Theres always the chance that if he was close enough to the legal limit when he blew where he was pulled over that by the time he got to the detox tank and blood was taken and tested that he could contest the initial reading and get off... Well thats what I heard on the radio... so we'll have to wait and see.
I just dont think it is as big as a deal after hearing the whole story. Trust me players on this team do a lot worse things and drink just as much. Purify just was unlucky and got nailed twice in a short span. He needs to be smarter about his drinking for sure, and probably just stop for the rest of his time here at Nebraska, but when I hear that he has a drinking problem I just don't believe it. He's a college student, they drink, if you are in college or have been I'm sure you drank and have done stupid things.

Reading the other posts here...I'll hope for the best (that he gets off or whatever) but I think he'll be out for the non-conference schedule (so 4 games). I sort of think if this spirals and there is lot of negative info./facts that come out about this episode (i.e. he was way over the limit, resisted, was non-cooperative, etc.) than he is gone completely...we can't let NU take a PR dive for this one guy's stupidity. :madash
Now you're reaching.
I thought I heard he was twice the legal limit on the radio but I haven't heard it anywhere elso so I could be mistaken as far as that goes. Let me assure you and everyone else, no law enforcement agency makes a habit of charging people with DUI when they're not drunk.
It's not a big deal? Are you people for real? Are you going to think it's no big deal when a drunk driver kills one of your family members if the driver was "close" to the legal limit?

Anyone else think it's a b!^@h he got pulled over for not putting on his blinker
Anyways, suspend him for 4 games.

I lost my younger brother to a drunk driver. I know the pain of it. I lost my best friend in High School driving drunk.
But kids make mistakes. I really do not know the whole story, being in SoCal, not hearing anything about it other than what is said here. I think BC is a good judge of character, and if he decides to keep him then there is a reason that none of us will ever know.
I know college kids drink and I know young military people drink, the unlucky ones get caught.
To me driving drunk is just like walking into bar drunk with a 45 and shooting up the place. The only difference is the size of the projectile. I have very little sympathy for drunk drivers. Youth normally clouds judgement, and I would most likely be willing to give him another chance if he agreed and stayed by certain requirements. BC will make the right decision. Really nothing we say has a bearing on the situation, but I do not want him to stay for the team. I want him to stay if it will help him grow and become an adult and learn from this. He is not needed in any way. But he may need us.

WHAT? Not a snow balls chance in HELL, are you kidding me? All you need to do is look at the court records and you will see that there are a lot of these types of cases that get dismissed or reduced for any number of reasons. Ask a group of police officers and ask them how many times they have had a case dismissed.
Now with that said, I will agree with what ever BC decides. My patience is wearing thin with this guy. :madash

What!!!
No turn signals?
That's it!..I really hate that most drivers out here don't use their turn signals.
He needs Jail time!
And who drinks 5 weeks after getting in trouble associated with being drunk before?
I can't even drink more than 4 beers at a time 20years after my motorcycle accident that was alcohol influenced.
Everyone I know who has ever got one has paid dearly. Sure, there may be some exceptions but I'd imagine they are few and far between, and FTR getting the charge reduced ISN'T being found innocent.

Did I say getting the charge reduced was saying he was innocent, I can't seem to see that part in my post. I was just stating that there are a lot of DUI cases that get dismissed or reduced in response to your post where you said there was not a snowballs chance in hell.

Speak for yourself, I know myself and a few others weren't defending him after his first incident.
Perhaps you should re-read the original post then.
I never said there wasn't a snowballs chance in hell the charges would get reduced.
