Pleads down to a DUI per se on the previous arrest last year, was ticketed for mud flap violation and improper lane change on last week's stop.

He'll be doing community service as well, speaking at the high schools about the dangers of drinking and driving.

I assume Hauck will probably still suspend him for a couple games as punishment for getting another DUI charge (even if it was swapped out for a guilty plea to the previous DUI that was still in the courts), but if this teaches him to not do it ever again, it sounds like a good resolution to me.

What's the over/under on his next DUI charge?

Okay, I gotta ask, what the F- is a "mud flap violation?" This sounds like one of those stupid only in Montana type jokes.

I, in total sincerity, hope it is "never."

My fear, seeing the slew of co-dependents and enablers of his I have witnessesed online, is that it might happen again.

Big assumption BAC. Given how Hauck has handled these things in the past, a potential all-American candidate will be in the line up almost certainly by the time the Griz play their first D-1AA opponent.

I hope Hauck proves me wrong.

Its unfortunate this will most likely get swept under the rug, like the rest of it.

It's not a joke.

My good friend is a MHP in the Butte area. The mudflap violation is his favorite thing to write a ticket for. If he sees an erratic driver he pulls them over with that violation in mis back pocket and assesses the situation if they are cool they get a warning and alls good.

If anyone that he pulls over for speeding, erratic driving, etc and they are bit*chy or non compliant he nails them for the moving violation and hits them with a mud flap violation if it applies.

I am not certain what the height is but if you have a pickup or larger truck and your rear bumper is so far off the ground you have to have mudflaps to reduce things kicking up and flying off your tires.

I would always take note of a repeat offender telling me not to do something.



It's just like my friend that has 4 DUI's and criticizes me for drinking and driving.

Wait. This seems incongruous Msla. Hauck suspended him for 4 games last year. Are you suggesting that was too light?? I think Hauck has done a very commendable job of disciplining kids no matter whom they are or how good they are. Do you have evidence to the contrary??

Yes, UM still has an express lane at the court house and the line never ends.


Hauck isn't doing enough, but kicking off a high profile repeat jagoff would sure send a message to the players fans and administration that he won't tolerate it anymore.

Bobbie needs highly talented players to squeak out wins because of his poor coaching staff, ability and in game decision making, so don't hold your breath.

This was Mr. Quinn’s first lifetime DUI conviction.

He's not been repeatedly convicted. Repeatedly charged, yes.

An illegal lane change and mud-flap violation swept under the rug? He served a 3 game suspension for the DUI he plead to at the start of the '07 season.

I think there will be some reprecussions (sp?) for the arrest and bad press, but since the charges were dropped I don't see that there's anything else that even needs to be covered up.

if hauck was doing a good job with all the arrests, they wouldnt happen anymore. that marks like the 9th or 10th arrest to a griz player since july. that doesnt include the arrests last fall during the season. seems to be me like mr. hauck is doin a phenomonal job ha

No - After UM issued a "Zero Tolerance" policy... Quinn got arrested for a DUI, and he also talked to the media in an extremely embarassing interview after Bobby issued a "No players are allowed to talk to the media" mandate... and he got slapped on the wrist both times. Jason Washington skipped a workout and got kicked off the team. Don't try to tell me Bobby doesn't practice selective discipline.

Ya I like the attitude "Its not an issue because it was just a mud flap citation" He is obviously a problem child the number of times he has been involved with the law, whether convicted or not. But the swept under the rug comment referred to all of the arrests at UM that have occurred and the university or Hauck have not made much of a statement about correcting it in any way.

Re/Max, I don't care if he is always innocent, that isn't the point. Anyone that gets into situations like this repeatedly has a problem and doesn't deserve the multiple "chances" he gets. He is getting special treatment because he's an athlete.

Quinn, best case scenario is a complete moron of GF10 proportions. The fact he is arrested constantly is a warning flag to anyone that has their eyes open and head out of their..........

ya i couldnt imagine how tough it must be to play for the griz through all this. a new teammate gettin arrested just about every month. having to do punishment for their actions. why would you want to play for a team of criminals.

its awesome how we are all talkin about the problems over at UM. hardly any chatter at all about legal troubles in bozeman. looks like msu is becoming the classy football school of the state

Lets see:
