Gabe Terry arrested...

[robertpaige]

A felony is a BIG mistake, regardless what I or anyone else thinks of what he did. Everyone makes mistakes, but we don't all get charged with felonies for making them.

So you are calling it a "big" mistake because a lawmaker in Tallahasee decided 28 grams of pot equals a felony versus a misdemeanor? Are you assuming he knew this was the distinction? I had no idea about that law, nor do I think many of us know every "felony" on the books, and I am sure there many pretty absurd ones out there. This situation isn't black and white....

This situation with Terry has nothing to do with anyone's opinion on the legality or illegality of pot and everything to do with a guy who passed out in public and then got in a "fighting stance" when approached by law enforcement. Do you guys see where THAT is the real issue?

Add to that the fact that this guy has been in trouble the whole time he's been here and had a sketchy background prior to coming here, and you can be sure he's history. Sometimes, you take a gamble on a kid like this, and it pays off. He realizes he's been given a great opportunity and manages to keep his knucklehead urges in check. Most of the time, though, a clown like this will wind up breaking your heart, which is exactly what Terry has done.

Gabe Terry? History, my friends. A memory.

Not so fast. Golden has been raving about this kid since he signed. Most of us have been raving about him since last year.
Yeah he fuucked up big time but now it's up to him if he is going to earn his spot back on the team.
He can be an immature punk about it and tell Golden "up yours white boy, I'll smoke weed whenever I feel like it," and be gone, or
he can fall on his sword, beg forgiveness and prove himself by being clean, working his *** off on the field and in the classroom.
Golden seems to be a players' coach and seems to understand that these players don't all come from the most affluent backgrounds.

On the flip side Golden also seems to love the U and expects these players to represent the University like they were representing God.

I'm hoping Golden gives Terry a final chance to shape up with the caveat that one more ***** up and it's highway time.

This. EJ got a chance to come back all the way up to the day he said basically that to Golden and went the CC route. This story is far from over, and I think it's all up to Terry as to whether he comes back or not. That seems like Golden's MO, don't know why it would change now.

I haven't seen Golden raving about him. Terry's had several incidents since he's been at UM. This wasn't an isolated "mistake". He's gone, friend. Let's grieve.

It would change because this isn't his first bout with trouble at UM. He's already been given a few chances to get right. As EJ found out, guys can hang themselves with the rope they're given.

This. Since those "other times" weren't published or put into the public eye, some might think this is an isolated incident. That boy Terry is gone. Sucks for the kid, but it's BEST for the team in the long run. Influences like him and EJ are no good when it comes to off the yield activities. When some of your own teammates don't want to chill with you because they are afraid you might snap........

The report states police found a Ziploc bag containing marijuana hanging outside the left side pocket of Terry's shorts.

I've got a temper that goes along with my Irish stereotype of drinking and fighting. But I had to learn a long time ago, if ya wanna accomplish anything in life you've got to be able control your emotions when provoked AND do your best to avoid situations that trigger provocation. And with the structure and leadership of coaches and mentors provided to these guys, that the rest of us don't have other than parents, it theoretically should be easier to see the way and walk the path. Like our coaches or not but you know our coaches aren't like the coaching staff of Erickson and Orgeron with their drinking and acting a fool. These coaches seem to be preaching and practicing the right way. If these kids don't get it, IT'S NOBODY'S FAULT BUT THEIR OWN.
