DEA Raids TCU

[subliznime]

People don't understand TCU.  It's not a pushy religious school.  Despite the name "Christian" in its name it's very laid back and nonreligious.  Almost in the way Hendrix being Methodist is, it's mostly a historical connection.

Baylor may not have Baptist in its name, but this happening there would be the hypocritical irony that most of you think it happening at TCU represents.

Indeed, my mother went to tcu in the early 70's and it was loosely associated with christianity back then. Oh and per her confirmation earlier today, peopel were smoking grass back then too.

No. Having students or athletes at your college commit armed robbery is a big deal. College kids smoking herb and doing blow is not.

Hey man, that's just the way it is, sometimes.

Twenty-year-old Corey Zickefoose was the victim of an alleged crime Thursday when three Tennessee football players were arrested on charges of armed robbery. Nu'Keese Richardson, Janzen Jackson and Michael Edwards allegedly held up Zickefoose with an air gun in what was later described as a "prank."

Intentions aside (as they do pave the road to Starkville), one would think Zickefoose would be in full-on lawyer mode, lining up a civil suit and pressing criminal charges. Or at least really angry. But no -- unbelievably, he's asking the university for leniency instead.

    "I think they should still be able to play football, regardless," he said. "Tennessee is my place. It's my football team."

    "Even after they put a gun in your face, you say let them play football?" 6 News asked.

    "Yeah, it's Tennessee. That's the way it is sometimes," Zickefoose said.

 I do not find it funny because of the word "Christian" in their name. I know well of their paying players back in the SWC days while living in Fort Worth.

 I just think it is funny because ESPiN and apparently SI drools all over them because of their rankings and not playing in BCS championships along with Boise. They regard them as better or equal to other universities in other conferences, but not allowed to prove it.

 I just think it is funny that they are just like everyone else, and now going to have to put up or shut up in the Texass league.

This breaks my heart. I've known Ty Horn since he and my son were in kindergarten. His parents are great folks; he's been a really good kid.

I hope he was not deeply involved in all of this. Guess time will tell

He will survive it was just drugs he didnt kill or rape anyone. Smoking some Grass or snorting some blow or rolling on ecstasy doesnt make one a bad person.

The draftniks on Mallett's jock would like a word or two.

I am just saying doing drugs in college doesnt define a person like killing or raping someone in college does.

Even though you have said this about 22 times from what I've read none of these kids were arrested for smoking some grass or snorting some blow, they were arrested for selling and distributing it.  Big difference.

PC Affidavit & Arrest Warrant for Brock.  Horn is implicated and could face several counts of delivery.

Not that big of a difference. Still not a big deal to me. To the law its definitely different. The war on drugs is dumb.
Id rather my kid get caught selling drugs than attempting to rob someone with an air pistol.

Personally I'd rather my kid get caught for neither.

I'd beat the aMm out of him if he was caught doing either.

Exactly. How you going to make a living if your son lost all your product in a DEA sting? DAMN.

It's nice to know that 17 young people will now forever be known as felons thanks to this work. 

...meanwhile 17 NEW felons pop up to replace the outgoing ones. Such a fricking waste of my money (war on drugs).

Let me rephrase. If i had a kid, and i don't, and that hypothetical kid i had made a mistake(which we all know is crazy because no kid I will ever have will make mistakes) id prefer it to be drugs are ok mistake not the homicidal robbery mistake.

In related non-news (but maybe it should be), have the Hogs had any arrests since Oden back in Aug-Sept? I don't remember any. Funny, how we don't see any articles commending the players for their good behavior because we know damn well if 1 of them messes up they will all be condemned for it in the media as running amok.

Don't all of you see the underlying problem here? Pay the athletes!!!

Watch this angle unfold as this progresses.

Right.  It's TCU, not Baylor

Cue the FPD. There will now be extra officers out patroling the streets looking for those "thug football players" since it's been awhile.

They were likely just trying to swing a free stash for themselves.

Jesus, and it's just for an ounce or so?  What a bunch of Texas horseshit.  Let 'em go.

Fascist!
