Smith fined $290 for his roll April 15th

According to The Cup over on GWG,Scott Nulph will have a article in tomorrows paper on what went down with "the fight". Sounds like it was over a stolen laptop.
 
The article is out. Sounds like Washington needs to be sent packing in my opinion. He had time to cool off and continued to press the issue. 2nd chance? UW was his 2nd chance.

Meh. I would not send Washington packing. There is more to it than what is in the papers. Lets just say Washington was not the antagonizer during this whole situation.

Let me make sure I understand...Washington shows up twice to Thaxton's house, and yet he is not the instigator?

Not if he was trying to get his stolen laptop back. I'm not saying I have all the facts, and even if this is true, he should have gotten the police to get the laptop back. Like Wyolie says, unless you have all the facts, be careful of your judgements. I'll let Coach Shyatt make this decision.

The police report indicates Thaxton was the one who had a laptop stolen and had named Washington and Smith as possible suspects.

You guys aren't really hearing what I'm saying. I'm not saying what Washington did was immoral or even wrong. I don't know all the facts and Washington may have had a perfectly valid reason for doing what he did. However, Washington isn't just your typical college basketball player. The dude has made some poor decisions in the past. I would assume he would have a much shorter rope coming to UW as his 2nd chance.

I see it very much akin to someone who is on probation. The reality of such a situation is that you have to alter your behavior, even in situations where you may be right. The same action for someone not on probation vs. somebody who is will have vastly different consequences. That is what Washington hasn't seemed to grasp.
 
I really don't think he will be sent packing. If he was gone then he would already be gone. Wasn't it reported that he is still in Laramie enrolled in summer school? If they wanted him gone he would be already so they didn't have to pay for summer school.

So it's all here say, He said She said BS Washington accused the other guy of breaking into his place and the other guy accused Washington of stealing a laptop. I'm sure anyone on these forums that was pissed off about being accused of doing something or better yet having your place broken into would be just as pissed off and would likely have done the same shit at that age.

Sounds to me like personal vendetta against each other that got a little carried away. This type of shit happens every day at colleges around the nation and gets covered up and if it wasn't Wyoming you never would have known about it.

While I do agree that Washington is on thin ice and seriously needs to alter his attitude this is nothing big no one really knows the real situation I could see Washington getting up to 3-4 games suspension for violating team rules but not likely much more.
 
So was he breaking into Washington's place to get his computer back? Where is this computer? I wonder what happened when the team showed up?.......threats? SO many questions...why dont we have answers? :tickedoff:

Cuz in reality ITS NONE OF OUR BUSINESS. Let the coaches and administrators figure this out. I trust Shyatt to do the right thing.
 
So he did steal it? If he did....send him packing. If all he did was punch a guy...then its whatever. Noticed he was going to change his twitter as well. Don't blame him either way but.........................NONE OF OUR BUSINESS? Isnt that why we are here? :twocents:

He was accused of stealing it, and I know for one if I was accused of stealing anything, I'd be pretty pissed too. Enough to go clock the guy that accused me? Quite possibly.

If he did steal it,don't you think he would be charged with theft?
 
There would have to be proof of it to be charged...etc......not knocking the guy but the report on what happened seems very vague.
