Barrett Matthews opts not to share Parmesan, four Longhorns arrested

by Vasherized on May 7, 2025 6:55 PM CDT in Texas Longhorns and Other Football

Hannibal Lecter is not impressed with these charges.

Who knows what actually happened last night at Roppollo's Pizzeria at 1:30 a.m., but it was enough for four Longhorns to get slapped with a Class C Misdemeanor "failure to obey a lawful order" charge.

In other words, they refused to GTFO.

Rumors range from Kenny Vaccaro insisting on tossing the dough for his own pizza to Barrett Matthews hoarding what was rightfully Alex Okafor's parmesan cheese. Eryon Barnett was also there, even though he has officially transferred. Is he working for the Aggies? Critical questions abound. It's also likely some of 6th Street's finest asshole Robocop's were involved.

Not much good happens at 6th Street on a Sunday night at 1:30 a.m., so this was preventable simply by NOT GOING TO FUCKING 6TH STREET. And this is something Benny Wiley and Mack Brown can remedy quickly without the need for suspensions.

But it's also unfortunate press for two potential first round draft picks in Vaccaro and Okafor, who Todd McShay will mysteriously downgrade after they blow up at the combine and Kiper has them in the Top 10.

When I first read Kenny V was arrested on 6th St, I figured somebody got killed, so this is a relative win.

true. true.

“I figured somebody got killed…”

I was thinking the same thing. Could have been a hell of a lot worse given his mean steak.

Yup.

There are about 10 million missing details

that could swing this from poor decision making to utter stupidity and virtually none of them would make this a big deal in my mind.
It’s a shame that maybe our 2 best players were involved but it reeks of power confrontation between entitled athletes and bully cops.

As somebody on another thread pointed out

It doesn’t matter whether this was bully cops, robocobs or Barney Fife without even his one permitted bullet . . .

Police say go, you go. After telling them, yes sir. Mack has to discipline that, at the least.

No, it isn't.

You’re assuming that they were actually given a chance to go.

I once saw a 6th street cop make a diving tackle of a guy who shoved his buddy in a normal “two guys giving each other shit” way. The guy ended up leaving some of his face on the concrete. Some of these guys are the assholes who have been bullying people to compensate for their inability to read all of their lives.

by BurntOrangeJuice on May 7, 2025 9:15 PM CDT up reply actions

If the guys have paid for their pizza...

why the hell should they leave?!?!

by Hippie Killer on May 8, 2025 12:39 PM CDT up reply actions

sure

but star players blowing off bully cops isn’t a big deal to me. Assuming that were the case, I would consider it a foolish choice but it wouldn’t make me think less of them.

by Nickel Rover on May 7, 2025 7:13 PM CDT up reply actions

I'm giving Okafor all of the benefit of the doubt

all of it.

It is EXACTLY that simple.

Think otherwise, then tell it to Mack. I don’t expect him to be too accommodating. A policeman tells you to leave….. then leave! If your parents didn’t teach you that lesson, then that is a real shame.

We are gangsta

Now finally we’ll get some national respect.

Alex Okafor being involved in any way tells me that this was a whole bunch of nothing.

by Scipio Tex on May 7, 2025 7:27 PM CDT reply actions

or possibly

the others were making a lot of commotion and Okafor was just there.

I'm willing to bet that these charges get dropped. 80% chance.

At least against Vaccaro, Matthews, and Okafor. Just a hunch.

Hey now...

E-Z duz it there fellow.

Agreed

Barnett should spend at least five years in jail for this transgression.

Hey it's not like our dual threat QB got run down by the cops like Notre Dame's did

or the million other incredibly stupid things that cfb players have done this offseason.

I don’t doubt that Alex O is hard at work on an apology letter right now

by pleaseplaykindle on May 7, 2025 7:59 PM CDT reply actions

Run down as in run over by a squad car, or as in caught on foot?

Neither of those bodes particularly well for the duality of his threat for the upcoming season.

Trent said Rees was among about five people who jumped a backyard fence and ran after officers arrived at the party, located at 716 N. Notre Dame Ave.

Trent said when the officer, Brandon Stec, caught up with Rees, the 19-year-old raised his knee into the officer and they both fell in a scuffle, leaving Stec with a bloody right arm when he hit the pavement.

Rees continued “thrashing around and resisting,” according to Trent, at which point Rees was subdued with pepper spray and placed in handcuffs. Trent said Rees continued to resist and pull away from officers.

Trent said that Calabrese tried to intervene by explaining who Rees was. When Calabrese realized it was to no avail, the linebacker threatened an officer, saying, “My people are going to get you,” according to Trent.

His threat is far from dual.

My only regret in life is that I don’t know what started that BC meme, as it was well established before I discovered BC. It’s awesome, though, and I’d be somewhat indebted to the person who could point me to the post that started it.

Thanks, Sailor

I knew the story on Sergio’s vehicular apartmentslaughter, but I didn’t know where the bitches must be kicked thing started. I thougth maybe it was a Brickhorn post I had never read. I see it was just a hilarious comment that went viral in the BC community. Now looking up the backstory on Robert Joseph.
