There is little evidence it is accurate. This isn't something new that just came up that anyone should be blindsided by. These allegations were public more than year ago and it was investigated by the school, police and district attorney. Not to mention the kid that made the claim has filed multiple federal lawsuits against Franklin and Penn State that got thrown out by the Judge. You can also find multiple quotes from former teammates stating it isn't accurate and that the kid making the claims was nothing but trouble from the moment he got on campus.
I hope that's the case.

I really do. Especially for his sake. My daughter was the victim of a SA a few years ago. She still hasn't quite recovered from that. I'm finding myself more sensitive and aware of these cases.

Parsons could be a diva headache, we already have a few of those, one in particular who has a GIANT head to go along with the ache. So this would actually make sense for a perfect Jerry pick. Drops due to character concerns, immaturity issues, comes across as entitled, Jerry thinks he got a steal.

Wouldn’t surprise me at all, he’s made to be a Cowboy!

Do you think you'd still have the same zest for Zeke or would some of it end up directed at Parsons?

Part of the accusation included slapping another teammate in the face with his..........

That's not old-school hazing.

seems like it is. over the top and crazy but it seems like old school behavior.

I'm not concerned about hazing issues - we've all done stupid stuff in our life, especially in college. Anyone who's rushed, been hazed or has been the hazer (is that even a word??) - knows it's all in fun and people need to not be so thinned skinned.

Yep. Like all this defense needs is a slew of new corners.

It's the Winicki virus. Created in a lab in Buffalo. (Love ya, Mikey)

the only thing worse than taking a corner is...taking a corner and then listening to the jones family and all the dfw media talk about deion sanders for the next 6 months.

I think it’s crazy that some fans aren’t even interested in the impact he can make.

I think it’s more the fact that I am not sure he’s as likely to “hit” as say Surtain. The range of results from Parsons is much wider. Sure, big upside but frankly I think he more busy factor than others we have been linked to.

Really? That happened on your teams? Man....I grew up in the 80s, and we did a lot of crazy stuff that would be crapped on today, but we never did anything like that.

Yeah it is - heck we'd do all kinds of stupid stuff like that in High School..let alone college. No one was hurt by it and had much less of an impact than what kids do to each other on social media these days.

well the jv team traveled with the varsity team and after the stop to eat on the highway home...the varsity would get on the bus first and the catcher would stand in the aisle and grab JV players and hold his cup from the game over their face for as long as he could.

thankfully I was a good player and never got this treatment...that was just the beginning and that was in the early 90s

Let Zeke eat!!!!
The only thing zeke has been eating for the past year is a heaping plate of crow after putting up lackluster season only a few months after he tweeted “people need to put respect by my name” and “women lie, men lie but stats don’t lie”. He got one thing right, stats don’t lie and his sucked last year. I don’t recall him saying anything about needing a top 10 line in order to gain respect, do you?

Draft a linebacker in the mid rounds. Need to see if Jaylon is going to come thru. LVE, well he has neck issues.

unless the skin is hitting you in the face.

Some of us would take offense to that. And some like maybe Mr. Parsons are getting their jollies out of it.
Somehow, I bet he'll live from it.
