OT: Rawls

Thomas Rawls who transferred from Michigan to CMU started the season on a tear. He entered Saturday 14th in the nation with 278 rushing yards and led the nation in rushing attempts.

Then, he was suspended for the Syracuse game without explanation. Today the explanation-

Another athlete wasting his talent by doing something stupid.

someone on this forum (hail I believe) was adamant about a year ago about how questionable Rawls' character was. Went as far as saying he wanted him off the team too. I believe the person said they had first hand dealings with Rawls and that he did something that never made it to the public that he would have kicked him off the team for on the spot.

if you read the police report it says that the video evidence shows that Rawls sat on the purse, then moved it to the other guy. The other guy Rawls was with carried the purse out of the casino. Also, it says that Rawls got gas but the didn't pay for it, the other guy did. Sounds to me that at the very least Rawls knew what was going on even though they may not be able to pin it on him.  

bummer for rawls. I hope he gets his life on the right track.

by the way, this happened by in April. why was Rawls even playing?

I'd heard he was bad news at Mich as well. Too many high character people to worry about, no sympathy or concern for Rawls.

I would guess that was 'Hail saying that last year. He has some ties to current football players on the team.

I think it was Hail and people were giving him a ton of shit about it as well.
