This one sounds pretty bad.
Highlights:
University of Minnesota police cited a Gopher linebacker for underage drinking after they broke up a brawl involving several University of Minnesota football players and residents of a house in Dinkytown Sunday morning, according to a police report.
University police officers passing by in an unmarked car saw Gopher linebacker Gary Tinsley “swinging around a wood board during the fight,” according to the police report.
Tinsley ran from the scene “extremely fast” when a uniformed University police officer arrived. The officer fired several rounds of PepperBall chemical irritant at Tinsley, who was undeterred by the measure and escaped by cutting between houses on the block, according to a University police report.
Police returned to the house several times during the evening for calls of similar types of incidents. Other scuffles erupted in Dinkytown throughout the evening, including a tussle in which police fired numerous PepperBalls into a crowd near the McDonald’s at the corner of 15th Street and 4th Street Southeast, according to a University Police report.

Sounds like a crazy night, but how tough do you sound saying you brawled in a place called Dinkytown?

Hopefully he is suspended
if Pepperball Chemical Irritant does not deter him, our line certainly will not.

Don't see "Pride" or "Excellence" in there
But “Favre” is in there. Why?

Obviously this story is not true
Anyone who knows anything at all about Big Ten football knows that no player ever in the history of the conference can be described as running “extremely fast”.
This story is obviously about the players from an OMG esss eeee seeee team.

Boy, losing has made us a hell of a lot more snarky
I mean, it’s a given with Reading Rambler, but everyone else?
Hilarious.
I blame it on Iowa fans getting kinda douchey

Seriously
I mentioned that they lost to Penn State, in a post that was specifically making fun of Penn State and it got out of hand in about 60 seconds. Could you imagine if the game went the other way, and a bunch of us were still trolling for compliments on Wednesday afternoon?
Where’s the Beer and the Bar-b-Que?
Yeah, I'll gradulate a team's fans when they beat my team
but i’ll never bow down and kiss the rings. jesus. A team you liked won a game, are you that insecure that you have to make sure nobody bad mouths them?

I'm still trying to dry off
after tailgating for 12 hours in the rain, then sitting through that shitfest in the sheeting rain for another 4. Right now I’m just walking around babbling and punching random stuff.

and even I had that moment of doubt where I was ready to leave in the 4th. I was cold, frustrated, and very wet with a wife who was giving me the evil eye. It was tempting, very tempting.

It is a Euphemism
I often pester my wife to “take a trip to Dinkytown”.
My life is pretty sad.

Its the turrible version...
of the awesomeness that is downtown State College. Its also one of the key reasons I ran away screaming from the U of MN and back where I belonged in Happy Valley.
Crapville and Cardboard City, however, are quite tranquil.

Obviously Eric Decker was not involved
or he would have caught every single PepperBall before they could explode.
A basketful of win
I particularly enjoyed:
The officer fired several rounds of PepperBall chemical irritant at Tinsley,
It’s just great that PepperBall is a brand name. They have this lovely description in a search result:
Pepperball Technologies, Inc., a leader in less lethal technologies has a long history in selling to law enforcement, military, and private security, …
Man, what I wouldn’t give to be a leader in less lethal technologies.

How effed would you be if one of your buddies showed up at paintball and snuck in one of these babies?

The last time I played paintball
our group was filled out with these two guys and a 13yr old – all with their own very professional looking equipment. The two adult guys assimilated well, but that little doucheabag pretty much emptied the hopper into you then ran away laughing as fast as he could. I think I still have the welts 10 years later.
Yeah – I would have loved to have some Pepperball brand chemical irritant in my arsenal.

That was funny.....
I like the “running extremely fast”. Why was that in quotes? Wouldn’t that imply he was running slowly? Sounds like an episode of Reno 911.
Never mistake effort for achievement.

Pepperballs huh
Thank goodness they didn’t have those when I went to school. You can outrun the aerosol stuff, but pepperballs sound scary.
Whatever happened to the good old days when the cops would just walk down the street in a phalanx, a whampin’ and a whuppin’ everything that moved?
