I agree. The thug label is really inappropriate for one likely alcohol induced mistake. I hope that Dennard learns from this and is able to move on. I think back on the utter stupidity of some of the things I did at that age and how lucky I was not to get in more serious trouble, and realize that I'm in no place to haughtily condemn a young man who obviously made a very big mistake.
Oh, let's count the excuses:
1) must've been the alcohol (though he was not charged with being drunk);
2) must've been his upbringing and background that lends itself to trouble;
3) must've been some pipsqueek trying to make a name for himself picking on poor Alphonso;
4) must've been the Lincoln police, which are always after the most popular guys in the State; &
5) Must've been a girl, they are always manipilating guys for kicks.
And, since there's not been a previously reported incident, we're required to assume that this is the first issue with Alphonso. That it could happen to ANYBODY. I call BS. When is the last time YOU or anyone of your friends assaulted mutiple people and then hit a cop when one asked you to leave? It really doesn't happen to people other than thugs. I seriously doubt this is the first incident that AD has had in Lincoln, it's probably just the first time he hit a cop.
PS--I have no problem with having some thugs on the team, they are often good football players. It likely keeps them out of even more trouble.

Do you actually have any information to substantiate your doubts, or are you just speculating here?
Just speculating, as are all of the people that are assuming this is his first incident.
That's nice. Fortunately we have a head coach who strongly disagrees with you.
It's possible that some day, you'll post something I agree with. But I'm not holding my breath.
Hmmmmmm.......you certainly seem to be taking this a bit personally.
Do you indentify with the "pipsqueak", as you call him, that stirs up trouble, runs and hides behind the girls while throwing out condescending names to the guy that he thinks should be getting in a LOT more trouble, not understanding why everybody else doesn't want to pile on like you do? I guess it makes sense.
Pretty sad.

Pretty sad that excuses are made for criminal behavior, just because someone has a little athletic talent and plays for the right team.
PS--nothing personal about this to me.

Don't believe everything you read. If you think these guys are all a bunch of Rex Burkhead types, think again. The vast majority of these guys are really good kids, but when you gather over 100 young, aggressive men together...there will be some that don't believe in rules. Unfortunately, some of these will be among your best players, and coaches tend to look the other way for those (until they can't).
Today's obviously not going to be that day ...
Aside from his throwing punches in the bowl game, it is the first incident that has been in the public eye.
No need to read further....nobody has excused what he did.
Making a dumb decision doesn't mean you are dumb. It just means you made a dumb decision. That tends to happen at that stage in his life. No one on this board stopped making dumb decisions after their teenage years.
I'm still a fan of AD. Getting to see him as a husker and excellent citizen while spending his time in Lincoln will not be washed away because of one incident. What AD should have done was have friends around him that were smart enough to get him out of the situation when they saw that he wasn't able to make that decision himself due to whatever reason. 3 weeks ago in Omaha Niles Paul was at a club downtown and as I was conversing with him a couple guys (one half his size) was trying their hardest to get into a heated situation with Paul after their ladies realized who Niles was. Paul had about 4 or 5 friends whom were able to get Paul out of that atmosphere. AD has to realize that he can and will be a target sometimes due to his status or what he does.
