Uh Oh, Wirfs got in some trouble

I turned 18 before I graduated high school. Went to Iowa City to experience summer rush and back then 18 was old enough to drink. Visited multiple fraternities and had an awesome 3 day weekend. A few weeks later pledged a fraternity (same one Neil Armstrong belonged to) and showed up a couple weeks before school started to assist with rush activities and settle into my dorm room (Mayflower). Co-ed dorm floor filled with girls going thru Sorority rush and one male. That's right, I was alone on the floor with approx. a dozen ladies. The adjoining dorm room (shared kitchen) was empty so a couple gals moved in temporarily while their room was being painted. I drove a 72 Cutlass convertible 442. Since some of the gals were car-less I became the chauffeur of choice fairly quick. IIRC by day 4 I was driving with 3 playmates (not actual playmates, duh) toward a spot near the iowa river to go slow-tubing down that lazy waterway that bisects IA city. Me, 3 daisy dukes and booze and not a cop or preacher in sight. One of the girls was Catholic, so I told her I was Catholic. One was Jewish so I told her I was Jewish. One was atheist, so I told her I was atheist. Ya know what Jewish girls and Catholic girls have in common? If they come from good homes they were repressed. What do you think was the first thing they wanted to do upon leaving home for college? That's right get drunk. What do you think the second thing they wanted to do was? That's right, afternoon delight with a blond blue-eyed rogue who lied about his wealth and religion.
My freshman year at Iowa was the best year of my life. It was Animal House meets Grease. At least that's how I remember it.
No car airbags. No pretentious cell phone use. Jumping off the bridge into the river was encouraged. No laws forcing you to wear a seat belt. 18 and you could drink. Feminism back then meant free to pose for Playboy. No aids to inhibit the freaky deaky. Iowa football and basketball and wrestling were all something special. No speech codes. No sexual-harassment laws to be misused by ambitious social climbers. No handicap parking spaces. No school codes regulating relationships between men and women. Sleeping with your Professor to get a better grade was still an unofficial way to improve your GPA.
It was a different world. A world where you could travel super-sonic to an exotic city. A world before safety Nader-Nazis had taken total control. A world before everyone became a victim. A world before the rule-of-law broke down. A world before fun-killers. A world before the war between the sexes turned from cold to hot. It was an imperfect world, but a better one than we have today.

I turned 18 October of my senior year of high school and 18 was legal to drink. My dad ran a bar and supper club. Small town Iowa I was tending bar and serving most all of my high school teachers. Load em up at night, shit eating grin the next day in class.
 
Dumb or not, you can bet Tristan be sitting out the opener, primarily due the previous infraction. Kirk will occasionally let little things go, but he's not all that forgiving when it comes to repeat judgement errors.

On a side note, if the cops want a better use of their time, I'd like to see those thousands of dipshits staring at their smart phones while driving spend some time in the hole. I mean, literally every day, I encounter some idiot weaving all over the place as they bounce their eyes from the phone and back to the road over and over. People are dying daily due to that shit.

Not ideal but this scenario doesn’t concern me so much. I feel bad for the kid. Others have done far worse. I doubt he’ll have any desire to stick around ic next year after this bs.

No fucking way did he ever have any plans of sticking around IC after this year. He and everyone else knew he was a three year player.

I know you’re emotional about this Fry Iowa, but Wirfs is an Iowa kid, so you never know. The way Epenesa is talking, there’s no way he’s coming back.
 
You seriously are going to make a kid sit out for being late?
How many times have we all been late?
Late for class. Late for supper.
If it's a reoccurring thing and he is late for class, late for practice, ECT, ok then. But he was out having fun and lost track of time. Hardly the crime of the century. Not really a crime at all.

Did someone call the police on him or did the cop go in the bar looking for "underage" people?

Either way it’s impossible for that guy to blend into a crowd.

I hate to say it because I don’t think he did anything wrong per se, but he better realize that as an Iowa football player an entire police department and a significant part of the local populace will always be gunning for him out of either spite or attention-seeking. It’s an enormous target on your back and I guarantee Ferentz and Doyle told him (and everyone else) that when he first got there, and told him again after the moped thing.

I have to think this is his last chance before getting Snydered, only difference being that Wirfs can always say F it and expedite himself to the NFL if that happens. If Larimy Tunsil can make it so can Wirfs.
 
Sit out the first 3 minutes of the first irrelevant game...move on. He is a "good kid" and his mom likes him.

If you're a 20 year old college kid with a huge target on your back, there's a pretty good chance you're going to find some sort of trouble over a few years. Ferentz also understands this. If he gets a punishment, it will be more so out of a feel of necessity than Kirk actually giving a shit.

What the F does that have to do with it? You drinkin?

I nearly got rear-ended on my way home from work a couple weeks ago by some bozo in a beater flying down I-235 going 70+ paying no attention to the road. I had to lay on my horn before he swerved left between me and the median. People that cause accidents while on their phone should have their licenses suspended on their first offense, and revoked on a second or third. I honestly think it should be treated with the same severity as on OWI at this point.
