Drinking and posting, yes. Driving, no. Sounds like you might be as well! LOL!

Go blow your partner liver. Don't be such a Nancy
Or does Barney have ties to Old Misses? Bet someone would pay a pretty penny to have some negative attention turned on MSU for a bit and there's almost no better target than Dak besides Mullen. Anyone else remember the SPD cop that planted a shit ton of drugs on the frat boy that had rejected him a couple years earlier? It is very possible we haven't heard the whole story here yet.
I'm not in a vehicle driving down the road that other people are traveling on in my bedroom. If I'm not doing it right it ain't going to affect anyone outside that bedroom. It has been tested repeatedly in court. You do NOT have a constitutional right to get behind the wheel while drunk. If you want to get hammered by all means have at it. Just don't drive while you are there.
Christ, guys...calm the 17 down.
Many of us know someone hurt by a drunk driver, so I know why many have strong opinions. Somewhat fortunately for me, no one close to me was a victim, except for some of my friends that were injured while drunk during my college days. My room-mate wrecked while drunk on dead man's curve near Skuna bottom between Gore Springs and Coffeeville. He didn't hurt anybody else but he went through his wind shield. His face was one big scab.
BUT, many of the statistics you see put out by MADD are rigged. If you're sober and you wreck and kill a drunk guy, that goes in the books as a drunk driving fatality. A couple of years ago a good friend of mine in Dallas was T-boned at an intersection. Not his fault. He was given a DUI because some bitch was probably texting her girl friend.
Bull****ing shit our laws are too soft now. They USED to be too soft when your generation was in college and entering young adulthood but just like everything else y'all couldn't ****ing control yourselves and now it's my generation and the one below us that gets to suffer the consequences of growing up in a society with much stricter laws and enforcement. In 1980 a college student was about a million times less likely to get a DUI than they are today. I'm not condoning drinking and driving I just don't really appreciate someone from your generation thumbing their nose at everyone else about it.
True, back in the good 'ol days a cop would call somebody to come pick you up, which was embarrassing enough. That is, if you weren't visibly intoxicated and could stand up straight. But now cops receive bonuses into their pensions for DUI arrests. Plus, it's a way for cities to get more tax revenue. But then there will always be people that get drunk, drive and kill people.
Dak screwed up. It's his fault. His NFL career will be based on whether or not he can help a team win games. The main thing that was affected is his legacy at MSU. A lot of people looked at Dak as if he was different from most players/students. I still feel like the good he did for so many, especially kids, should outweigh his mistakes but he definitely damaged his legacy.
Yikes...
What 'point' were they supposed to make? This wasn't an innocent mistake. You don't give anyone a pass if they are driving drunk. Actually, it would be more endangering to Dak's future if he thinks he's above the law and can get away with driving drunk. Dak is leaving Starkville in 2 months for the NFL, and I hope he understands that no matter where he is, he needs to be smart and surround himself with people that will look out for him.
Dak an incredible leader, and I bet if the roles were reversed, he'd arrest the star athlete instead of giving him a free pass.
I'm thinking now we should outlaw carrying a gun in a vehicle because someone got killed in a drive-by shooting.
It don't take much alcohol to blow .08. Not sure what he blew ... just saying.
