Activebadger - Say you are right. Monte Ball was walking down the street with some "witnesses," sober, and was confronted by angry hawkeye fans that were jealous of your beautiful city. did he back down then? or did they drop out of the trees like ninjas and bruce lee him to the ground before fleeing the scene? Monte is obviously smart enough to get into college. smart enough to learn a complex playbook. so why would he be walking around at 2:15 am? alone? he was drunk, lost, stoned, or drunk/lost/stoned. his past has shown that he is hard-headed and he likes grandpas old cough medicine. i highly doubt he backs down from fights, hes a well tuned athlete with testosterone oozing out of his pores. Not saying he deserved it. if those five cowards ever get caught i say their punishment should be a court ordered attendance of every wisky football game in the front row right behind the wisonsin bench. but first of all you are biased, no shame in that, and just like you these "witnesses" dont want your best player to look like an a****** because he is the face and testicle of your offense. second of all everyone thinks their home town is cool. i prefer to live in the country where my only threat is unplowed roads, hitting deer, and losing sleep because of the coyote orgy that seems to happen NIGHTLY. and last but not least, i respect montes abilities on the field. HS kids come to the big ten to play against the biggest baddest mofo's in college football (kids go to the SEC to play against the fastest and highest paid college football players) . if it werent for opponents like Wisconsin, we wouldnt be battle tested enough to win our bowl games. but at least we can admit when our players are dumba****.
