Rockne's Roundtable

Wow, so there was loud music, and college kids drinking.
This must only happen at ND.
And so the cops have to get heavy handed and try to haul them all in.
Busting in like they are taking down a drug operation.
Come on. You've got to be kidding.

I understand Tommy has done something that might change his college address. I feel bad that he may have put himself in a situation such as this. However he did make those decisions and in my opinion if he would not have run but stopped would most likely been off with very little done to him. I hope he has learned a lesson from all this and if he has then in the long run it might help him. I hope he can continue his ND education but he will have to face whatever happens. We all make bad choices and sometimes we pay a price. I do not want him crucified for this as I eluded I was not a football player but definitely was guilty of under age drinking as were most of the team I knew back then, I expect Calabrese made a somewhat typical stupid statement that drunks all over the country make though it was not his wisest choice. I think when you take chances you have to be willing to pay the price but I am not to sure I would have been willing to do that at their age all those years ago. I am sure all of us here are aware that some people are pleasant when drunk and others are much less so. I had a room mate at ND that clearly fit the last classification. It is possible that Calabrese might be like that but I think Rees realized all he had on the line and panicked.
