Nothing a little Grey Goose can't fix ... er ... nevermind.

This is his 4th arrest during his time here. 2 are for prohibited weapons (switchblade, etc). A 3rd was in Feb of 2012 and the 4th is the DWI. So given his history, he should be gone.

Must've been hanging out with those rogue basketball players. If he had a father figure like Benford all would be ok. In all seriousness, this is inexcusable. We had

I would rather lose WITHOUT this guy than win WITH him.

But would Mac? You know he's the one on the hot seat this year.

Abbe is a good kid, probably not too bright when it comes to personal choices. He drinks some...like most college kids. The thing is, if you knew him personally, you'd laugh this off and move forward. He's not a mean guy beating up frat rats or offending women...very likeable.

Maybe not the PC answer you're looking for, but it is what it is. Mac will take care of this and he most likely won't ask us for our opinion of his process.

Yeah, some people aren't real slick and get caught at most everything they do, while others are slick as ice and never get caught doing anything even though they do stuff constantly. Let Mac decide where Abbe falls on the slickness scale.

It is very unfortunate that Richard Abbe has been arrested on such a serious offense as DWI along with the other offenses reported on this board. He was my son's roommate for one summer and his teammate for two seasons. My son liked him a lot and said he was a good person. He is a mountain of a man that is indeed a very likable guy. He was always polite and very respectful to my wife and me when we would talk to him. Hopefully Richard will learn from his mistakes. Coach Mac has a tough decision to make on his future with the team. I for one hope that he is allowed back on the Mean Green football team.

Nor should Mac ask any of us for an opinion on how this should be handled. What I am sure about is that Mac is none to happy about young Me. Abbe's choices in the recent past. It will get handled, one way or the other, and some will think it was handled properly and some will not. But, it will be handled to the "satisfaction" of the folks actually involved. Tough calls to make...am very happy i am not the one actually having to make the call about Abbe's football future at UNT.

Kids make dumb decisions. Sometimes they make 4 of them.

He is not beating up women or children. He is not robbing someone at knifepoint or gunpoint.he is not raping co-eds or dealing drugs.

He has done what I bet a majority on this board did in their youth. He just got caught.

Mac will decide whether or not he is too big a distraction to stay on the team. Hopefully Abbé (and some of our younger posters) can learn from this. The $40 cab ride is cheaper than the $6000 DWI EVERY time.

I hope his parents make him get a job to pay the legal expenses.

Agree 100% with you, Green59. I do, however, think the toughestpart of all this is what the legal ramifications might be with the DWI proceedings. It will all be determined soon enough. Hoping for the best for all concerned, and am VERY happy that young Mr. Abbe got through this with "only" the citation for DWI/DUI or whatever it is...and that no accident took place. For that we can all be very happy.

I think we should just wait and see rather than play judge and jury. I'm certainly not defending him because this definitely sux, but as far as I know he ran into one of his former arresting officers who "kinda" had it in for him, and he refused to blow (for whatever reason) even though he had only put down 3-4 beers. Of course I'm being optimistic with that thought but you never know. I am definitely curious about that unknown arrest though.

I can recall very few times being out at three in the morning after only three or four beers. All nighter study sessions and Camp Pendleton are the only exceptions that come to mind.

Maybe we should have an accountability coach who's sole job is to teach these kids how to make responsible choices.

If we have five off-field arrests in 2013 do we chalk it up to the accountability coach not having his players? Do you give them a five year deal? Could we afford to fire them?

I'd be done with him were it my call. Sure kids will be kids... But most kids are not given the luxury of a sweet scholarship deal while they're being "kids." The first one or two arrests (no matter what for) should have served as a slap in the face wake up call. If he wants to finish his degree let him take out a student loan. If he's deemed worthy of playing football let him walkon on the fall.

.....and for this I am truly grateful. But isn't this a very low bar-setting....not only for our college athletes, but our society in general?

He has done what I bet a majority on this board did in their youth. He just got caught.

as to the occasional over drinking part.....guilty.

Mac will decide whether or not he is too big a distraction to stay on the team. Hopefully Abbé (and some of our younger posters) can learn from this. The $40 cab ride is cheaper than the $6000 DWI EVERY time.

I hope his parents make him get a job to pay the legal expenses.

totally agree.....mainly because that is how I would have handled it with my son.

      North Texas lands 5 Commits to Wrap Up Last Recruiting Weekend

      The point is that we all were excited when he recruited and signed his classes including those 8 QB's just like we are all excited with what Morris and staff are doing at this time. The difference is that we can now look back and see how SL's classes turned out/developed. We don't have that ability yet with Morris' class, so you are not comparing on like information.

      Idea for new uniform design

      No TL;DR, why bother posting if one isn't going to read? A disturbing trend this user has seen first-hand over a decade now, yet in many cases, those saying or asking for such a thing either post a longer diatribe or spend longer on a site than the poster of the OP and/or don't ask for such a thing in a polite enough manner to warrant the OP to give such a thing. Anyways....how about riffing on the Seattle Seahawks NFL team whereby the 'Battle Flag' is not only used on both sides of the helmet, but the BACK of the helmet as well? Picture two 'flag-beaks', one on each side of the helmet, and then on the back two more....FACING each other (like the newer Seattle Seahawks helmets) to give off the illusion of a 'Mean Green Eagle' staring back at the camera/defender running behind a Mean Green player? If the images of a 'flag-beak' still come across as too 2-dimensional, that could be corrected by making the 'star' of the flag, the one that doubles as an 'eagle eye', appear as if it were 'rotated' 45-degrees, by shrinking the 'left' point of the star, lengthening the 'top' and 'bottom' points of the star, and widening the 'right' point of the star! Bleeding a brush stroke (or having the same stitch work as the 'left' shade of green as the hockey uniforms have) stretch ever so slightly across to the right into the territory of the other shade of green could help with the desired 3-D appearance, both as a finishing touch for flag waviness and as a pronounced eagle's beak! IMHO, THAT'D BE COOL!

      DRC: Breaking news -- UNT loses commit Dylan Brown-Turner

      Oh, his rating will go up a minimum of three points just by committing to FSU.

      DRC: Breaking news -- UNT loses commit Dylan Brown-Turner

      FSU has 2 freshmen safeties, 2 freshmen corners, and a transfer corner all committed for the 2023 class. Hopefully they're done in the DB department. Aside from their current commits, I think they're well aware of the SOC defense considering the recent state championships and recruiting one of the SOC LBs. If they haven't offered yet, I hope it indicates they're not after them.
