Not very bright! I don't understand why some of these young men choose to throw away the opportunities others would love to have.

I read a good article yesterday on facebook. I believe it was 247 sports, about Romance Taylor. If any of you can find the article, its a great read. Someone needs to get this kid in front of Romance.

What a DA

[Aesculus gilmus]

Someone needs to tell Trevone that since he didn't actually win the Heisman Trophy, he doesn't need to act like Johnny Manziel.

If they make the assault of a public servant---a third-degree felony charge--- stick---Boykin may be in a lot of trouble.

Man, did I dodge a bullet. I will be in Corpus Christi this weekend and thought long and hard about
over paying for tickets to see TCU and this kid play.


For those that may still not of heard...

TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin was arrested and charged with a felony in San Antonio early Thursday morning after fighting at a bar and then allegedly striking a bicycle patrol officer.

Boykin was formally charged with assaulting a public servant, a third-degree felony, posted a $5,000 bond and was released from custody late Thursday morning.

TCU is playing Oregon in the Alamo Bowl on Saturday. TCU coach Gary Patterson issued a statement saying: "Trevone Boykin and [junior wide receiver] Preston Miller have been suspended for Saturday's game due to a violation of team rules. We are disappointed in their actions and apologize to the TCU Horned Frogs Nation, Valero Alamo Bowl and city of San Antonio."

At a Thursday morning news conference, San Antonio Police chief William McManus confirmed reports that Boykin, 22, and some teammates were in an establishment named Pat O'Brien's just before 2 a.m. when some patrons recognized the quarterback and began to trash-talk. Boykin became upset and a scuffle ensued. In the melee, Boykin struck a bar employee.

Boykin and the people with him were removed from the bar, but the fight continued. San Antonio bicycle police officers arrived at the scene and tried to stop the fight with the help of bar bouncers. According to an incident report provided by the San Antonio PD, the suspect "was very aggressive and was being held back by the group that he was with. Members of his group stated they would get him back to the hotel they were staying at."

After walking away, the suspect, whom police were told by bystanders was Boykin, charged officers. McManus said that he was swinging and struck an officer in the face. Several officers then took Boykin to the ground. After officers threatened to use a stun gun on Boykin, he was arrested. In addition to the charge of assaulting a police officer, he also faces charges of resisting arrest and public intoxication, according to the police chief.

We don't know if he was swinging at the officer or somebody behind him," McManus said. "In any event, the officer was struck in the face and suffered injuries."

McManus said that the officer suffered a swollen face, bruises and abrasions. The crime scene investigative team photographed the officer's injuries, and he was treated by emergency medical personnel.

"Clearly this was not an appropriate way to act," McManus said of Boykin. "He was heckled and he responded to it."

It was not immediately clear what Miller did to get suspended.

McManus said that the department has ordered cameras to record interactions with the public and will be deployed by the bike officers in the near future.

A source told ESPN's Jake Trotter that Boykin was in his room when his coaches did curfew check at midnight, but then he went back out.

Boykin is a senior who passed for 3,575 yards with 31 touchdowns and 10 interceptions this season. The Dallas native was a second-team All-American last season and a preseason candidate for the Heisman Trophy this year.

Dang..... Reminds me of a horse I had before. A real classy horse that looked like a million bucks. We'd be riding along in a field trial and then his brain would just fall out.

He must've been hangry.

Really dumb. Shockingly dumb.

Not needed!!!

Unbelievable, at 31-0 I looked like a genius for not buying tickets.

With about 2:00 left in the game we began kicking ourselves for not going.
