With all the real troubles from Missouri Tigers, like Beckham and all the other arrests, why don't they mention that Alfin Smith is a former Missouri Tiger?? If he had been a Nole you know that would have been mentioned.
Aldon Smith Kicked off Niners
- Thread starter NaplesNole88
- Start date
Guy has 3 alcohol related offenses, got stabbed at a house party where one of his other guests got shot, and allegedly said a no-no word in the airport.
Needs some help.
Needs some help.
Because he hasnt been in college in 4 years, and as far as I know he didnt have any issues at Missouri.
There has been much talk of a culture at FSU. Missouri's mountain makes FSU's problem look like a mole hill. Smith has had problems ever since he joined the league. Apparently that has no correlation to Missouri. If Smith had gone to FSU you can be sure it would have been brought up.
Aldon Smith didnt play in the SEC, so if that what this is about, it's off base.
There has been much talk when incidents happen when guys are in school. I dont think people hold schools accountable for guys down the road. How many times did you hear Rutgers brought up with regards to the Ray Rice incident? What about Oklahoma and Peterson? My guess, is you didnt hear it at all, and if you did it was more in passing. So why would Missouri be the focus when a former player gets in trouble?

It's not necessarily about the $EC, but Dorian Green-Beckham did, and so were their countless other arrests. The point is that's where they went to school, but no one is calling them out for their "culture" like has been painted about FSU. The $EC doesn't want that, regardless of whether Missouri was in the conference at the time, or not. And, yes that chatter matters as FSU has a player suspended indefinitely for a misdemeanor, for which it is very doubtful that he will be found guilty.
Because they and Georgia have led the SEC in arrests since 2012 with 16 each - http://www.komu.com/news/mizzou-georgia-top-list-of-sec-student-athlete-arrests/
Thats fine if you want to talk about that, but again, Smith was not even there in 2012, nor did he play in the SEC, so what does his situation have to do with Missouri, or the SEC since 2012?
And no one has called the SEC out about its culture? Yeah.

That does not pale in comparison to FSU especially when you consider that charges were never even brought.
You are also missing the fact that the issues being covered with FSU, are about guys who are/were playing for FSU at the time. If say, Kelvin Benjamin (or whoever) gets arrested 3 years from now, do you really think the focus is on going to be on FSU? No, it is going to be on the player, just like the story regarding Aldon Smith, who hasnt played for Missouri since 2010, is going to be on him, not Missouri.
If KB does what Smith did, yes FSU will be mentioned. But, guess what, FSU's guys haven't been in trouble in the NFL, hmmm...
A couple of questions. What should Missouri have done to prevent a guy from getting in trouble down the road? Kicked him off the team even though he had no incidents at Missouri? Suspended him for nothing? What should they have done? What should the SEC have done since you want to bring them into the conversation, and considering that Smith never even played in the SEC? What is the actual story here you are looking for?
Secondly, how long do you want to hold colleges responsible after guys leave school? Should Rutgers be scrutinized for Rice? OU for Peterson? What about USC for OJ? I am honestly asking for an answer, because I really dont understand your logic on this.
Lol, if it was a culture at FSU it wouldn't stop when they left campus. But, that's what has been said. As for what Missouri it other schools should do, I don't know. Maybe we should see if they have spent 40 days a year like FSU has.
You are honestly just wrong on this. Yes, if Winston has issues down the road, people might bring up his past at FSU, just like people have done with Hernandez at Florida. If 5 years from now, a former player who had no issues at FSU gets in trouble, then no, FSU is not going to be scrutinized for that. YOu are honestly trying to compare current college players arrests, to former college players arrests. It is not the same thing. A grown man worth millions who can't behave himself has nothing to do with what college he played for, absolutely nothing. Plus, you are way over inflating FSU's (like any college team) status when it comes to pro sports. NFL teams and NFL fan bases dont give a crap where a player played his college ball. I highly doubt 49er fans or their organization care that Aldon Smith played for Missouri 5 years ago. They care that he is a grown man who cant behave himself, which hurts the team, yet, you think the story should be about Missouri and the SEC (even though he never played in the SEC).
