I see Gods Gift to FCS Football just resorted to paying 180K to D2 Ferris State to finally get a home game.

I used to always go to Jim up at Champion Auto Repair on 3rd Street N. Good guy, always got it fixed.

Women's fricking Soccer gets 14 scholarships? Are they f'kin joking? I know, Title IX, but my gosh. They have 14 FULL RIDES and completely suck. There are only 3-4 people that score on a soccer team, give full rides to 8-9 players who can actually do something. Softball has 8 Full Rides.

Completely unimportant side point: What was Beck doing at the Drunken Noodle at 2:45am by himself? Kind of strange to be running by himself after a night of drinking. Probably would have helped to have some buddies with to stick up for him or talk it down.

It seems to me that most people have now agreed that the charges should be dropped. The talk now has moved onto how anyone can justify it as self defense. He put himself in this situation by heading out the door and down the alley. Now it is just something to talk about because of all the videos and articles that have been released.

Agreed. Pretty accurate take.

The first part of the street surveilance where he takes off jogging away in handcuffs only to be caught, then later he is struggling with the cop to the point where 5 officers have to come secure him = not good.

There is so much interesting stuff in this video I don't even know where to begin. Man, does this look bad being he is an NDSU athlete. He even says himself he should be done playing football after two resisting arrest charges. Obviously, Bohl said something to him in the past for him to have that idea.

As their leader Tony always says: "standards of ethics are universal". Which is what his board is built on: ethics.

So Beck leaves a safe environment in which he could have stayed and instead agrees to fight the guy outside....that is "defending himself or self-defense"? Quote from Beck: "so I took it outside....".

I agree. I got PM'd and asked to fight also from one of their fans that poses on here as a fan of "both".

That video is classic. The drunkest guy in Fargo is trying to talk his way out of the resisting arrest charge. Really makes the NDSU athletic department look great. One of their own in the spotlight!

With the resisting arrest sticking, yes. Without, they will do absolutely nothing IMO.

Are you joking?

...and my guess is NDSU will then act like nothing happened. Not even the running from the cops and resisting arrest.

We will see how it plays out.

Like I said, this will be spun and twisted to the point where he was "defending" himself and everyone in Fargo will completely ignore the fact that its his third offense in as many years. His past history will somehow be ignored by Bohl, GT and the fanbase. Quick will turn him into the victim, somehow, some way. You cannot deny the resisting arrest part, but I am sure somehow that will go away soon also. It's becoming fairly predictable.

Dom Izzo ‏@DomIzzoWDAY 6m Defense attorney Bruce Quick tells me he believes there's "self-defense element" regarding Travis Beck and will be successfully defended Here we go. The best attorney in the state will spin, twist and mold the hell out of this to where Beck is playing next fall. Gene will then tell everyone that "he has been through enough" and will be suspended for 1 game. Book it.

Fair enough-makes sense. I wish UND would have tossed Watkins after he got his marijuana possession charges early on. They suspended him twice and should have booted him immediately. Sends a message when they finally do boot the player. Giving them multiple chances does nothing for anybody.

We are talking about "IF" he was defending himself. I say it doesn't matter, he put himself in that situation and its strike 3 for him. You say he has an out-card based on "self-defense" or "other guy threw first punch", etc.

I agree with that. If the story from the police report holds up, there is no choice for Bohl and Taylor.

Exactly what I thought you would say. Nothing about him putting himself in that position at 3am in the morning. Nothing about him resisting arrest for a second time. He should have pretty much been on double secret probation with Bohl after his run-ins so anything else would do him in, correct? Despite that, he still got into a fight outside a bar at 3am. Based on his past and the outcome of this in the media and how the other guy was in the hospital, I find it hard to believe you still think he should be on the team because "the other guy thew a punch first". If this was his first offense, by all means, let it play out and suspend him for a game. But this is strike 3 for him, no matter who "threw the first punch".

No I don't think it is. You would fit in great on BV. Most of your posts are critical of what UND is doing anyway.

High standards down in Fargo. The guy has been charged with Felony Assault, Resisting Arrest (TWICE), and Minor In Possession in his time in Fargo and you think he should still be on the team "if he didn't instigate it" this time. Even after beating a guy unconscious and putting him in the hospital. You can't make it up. "Strike Four and Your Out"
