Is that why he hasn't been in the games?

I mean as in the final 30 seconds of scrub time that Gott lets the walkons play at the end of games

not condoning it at all, but i bet if you kicked everybody off the team who had driven under the influence at some point, we wouldn't have much of a team. and that probably goes for almost every team in the country.

1/10/2013 1:19:07 PM

ok that sounds like you're condoning it

1/10/2013 1:38:15 PM

^That's like saying anyone who doesn't think you should get your hand cut off for stealing bread is condoning stealing.

I see where he's coming from. I don't see that as condoning it, just a matter of disagreeing on what the severity of the punishment should be.

1/10/2013 1:43:24 PM

Maybe you don't know what "condone" means. It means to approve of it. I don't approve of it. I was just stating what I'm pretty sure is a fact. That doesn't mean I condone it.

1/10/2013 1:44:25 PM

Approve, allow, whatever.

"Everybody's doing it so we can't just punish the one guy that got caught."



Maybe kicking him off the team is harsh. But it's not like benching him or limiting his minutes is any kind of real punishment. The stupidity of doing it on NYE makes it even worse to me.

Brian Keeter does not approve

1/10/2013 1:49:15 PM

its too bad Tarheel Smitty didn't pull him over or we never would've even heard about it

1/10/2013 1:51:08 PM

We don't even know what he blew. Being under 21, he could get a DWI after having one beer, right?

1/10/2013 1:57:59 PM

Ahhh, that explains why he didn't get any scrub time last night. It's a shame. I love having Staats Battle and Chase Cannon on the court together .... ultimate action-hero lineup

1/10/2013 2:06:12 PM

^^ true, you're right.

1/10/2013 2:29:17 PM

You're never gonna be on the Wheaties box now Staats.

You are only allowed to pull this shit after MULTIPLE championships, ie Kobe and Rothlesburger raping ppl

good lord. like our depth could afford to take another hit jesus.



I'm sure he was out at one of those Broughton bars at Cameron Village or Five Points. Or Crowleys.

This was dumb, but not as dumb as letting a drunk girl behind the wheel. He prob picked up some 17-18 year old girl he hadn't banged yet and thought fuck it, it's worth the chance. Well it wasn't. Not on NYE dummy.




Edit: It says he was on Glenwood. Something doesn't add up here. Broughton people don't venture out of their spots ever. Even wannabe Broughton guys don't end up on Glenwood. I wonder if he was doing a grab.

Agreed, zero chance we finish with a winning record without Battle available to anchor our starting rotation

They edited the article. Either way, that National Championship is seriously tainted.

But in other news, Staats Battle trading cards just went up in value!

2/10/2013 9:26:32 PM

Hey face, you got a prediction on how good his chances are of winning the coolest name contest again?
