It is really getting old, seeing incidents tried in the court of (media-driven) public opinion.  Our nation has a legal system that is supposed to consider all relevant evidence, but reserve judgment until it has all been presented at trial.  These days, we are all-too-quick to disregard that process and the rights of the accused, unfortunately.  We love gossip too much.

If JRob had turned YOU into a newt, you'd big singin' a diffrint song!!

I got better.

Wasn't able to process the "newt" thing...

It was a reference to judging before the evidence was examined, burning "witches". Ie "witches" were often burned to see if they actually were witches. If they died in the fire, they weren't a witch.
And of course it was a very funny Holy Grail quote.

Sorry. It was a reference to monty Python and the Holy Grail and the legal system of medieval England. I was hoping someone would pick up on that. We were just using that line a few months ago when talking favorite movies or something.

I forget that some of you are (gulp) young.

   Appreciate the "young" thing!  Although I'm probably not as young as some on here as my youngest was a Badger Wrestler for five years and is now a productive citizen outside of Camp Randall.
Had to click on your youtube clip. Was never a huge Monty Python follower and I didn't remember the newt thing. Very funny. I'll be able to keep up next time.  :-)

Yes, but does he weigh the same as a duck?

[bigG]

JRob has coached since forever. I can't think of a time when he came up dirty.

Was the blackout supposed to make it anonymous?  The writer states the names of competition @ his weight.

Yes that sure narrows it down doesn't it

And sounds like an upperclassman - think that only leaves one person on the roster at that weight.

I'm sorry, but a one page essay as the penalty for a possible felony act? Puhleeeeeese. At its very best, that is just plain weak. Kids doing drugs and/or selling drugs needs to be handled at a level beyond the coaching staff - especially if that staff thinks having the kid write a one page "apology" is sufficient punishment.

While I understand that the DA doesn't find sufficient evidence to pursue the case, the commentary in the letter presented on this forum reveals that the kid was clearly culpable - he (as well as any number of others) were doing bad stuff and a one page essay isn't sufficient punishment. JRob should have simply turned the entire mess over to higher ups and stepped away.
