Longhorn Players May Be in Some Trouble With John Q. Law

You've just won the Big XII Championship and a chance to play in the biggest game of your lives: What are you gonna do now? Go to Disney World? Nah, how about go to annual football banquet, head from there down to 6th street to be revered by drunks, have people buy you drinks and get your party on? Still not good enough? OK, you can (allegedly) assault some folks and demand money, as well. We got a deal?

Polic are investigating an incident involving Ramonce Taylor and Cedric Griffin and the role the two played in an incident that occurred December 9th. But from what we have read/heard, it just sounds like a lawyer and some punk 'victims' trying to cause problems and get paid. (Or so we hope.) Apparently much of the investigation is in determing whether what the players said to the folks they encountered on the street at 3am was "threatening." The UT Athletic Department has thus far chosen not to take action against the players. We hope it all blows over before January 4th so the guys can focus on football. But come on, fellas, remember what mama always said, "Ain't nothin to do after midnight except get in trouble."
