And this isn't the first time I've heard of a little trouble this year, this month for that matter. One player for fighting, another felony fighting and a weapons charge combined with these 5 makes 7. Geez, what's the count up to in Arkansas? 5 there, but different charges for most of them? EDSBS has had their Fulmer Cup running for a few years. By my count, this should put UF up there, close to the lead, if not leading. Five UF football players were involved in a confrontation at a weekend party, according to a Gainesville Police Department report. The players, identified on the scene as scholarship football athletes by a UF student, were involved in a robbery at a party at Cabana Beach Apartments on Saturday. The players have not been named by police, and UF coach Urban Meyer has yet to confirm that they are football players, the report states. On Saturday, a UF student was taking kegs out of his truck when the men approached him. One 6-foot-4, 280-pound man attempted to steal his keg, cutting his neck in the process, according to the report. The cut was 5 to 6 inches long, the report states, and it appeared to be the result of a fingernail or ring. The other four players on the scene restrained the attacker, who then broke away and assaulted the student again, slamming him into his truck, according to the report. After the second attack, the players forced the attacker into a red Ford Taurus and began to leave the scene, the report states. While the car was still moving, the attacker again tried to run at the victim, but was stopped by his teammates, who likely prevented a third attack, according to the report. Several more players were at the party, but were not involved in the incident, the report states. The incident is the third this month involving a UF football player. Earlier, linebacker Dustin Doe was charged with fighting in public. Offensive lineman Ronnie Wilson received felony charges of aggravated assault and the use, display or concealment of a weapon or firearm. Saturday's incident is not the first involving UF players and kegs. Two years ago, linebacker Taurean Charles was dismissed from the team following another keg-related incident. He was charged after throwing a keg at a UF student Alligator Sports Online

I brought this up not to bring attn. to LSU's position, but Florida's. Do you guys remember how much we heard two years ago about the discpline factor with Meyer? It was *news* in the SEC forums that off-season weekly. I haven't had the time to look at it in more depth this morning, but I am curious how many at UF were Zook's recruits, and how many at Illinios were as well. The kid kicked off two years ago for throwing a keg...pales in comparison to this story.
Now let's see how they handle their criminals. We had a few bad eggs and they got tossed, teams like FSU, Tennessee and Arky are like a criminal retirement home.
Remember last year when Florida's DL bounced around a while - suspended for easy games, came back for hard ones - until he was finally kicked off the team late in the year...I assume because his backup was finally ready. :angryfire
