[QUOTE="tharper, post: 1337117, member: 6891"] He might face another fine, but that's it. It's a class C misdemeanor, and he didn't even have to 'legally' be drunk. Any inkling of the chance he had been drinking is an arrestable offense in TX if you're a minor, and you're hit with a 'DUI'. That being said, a game at most. No sense in making it ridiculous. OU's Madu blew 0.19 on his DUI arrest and he got 1 game. Both deserve a butt whoopin' for putting themselves in those situations. That being said, I don't know if it'd be an NCAA issue if Dez gave his old teammates tickets to a football game or not. I think that's the only reason his name even came up. Them being friends and teammates before, I don't know what rules apply. This could have turned out worse, I hope he, and anyone else involved, learn a valuable life lesson from this. I'm not giving him a pass, but kids in that age range do stupid stuff. I know I did. [/QUOTE]
