[ccgeneral 38,084]

Hope we learned from this guys! Lets get back to work!

 

According to Monroe County Chief Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Robert Miller, both Ferrell and Robinson signed up for the pretrial diversion program last Thursday. They will be required to complete some hours of community service, attend an alcohol education class and avoid further legal trouble for a year. After that, their case will be dismissed.

Thank God. I really think our young men are good and have good intentions they just make immature choices and life is a learning lesson. Besides the "EMBARRASSMENT" to the school, their teammates, their families, they embarrassed themselves and the many of us who love them and are proud of them. In my opinion, they are still kids, but their ages say they aren't. I truly believe they have learned a valuable lesson and to be honest, there are more that will learn a lesson. Some of us have to have "experiences" to be our best teacher. I WAS ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE! And at "48" years of age, I still make mistakes and bad choices. Not like that because I don't drink, but because we grow and we learn something new every day and at times, we/I slip. But it's not the choice or mistake that matters or the slip. What matters is the getting up, learning a lesson and not doing it again. That's what makes us grow. These boys are good boys and Patty Williams, along with(I know) others are still proud of them and what they will grow into and become. Thank you for the update!!

When you speak from your heart and experience, then it's easily said. Also when you have children, we all want them to be perfect Angels, but in a real world like we live in, there are all kinds of temptations, things we never heard of growing up, ex: drugs & alcohol, haters and crazy media, (which I had a personal experience with) that it doesn't make a difference if you do call yourself a "protective and loving" parent, they still will make their own choices and their own mistakes when they get older that we always don't approve of and make us want to put our hands on them and shake sense into them. But we have to, we must continue to encourage them, lift them up and love them even harder because life has life on life situations that we as parents can't always save them from. So in saying that, I want to publicly say to Stan's and Yogi's parents "GOOD JOB" and I will always support your son's and I have your back

It's incredibly difficult to be a young adult in this day and time (not that it wasn't in times past)...

but in the internet age of instant gratification, and more specifically; instant information age...

we know what everybody is up to, whilst ignoring our own shortcomings...and to me, that is that greater problem...

the lack of self examination and the focus of other's faults is the wedge that has driven so many apart...

oh Wow and YES you are. He is gaining the same exposure, his is with "as a whole" that's the only difference. But I will tell you to tell your son THANK YOU FOR SERVING MY COUNTRY!!

I will say that my generation does not understand how good we have it and that to me is quite sad and some people are too spoiled it is ridiculous.

It may sound strange saying this on a basketball forum----but some things---like family and country---are even more important than basketball ! 

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

But after God--Family--Country--------comes IU Basketball!  :good:

 

What's the old saying from the creation story---many things were created the first 7 days and then rest-----and on the 8th day---God made IU basketball---and it was GOOD!   :yes:
