Also someone on the gowyogo board said that they arrested him at the Laramie airport? Any truth to that?
Wishful thinking? I disagree. It is for only during the season. That means between November to March no bars. They don't need to be going out during that time anyways because they are concentrating on basketball. Other programs have these rules. I know Laramie isn't the greatest place with lots of things to do but it comes down to do you want to play basketball or not? It isn't a sheltered life because you don't get to go to the bar either.BeaverPoke wrote:That is wishful thinking but that is never going to happen.seattlecowboy wrote:Also.... why in the hell is Shyatt even letting any members of the team go to the bar during the season?

I would think Shyatt might have something in place after this situation because only bad can come from players hanging out in those types of places.
Of course maybe he had something in place already but it seems if he would have then Luke would have been suspended before.
You would never get players to stay 3 or 4 years here if they can not go out to the bar. They are 21 year olds and college kids. Just because they play college hoops wearing a UW jersey doesn't mean that they have to live a sheltered life.
I'm sure they want to be winning just as bad as we want them to

Sorry. Hopefully Gags (etal) can pick it up and report it.Poke in Billings wrote:Really? You're going to put that out there, and leave everyone hanging?McPeachy wrote:Getting into a bar fight is one thing. What he did was another. Hence the charges.
You are probably right. Probably a closet-drinking BYU guy.laxwyo wrote:I'm guessing that this is one of them deals where no charges would have been filed if Luke wasn't on the basketball team.
I know some of your comment is TIC, but the reality is that felony charges aren't typically filed unless there is some substantial evidence and justification. Because felony charges were filed, I think this has nothing to do with athlete v. non-athlete and charges would have been filed regardless.djm19 wrote:You are probably right.

Bingo.
