Jury is still out for me. IF and I stress IF he tried to pass himself as Aaron Murray, that would emphasize that he has larger character issues than just getting drunk and horny.

This is what bothers me most...his lack of self control (fake ID, drinking to excess) knowing that he was a high profile athlete with a spot light on him AND lying to the cops and his coach.

The 'maybe the girl wanted it' and 'we've all done it' comments bother me...because I'm a 'girl' who was groped more than once back in the day when I waited tables. And, believe me, I did nothing to 'ask for' or 'invite' the totally inappropriate touching, other than, you know, just being female. I'm not going to brush off what *may* have happened just because sometimes males and females do stupid things when they've been drinking.

That said, back in the day, I saw girls doing crazy arse stuff when drinking and later saying it was 'against their will'. Crazy bitches, and I can totally see something 'normal' being overblown in the heat of the moment.

All I can do is trust CLM's judgement on this. He's been personally recruiting Mett for a year. By all accounts, the kid has been on the straight and narrow since getting kicked off UGA's team...given his lack of trouble since then AND CLM's trust in him, I'm not overly bothered.

If the dude does anything similar here and lies to CLM though...personally, I hope CLM kicks him off the team so fast and hard he wishes he were back in that bar with the bouncer.

What he did goes on at Reggies every single night. Every night.

Someone keep him away form Reggies. No, seriously, he should never be allowed in. Ever. for the sake of LSU football

I only hope that this doesn't come back to bite us in the arse ... and I certainly don't want to hear about it on every televised game.

I'm female ... almost 25 years removed from college. Yes, young adults will be young adults and there will be drinking, fake ids (did both of those myself) and some groping ... Can't say I was ever "groped" or if I was it was so not a big deal that I didn't even consider it that. And plenty of people do play "she wanted it" (his view) or her view "that's not I meant".

I have 18 and 13 year old sons ... I don't want him to ever be charged with "sexual battery" (shouldn't have used assault in the title I guess) ... I also have a 9 year old daughter who I don't want ever to be "groped". A slap on the butt? Call me a bad mom, but depends on the situation.

Like Rosie said, I just trust and "hope CLM kicks him off the team so fast and hard he wishes he were back in that bar with the bouncer".

What will be will be as far as this kid goes. I'll take the route now that he's grown and learned from it ...

Does any trust Richt? He said that he overreacted ... ?????

We had an assistant football coach (late 20's married and father to a baby girl) at a catholic school arrested for carnal knowledge of a female student. Ninety percent of the people my wife and I talked to blamed the girl for being a slut, dressing like a slut and "asking for it."
