I for one have gotten in trouble for a lot worse then what Xavier did, and you know what the best thing that came out of it, my family and friends didn't turn their backs on me and kick me out of their lives. If he was my family I wouldn't turn away from him but that is different than being a scholarship player. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My drive to Evansville I think I went an hour without seeing another car. You can drive like 100 on 69 from Bloomington from Evansville, I have been told. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. I like SCOTT haven’t done anything like this in my life. Got a ticket doing 28 in a 20 once driving through a college school zone in the summer when everything was basically out of session except summer classes(yes seriously). That said like you said Hoosier…I have had several friends and even some family make some much bigger mistakes….and I was glad to be there to stand by them to help them through their hard times. Whatever Woodys decision…I stand by it. He will know what is best for his program…make an example of him or discipline him and love him and bring him back into the fold. Either way it’s a big moment for XJ and the team…hope they all get how seriously fast all this stuff can go away and put their life in focus. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCHoosier32 Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 can't believe the people making excuses here. 90mph on that road is reckless driving without question. i mean WTF? at that time of the day? resisting arrest? trying to not be considered the driver? i just don't get the excuses. he isn't 18 years old. he was part of the Windy City 5. i just don't get it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 Another thing we don't know is if the guys who got suspended if that was their first offense. I think to get suspended it usually is at least your second time getting into trouble. If that is the case Xavier and the other players might have gotten a slap on the hand for their first offense. We know Parker was suspended for a half and that Duncomb missed a couple of games. Didn't Durr also missed a couple of games without any reason given.

I don't drive 100. 85, sure. The lack of cops aren't the reason I would drive over the speed limit though, the lack of other motorist would be the reason. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undoubtedly he was speeding. That’s where the discrepancy of was it 140 or was it 90. It probably was 140, but by the time Fife was able to get the radar on the vehicle, it was only going 90. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierfan1215 Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 All I’m saying is if you all had a family member who was killed by a driver speeding (I’ve had 2) one in a car and 1 on a sidewalk who was 7 years old and your little brother and he was hit by a driver going 50 in a 25, you may look at it a little bit more serious than just a “ whoops bad decision”.In this situation thank goodness nobody was hurt. Take out the basketball aspect and if that’s your family member who was potentially put it harms way, it’s serious to you then. Imagine your son or daughter is driving home and that car turns just a little bit the wrong way and hits them. There always potential for things to go wrong anytime you’re in a car, but definitely shows a severe lack of good decision making and disregard for anyone but himself. We’ve all made bad decisions, but just because he ain’t perfect and neither are we doesn’t mean it’s okay either. In terms of being on the team I’ll leave that up to coach obviously, but I hope he learns his lesson regardless if he’s on the team or not and learns it isn’t all about X. If this was on somebody else’s team ya’ll would be all over him more than you are. My only post on the subject. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
