"Stirrups faces six felony charges: two counts of burglary of a conveyance, two counts of third-degree grand theft, one count of dealing in stolen property and one for giving false information to a pawnbroker." - GREG AUMAN, Times staff writer Where's the other stuff? Surely this can't be all he's done for all the righteous indignation that you guys have been spouting about this .... nope, that's it. he's on probation and under careful watch I'm sure while he's enrolled at pearl river CC.

Does that mean every coach's judgement should be questioned? You have condemned Stirrups.You have condemned the American Judicial System and the opinion of every Judge.You apparently also condemn at least Coach Hatten and Coach Leavitt. You probably condemn parole officers as well.You condemn me.Is there anyone else you'd like to throw in there? Anyone else you want to feel superior in judgement to?

"March 24, 2005 Last night, CNN's Anderson Cooper played a chilling police audio tape of a 1991 confession made by the accused killer of 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford. On the tape, John E. Couey is heard admitting to molesting a young girl in her own backyard. For the crime he was subsequently charged, convicted and imprisoned for 2 years.""Florida Courts do not provide probation workers with criminal backgrounds of their probationers, even in the case of registered sexual offenders like Couey."" Couey has an extensive criminal record that includes 24 arrests for burglary, carrying a concealed weapon without a permit and indecent exposure. In 1991, he was arrested in Kissimmee on a charge of fondling a child under age 16. [11] During a house burglary in 1978, Couey was accused of grabbing a girl in her bedroom, placing his hand over her mouth and kissing her. Couey was sentenced to 10 years in prison but was paroled in 1980."Look at another brilliant judgement call by the men and women in black robes ."During a house burglary in 1978, he was accused of grabbing a girl in her bedroom, placing his hand over her mouth and kissing her, Dawsy said. Jessica was last seen in her bedroom, Dawsy has said. [highlight]Couey was sentenced to 10 years in prison but was paroled in 1980, a time when inmates were serving a small fraction of their sentences. " [/highlight] He was probably released because of overcrowding due to your type judges filling the prisons with guys put in for some petty bull**** like what Stirrups did who had a chance of doing something with their lives ....

He was infering that our maniacal friend may have been the one with the racist tendencies. Not everyone is familiar with the extensive works of that Carlos guy you said it came from.

Bullpride08 Posted January 19, 2007 Group: Member Topic Count: 38 Content Count: 4,016 Reputation: 0 Days Won: 0 Joined: 02/20/2002 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Good grief some of you guys condemning Stirrups have never even met the kid. I have, and he's a good kid, made a real stupid error and is paying a severe price for his mistake- as he should. However, don't go insinuating that he's in some class as a murderer or ******. His dad is a respected highway patrolman, and mother a hard worker too. They were severely disappointed and embarrassed by Leslie's mistake as was Leslie. He's making amends, and deserves a chance to make things right and get his life back in order.If he indeed stays straight as an arrow at Pearl River, makes the grades, is a model player and student with no mistakes, then he deserves another shot in 18 months or so. We shall see, but Leavitt won't be easy on him, that we all know, and he will take a hard look at everything before deciding whether he can come to USF or not. So, before the uninformed, and classless pass judgement you might want to sit back, zip your trap, and wait. There is to much time between now and when he could potentially enroll to worry about it, particularly since right now he is not a Bull. Worry about it, or complaining when the time is right, don't worry your little panties over it now when it isn't even an issue. Hell by that time another school might get him instead...look at Nate Harris for UL, he had an all-conference year and had a major criminal issue coming out of HS.

His mom and dad aren't the one's who are in line for a football scholarship. If Im not mistaken Ted Bundy's mom and dad were honest harworking people too.Let Stirrups and other like him get a job and pay for college or let him go play for another school.Rewarding burglars and thieves with college scholarships send the wrong message.
