Scarabgator on Suicide Watch

[ScarabGator]

Fuck this guy and good riddance. He turned that football program into a never-ending episode of Cops. Maybe he couldn't survive now that Tebawl isn't there to sob their way to a fraudulent national Championship. This guy cut every corner known to man, recruited thugs and had zero undefeated seasons. None, nada, nil, zip. Go visit your former players in prison, asshole.

truly folks, i present to you a clueless prick.

Starting in 2009, the Orlando Sentinel compiled a list of Florida football players arrested or charged with a crime since coach Urban Meyer took over six years ago. The original list was published in June 2009 and has been updated with any cases since then. The vast majority of these players were represented by Huntley Johnson, a Gainesville lawyer who frequently defends UF athletes.

CHRIS RAINEY

Charge: Rainey was arrested on a charge of aggravated stalking, a felony, on Sept. 14.

Outcome: Pending an investigation by the state attorney's office.

Team punishment: On Tuesday, coach Urban Meyer said, "He's not with the team. … It's just further evaluation as we go. The immediacy is he's not with the team."

SOLOMON PATTON

Charge: In August, the freshman was charged with misdemeanor possession of alcohol by a person under 21.

Outcome: Patton got a deferred prosecution, meaning he has four months from the day he signed it (Aug. 19) to pay $150 or do 10 hours of community service.

Team punishment: McClain said it was handled internally. Elam has played in both of the Gators' games this season.

FRANKIE HAMMOND JR.

Charge: Hammond was charged with DUI in June after allegedly speeding, swerving and driving with open bottles of Crown Royal whiskey in his car, according to a police report. He failed a field sobriety test, the report said.

Outcome: Hammond's case was resolved Tuesday, with probation reinstated for 12 months.

Team punishment: Hammond was suspended from all activities in June and his scholarship was revoked. He is paying his tuition at least until the spring and has not appeared in a game yet this season.

JANORIS JENKINS

Charge: Misdemeanor affray and resisting arrest without violence for his role in a May 30, 2009 fight outside a downtown Gainesville night club.

Outcome: The charges were dropped after Jenkins met the conditions of his deferred prosecution, according to lawyer Huntley Johnson.

Team punishment: Handled internally and did not miss any games, according sports information director Steve McClain.

MARQUIS HANNAH

Charge: Felony burglary of an occupied dwelling unarmed and misdemeanor battery in late April 2009 for allegedly forcing his way into a Gainesville apartment and punching a man in the face.

Outcome: Case was dismissed due to lack of evidence, according to lawyer Huntley Johnson.

Team punishment: Hannah, a walk-on, was dismissed from the team.

CARL JOHNSON

Charge: Misdemeanor violation of a sexual restraining order in February 2009 after getting on the same campus bus as an ex-girlfriend. The woman previously filed a petition claiming Johnson date-raped her on three occasions.

Outcome: All charges were dropped due to a lack of evidence.

Team punishment: Johnson never missed any time. Coach Urban Meyer said Johnson would remain on the team as long as the investigation checked out.

RILEY COOPER

Charge: Misdemeanor resisting an officer and failure comply with a police or fire department in February 2009. Campus police cited Cooper for not getting out of the way of a moving car upon police's orders, according to Johnson.

Outcome: The case was dismissed.

Team punishment: Cooper played baseball during the spring of 2009, and it's unknown whether Meyer sought out punishment.

CAM NEWTON

Charge: Felony counts of burglary, larceny and obstruction of justice in November after allegedly stealing a laptop from a UF student and throwing it out his dormitory window upon police suspicion.

Outcome: Newton received pre-trial deferment – common for a first-time offender – and served community service and probation time.

Team punishment: Meyer suspended Newton for the rest of the 2008 season. Newton transferred to Blinn (Texas) Junior College and now is the starting quarterback at Auburn.

JACQUES RICKERSON

Charge #1: Misdemeanor possession of marijuana in February 2007.

Outcome: Charges were dropped without legal ramifications.

Charge #2: Felony domestic violence by strangulation and felony obstruction of justice after a November 2008 altercation with a girlfriend.

Outcome: Charges were reduced to misdemeanor status, then the Alachua County courts gave him two years probation without proceeding with the charges.

Team punishments: Rickerson was suspended for the 2007 season opener for the marijuana charge, then kicked off the team the morning of the domestic violence incident.

TORREY DAVIS

Charge: Misdemeanor knowingly driving with a suspended license on numerous occasions, including once in July 2008 and another in March 2009 – two weeks after he left the team – that placed him in jail.

Outcome: The July case was closed.

Team punishment: Davis was always in Meyer's doghouse and hardly allowed to practice or play with the team for various academic and disciplinary reasons, so it's safe to say Meyer suspended Davis for his crimes.

JAMAR HORNSBY

Charge #1: Cited for misdemeanor property damage and criminal mischief in April 2007 for allegedly throwing a man onto the hood of a car during a fight.

Outcome: Hornsby received deferred prosecution and the charge was later dismissed.

Charge #2: Unauthorized use of a credit card to obtain goods and services, a felony, along with misdemeanor larceny of a credit card for allegedly making more than 70 fraudulent charges on the gas credit card of a female UF student who died seven months earlier.

Outcome: Charges were reduced to misdemeanors and Hornsby took a plea deal – probation and community service.

Team punishments: No punishment for first offense, kicked off the team for second offense. Hornsby served a previous five-game suspension, but it wasn't for the first misdemeanor – it was for selling his complimentary tickets.

JERMAINE CUNNINGHAM

Charge: Misdemeanor battery in December 2007 for an altercation with a clerk at Jimmy John's Gourmet Sandwich Shop in Gainesville. Cunningham allegedly threw paper cups at the clerk.

Outcome: Charges were dropped.

Team punishment: Cunningham played in Florida's next game, the Capital One Bowl, but Meyer said he imposed physical punishment on Cunningham, who also couldn't accept bowl-game gifts.

TONY JOINER

Charge: Felony theft in October 2007 for breaking into a car impound and retrieving his girlfriend's car, which had been towed.

Charge #2: Misdemeanor possession of marijuana in January 2008.

Outcome: The charge was dropped despite serving probation for his original arrest.

Charge #3: One count of battery and one count of assault for an altercation at an apartment complex in October 2008.

Outcome: The charges were dismissed, according to Johnson

Team punishments: Wilson was suspended for the entire 2007 season stemming from the gun charge, including a full-year suspension from University of Florida academics. Wilson rejoined the team in 2008 but was suspended and eventually kicked off after the third charge.

DUSTIN DOE

Charge #1: Misdemeanor affray and resisting arrest for his role in an April 2007 fight.

Outcome: Charges were dropped.

Charge #2: In June 2009 was charged with knowingly driving with a suspended license, a second-degree misdemeanor

DORIAN MUNROE

Charge: Felony theft in May 2007 when he removed a University Police boot from his car and put it in his trunk.

Outcome: Charges were dropped.

Team punishment: No suspension for Munroe.

JOHN CURTIS

Charge: Misdemeanor violation of probation in May 2007 after failing to serve five hours of community service stemming from an alcohol citation.

Outcome: Curtis complied with the violation, served probation and the case was dismissed.

Team punishment: Curtis was in Meyer's doghouse, but he was also injured, so it was difficult to tell why he was out.

BRANDON JAMES

Charge: Purchasing marijuana — a felony — along with misdemeanor possession of marijuana in June 2007.
Advertisement

Outcome: The felony charge was dropped due to a minuscule amount (8 grams); James served probation and community service stemming from the misdemeanor charge.

Team punishment: Suspended for one game, the 2007 opener against Western Kentucky.

AVERY ATKINS

Charge: Misdemeanor domestic battery in July 2006 after an altercation in Daytona Beach with the mother of his child. The initial investigation took place in June 2006 with Atkins facing accusations of felony false imprisonment along with the battery charge.

Outcome: Atkins received pre-trial intervention and both cases were eventually dropped.

Team punishment: Meyer immediately suspended Atkins, who then transferred to Bethune-Cookman, found legal trouble there and died in July 2007 from a drug overdose.

LOUIS MURPHY

Charge: Misdemeanor possession of marijuana in May 2006.

Outcome: Charges were dropped, and Murphy had to perform 12.5 hours of community service.

Team punishment: Murphy was suspended for three games during the 2006 season.

JON DEMPS

Charge: Misdemeanor driving with a suspended license in September 2006.

Outcome: Charges were dropped and Demps received six months probation.

Team punishment: Meyer kicked Demps off the team after the 2006 season reportedly for a marijuana-related incident. Demps worked out with the Gators later that summer but never played for UF again.

DAWAYNE GRACE

Charge #1: Misdemeanor charges of battery and theft in July 2005 stemming from a sworn complaint.

Outcome: Charges were dropped because victim did not wish to prosecute.

Charge #2: Misdemeanor violation of a city ordinance and disorderly conduct in October 2005 for his involvement in a fight. Eyewitnesses told police that Grace threw a punch.

Outcome: Grace completed a deferred prosecution program including 7.5 hours of community service.

Team punishment: Meyer suspended Grace indefinitely after the October arrest. Grace later transferred to Georgia Southern.

Geeze, that's a long list!!! I read the first 3 players then got impatient and scrolled to see how much there was...WTF I'm not reading all that!

[Saint John]

Another black eye for the Gators. This just in:

It's not a real workday without some shocking NFL-related news, so here you go: Brandon Spikes, the rookie linebacker (from Florida) for the New England Patriots, has been suspended four games by the NFL for a violation of the league's banned substance policy.

Buncha thugs down here in Florida Not very surprising....

[ScarabGator]

if I had as much time as SJ obviously has then I could go around the country and expose many other schools with hellacious rap sheets but that would bore the shit out of me. Florida gets more media attention for everytime someone blows nose gizz because of the high profile school that they are, plain and simple. And punishment given to the bad apples never seems to get as much play...hmmmmmmmmmmm.

First, I do it simply to bust your balls, so don't take it personally. Second, "googling" "Florida gators arrested under Urban Meyer" and the accompanying copy and paste job takes all of about 35 seconds! Third, Penn State had a rash of similar (if not worse) incidents a few years back, but they put the hammer down and put a stop to it within one year! Last, the guy had a great run, there's no denying that.

[ScarabGator]

well Urban is gone now so the media will have to find someone else to throw hot grease on.

RT @mortreport: Can confirm that Will Muschamp will be next Florida coach. Met with AD Jeremy Foley in Austin today, offered, accepted.

[ScarabGator]

It is true MT and Will Muschamp is a GREAT hire! GatorNation is pretty happy about this. Noone saw it coming, his name was never mentioned in the "inner circles"...I hear Texas is having meltdowns on their message boards about him not stepping on up and them running mack brown out of town....
My only concern is Major Applewhite will be the new offensive coordinator at UF and hes never impressed me. Hope hes ready to step into a blazing hot oven....

[DrFU]

From the Austin American Statesman:

------

Head coach-in waiting? Texas never should have agreed to risky setup

Texas defensive coordinator Will Muschamp leaves for Florida

Kirk Bohls

Turned out Will Muschamp wasn't the head coach-in-waiting after all. He's now the head coach-in-absentia.

One of the biggest gambles in Mack Brown's storied tenure at Texas backfired Saturday when the fist-pumping, chest-bumping defensive coordinator tired of waiting for his turn at the top and headed to Florida in a shocking move.

Texas never should have agreed to the risky setup. It ended badly at Florida State, where Bobby Bowden tried to cling to his job too long and was forced out, and it ended poorly in Austin, where Brown faces upheaval among his coaching staff.

Brown fires or receives the resignations/retirements of three of his long-standing aides, including offensive coordinator Greg Davis, and now the head coach loses one of the best defensive coordinators in college football.

Just how good Muschamp is became obvious when the Gators hired him despite his never having been a head coach. That the 39-year-old Georgian landed this gig on the heels of a 5-7 season during which his defense drastically underachieved stands as testament to his abilities and reputation.

Sure, Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley is gambling on Muschamp, but no more than Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds was when he agreed to Brown's idea that Muschamp be named head coach-designate.

It's a lousy idea, if only because other assistants may think they are serving two bosses — Mack Brown and the next Mack Brown — and because Mack decided to linger longer than expected.

Brown was really more interested in keeping Muschamp around to help win another national championship than he was in scripting the perfect exit. Keeping a great talent like Muschamp was a good idea, but head coaches-in-waiting shouldn't have to wait more than one year or two at the most.

At least one source told me Brown had decided in the offseason to step down at the end of the 2010 season, but he changed his mind after his first losing season at Texas, worried that his legacy had been tarnished.

Muschamp was annoyed by the decision, sources close to the football program have said, and chose to leave what he thought was promised him: arguably the best coaching position in the country because of Texas' enormous resources, facilities and budget and the recruiting edge that is the Lone Star State.

No one can blame Brown for sticking around. At 59 and in good health, Brown has built one of the best programs in college football, but now faces the biggest crisis of his tenure, even bigger than that damning, five-year losing streak to Oklahoma.

Now he must fill both his offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator positions, and Muschamp could easily take budding offensive coordinator Major Applewhite with him to further deplete Brown's staff.

There might not be many greener pastures than Texas, but Florida might be one of them, and it's easy to see Muschamp lusting after what is one of the top-five programs in the country.

Muschamp will find one huge problem in that he has to replace a legend in Urban Meyer, but then, he was prepared to do that here

As a UF alumni, I am surprised at this. Muschamp has no head coaching experience at all. To put him in this spot at one of the top 5 high profile head coaching

jobs in the nation, well, it's going to be interesting how it turns out. Next step will be to hire Gus Malzhan away from Auburn to run the offense. I fear the worse

from Applewhite if he does tag along. Deano, you fucking shit stain, why all the SEC hate. Jealousy? You must have that Gin Blossoms tune playing repeatedly

on your pod. Year in and year out SEC football RUNS college ball, ESPN knows it, the NFL knows it. I'll be surprised if Cam Newton doesn't put up 300 passing

and 300 rushing against the sieve defense's of the Pac-10.....

More good news from the set of Cops (University of Florida football):


Florida cornerback Janoris Jenkins made headlines earlier this month his announcement to skip the NFL Draft and return to Gainesville for another season. For new head coach Will Muschamp, it was a great display of leadership from one of the most talented upperclassmen on next year's roster. Unfortunately that positive act was quickly offset with Jenkins' citation over the weekend for possession of marijuana.

The Gainesville Police Department informed the Associated Press that Jenkins was arrested for misdemeanor marijuana possession early Saturday. He was in the bathroom at a nightclub and caught with a "clear baggie" of marijuana. The misdemeanor charge is for an amount of marijuana less than 20 grams, and his court date has been set for February 17.

Of course this is a notable arrest for Muschamp's campaign to win Florida their first Fulmer Cup, "awarded" to the program with the worst collective criminal record. Urban Meyer often was criticized for the off-field issues under his watch in Gainesville, and this arrest does suggest that little has changed.

The timing was also not ideal for Jenkins' arrest. Being the midst of changing coaching staffs, and just two weeks after his big return announcement, it will not be easy to quietly sweep this story under the rug. Jenkins would like to keep his name in the headlines for next year's NFL Draft, but he would prefer the story to be on the football field.

I saw that earlier. I dont know how they can blame the new coach for a player sporting a bag of weed. Its gonna be how the new coach deals with it that needs to be scrutinized. And I feel Coach Muschamp will do the right thing. Its unfortunate though. Janoris is a super good guy who does a lot of volunteer work in the Gainesville community and truly cares about getting his education first, as hes already shown. Now obviously he likes to party too. I know its against the law and stuff but if a bag of weed is the worst thing he does then he should have no problem entering the Pearly Gates above. His little brother is a linebacker there whos even bigger than Janoris. I'll just bet Jelani Jenkins is getting ready to kick big bro in the ass....

Spare me the "coach Muschump will do the right thing bullshit." He will suspend this clown for the Florida International or Troy State game, but I guarantee you he won't miss any conference games. typical SEC lawbreaking criminals and their universities.

Oh and I am not busting your balls, because you clearly don't have any. You're a pussy.

Oh Dean, you are so clever and witty with your little ramblings and name callings...how do you keep coming up with these gems???? I know your not busting my balls....you dont have what it takes to bust my damn balls.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) - Nike, Inc., is giving $400,000 to Penn State's libraries in honor of Hall of Fame coach Joe Paterno's milestone 400th win.

Paterno and his wife, Sue, have been staunch supporters of the libraries, and one of the school's main libraries is named after the family.

Libraries dean Barbara Dewey said Monday the donation will in part help pay for renovations and technological upgrades.

The Paternos have contributed more than $4 million to the school during JoePa's 45-year career, including aid for the libraries.
Win No. 400 for the 84-year-old Paterno came in November when the Nittany Lions rallied from three touchdowns down to beat Northwestern 35-21. Penn State won one more game in 2010 to give Paterno 401 career victories, most among major college coaches.
