Dan Buckner finally shows some toughness

you’ve got to be kidding me.

He dropped the handcuffs and injured his thumb during the fingerprinting.

Ah the off season has officially begun now.

Un. fucking. believable

BTW — aren’t only good players supposed to do this shit?

I’m really beginning to question whether Tim Brewster laid a curse on our Tight Ends for getting Nolan. Which, if he did, is totally not fair, since Nolan sucks.

If DJ Monroe can go Eddie Sutton on the highway to match his .5 GPA and play in the title game then Buckner should be fine.

Do we care? What ever happened to Phillip Payne? Davis and White can’t get here quick enough.

At this rate I kind of hope Davis and White stay away until after the off season.

Bizarre. Criminal trespass in College Station? WTF was he trying to steal? Mike Sherman’s playbook for Mack? I get it. The ol’ swaparoo on Greg. Savvy coaching by MB, imo.

I believe he has a girlfriend that lives in College Station. I’m with Los on this one to some degree though. Dan’s problem is he doesn’t want to play the position he is best suited for and until that changes I don’t see us getting anything more from him than we did this year.

are we thug U?

Darius White just may have gotten his precious number 4 number

You know, there have been far too many of these things happening lately. I kind of hope Mack has some sort of team meeting to address this, as best as it can be addressed. In the last year we have had Kindle, Monroe, Collins, Davis, and now Buckner all doing stupid shit. I’m probably forgetting some folks, but that list is unacceptably long IMO.

Your team has an obvious drinking problem. We’re into the hard shit.

Yeah, and I’m not trying to be “anti-party.” I’m all for partying, especially while you’re in college. But the arrest shit, well, I’m against that.

If someone had told him that the property line is like a sideline, this would have never been an issue.

Actually, if a property line was like the sideline, the guy would be running at top speed to get there and cross it.

Having been arrested myself in the past, I don’t really look down to badly on these discretions, however, I have noticed an unusually higher rate than normal. McConaughey is Uncle Luthering these little fuckers.

aggy cops obviously recognized a UT football player and arrested him because of their jealousy of all things UT

I was looking at The Eagle’s website for details on this arrest, but then I realized that would have required one of their reporters to pick up a pen or pencil and go do some real work.

Once I realized the idiocy of that scenario, I went to TexAgs.com (why not? – it’s only one rung down the journalistic integrity food chain from The Eagle) and found these details:

Oh yes, it is just a kid making a bad choice… give me a break……

Because I was arrested all the time when I was his age… nope. He broke in somewhere trying to steal something and then resisted arrest when caught. Not a kid making a bad choice, a thug is a better and more accurate description.

I’m with you ded,

for the most part, these kids are getting busted for shit that we all did in college and some of us are still doing i.e. having a few and deciding to drive home. While a bad decision it does not IMO mean you are a bad person. Now the Brandon Collins thing, yeah I’m looking down at him for that. Holding up a drug dealer at gunpoint was not in my repertoire of college shenanigans.

BTW, I have no idea what Dan did so my last comment was in reference to Kindle, Houston, etc.

You need to endow an athletes only cab service.

Well everybody was on his junk as a recruit, just give him time crowd. Now he is being thown under the bus. Personally I have never thought he was the talent we need at reciever. Dump the flex position all together please

Well, as somebody who has had a few occasions to wear the bracelets, I can say that it appears Dan broke the cardinal rule of dealing with cops whenever you get caught: starting and ending every expression with the words “Sir”.

Why does it seem that the whole team dates chicks that don’t live in Austin?—Buckner, DJ, Colt..is there some kind of Pussy shortage in Austin?

fucking retard.

we’ve all done stupid shit and i’ve been lucky not to be arrested numerous times but don’t steal shit and fight with cops.

Lets wait for some details. Trespass might mean he was trying to steal shit, but it could just as easily mean he was trying to take a dump on Kyle field.

My roommate violently attacked a cop once.

We had taken our last final and went out on 6th Street to party with friends and females. The night got a little out of hand for my friend, as he was pouring down shots and beers regularly. I didn’t feel great and decided to be a driver for part of the group.

We were in 311 and as 2:15am hit, everyone began piling out. I was ahead of our friends in the crowd, trying to help a buddy from class get out the door as he could barely walk. He stumbled into a group of midgeted frat douches as we came out the door and they naturally reacted by trying to jump the incoherent guy, 6 on 1. I intervened and they calmed down as a crowd gathered and then one little bastard tried to grab me from behind as the cops showed up.

I have a bunch of friends hit the door at that point and I thought we were about to have a melee. The cops started separating people but my drunk roommate, apparently hallucinating, came flying out of the 311 doors like a streak and jumped onto a cop’s chest like a spider monkey. He shouted something in what must have been Sanskrit or Aramaic and the cop started spinning with my roommate clinging to him with four appendages above the waist.

“Get this guy off me!!! Get this guy off me!!! HELP!!!” The man’s arms were pinned by a mini-ogre’s bear hug.

The other 2 cops were busy sorting everything else out and didn’t seem to notice.

I eventually got my roommate’s attention and he jumped down from the cop. I started apologizing repeatedly to the cop and promising to get the guy home. I was certain the dipshit was going to jail, Buckner-style.

To this day we’re not real sure why the cop let him go. Maybe because I was clearly sober and apologetic, I don’t know. Also to this day, I wish those cops would have put a thorough nightstick beatdown on my roommate while the rest of us watched in fear and awe. It would have made for a better ending.

Anyway, … what happened?

How can any of you say this? You don’t know what it was like growing up in Allen.

And, see if he’s still got Brian Duncan’s cookies on him.

Killer, and Curtis Brown.

Bates, “Son, if you didn’t do anything wrong, why’d you take off running?” “Sir I was scared sir. I swear on my mama, sir.”

The cops started separating people but my drunk roommate, apparently hallucinating, came flying out of the 311 doors like a streak and jumped onto a cop’s chest like a spider monkey

That story reminds me of the scene in The Hangover where the chinaman jumps out of the trunk with the tire iron.

If he was stealing something he’d be charged with that, too.

I’ve heard of people getting in disturbances at say, a bar, management asks them to leave, they refuse, and then they get arrested for trespassing.

It doesn’t make it any better, but in that scenario at least it isn’t a premeditated thing.

Apparently he had a fight with his girlfriend, and he was the one who called the cops.

“Apparently he had a fight with his girlfriend, and he was the one who called the cops.”

My roommate got arrested for PI in that exact same situation, and his girlfriend was the drunk one. Cops can be such shitbags.

This situation just reeks. Aggy cops recognize DB’s name/face, can’t charge him with anything legit, so they pull out trespass/resisting arrest. Hopefully this is a non-issue. But maybe this jolts Greg Davis into the realization that he should never thrown the wr screen to a receiver that runs a 5 flat 40.

Bright side – one less marginal TE taking up a scholarship…

the cops can use criminal trespass for anything. its a catch all. i was arrested at a gas station three weeks ago for criminal trespass when i gave the girl at the counter a fifty and she gave me change for a twenty. when i refused to leave until she gave me my correct change, she called the cops and said that i was trespassing. once the cuffs are on, or you have been directed by a peace office to stop resisting, then they can pin that on easily. all anyone has to do to be charged with criminal trespass is not leave when asked. that being said, stay the hell out of college station. there are PLENTY of hot girls in austin.

It’s amazing to me that Buckner’s talent is so easily dismissed. He’s just a sophomore who didn’t benefit from a redshirt. Their’s a full on love affair with Malc on this site and that motherfucker can’t catch shit. Atleast Buckner holds on to the ball. I don’t think he’s nearly as slow as some others do on this site, he just isn’t tough and doesn’t break tackles. I’m not a fan of the guy, but sometimes people are just average. They might not be future HOF’ers, but they’re not Phillip Paynes either.

Mike, so you hold out for that long, get paid decently, then quibble over change from your ‘Black Magic’ magazine?

it was a hustler and a different Michael. i went back the next day and the manager said the register was forty and some change over. most expensive 12 pack of beer ever.

Killer, there’s no shortage of pussy in Austin, which is exactly why you keep your girlfirends in other cities.

For one, Buckner is not a Tight End. Do some of you even watch the games? Who really gives a shit what the staff is calling the guy? He is a slot WR, that’s it. He has the blocking skills of an open doorway. He has never put a hand down and he is not going to be doing that. Good grief. He’s as far from a TE as most of you.

In regard to dismissing his talent, I dismiss his play very easily. He has excellent hands when someone doesn’t want the ball more than him. He was embarrassed in an unforgivable manner against Nebraska. It was pathetic. He performed similarly against Bama. His act of limping after every catch in which he couldn’t find the sidelines is also played out.

CTJ,

Love the spider monkey imagery. Top shelf stuff there….

The girlfriend – on A&M’s Equestrian Team:

“For one, Buckner is not a Tight End. Do some of you even watch the games? Who really gives a shit what the staff is calling the guy? He is a slot WR, that’s it. He has the blocking skills of an open doorway. He has never put a hand down and he is not going to be doing that. Good grief. He’s as far from a TE as most of you.”

He frequenly plays in the Flex End position, which is a variation (and serves a similar matchup purpose) as a TE. It was also a joke.

Good grief is right. Lighten up. Or go torch another house in the Heights – whatever you need to take the edge off.

Hanging out with white chicks in College Station carries certain inherent risks.

This.

From my experience, the only thing it takes to get a criminal tresspass and PI is the phrase “Is that really necessary, Officer?”

I’m just glad we’re paying a full-time coach and “family” figure, Ken Rucker, to teach these young men how to behave in public. Imagine how bad it would be without his guiding hand.

What was he doing “behind enemy lines” anyhow? Jordan Shipley, we miss thee.

CTJ- agree 100%.
He is a slot reciever no matter what we put him as. Can we stop with recruiting lower tier-ed recruits for this flex position and just get the blue chips please?

CTJ, was your roomate Mike Adams?

Any word on Irby? Will he be back in the fall?

Who have we recruited at TE? If we are not all over top TEs while showing them pics of Finley and Thomas we are nuts.

Hello Davis, White, and Jones. Welcome to campus! Here’s your dorm room, and this guy here is your roommate, and here’s where you get your books and oh by the way you’re all starters. kthanxbai, call if you need anything!

Texas has not had many blue chip TE’s lately, but DJ Grant, Barret Matthews, Irby, Trey Graham, and Ian Harris are all apparently damn good players. When they all get healthy we may have a logjam there.

And by Texas I mean the state.

They’re not all going to get healthy. Irby is probably done with football, and Grant has had some additional surgeries. Harris will probably get a medical at some point as well.

Anybody know how much weight Grahamovitz has put on? We need a pleasant surprise out of him. Gotta think that Matthews will be ready to contribute more next year. I hadn’t heard that Grant had more work done, but you gotta think he’s put on some weight with his knee injury. He seems like the type that could turn that to good weight fast.

As for our WR class coming in. Best in the nation, and best ever at Texas.

Does our TE recruiting cordinator just sit on his ass and only recruit kids from Anderson or will he go to Washington to get that stud?

I don’t even think we’d pick ASJ up from Bergstrom.

I’ve heard absolutely nothing on that front for a while.

We need to figure what we want at the position. It’s beginning to look like our running back recruiting the last few years.

Here’s a start. Buckner is transferring per IT.

Offseason, thy name is Attrition.

Not as happy or as indifferent as others will be about this. Ship’s gone. Collins’ gone. Now Buckner. C’mon Brock Fitzhenry!

Malcolm-can’t catch
Goodwin-potential, but by no means proven
Kirkendoll!!-disgraceful
Chiles!!!-disgracefuler
Timmons-who the hell knows, although I’ve heard some good things

White-runs goofy as hell, I wonder about his route running and college readiness
Davis-king stud and might be our best wr by the end of next year
Jones-quiet shy types take time usually. He’ll be in awe, first of automobiles and cell phones, then of the speed and size of the players. I hope I’m way off.

Good luck GG.

Buckner is transferring. What a moron.

Remember when we were deciding whether to offer Jeff Fuller or Dan Buckner?

Ouch.

We needed some early enrollees at WR. Kirkendoll and Hales better live in the fucking weight room this spring and Malcolm Williams needs the Mike Leach tennis ball machine treatment.

Goodwin is good to go. Hopefully one or both of Mike Davis/Darius White will be ready as well. I’d bet on Davis. Dude just catches footballs, Crabtree style.

I hope we never make fun of any other school ever again for its recruitment of thugs. Good grief.

Mack’s statement. It sounds to me like Dan was told to GTFO.

“We’ve talked to Dan and his family about his recent situation and they’ve assured us that he doesn’t think he did anything wrong and they’re confident that it will be cleared up through the legal process,” Mack Brown said in a statement released Thursday afternoon.

“During our discussion with Dan and his family, we all decided that the best thing for him would be to transfer to another school and get a fresh start.

“We told them that we would release him of his scholarship and help him with the transition process in any way we can. We appreciate everything Dan has done for Texas and our football program and wish him the best in the future.”

Well, it’s not a bad thing really. Buckner doesn’t fit well anywhere for us. Davis is going to be awesome. I’m not giving up on Malcolm because he had a bad game. Goodwin looks really solid. I’m hopeful for White. I haven’t seen anything but stats on Jones, but dude is FAST.

ransom, being a fucking idiot doesn’t necessarily equate to being a thug. the just dude likes white chicks that ride horses and hates cops.

ACU, holla.

This probably has less to do with Buckner getting in trouble and more to do with toughening up the team. He had to be really soft and lethargic. Adios Daniel.

Bring on Adam James, YEAH!!!

Buckner is not bad ass enough to be a thug.

If it really was the coaches decision to send him packing, which I agree the circumstances and the press release to seem to indicate, its still really surprising. Sure he lacked toughness, top end speed, etc., but he’s big and has hands, played a lot of snaps this year, and had plenty of time to get better. If we needed room for schollies there are a lot of other players ahead of him on the expendable list.

Yet another soft offensive player. Thank you Greg

Well, I hope Dan gets his shit together, wherever he goes. He’s still a young guy and he needs to get this bad decision behind him. Best of luck to him.

until I hear a screwdriver was involved, and death threats exchanged, I plan to continue making fun of other schools for recruitment of thugs…

I’m not saying I’m happy about kids getting arrested, but there’s still a world of difference in how things get handled. The ones who’ve done things worse than most of the people posting on here are completely removed from the program.

And the ones who’ve done exactly the kinds of stupid things that a substantial percentage of us did in the bloom of our youth have been punished. I don’t think you’re going to find many programs who kick guys completely off the team for DUIs. If that’s important to you, perhaps you can look around until you find one who does and begin rooting for them in your inimitable style.

In the span of about 30 minutes ransom goes from criticizing a player for being a thug to criticizing a coach for recruiting the same player whom he now considers soft. Outstanding work.

Buckner has outstanding hands and made some great catches this past season, including his tough clutch catch for two points to pull the horns to within 3 of Bama at 24-21.

He is obviously not TE material but has excellent size and adequate speed to be a fine move the chains WR. Hate to lose him on such a mickey mouse charge.

Kennedy needs to answer for taking 5 recievers a year and having one at most produce. TE coach needs to go whomever he is. Please dont get me started on the OLine, a position that can be blamed on both recruiting and coaching.

And yet, we just played in a national championship game. So, things aren’t quite as bad as they seem everywhere.

True, things are not dire but if we want a repeat visit we should be proactive. I dont think anyone will argue that if we want a Bowden type run we need to make some adjustments. Im talking reeling off several Big 12’s in a row and constantly sending OU to the Holiday Bowl.

We needed that MNC so badly and this is why we need to bury OU and start winning conference crowns-Texas 3 OU6, fml:
(Do not read if you drink the echeese coolaid)
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3849468

Oh please. I read that article a year ago and laughed then. Notre Dame is borderline relevant at this point. That MNC wouldn’t have changed that writer’s opinion one bit.

I know for a fact that the girl Dan was dating is a crazy bitch (one of those white girls who like to pretend that they are black). Mack is just sick of the bad press and it’s unfortunate that Dan was the one he had to make a statement with.

uh-uuhhhh! No you DI-INT!

A white broad that acts black went to A&M and is on the equestrian team? Is her dream man Fred Whitfield, or to keep it UT, Tony Brackens? One more question, does she smoke Kool’s or Newports?

Mack should be tired of the bad press. Kids would give their nuts to play at Texas, if you’re not going to act right, fuck off. There are plenty of kids to line up and take your place.

We’re going to offer atleast three WR’s in this next recruiting cycle when previously it looked like just two. So come on lil Ship, Onyegbule, and Metoyer. Maybe even that kid that fucked up Dunbar when all eyes were on D. White.

HJ: So the two are mutually exclusive? Good grief…

We can still make fun of schools like OU for recruiting thugs. Because Stoops has recruited guys who have committed felonies BEFORE getting onto campus.

You’re ALWAYS going to have kids do stupid shit in your program. The important part is what you do AFTER they get in trouble. If this had been Meyer or Stoops, they’d have slapped Buckner on the wrist and that’d be the end of it. Mack, on the other hand, politely tells Buckner to GTFO because We’re Texas and we don’t tolerate that shit.

Honestly, I don’t see what else Mack can really do. Every time a player gets in legitimate trouble he drops the hammer. The other guys on the team have to know he’s not going to tolerate any horseshit, yet some of them are stupid enough to do it anyway. All you can really do is cut them from the herd and keep on going.

We don’t know that Buckner did much, if anything wrong. We do know that he did not rob or assault anybody. Why not wait until the situation has been thoroughly investigated or even litigated? Buckner may end up cleared of these charges. He easily could be getting screwed because he is a longhorn in College Station or because of a racial angle or because he was not polite to a cop.
 
Why should he be thown under the bus so fast?

Buckner was a knucklehead who very likely had peaked in terms of his talent.

C-ya!

CTJ makes shit up. Elaborate, but untrue shit.

Somehow, our “idiot” TE coach was able to put three different TE’s in the league. Whose fault is it that our TE’s have 2 good ACL’s between the 6 of them?

And we have TE’s on campus. They’re just slated to play RB and DE for us, for some reason.

“Remember when we were deciding whether to offer Jeff Fuller or Dan Buckner?”

Thanks for that kick to the balls..

It’s pretty obvious to me that the penalty for getting arrested now is that Mack takes away your scholarship and you have to earn it back. That’s why these families and the players “agree that it would be best to transfer to another school.” It’s either that or shell out bucks to ride the pine for a year.

ransom,

Your negative schtick has grown tiresome. You’re self parody at this point.

kafka,

There was obviously some stuff behind the scenes regarding Buckner, or Brown wouldn’t have been so quick to dismiss him. He’s not being thrown under the bus.

I thought I read that they needed eight episodes of “attrition” to make room for all the commitments. This apparently was an easy call for Mack.

The big take-home from this incident is that there actually somewhere in the universe exists a “crazy white girl who goes to Texas A&M and thinks she’s black and is also a champion equestrian rider” . That is basically the treatment for a 12-episode, half hour reality show on VH-1 which would be greenlit on the basis of that sentence alone and begin shooting by noon today.

As far as WRs in the pipeline, does anybody know anything about Timmons being a contributor? He got some snaps on special teams in the BCS game according to the box score.

That was excellent Pangloss. Haha.

I would assume that box score is wrong. He redshirted in 09.

Would someone please introduce John Chiles and Phillip Payne to a couple of crazy white barrel racers.

Buckner has announced he will transfer, according to the Statesman. Not sure if someone else already pointed this out or not.

Apparently Buckner has had women issues before and also not handled them well.

If Hicks and Jeffcoat commit we would need four more to transfer.

Apparently, A&M WR Jeff Fuller was arrested on Jan 2nd.

http://www.kbtx.com/home/headlines/81724682.html

Haha, that’s amazing. “Man, we should have offered Fuller instead! What? He was arrested too? Okay, who here HASN’T been arrested??”

I’m guessing aggy is feeling better about Fuller right now than we are about Buckner. Well at least from a production/potential/he’s still on their team standpoint.
Exactly how bad of a “nest shitter” do you have to be to have “Mama Bird Mack” throw you out?

Weird syncronicity.

Buckner is taken over Fuller.
Buckner is from Allen.
Fuller resides in BCS.
Buckner is arrested in BCS.
Fuller is arrested in Allen.

Buckner’s secretary is named Fuller and Fuller’s secretary is named Buckner

Finkle/Einhorn
Einhorn/Finkle

Dat’s what he be gettin fo datin’ those snow bunnies anyway (snap fingers).

They share the same favorite architect: Buckminster Fuller.

I predict they will one day live together in a geodesic dome.

Mike Davis will be better than Buckner the day he sets foot on campus. So will Darius. So will Chris. So will……

This has been awesome. A Lincoln-Kennedy assassination reference (good work Killer) into Ace Ventura, into bizarre racist, into a Buckminster Fuller/geodesic dome refernce. Other than the racist idiot, who I’d accuse of having migrated here from a lesser board but for the use of parentheticals, this is exactly why I love this board.

He should have been arrested in Travis County. The jail’s full there.

Buckner and girlfriend, Julianne Pipoly, are still dating according to his facebook and twitter accounts. He is now at Arizona, and she is transferring to Stanford. Still together, but starting over in new places. Sounds like there will be more trouble in his future with her.
