ShawnWatson Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I heard he was driving the Mizzou helmet car. That could have been a leading factor things not exactly street legal. Quote Link to comment
sd'sker Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 from what i have heard, it seems like the punishments given by the university is rather harsh. anyone know his bac or any other specifics. i genuinely feel sorry for him and his poor judgment in this instance. Quote Link to comment
