Another DUI........

Seriously, how hard is it to a call a taxi in Lincoln? Don't they offer a "safe ride" that lasts from Friday - Monday and is free like they do in some other college towns?

Not hard to call one. Very hard to get one in less than 2 hours. I've called taxis from downtown before, waited 30 minutes and started walking (to West A and Coddington) and have made it home before a taxi finally calls to tell me they are ready for pick up. Not saying he should have drove, but a guy really can't count on a taxi if he wants to make it home before sunrise.

 
Do you really think this is a team discipline problem? Or is it typical college kid behavior? Who here didn't drink in college? Sure it's stupid and I'm not condoning it... but I did it.

Most college kids drink. Much less than most drink and drive. Really are no positives in this case.

Disagree. Almost every person I knew in college (which was not long ago) was guilty of drinking and driving at least a couple times. It's just that 99% don't get caught. I think you'd be amazed if you knew how many kids drink and drive in Lincoln every night.

While I definitely admit that just about everyone I knew in college had driven drunk on occasion (some made it a nightly) thing, working in student affairs now, I interact with so many "good" kids that I never associated with during undergrad. These kids don't go out, yet alone drink, yet alone drink and drive and I would say that we probably have more of these types than the types I hung around with (this too being at the #1 party school in America). I'm sure UNL has a similar population of these types that you never really know/notice because they don't go out and were/are way out of the drinking/go out social circles.

Or maybe as a student you were more in the know then now. Some of the “good” kids you mention may have extracurricular activities you're not aware of.

Nope, I'm still very much "in the know" as you put it. Still go downtown multiple times a week, still go to band parties, never see any of the "good" kids that I'm talking about.

I did, and usually drove afterwards. Not something I would do anymore, but did in college... a lot.

 
I don't think this is a big deal at all for the team. For Jackson it sucks but I wouldn't say the team has any sort of behavior issue.

I don't know your situation, so I'll take your word for it. However, what I do know is that I was a "good" kid and I can promise you no one that was not a friend of mine knew what I did. I had a strict upbringing and even when I started drinking I didn't feel comfortable with anyone other than my friends knowing I drank. There are many other places to drink besides bars and band parties. I got a DUI (sidenote: complete bs, I passed my field sobriety tests but still had to blow, blew a .09, it was dumb sure, but I can promise you I was still able drive better than half the sorority chicks I watched driving around campus stone sober every day, but I digress) I got a DUI and I can't even begin to tell you how many kids told me their parents/grandparents couldn't believe it and how many professors, old teachers, coaches, church couples, etc, asked me about it and couldn't believe it was actually me. "Good" kids find places to drink and often make the mistake of driving afterwards, just like everyone else.

First of all, there are 120 guys roughly between the ages of 18 and 22. How responsible we're you at 18 to 22??? The majority of us were testosterone driven, drunken, hornballs. They're kids, they do dumb sh*t. Hello

Just say you hate Bo, it'll get easier as time goes on...

To suggest this is a team issue is a bit of a stretch to say the least.
