Re: UM getting sued
No doubt! You are so right! I mean those two players with a sketchy past who coach brought in and got busted selling drugs on campus, and then those back to back DUIs for the star RB (who was allowed to stick around and play) and then the player who knocked out the other player at a football party. Yep all crazy Griz stuff.
Oh my bad, that all happened here and all under Choate. I was so confused for a second!

So why not just kick him off the team? Keeping him around sure seems like a tacit endorsement. Bobby said things were going to be different this time around. That is, if you believe him. Spoiler alert, nobody outside of Missoula believes Bobby is capable of acting in anyone’s interest but his own.Grizaddict wrote: ↑Sat Oct 19, 2019 4:56 pmWe’ve known about it since last year.

Re: UM getting sued
Fortunately or unfortunately, that decision does not lie with Hauck. That’s why UM created that code of conduct process so another situation like Pflugrad was involved in doesn’t happen. If that CoC was in place then, I think Pflugrad still has a job there.Cledus wrote: ↑Sat Oct 19, 2019 6:35 pmSo why not just kick him off the team?

I suppose I would agree with you if LaSane had punched a guy in the face after being told to leave his house and then causing $25,000+ damage in reconstructive surgery.

Re: UM getting sued
I don’t have an egriz account so I can’t search their website for Lorenzo Brown. However, I did use google and it appears that there was virtually no mention of this on egriz. A Sept posting mentions he was in a fight and might have been suspended, but otherwise, nobody knew about this:
https://egriz.com/grizboard/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=83488
https://egriz.com/grizboard/viewtopic.php?t=83332
https://egriz.com/grizboard/viewtopic.php?t=82596
https://www.egriz.com/grizboard/viewtopic.php?p=1393564
Despite what GA or Grizfnz says, this assault was not really known by the general public and appears to have been “swept under the rug”. If this suit was not filed, it could have easily been another incident under Hauck’s tenure that was kept quiet. And you can easily argue that this kid received special treatment with a 22 year payment plan of $100 per month.

He did punch a guy out in a bar fight and got arrested. Before that he was arrested for a DUI, you know getting in a car and endangering the lives of people around him.

Re: UM getting sued
I heard from a bunch lawyer friends of mine, who are diehard Griz fans, at church say that the guy has a really strong case and that the Griz should just fire Hauck and settle out of court.

Re: UM getting sued
Where did you see that he punched a guy out? All I've ever seen is he was involved in an altercation and arrested for obstructing a police officer by refusing to ID himself. That doesn't mean he punched (assaulted) anyone. I know you like to have fun and ruffle feathers on BN.com, but you need to be careful about what you say as it may defame someone. You're basically stating that he assaulted someone and to my knowledge there's no record of that. Typically if you punch someone in a situation where the police are called, you're charged with assault. Maybe he was, but I don't see anything that states that. LaSane did sit out the first four games of the next season, but I believe that was due to the DUIs and refusing to ID himself to the police, not because he assaulted/injured anyone.Grizaddict wrote: ↑Sun Oct 20, 2019 2:16 pmHe did punch a guy out in a bar fight and got arrested.

Re: UM getting sued
Are you saying he wasn’t involved in the fight? I was told he was for sure. If I’m not mistaken it was with a MSU hoops player.

From Skyline:
“Eight Bozeman police officers responded to a report of a fight called in at 1 a.m. that Thursday night. During the course of the investigation, one male, LaSane, was arrested for obstructing a law enforcement officer by refusing to ID himself to the officers. He was transported to the GCDC and held on $355 bond.”

Re: UM getting sued
You were "told he was for sure?" So first, you stated, "He did punch a guy out in a bar fight and got arrested." Now, you're saying you were told that "for sure," which is ambiguous at best. Big difference in the tone of your statements there, which seem to be disintegrating. Why not give out what little information you have in the first place instead of trying to make it sound like something it's not. I get it, you like to come over here and put MSU in the worst possible light in any given situation, but try to keep in mind that real people with real lives are involved and you really should be careful not to say anything untrue that would cause anyone undue hardship down the road. Just the thought that you may have probably isn't worth it to you, is it? Maybe he did punch someone and what you're saying is correct, but if you don't have anything to substantiate that, then don't you feel better about yourself by making it clear that what you're saying is just hearsay?Grizaddict wrote: ↑Sun Oct 20, 2019 5:01 pmAre you saying he wasn’t involved in the fight?

I have GOT to get in with these Bobcat insiders that Grizaddict is so close to! They seem to have incredible inside information and for whatever reason want nothing more than to share it with Grizaddict. I can’t speak to the validity of almost any of it, but even so it’d be nice to have such classified info at your fingertips Day in and day out.

Re: UM getting sued
Just checked egriz on this and it’s really troubling. In what world is it okay to not leave someone’s house when told to. If I’m in someone’s home and they tell me to leave, I leave. I think that’s what most normal, even normal drunk people would do.
But let’s say I didn’t and then I got into an altercation with the home’s owner and it’s broken up. At that point, even if I’m drunk, I’m gone.
But let’s say I don’t leave and instead I come back and punch the owner in the face fracturing his upper jaw, knocking out a tooth and loosening several other teeth.
Is everyone cool with that?
In this day and age, this guy Brown is quite frankly lucky that he didn’t get shot.
Somehow these Griz fans don’t seem to care at all about right and wrong. Justice doesn’t apply to their football players.
They seem to expect that someone with bills piling up at a rate much faster than the money they were awarded shouldn’t be able to seek relief through appropriate legal channels.
I would think Brown would have to take out a loan and then pay the bank back for the medical bills. He shouldn’t be able to essentially borrow money from Willison and pay him back.
This isn’t a bloody nose. It’s a serious injury. The court didn’t give the victim restitution, it gave him another problem.
