Upshaw didn't "beat" Gryzb. He grabbed her hair and her neck and the policeman who saw it said it looked like he was trying to push her to the ground.<br /><br />Which is, you know, horrible. But it's not beating her.Jerry Hinnenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15097537044668238939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20559458.post-40048203968584466792009-08-22T22:05:54.372-04:002009-08-22T22:05:54.372-04:00I agree Jerry.

My high school hasn't produced many (oh who am I kidding...ANY) major college football players. When I heard that Auburn had landed an HHS recruit, I was excited. But he's been pretty disappointing.

(...Anon.: I'm not calling Smith a troublemaker. (At least, I'm not trying to.) But being out at a bar that late on a school night with the season just weeks away and being involved--even if only peripherally--with any kind of a fight is a bad, bad idea that Smith should have thought better of. You're right that there probably wasn't much going on, that it's not worth "freaking out" over, that the Tide fans trying to paint Smith's arrest as somehow equivalent to Upshaw's (ugh) are deluding themselves. But I don't blame Chizik for being pissed, either.<br /><br />In the end, I'll be really surprised if Smith isn't back with the team soon.Jerry Hinnenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15097537044668238939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20559458.post-23740565771379320662009-08-22T16:48:10.159-04:002009-08-22T16:48:10.159-04:00Unless somebody I've missed has provided more ...Unless somebody I've missed has provided more details, I'm not ready to freak out over Smith's arrest, if only because "disorderly conduct" so often means nothing more than "pissed off some jerk on a power trip". If he was drinking, charge him with public intox or MIP. If he was acting a fool and refused to leave, charge him with trespassing. If he was fighting, charge him with assault. If the only charge you can stick to someone is disorderly conduct, chances are there wasn't much going on. Not saying I want a Saban-like approach to discipline, but I want more facts before I condemn this kid as a troublemaker.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
