  • It is very sad when a young man has things like this happen. I have not been a fan of TR at QB because of his abilities, not because of his character. I know a lot of people say these are just kids, but that is not right, they are young adults. I really thought TR would have handled
    this differently, but I do feel bad for him. Put yourself in his position,
    he has taken a lot from the public, and I am sure he has tried his best.
    I truly do hope this works out for him,HE IS an ND guy, therefore lets
    not try to judge him, leave that to the courts, res life, and BK. I wish him the best and will pray for him

  • "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." I was a prosecutor for ten years. It is axiomatic that the Police Report reflects one side of the story. I often found that the facts reported were incomplete and neglected to relate some eyewitness accounts. I am not saying the reports regarding Rees' behavior are false or inaccurate. However, I have yet to see any information provided by eyewitnesses. And, if this was indeed a house party situation, there were likely many. Forget not that police officers are human beings. The reports they file are often subsequent to thoughtful consideration as to how to spin the facts to support their actions, which are inevitably scrutinized by superiors.

    All of the Tommy bashing aside, let's wait to see what the truth is. Convicting him in the court of public opinion is not right, regardless of who your choice for QB might be.

  • I think we all need to be careful here until all the facts come out. We only have the police version of events as leaked to the press. I know there are many that have a problem with Rees as a starting QB including me but I refuse to let that cloud my judgement about what happened last nifght. We need all the facts to come out before some try to give the boot to Rees.

    Agreed, Patrick. One man who lives on the street said his wife witnessed the arrest. She said the party was loud and very large. She also said Rees struggled even after he was pepper sprayed until the point when they actually put him in the car.

    Thanks, Dan. If that account is accurate, Tommy was acting completely out of character from what we have seen. I wonder if he lost his Clark Kent glasses.

  • To everyone saying that this is worse than Floyd's DUI...please stop. Just stop. DUI is a lucky break every time you don't kill yourself or somebody else. So while it's not murder or rape, it's a stupid senseless crime that costs millions of often innocent lives. This was a kid running from the cops at a college party. Yeah the headline of "assaulting an officer" looks horrible but he tried to pull away from the cops grip and tussled with him. Not like he slugged the cop or went Menace II Society on him. Just because we wanted to minimize Floyd's transgression so he could come back and don't feel the same about Tommy is no reason to equate DUI to undearage drinking and resisting arrest.

    Likewise, it's a moot point that TR is gone from the team. He deserves that punishment and probably the likely dismissal from the University. That's the fine line you cross between underage drinking, to fleeing/disorderly, to felony resisting arrest. He goes from losing his spot on the team to losing his top-flight education. But the catcalls for good riddance and goodbye Turnover Tommy? C'mon just because he can't throw a 20 yard out doesn't mean it isn't mournful that a 19 year old kid is going to lose a first rate education based on one stupid decision which hurt nobody but himself.

  • Next man in.....Golson starts, Hendrix is backup and Kiel groomed.......next year Golson starts and Kiel backs up and gets some packages to play.

    What a shame and TR either made a bad imature mistake and/or cracked under the pressure finally. Hate seeing a good kid make a bad mistake like that but at least nobody got hurt (besides himself).
