  Meyer will probably claim it's still an ongoing investigation and he has no reason to suspend him yet or some BS.

  I'll bet when they opened the door beer flowed out of the vehicle like that commercial. God I wish this could have been Tebow...but God wouldn't let this happen to Timmyrific would He?

  Ongoing investigation is always a neat tool for a coach. He can pull that trick and have him play this Saturday, but what does he do for the BCS game? If everything is settled in court before the game, does he bench him or play him? If the court stuff gets out of the way quickly he can go the route most coaches do during the offseason. JT even does it. Get a DUI in summer? You're in the doghouse the next several weeks and you run until you puke. Or they can try to postpone the court stuff until mid January and he can play in all games.

  Meyer already proven where his priorities lie, when he let Spikes in after that stunt he pulled. He should have been suspended for the rest of the season. Let's just hope they don't play dirty Saturday. But I won't hold my breathe.

  What Spikes did was bad, no doubt. But this is worse. He put his own and other peoples lives at risk. I mean I'll admit that I've driven drunk but it isn't smart at all.

  Or, maybe Tim Tebow makes better personal decisions so it isn't an issue?

  By "they" do you mean just Florida or both Florida and Bama?

  Bad decision overall but even worse timing of the incident.

  God obviously let you become an idiotic hater though. Tim Tebow wouldn't do this simply because he's not stupid enough to drink and drive (at least I would hope). Dunlap, on the other hand, is just an idiot thug Meyer recruited.
  
  As a Florida fan, I can say that I have no issues with recruiting all of these thugs, but when they act up, they need to be reprimanded. That being said, I think he should be suspended for the game.

  I was referring to Florida. Not saying that my players don't make any bad choices. But when Auburn was doing some pretty questionable actions Friday, my players didn't react back.

  Pansies.

  Its a misdemeanor 2nd degree, 1st offense. I'm pretty sure it will get pleaded down to reckless operation. Legally not a big deal. The car never moved but supposedly was in gear. He was sleeping, but so were most folks at 3:am. I doubt Meyer is going to spin this to say he may have narcolepsy or he is going to a doctor to be checked for ticks and lyme disease, or a Bama fan slipped a pill in his diet pepsi. I wonder what punishment players get for a DUI at other schools if it happens in the spring or summer ? Not that it matters, he was out that late, before bloody Tuesday practice of the biggest game of the year, that alone is enough for me to leave him home. Meyer will be pissed at the act of being out, being in the position to get in trouble, and letting his teammates down.
  
  I should note here the police report is not gospel. Gainesville cops arrested a baseball player a less than a year ago. Then he was completely exonerated when it was proven the cop lied.

  Officer Daniel Surrency wrote in his report that he "could smell alcohol on (Locke's) breath," that his speech was slurred and he used his SUV for balance.
  Still, Locke was exonerated when the legal system ran its course.
  "It was an absolute injustice that he was arrested," said his attorney, Huntley Johnson.
  The dashboard video from Surrency's squad car did not confirm the statements in his report.
  "There is no evidence," State Attorney Bill Cervone said in March. "On the videotape, the defendant does not appear to do anything, such as stumble or sway."
  Cervone dropped the charges and the team reinstated Locke.
  "It meant the world to me," he said. "Coming out here has really given me a spark, getting things going. It even helped me in the classroom, 'cause I got back in the groove of things I've been doing for the last four years."
  Surrency is the subject of an internal review because of comments he made during the traffic stop. On the dashboard video, he is overheard saying that the police department needed DUI arrests to justify having a grant renewed.
  "We do not have a grant involving any DUI investigators," police spokesman Keith Kameg said.
  The baseball team is keeping quiet about the reasons for removing Locke from the team in January before the legal process began. Neither O'Sullivan nor Athletic Director Jeremy Foley would explain.

  This just in: Meyer will sit out Dunlap for Tebo's pre-game prayer and laying on of hands. They don't mess around with discipline in The Swamp.

  It is just that Alabama is more into white collar crime these days. They'll take money and stuff before games, but not try to gauge someone's eyes out. Who would you rather have as a friend?

  yeah they get breaks on textbooks and stuff for people

  Dunlap is officially suspended indefinitely and is out for the SEC Championship.

  25th player under Urban Meyer to be arrested at the University of Florida.
• Quint

  

  Good for Urban Meyer! What get's in these players' heads? Personally, I wouldn't be looking to party a week before I play a game that will take me to the National Championship. . . but if I did. . . I sure as hell wouldn't be driving.

  Interesting note, do you happen to have the number of arrests under Tressel too?
