Dak got a DUI!!

[TheRef]

Nice job by SPD. Give him a pass and drive him home for all the good he has done. Freakin Barney Fifes on SPD. Dak did indeed screw up but the SPD should have covered this crap up once for all the good he has done for our school. Pisses me off!!

Nope...can't fault cops on this one...take that argument elsewhere.

[civildawg]

Wow I honestly can't believe you typed that out. If you drive drunk and get caught, I don't care if your mother Teresa, you should be charged

[Dawgface]

One bad move erased all the good leadership qualities he supposedly had. Costly night out.

It only erased them for idiots.

Driving drunk is terrible but it's only a problem if you have a drinking problem. Manziel's problem was a drinking problem not a matter if he got a DUI or not.

[DancingRabbit]

Can we let the whole story come out before we convict him of a DUI?

If the Starkville PD released this to the CL he's already convicted in the media perception arena.

SPD cost Smoot some big money in March 2001 before the draft. Smoot attends a house party, cops come in, roach found in a garbage can and Fred's the one arrested. SPD dropped the charges 3 weeks later but the 1st rounder became a 2nd rounder. Back then the SPD chief was an OM guy.

But Dak's gotta be smarter than that.

Yup. This shat is crazy. Just like our guys getting arrested by the sheriff dept for having beer in a dry ****ing county.

Did the CL say this was actually good news for Dak?***

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Hate it for Dak and he should have been smarter. I can remember numerous times I should have been smarter too, but wasn't. I was never caught when drinking while driving, but I never had as much on the line as Dak either. I was lucky. I never condemn a kid for this because I know how many times it could have been me. I just hope they learn from it and hopefully the next guys coming up (Ross, etc.) learns from it.

Ha, winner.

[Bmydawg]

Yeah. None of us have ever driven a tad over the limit. I was just saying, that all the revenue he has generated for Starkville should have told Barney to say. Hey pal, gonna give you one free pass and I will get you home. If we see you out again tonite or ever again driving drunk, you are toast. Quite frankly, I can't believe that MSU doesn't have a policy in place withSPD to cover this crap up internally and be handled by the coaching staff.Dak screwed up, but his character leading up to this unfortunate incident should have been considered. Nice job Barney. Go shine your f ing bullet

same here, dude. It's a total miracle I never crashed and hurt some one else, let alone gotten a dui, back in the day. Never again though. Dak should have had a driver.

[Coach34]

The SPD is in no way to blame. They just did their job. Dakota has to be smarter and not give Turtle any nights off now that he is NFL-bound. Its a mistake he will hopefully learn from

Not daks first alcohol related incident either

Nope DUI is a serious crime. Driving while drunk doesn't only affect you, it has the potential to kill others. I wouldn't draft him now if I was a GM.

What if he had killed someone?

assuming he actually was drunk. last time i drove back to the Cotton District at 1am on a weekend, i got pulled over for touching the line on my right as i made a hard right turn off old 182. then was told i blew a .07 when all i'd had was 2 Coors Lights. time before that i was pulled over for no seat belt. still got the ticket after i blew solid. that area is worse than Gordo or Reform at that time of night on a weekend.

Yep, and I'm not a teetotaler.

Unless Dak blew an absurd amount I agree with Bmydawg. Dak brought Starkville an extra couple mill last year alone. SPD hit the jackpot for DUI arrests while MSU's football team was #1 in the country. Gotta think they've hit way over their quota of DUIs the last two years. They should of let this one get an escort home.

[Tbonewannabe]

In the late 90s & early 00s Starkville cops hated MSU students.

Smh.. Cotton district driving a 2016 escalade... 17ed his draft status...

There but by the grace of God go I
