knapplc Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 More off-field incidents.... http://www.omaha.com...cited-by-police Yikes. The day just gets better and better. Quote Link to comment
Ratt Mhule Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 So your telling me.. 1. You don't drink, or only have like one..maybe two 12 oz. beers when you go out. Nothing wrong with that. My parents don't drink at all. 2. Spend a lot of money on cabs when you were in college...now...or both. 3. Have the BEST friends ever to drive you around and not have a drink themselves. 4. Love to walk long distances and maybe even love jogging...or yogging (if your Ron Burgundy) at the wee hours of the night. Just curious as to which it is. I'm curious. What's your motivation for making excuses for a guy who drove over the legal limit? "Everyone does it" is BS. Not everyone drinks too much and gets behind the wheel. We can all still like Caputo and wish him well and still think he's a dumbass for drinking and driving. You don't have to cover for him. Because I don't judge people when I've made the same mistake at that age. No, not everyone does it, but Im sure many on this board and even some who have posted in this thread have. He will learn from this and not make the same mistake again..hopefully. Sometimes you gotta learn the hard way. Now, whenever I know Im going out and Im going to drink a lot, me and some friends always switch off driving. But when I was 21, nobody would want to be DD because everyone wanted to drink. Im sorry if you think Im standing up for him, Im not, Im just not going to crucify him like some have. Its called being a hypocrite. Quote Link to comment
Rocketsocks Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Nah man. Nobody is crucifying him. He's a dumbass for what he did and he needs to own up to that. Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 The real question is, how was he passed out with a BAC of .103? Amateur. Rumor has it that he and Frank Solich were eating tacos together and someone slipped something in their drinks. Man, I forgot all about the incident with Frank. That is ome funny stuff. Not making light of DUI, but the Frank comment was funny. Not even sure how many folks remember that. Quote Link to comment

Chaddyboxer Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 We all make mistakes....he just lost control and made some dumb decisions....I feel bad for the guy, but not playing in the bowl game could be his punishment. It's all about self-responsibility. I have drank and drove before, but I don't drive when I am completely slambasted. I know my limits....once again, self-responsibility. I guarantee plenty of people on this board have drank and then drove...MANY of US do it....difference is....do you drive totally wasted all the time? I sure as hell don't. Quote Link to comment
husker rob Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 He is a senior and supposed to be a leader of the team and supposed to be setting the example for the underclassmen to follow. Bo doesn't have a choice but to set the example now Quote Link to comment

But the problem is...the punishment is worse for his teammates, the program, and the fans. If he cared less to put himself into this situation, then I'm sure he could care less about how many people he affected. Thankfully he is done and will never put on a Husker jersey in a game again.

Atbone95 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 There is nearly no way he didn't drive to that gas station. It's in the middle of nowhere. There isn't a bar within half a mile. He didn't park his car there and get a ride from his buddies, and he didn't walk there from the bars. He drove there. I'm sure there's security tape of the parking lot, so if he was dropped off, or walked, it'll come out. But it would be so highly unlikely that the odds aren't even worth talking about. Even if he got dropped off, it's a DUI. Stupid law since he wasn't driving, but that's how it works in Nebraska. Even if he's sitting in the passenger seat with the car on and he's drunk, it's a DUI. If you are above .08 BAC and are in a car within reach of starting the car (or if it's already started), it's a DUI. Quote Link to comment
TonyStalloni Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Put me in the column of people who have never driven drunk. Put me in the column of people who have never been drunk. Quote Link to comment

I do all my drinking at home or before the game, so I'm sober before I get behind the wheel. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 Put me in the column of people who have never been drunk. That is quite rare. Not everyone digs alcohol, so can't blame you. But I couldn't give up my wine. Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Fun fact about knapplc: when he drinks alone, he prefers to be by himself. George Thorogood wrote a song about it once. Quote Link to comment
