AJ SUSPENDED

I heard that he was suspended for celebrating his 6th beer before it was finished, and then he took a bow which was misinterpreted as showing up the other drunken college kids at the frat party. 3 retired old school frat boys didn't like this brash display and suspended him immediately.

now why would they go and do that?

this might be the most worthless thread ever. yes lots of collegiate athletes drink. yes it hurts some of them. yes pre died after drinking and yes it is illegal to buy booze for youngsters.

regardless of that, i just hope that oregon runners don't get sucked into AJ's silly, stupid mentality. i see wheating celebrate a bit too much after collegiate races now as if he didn't just run a 1:45 flat and make the olympics. he's too good to be brought down by hanging with that douche. they all are.

speaking of dorks, the thing that makes me uneasy about fully supporting oregon as a fan is their lack of leadership. rupp is a rupp-certified bad ass, but he's not exactly leadership material. his words are not at all endearing or inspiring. charisma is not his thing. AJ? please. centro seems like the man in terms of a future role model for the youngsters, but we'll see. maybe this had to do with AJ's suspension? vin sees him as a bad apple? i obviously do. god i just remember their indoor DM where an underachieving AJ made an ass out of the team during their post-race celebration/ interview. and really any interview, ever. and this. ugh.

in the end, when i ran in college our top dawgs would never stoop to buying a lowly freshman booze, and i respected the hell out of them. someone needs to set an example; i guess their coach gave up decided to do it himself.

And when I was in college, the top dawgs were in charge of supplying the booze to the freshman. That was REAL leadership - show the younger kids how to drink.

yes steve,tom bought it for us, and we bought it for the next freshmen

the circle of life moves us all

Sam is great, but the only reason he has that record is because Galen didn't run a 10K at Cardinal the past two seasons. But Sam would still be the 2nd fastest collegiate which is still very impressive.

I hope you realize that Sam did not run it at Cardinal.

I hope you realize that has nothing to do with what he was talking about.

It seems the only thing that Acosta did wrong was open his big mouth. Nobody would have ever known about this incident if he hadn't been blabbing about it to reporters.

You never went to college. This paragraph proves it.

But where was Kosinski?

Really it was all the fault of Keyser Söze...

or crab people

Really? I always wonder where people like you come up with "YOU" proved my argument. Reminds me of the little girls when we were in elementary school. Let me get this you let him sober up? Who the hell gives you the right to decide that all my underage drunk child needs is a little sobering up! Tell me about the alcohol in the system of a DUI. Let me see, get drunk up, and its all out of the system and sober in a couple hours? WHAT! Who are you. You better join this world. Goes home with a friend! Who another kid! Maybe the kid who bought the 17 or 18yr old the booze! Let me see how many cops stop a drunk up kid at a party, NOT INJURED, and call some friend to transport him! WHAT! You got to call every parent or responsible adult for each kid! How many law suits are filed for this exact thing! How the hell do you know WHAT SAFE PLACE HE SAYS HE IS GOING TO! In this situation, if we even have the right situation, you must call a parent, or a responsible adult! In this case his coach or ADMIN representative of the college. You can't trust the kid. You take care of the stitches, determine the alcohol levels, and still turn over to a parent etc! That kid leaves, his "friend" hands him another beer out in the ER lot, off they go all drunk up within the hour...BOOM ROLL OVER!How and why did this happen. Why was this kid not turned over to a responsible adult or parent. As I said have seen it many times! Any ER is gonna argue "were not under any legal obligation" they come back with a "Reasonable Person Doctrine and all that. Also a ton more! Tell you one thing for sure! YOUR WHOLE PRECEDURE will be changing there. It is gonna be a bloody war.

I'm a little late to this discussion. I'm watching a young law firm associate's career go down the drain as we speak for getting drunk at a bar, acting like a fool and getting arrested. Has nothing to do with his skills as a lawyer, but it's an embarrassment to the firm. He's gone at a time when law grads would kill for a good job with a fine firm. I guess the question is when does one decide to grow up and develop a responsible relationship to alcohol? For some, it happens in college; for some it never does and they tend to pay big time for it. There are always consequences, unfortunately it is hard to predict how benign or severe they will be until it's too late.

For a 17 y/o the issues of being a minor come into play but if an 18 y/o patient shows up in the ED drunk no one is calling the cops. They will treat him and he will wait for a long time in triage, etc. If he is still drunk they'll let him sleep it off for a couple hours or transfer him over to observation (the psyche ward) to sleep it off and/or talk to a social worker or something. If he is sobered up they will discharge him, its not the hospitals job to drive him home and unless they discharge him totally stinking drunk and he gets killed walking out the door they are not getting in any trouble.

debole came back real strong

There are a few things that people have to realize.

1) Regardless of how old you may be, 18-20 year olds are not kids. Stop calling them and thinking of them as "kids".

2) The 21 drinkiing age is ridiculous. Those of you who are old enough got the joy of having the age be 18. 21 is arbitrary. When 18-20 year olds are old enough to die in combat for their country, but can't have a drink in it? Give me a break.

3) Who cares if they were drinking after they won Indoor NCAA's? You can be sure that most of the people who didnt win were drinking that night too. I am glad they got a night to celebrate after a great season.

4) Stop pretending that all these kids are alcoholics. In my experiance, college runners are some of the more responsible college students. Even if they overenduldge a few times a season, that does not mean they will be post-graduate alcoholics.

Haha, I meant to put kids in #4 in quotes; "kids" are alcoholics.

Again! YOU are wrong, and that may just be the way your agency or hospital does it. Very dangerous. No one said the hospital drives him home. No matter how the law suit comes down on you they are gonna say YOU RELEASED HIM TOTALLY drunk! Ya better check the law suits out there. It apparently has not hit you yet. The day will come when it does. If you researched the successful law suits nationwide you would just crap your pants. I been doing this 37 years. Its a matter of time. Finally now we are over to the PSYCH WARD, THANK YOU, they are the ones that usually call the responsible adult or coach or parent. The vast majority of the time the underage kid is NOT COOPERATIVE! He just wants to get stitched up and his drunk buddy is waiting, causing trouble in the waiting room. What if this underage drunken kid comes back to your ER next week for the same problem. You do nothing again? When the law suit hits you guys, good luck telling the Law Firm for the family you don't get in trouble for this thing. My hospital will have no worries, because we released him to the head responsible adult assigned to this. AND THEN OUR PSYCH REP will probably call his parent in whatever state and inform them of the PSYCH's concern. Will probably find out here no one was drunk at all, heck we don't even have the real story.

The more words you type in ALL CAPS, the more everyone will be persuaded that you are CORRECT!
