FSU's Dalvin Cook charged with battery, indefinitely suspended

[CityLife]

Yeah, there's no difference in Gainesville. Nope.

Believe what you will but we don't have a prominent rape case that was obviously sabotaged through coordination between our university and the Gainesville Police Department.

Do you actually believe the crap you write or are you just a troll? UF didn't have a prominent rape case, because the girl that your starting QB last year allegedly raped was a UF athlete and dropped charges.

"Don't tell nobody bout nothing," Harris texted to his accuser's phone, according to the University Police Department report.

The woman responded with, "And don't try me ever again," and, "I wouldn't even come near me if I were yu."

Harris then got pulled over with weed in his car a few months later and was let off with no charges...

Guess what? Treon Harris is a former FSU commitment and Dalvin Cook is a former UF commitment. The schools both recruit the same guys. Only difference is, many FSU fans aren't delusional about the fact that not all of our players are saints....

It's really awesome when the rival schools tit-for-tat is at the level of "my team commits somewhat fewer horrible crimes than yours".

Funny how the JC Jackson armed robbery story has not been mentioned on this thread.

Because JC Jackson was booted off the team.

[MusicMan]

He's also mentioned as an occupant in the car Treon Harris was driving (without any license at all) when the UF police pulled them over and smelled weed and found two small bags in the glove box.


Reading the UF Campus Police report is hysterical, sounds like the car was in possession of the weed, not the occupants..................

A major difference between to the 2 schools is that the TPD, FSu admin, coaches and community completely circle the wagons and do everything within their power to keep players eligible and on the field ala the miscreant rapist Winston. Over the last decade FSu has been slapped w/ NCAA penalties for widespread academic cheating (probation + had to VACATE wins). Not to mention the ongoing Title IX investigation by the Feds. FSu = win at all cost..

As far as Dalvin Cook..Jimbo knew this cat was a bad apple even before he stepped on campus. Cook had prior arrests for robbery and also arrested and charged with firing a weapon and possession at a high school event..

Slide, thanks again for proving how delusional and erroneously sanctimonious Gator fans are. Dalvin Cook was committed to UF literally 3 days before he enrolled at FSU and your coaches and fans were devastated when he switched to FSU. So was it ok for UF to enroll him, but not FSU? Because UF was sure as heck about to let him in.

Also, look up the name Huntley Johnson. Maybe pour a nice glass of Kool-Aid while you read about how he and the DA in Gainesville get UF players out of legal issues all the time.

Maybe the problem is football - or college sports - and not any particular college.

Or maybe the problem is boys that don't have a father or other good role model to teach them how to be men.

Or maybe the problem is that there's a distorted sense of entitlement that has been a way of life since a lot of these kids were in their early teens.

Hey CityLife, who ended up signing him? FSu did. Unlike Jimbo, UF backed-off of Cook (out of caution) soon after discovering he had prior arrests. Next time do your research before employing moral equivalence. Everyone knows that FSu is 'a school that the football team can be proud of..' #1...Lord knows they don't go there for the academics lol

EPIC FAIL. UF did not back off Cook. Not even slightly. UF fans had a massive meltdown when he decommitted and switched to FSU.

What is great about your lie is that Cook didn't even have prior arrests in January of 2014 when he switched to FSU. He was given a citation in July 2014. Nice try though.

I think this is it. Stud players start getting recruited their freshmen and sophomore years. They get wined and dined by schools all over the country for a couple years while being recruited. This includes getting girls thrown at them. Then when they attend school they have tutors helping with their school work. They get tons of free food at the training table. They get massages and physical therapy. Basically, they are treated like kings. This naturally leads to a huge ego and sense of entitlement by some. Plus many of them have hangers on from where they grew that aren't great influences.

There are definitely some systemic issues with college football. Just look at the amount of arrests at LSU, Georgia, Tennessee, and other big football schools. You know its bad when things like the Fulmer Cup exist.

I think it's both. Maybe not "football" per se, but football programmes. And a lot of collegiate sports programmes in general. The stakes are too high - there's far too much money involved.

That's total BS and you know it. 'Fans' don't make the call as to whether to make or pull an offer, the coaches do.

It is the truth that Cook had prior arrests (plural) and also true that UF and FSu coaches both knew about the arrests. UF decided to pull his offer--Jimbo did not. Robbery charges and gun charges before he even got to college--read the article for yourself..

"According to records from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement obtained by the Sentinel, Cook was arrested as a juvenile and charged with robbery in 2009."

"Cook was also arrested and charged with firing a weapon and possessing a weapon at an event on school property in 2010, according to FDLE records."

Cook did have arrests before January of 2014, and if he wasn't a 1,000 yard rusher you wouldn't give 2 f*cks about defending his character.

According to records from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement obtained by the Sentinel, Cook was arrested as a juvenile and charged with robbery in 2009. Prosecutors later opted to drop the case. Cook was also arrested and charged with firing a weapon and possessing a weapon at an event on school property in 2010, according to FDLE records. The third-degree felony charge was later dropped or abandoned.

Someone beat me to it.
