Announcers rightly critical, I think, of the absurd number of calls the officials examine at the end of games. Of Alabama, too. Whee! Sometimes hearing plain-speaking and common sense like that seems so rare that it feels exhilirating.

This stupid game will not end!
Itās finally over after 2 hours and 35 minutes.

Feel like Iāve said this before but need to continue beating the drumā¦college basketball games donāt fit into 2 hour windows anymore. TV needs to adjust their times because of this.

The fact that Marcus Carr is still playing college basketball is wild. The whole Texas team is just stupid old

Hunter destroying Tennessee last year and then pumping them up on his pod to win the natty while they flounder in real life will never not be funny

Didnāt even realize Tyrese Hunter is actually not having a particularly good year.
How the D.A. said āthereās nothing we could charge him withā is completely insane.

At first i thought this was an article from The Onion.
This part makes me feel like Iām in a hallucinatory dream. Does anyone here remember Lewisā association with this incident?
āJust thought he [Ray Lewis] has been through a tragic situation,ā Oats said. āOne of the more mentally tough athletes in my time.ā
The advise Lewis offered to Oats was to share scripture from the Bible with the players and pray with them.

Yeah, that was some seriously awful stuff to say. Weāll see if he gets away with it.
It seems like Lewis is best situated to advise on how to be an associate of murder and get away with it
Which obviously applies here
But may not want to publicize it!

Thatās another astonishing thing. Oats appears to be pretty cynical and also pretty dumb. Or at the very least extraordinarily tone deaf.
So Alabama is just going to keep playing Miller the rest of the season? No punishment?
Imagine them winning it all and Miller featuring in āOne Shining Momentā . . . oof.
The Internet, as a group, would certainly have some fun with that.
Yeah, Iām far from a lawyer and donāt know the laws in that areaā¦but it seems like there are a few that they might at least charge him with even if they get tossed out or pleaded down later. For example, if he was in possession of a gun for a period of time but he wasnāt licensed for it - thatās something. Another one would be if they could demonstrate that he blocked other cars to help facilitate what happened as an accessory. Just shocking that nothing came of it at all. Even from a university ethics point of view - someone asked you to bring a gun to a situation that you knew was going to be heatedā¦

Of course. Probably need a license to drive a golf cart on the road in beach towns, but why would you need a license for this?

I am also not a lawyer but I assume their goal is to make sure they convict the two guys they want to charge with murder. Not charge as many people with as many things that would get pleaded down or tossed out.
Probably a lot easier to get cooperation with guys on the periphery if you donāt over-charge them I imagine.
But maybe I just watch too much TV.

Might work both ways. We have prosecutors in N. Florida who are infamous for the opposite. They charge juveniles as adults, throw the greatest number of charges with the longest sentences at people, in order to boost their conviction rates and reputations as tough on crime. The local public defender has complained about this bitterly to some of us, says that when the younger people go in they are still quite innocent, but on the other end they are either broken or very troubled. Common sense would counsel the approach you describe.
