I hope he plays as we really need ALL the help we can get since Hoover will be flinging the ball all over the place Saturday.

If it were really Mickey Mouse it would not be plead down at all - it would be dropped

Pleading down may mean lots of things - but what did doesn’t mean is nothing happened…

lol I don’t expect to convince you. Your mind is made up and that’s fine.
And it is a bit unfair in that I’m very familiar with the details of the case and you are not. The problem is ethical rules preclude me from putting it all out there

I would give 1,000-1 odds that the posters here have vastly more privileged backgrounds than McAlister, Turpin and Boykin (myself included). I'm willing to give these young men a break or perhaps two, but maybe not three.

As I recall, the greatest RB of the last 70 years reportedly came within a few seconds of a drug arrest at a seedy southeast Fort Worth motel parking lot in 1999 whereby he would have in all likelihood been dismissed from the team and never heard of again. At the time, he had finished spending his first 2 years as a backup to Basil McDonald and not the household name he was to become. He reportedly was in a suburban with soon to be NBA draftee Lee Nailon and luckily went to the restroom while Nailon and one or two others were detained/busted for marijuana possession. Being that the police couldn't prove said player was in the car, he wasn't arrested.

Without this prolific athlete and wonderful human being, TCU might very well be middling in the non-Power 4. We would certainly be a lesser program as this gentleman has performed uncounted selfless wonders for this university and its athletic program.

I don't mean to preach (ok, well maybe a little bit), but these young fellows could use more of our love and guidance than our harsh judgment. In a football program with 85 young men on full scholarships from mostly disadvantaged backgrounds, some poor decisions are going to be made. Frankly, I'm surprised how few there are- a tribute to our kids and coaches.

I can appreciate the point of giving some grace to you g adults, but do you really think we should try to equate Marijuana possession with gun crime?
