Dak got a DUI!!

[dawgday166]

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.

Sorry bout that dude, I sympathize with you on this one. Old codgers tend to forget all the stupid shit they did that probably should've gotten them either thrown under the jail or killed. I am one, but I haven't forgotten. My life is littered with mistakes. I'm just glad to be on a board now where there are a significant number of perfect old codgers that never made mistakes.

It absolutely sucks being a State fan.

That's my thoughts on this. Sucks.

Lol thanks your post is gold

This is so stupid on so many levels.

First, Dak just instructed any team looking at him he's more likely to be Johnny M. than Russell W.
May not be true, but it now can be inferred from his actions.
It likely cost him $100ks if not $1Ms.

Second, He's the face of the university at the moment.
He could've called dozens of people to drive him home, including university president.

Third, while I agree with Barkley that athletes shouldn't be roll models, for some kids they are.
Of all those 8 to 12 year olds running around in 15 jerseys, some of them are now more likely to engage in this idiotic behavior.

For all you idiots saying the SPD should've given him a pass, have you ever had a loved one affected by a dui?
It's a crime for a reason.

[Schultzy]

The .08 threshold is way too low... We have criminalized going out to eat and having a glass of wine these days. It's only the people driving at 1.3 or more that should get popped.

[msudawg1200]

All you bleeding hearts. On here. He didn't hit or kill anyone. Once stopped the SPD could have said, hey pal. We are going to get you home this one time. If this happens again you are toast!! Instead, I am sure they treated him as if he had killed someone. Common sense and handling things in a rational way have left our society. I am confident now that some of you would actually vote for Hilary or Bernie?? If you are in that contingent then you need way more help than Dak

I think you 'd see thing a little different if you have had a family member killed by a drunk driver. If he did it he should have been arrested and punished.

Jeez, you guys haven't learned how to spin a story at all. You would think that by watching OM and the CL spin stories so much that y'all would learn something. Let me show you how it's done:

"Dak getting a DUI is a good thing. Just last week the Cleveland Browns scouts were all over him. Of course Dak smiles and says all the right things to them but everyone knows that if there is one team he does NOT want to be drafted by it is the Browns.

So afterwards Dak talks to his agents who talks to a few teams that assure him that they are interested and there is nothing that would change that. So Dak does the one thing that would disqualify the Cleveland Browns from drafting Dak: getting a DUI. I'm sure the SPD were probably in on it too. After the Manziel fiasco the Browns cannot draft another SEC QB that seemingly likes to drink. Problem averted."

This is exactly how OM and the CL would spin this story if it were Eli or Chad Kelly. Get with the program guys.

Two drink max and you'll be fine. Want more than two drinks don't drive. Call Uber, a taxi or a friend BEFORE you go out. That's where people make the mistake. They don't spend money when they are sober to get them to the bar without their vehicle. Then they drink too much and lose their discipline to not just drive their own vehicle home. If your car isn't with you you can't possibly drive it home. Yea it sucks paying $40 on Uber to and from but it's way better than getting a DUI. Also don't be on the road after midnight. You're a fish swimming in a pool full of sharks at that time of night. All the cops out are looking to bust everyone for DUIs. If you've had more than two and you're driving after midnight you're just asking to get a DUI. Gotta be smart before even leaving the house.

[I seen it dawg]

Great thread.

[I seen it dawg]

Dak is trying to handle all of this by himself. He's lost his mom and he's the only adult he has. Why hasn't Mullen found him a mentor of some kind to look out for him , a former player or something. Shit help the guy navigate all he's had. To do solo.

Totally agree.

We sell alcohol at damn near every restaurant in the US. We sell it in quick stores. Well sell it in grocery stores. We have alcohol meeting places called bars for people to meet up and drink. Drinking and driving is never going away. We support it too much

[JohnnyQuid]

dak has to be smarter but ******* how terrible is spd. some moron who never done shit thinks he's some big dick - GOT DAK BAWS. OH YEAAAA.

die scrub

[mic]

Alright, first off, who were the dickheads that let Dak Prescott drive off from a ****ing bar, especially in the Cotton District. They should have their asses kicked. Secondly, why would any STARKVILLE cop give Dak a mother****ing dui? Two things, he was driving erratic and was visibly drunk driving--which meant the cocksuckers..or somebody at the bar knew he was drinking...and let him drive off anyway. Or, the arresting officer obviously doesn't give a **** about the university that resides in the town that he serves. This is bullshit. I'll bet he was within a mile from his destination. Have someone pick him up!

If this was a roadblock or check point ... And Dak wasn't ripped drunk or being a dick to the officer , SPD has got to let this go.. Let him call someone to come get them, something..

If he was all over the road or whatever whole different animal.. For sure arrest him get him off road..
But If this is a case of an officer pounding his chest over this , then that's BS..

And yeah where are Daks boys?.? **** no reason this guy should be driving drunk or sober..

The result of this is...
Dak gets off , and the lawyers get paid..
Hurts his cred and draft status
Ex players and NFL guys see shit like this and don't like coming back here.. ( AD and the cowbell fiasco).. Not saying this keeps players from coming back here but it damn sure don't help..

In the end it's on Dak.. Period..
Might better check ur boys or women you roll with... They can't let this happen...

Well, he has his brothers but I get your point.

Because we are a mom and pop organization in a competitive market with fortune 500 companies.

It has become about generating revenue, as opposed to saving lives. Lawyers & PDs are making some dough on this.

[defiantdog]

I can't wait to see this board when the NTSB drops the legal BAC to .05

[Percho]

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

I agree. Ref. What they did is better for us and also better for Dak in the long run.

[War Machine Dawg]

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!!

Gotta agree here. After everything Dak has done for the State and community, they expect me to believe they couldn't have handled the situation quietly and avoided giving him a DUI? I call bullshit. We've heard for years the SPD has an antagonistic relationship with our football players - this is just more evidence of it. And I put this partly on Mullen for not making an effort to cultivate a good relationship with SPD.

Also, the DUI laws in MS are crazy. Literally, 2-3 beers puts you over the limit now. They have lowered it that much. Had a big time Bulldog Club guy tell me last night "I went to Como Steakhouse tonight and had 3 beers. If the cops had stopped me on the way home, they'd have given me a DUI. That's how low the BA level is now."

That said, I'm guessing the Clarion Liar is making this a much bigger deal than it really is. The hell with all the flooding or other actual news in the state. Nope, a MSU football player and potential 2nd-3rd round Draft pick got a DUI. Splatter that shit all over the front page, baby!

[Bubb Rubb]

Doubt it. Not this late in the process. Teams are desperate for QBs and Dak is the 3rd or 4th one on the board. He'll still go 2nd round.

Retarded response as usual when there's any criticism of your boy.
