While I agree with Bowden's decision, it is not uncommon to hear FGF logic over here when a USC player gets in trouble.
When Garcia was arrested the first time, TigerNet exploded with criticism.
When Spurrier says he wants to wait and see the facts, a good number of those on TigerNet jump on his case. When Bowden says it, it's OK.
I don't see how McDaniel's situation is any different than any USC player who has gotten in trouble and later been exonerated.
Every fan base has their bad apples.

The difference is.....

in the Mcdaniel case there is sufficient evidence, including eye-witness statements, to support that the allegationss by the complaintant may not be entirely factual.

Yet there are stillmany here who would label him a thug, even though his charges were dismissed. The fact that Cook had no prior record doesn't seem to matter.

so what? Thus is the nature of our rivalry, and it is terribly easy to call names on a message board, although in person most of us would admit we sorta like a SCAR fan or two.

Cook is one individual and his incident had nothing to do with anyone else's. We keep being reminded by you guys about how the legal system works. Why shouldn't it have worked the same way for Cook?
And for the record... go back and look at posts between Aug. 20 and Aug. 30. Some pretty choice comments about a guy that had never given any reason to doubt him.

and $CU is widely perceived as a rogue out of control program where the patients run the asylum.
I'm not suggesting it's fair, but that's the way it is. When guys like you, Paddy and othe r$CU alums get fed up enough with it maybe you do somethign about it rather than walk the party line as if you support the buffoons who make execuse for and/or rationalize the inappropriate conduct.

The allegations don't really matter.
Biggie is trying to suggest that because of the evidence in McD's case there is cause for patience.
According to others, USC don't understand how the legal system works.
Where were those people when Cook got arrested? Little evidence and no record. Nevertheless... based on psts on this board at the time, apparently there was no need for a trial.

It's not the same. What part of that are you having trouble understanding? Your attempts to compare the cook and mcdaniel situations, our overall police blotters, and our fans is WEAK. Do you think you're fooling people, ,, better yet do you not even realize you're making feeble rationalizations?

McDaniel's hearing results was the same as several similar Scar athlete's cases when we debated this same topic a few days ago. When I asked you to give specific examples of Scar cases you listed about 4, none of which were even remotely similar to McDaniel's case/hearing.
Do you not understand that Cook had no witnesses other than the guy with a loaded gun magazine in the car with him who also happened to be charged and that Cook admitted he knew the gun was in the car, on a university campus?

they could get a conviction. Go figure, considering they only had two witnesses, who happened to be friends, and both were charged with the same crime.
Again.. equating this with McDaniel's hearing is ludicrous.

How do you expect to win a debate when you provide no support for your argument?
I asked for specific Scar examples similar to DM's case and the fan reaction to the post-hearing results...you've yet to provide any to support your argument. If you can't, there's no point in continuing the debate.
You'll notice Plyler said nothing about the specific parameters we're talking about.
From the get go a few days ago, the parameters I referred to revolved around what I described above.

Refresh our memory..
What were the facts re: the Cook case?
From what I remember/read...
He was arrested along with the other guy in a borrowed car? and a gun was found in the car, the other guy was carrying a magazine for the gun, the arresting officer stated they were trying to hide something when he walked up...Is that correct, what happened in the hearing/court?
Cook was guilty by association only right?

You stated that the reason you guys are so understanding in McD's case is because there is evidence to support his case.
How was Cook's case any different? His case had absolutely nothing to do with any other Gamecock case and there was plenty to suggest he was not a bad kid... including the fact that he had no prior record.

per a newspaper report and like your own coach admitted, he was at least guilty by association.
I was expecting there to have been some witnesses to support Cook's claims of innocence other than the guy carrying the loaded magazine in the car with him.. since you cited this as similar to McDaniels case in our last exchange.
Not even worth trying to compare this to McDaniel's circumstances.

probable cause to send it to a grand jury. Do you even know what that means? Your trying to equate Cook and his friend with the gun's charges/statements with McDaniel/jilted ex-girlfriend and the statements of his three witnesses charged with nothing is beyond laughable.
Go read the link for Cook's admission that he was aware the gun was in the car. You gonna try to convince someone he didn't know that a concealed weapon in a car on a university campus was against the law?
What do you know, more hogwash. LOL

Regardless of everything else said about this situation, I am highly upset that the editors of this website did not think that this story should go up until now. Its been well over a week. This website should post all news, good or bad.

Unless I'm missing something, I don't see what he is going to find out before trial that will allow him to make a decision. I stand by my belief that he should be suspended from the team pending outcome of the trial. I still don't see how anyone could be arrested as a result of someone just calling up the police and completely lying with no type of visible evidence or viable witness statement.

Unfortunately it doesn happen...had something like that happen to a friend. Girl got mad, beat herself a little, called the cops and claimed abuse, guy arrested. Sadly this girl is doing it again with another guy. Some people do crazy things and now, I am afraid even if someone does abuse her, her word means nothing to people around her because of her behavior with these men.

I too saw first hand what can happen to someone when they are simply accused of a wrong doing. It happened to one of my best friends.
Basically, a girl accused him of drugging her at a party at his house and then forcing her to commit certain acts while he took pictures. All of this while 2 other people were sleeping in the room and his wife sleeping in the adjacent room. The accuser produced no evidence, but simply went to the police with her story. The following evening the sheriff's dept. went to my friend's house, treated him like a 2nd class citizen, seized his camera, personal computer, and his laptop that his employer owns which he needs to perform some of his job duties.
Long story short - my friend did nothing of the sort to this girl; he has no criminal record and has never been in any trouble (outside of a speeding ticket). My friend was never charged nor arrested, but he did have to hire an attorney ($20K) and was without his personal property for over 6 months, not to mention the personal grief that he went through along with his wife and their families and the risk of losing his job.
We're still not sure why this girl did what she did, but it is very disturbing to me that someone can make your life a living h@*% by simply making up a story and telling the authorities. I believe in innocent until proven guilty, and after witnessing what my friend went through, there is no other way for me.

But as you said, he was not arrested.

When an arrest is made. The authorities face some pretty stiff litigation potential if they find no evidence or reason for the arrest. If that's the case with McDaniel, I hope he sues the city of Central for everything (or the little) they have. I don't expect that to be the case however.
