      Are you saying he would or wouldn't? Confused on the point.

        I think he was asking.

          With TOB and all the controversy/story lines that have revolved around him the last few seasons and going into next season, I think TV would write a story about it or at least a blog entry.

          It wouldn't really matter though.

          Everyone in Brookings would know about it as soon as its printed in the Brookings Register when he goes to court. I don't know what that section of the paper is called, but if you get anything more than a speeding ticket its printed in the Brookings Register. People scour that information religiously (I know from experience). Once its printed in the Register, everybody in Brookings would know about it. Once everybody in Brookings knows about it, it would take about a week for everybody in the state to hear about it.

          That's my take.

            Really I don't care what the coaches mentality is college kids are going to drink. There will be the few that don't, but honestly they are going to do what they are going to do once they get to partys. We just make a huge deal about our rivals to the north because they are exactly that, our rivals (and we are a pretty tame bunch on this board IMHO). I mean Stig is one of the most adamant people I've ever met against underage drinking of his athletes, but we still have guys get minors. Remember yourself in college, if you were an athlete would you have abstained from alcohol when you were underage, honestly? I doubt that many people really really could have done that 100% of the time. They still are college kids, and I know they have more responsibilities being college athletes, but they have a ton of responsibilities just with weight lifting, practicing, and doing well in school, they need a place to relax and have a good time with friends sometime, some just get caught.

              Some people simply shouldn't drink. I don't care if it is our athletes, our rival's athletes or USF athletes.

              I know some look down on Stig's hard line stance on alcohol (which I strongly support myself.) Does that make us prudes? In some people's opinions - yes.

              But my mother used to ask me - "Tell me the best thing that you've seen come from consuming alcohol and becoming intoxicated?" She was the daughter of an alcoholic and I carry those genes in my DNA (That after several years during and after college I imbibed alcohol). But I now have 4 young kids and I'll encourage them to abstain, but if they must experiment - do so responsibly. (Sorry - I don't mean to preach.)

                      You missed fixing the ellipsis . . . which should arguably have been a question mark to be completely correct.
