Longhorns legal legacy

[jhc68]

We worry a lot here about the state of our sport. Other sports don't seem to have the same level of concern. U. of Texas' starting cornerback was arrested last night for marijuana possession and carrying a loaded handgun... here's the reaction of UT's defensive coach:

"Defensive co-coordinator Gene Chizik said the team remains "very focused."

'One thing that's awesome about the University of Texas, you have opportunities to have great depth,' Chizik said."

Basically, there is no problem because we have other guys who can play and they haven't been arrested yet. Shameful...

The marijuana doesn't bother me at all, and I thought it was the law in Texas that you had to carry a loaded handgun . . .

Just like we think you folks in the Bay Area have to carry.... awww, never mind.

Marijuana IS still illegal, but I guess it is OK to only follow the laws you agree with, huh?

I follow the letter of the law on this one. I just do not agree with it.

And you might be surprised what I think of the laws, too.

bh, I think you are confusing that with the Texas law whereby you are required to have an open long neck in order to operate a motor vehicle.

Nope - two laws, same state.
