August 18, 201511 yr Wonder if he had Participation trophies or if he had Earned trophies as a child? Ahh yes, because participation trophies are a clear path to substance abuse and criminal activity.
August 18, 201511 yr But they can make it the maximum fine and jail time for a first offense. Thanks, bro. What I posted had zero to do with maximum fines or jail time. I was just talking about the charges...period.
August 18, 201511 yr Oh, so he's been arrested for DUI previously? And you know about this how, exactly? Not that big of a deal. It will be amended by the prosecutor.
August 18, 201511 yr I kind of wish BGP would get the same number of passionate responses when someone does something good. Let's put a scarlett letter on him. What about all the middle and upper class young people who are addicted to heroin? Is Pike any worse than they? I don't know the young man and never would have heard of him had it not been for BGP but I'm not going to write him off. I wish him the best and hope he turns into a happy and productive citizen.
August 18, 201511 yr Escape 2nd Degree? So did he try to get away...or did he briefly? 'Ru...can you shed a little light on that one? Based on the fact that he was charged with resisting arrest it sounds like he probably tried to get aways after the arrest was initiated or after he was at the detention center. Dude is a mess. Lock him up for a while then get him treatment.
August 18, 201511 yr Author This may come across as harsh but I don't feel sorry for him at all. He was trouble from the start dating back to Bigh School where some issues were swept under the rug because of who he was. He still got in Serious trouble while in HS several times his senior year alone. He he was still given a golden opportunity not many kids get and that was a free ride to a top DI program. He still didn't get it. I believe a lot of it was sense of entitlement and I know for a fact that several of his HS teammates weren't fans of his. So he continues to get in trouble multiple times at Auburn and is dismissed from the team prior to his freshman season. He then gets another chance, and I'm calling this his 3rd chance when UL comes calling. He gets another full ride there only to continue to get in trouble until that coaching staff says enough is enough and out the door his behind gets kicked. Again he gets yet his, I don't know, 5th or 6th or 7th chance depending on how many things behind the scenes that no one knows about except the previous coaching staffs and he goes to his 3rd DI college in as many years and again can't even make it to the start of the season for his 2nd time in 3 teams. Do I hope he gets straightened out? Yes. Do I feel sorry for him? Not at all. I wont on lose any sleep over Zeke spending a long time behind bars. Stupid is as stupid does.
August 18, 201511 yr Read this one for a better description of the "incident " Murray State dismisses Pike following arrest - WPSD Local 6: Your news, weather, and sports authority
August 18, 201511 yr Prison is the only thing that's left...What a case of wasted youth... Football aside if he ever rights this ship called life. It will be tough to maintain decent employment with the convictions to come. Its so easy to second guess. But as a parent I have to wonder if sending him to Murray was the right idea to begin with. After the track record he had, I would want to keep him as close to me so I can keep watch.. He's got to be in his 20s, right?
August 18, 201511 yr He's got to be in his 20s, right? Valid point he probably is. I would of strongly discouraged it though still.
August 19, 201511 yr I kind of wish BGP would get the same number of passionate responses when someone does something good. Let's put a scarlett letter on him. What about all the middle and upper class young people who are addicted to heroin? Is Pike any worse than they? I don't know the young man and never would have heard of him had it not been for BGP but I'm not going to write him off. I wish him the best and hope he turns into a happy and productive citizen. So, now we are in the "well, he's not as bad as the heroin addict" mode. Glad you're not writing him off. I don't think most are saying that. Hauling him off? Absolutely.
