Not meaning to be flip, but welcome to Iowa City, Kyle. Watch what you're doing, where you're doing it. Not the end of the world.

Freshman cant handle their booze... been there done that. He will be fine

 

[OatesStache]

Another freshman who can't handle the first party weekend of the year. Memo to you kid, as someone who always stuck out to the ICPD, being the 7 foot tall drunk guy is a recipe for iron bracelets.

 

[CPHAWK82]

Looks like he was a little too excited to be back in Iowa City. Hope he learns his lesson from this.

Hmmmm.........seems we've been down this road before with another former bb player. Let's hope Kyle ends it here and never passes out drunk in an alley in February. Or was it January?

 

[HawkeyesWin]

No biggie here as long as this is a one time thing.

Welcome to the fishbowl effect. Everything you do in IC will be detected, inspected, subjected, dissected, and misdirected.

No need to cry, big fella.

No need to cry, big fella.

It's because he knows Fran is going to choke the **** out of him.

Did someone take his motorcycle away? I heard he's been hanging around D'Andre's house.

 

[WinOneThisCentury]

I also heard he was drinking in his defensive stance so as to not draw attention to himself. Pretty smart stuff here.

Didn't we have another basketball player (Bonhall?) pass out in the dorm bathroom a couple of years ago? Have to wonder where his buddies were.

I miss the days when a Frosh could pass out in the dormitory pisser without getting arrested.

 

[big10fan]

better get it out of the way now, can't be doing this next year or the year after.

 

[atomicblue224]

Doesn't the bar that serve him drinks get in trouble for letting minor drink in first place? How old do you have to be to drink in Iowa City?Don't they check your id at the door?

You know, I don't want to be PSU, but I gotta think the UI police and a GA could have talked the kid down and got him to bed. Just seems like there could be a system set up to address these freshmen first time offenses.

Seriously, these kids have been bombarded with media that makes it look like college students are supposed to binge drink with abandon. This is why they have social norms campaigns to adjust these beliefs.

I say take the kid's info, get them to bed and then make go to a few harm reduction meetings.

If ever there was a victimless "crime" this would be it.

Getting arrested is a good deterrent. If they don't learn it's their problem.
