lack of character. When he's sitting 5th string his sophomore year at tech, he'll be on the first bus to Sul Ross where he can be a starter.

shiner, you have to admit, you guys are being awfully touchy considering the amount of crap you can dish out.

______________________________________________________
no longer actually tacking on an extra year. i had to get a real job.

Sad to hear....I hate when any kid, Raider, Ag, Horn, do something stupid like this to mess up their future. I hope the kid gets a chance to make up for his mistake.....

Didn't you tards learn anything from years of screaming 'scoreboard' on Rivalries, only to have it screamed back at you last season?

If you can dish it out, you damned well better be able to take it.

As long as my pizzas continue to arrive promptly, I frankly don't give a rat's ass what any tard does.

There it is.

Hey! I didn't order the Bubonic Lovers Special!

So he went on the TV and Radio...

Ex-Rams star tries to make amends for recent arrest

Edward Britton wants people to know he regrets being arrested April 20, and he let El Paso know Tuesday.

The former Montwood High School star running back, who was charged with shoplifting a pair of MP3 players from a Northeast Wal-Mart, apologized on Channel 7-KVIA, and he and his father also taped an interview with KROD-AM (600) that will be aired between 6 and 9 a.m. today.

"I hope El Paso understands that I'm sorry for what I did, and I hope I can move on and be ready for what's to come," said the 17-year-old Texas Tech football signee. "I didn't want to embarrass Chapin, Montwood, my family or Texas Tech. This was a lesson in life, and I'm going to take it in stride."

The two-time all-state tailback, who now is a senior at Chapin, owed the city the apology, said his father, Edward Britton Sr.

"People say he was given the accolades and write-ups when he was doing good things, so when he does something inappropriate, the same should be afforded. We have no problem with that, and since he's a son of the city, we felt he should apologize to his teammates and to the rest of the city."

The Brittons don't think the arrest will affect his scholarship.

"(Red Raiders head coach Mike Leach) called me, and he didn't mention anything about my scholarship being in jeopardy. He just said he looks forward to me getting in the gym at Texas Tech."

Funny thing about this story. He lives in the 2900 block of Titanic. No offense, but that seems like a step down from the east side home they had. Something is irregular there.

Glad to see his dad didn't try to make excuses for his behavior.

Chapin High School is the newest high school in the EPISD. We are also the home of a four-year pre-engineering program. As a staff and faculty, we are dedicated to success in our community and in our school.

Chapin High School is named in honor of Captain John L. Chapin, who was born and raised in El Paso. Prior to enlisting in the National Guard, Capt. Chapin graduated from Texas A&M University, with a degree in Chemical Engineering.

It was as close as he could get to getting into TAMU.

Really stupid move, but I do like the kid's and father's reaction. No attempt to blame the cops, or say he was singled out. Just took responsibility and hopefully won't make the same mistake again.
