but this news definitely sucks. Dang it Geno.
yes, hootie is a soph, but almost all his reps came on special teams and even then not in every game. Got a little bit of garbage time in blowouts, but wasn't in the meaningful rotation so his experience is thin.
hope he learns from this 2nd mistake. but i'd like to see someone else at his position during football season. no excuses for a 2nd dui
My old man got 3 and spent 12 months in county. Geno's lucky if he doesn't spent jail time, that better be his first worry. Secondly I'm not sure if he has a future here and rightfully so. I would have no problem seeing him booted since this is his 2nd time.
two DUIs in a year is nothing to scoff at...I wouldn't be surprised if he is sent packing. All DUIs are serious but the first one can at least be the teaching point. A second so shortly after the first is really just disappointing.
Why should we calm down? This ain't no joke. I can chalk up one to a mistake, but two shows he hasn't learned anything yet. What's next? #3 when he runs someone over and/or hits another car? IF he stays he should be subject to alcohol tests every week at the least plus counseling. I don't care how good he is or how bad he is, this is nothing to overlook because obviously he has a problem.
I'd like to think that I am being calm about it. A 2nd DUI in less than a year is the kind of thing that can have a player packing his bags.
I believe its a serious issue, but I honestly think We won't see him kicked off the team, but he'll be suspended for long time, possibility missing few games to prove point. I"m just saying, while it's a serious charge, We don't know what lead him to drinking... He may have had bad day... Coach did rip him a new butt... or what, but its' not an excuse to go out and drink, and he'll face consequences for him... WE just need to fall back and see what happens. So many of you are quick to dismiss without letting the process prevail.
My position is this: If the young man has had 2 dui's in under a year, then clearly there is something else going in his life needing to be addressed that is more important than football. Get Geno the help he needs (as Saban has done with others in the past) then evaluate what role football will play in his future. Sometimes it means the opportunity to work you way back at Alabama. Sometimes it means getting a fresh start elsewhere.
Why can't these guys just a) call someone for a ride, or b) walk. They can't be partying that far from where they live more than likely
Re: Gino Smith Arrested
First DUI unfortunate, second one unforgivable!! Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Yeah, I would think a judge would have a great sense of humor about a young man getting his second DUI.Second DUI?
