Oregon Linebacker arrested last night

[TripletDaddy]

Since it has been at least four or five days between arrests, someone apparently had to step up.

LB Kiko Alonso. DUI.

"If a player doesn’t live up to the standards we have for the football program, then they’re not going to be here,'' Kelly said Friday. "But I’m also not going to follow our kids around every Friday or Saturday night so I can see what happened to them.''

I guess Chip didn't get around to that players only meeting.

It was about time the defense stepped up.

Also I love knowing how scared you and the might USC are of little old Oregon. Your obsession on Oregon is bordering on waup's obsession on you.

Edit: Per eDuck posts, Kiko's Facebook is showing that he has been kicked off the team. So maybe the team meeting did happen and this kid is just an idiot.

This is definitely newsworthy at this point...as a standalone, not so much.

This all started in January with the Rob Beard assault (ironically, Beard was the victim in this case). That led to Matthew Simms being arrested for assault in retaliation for the Rob Beard beatdown. I never mentioned the Sims or the Beard thing because I assumed it was a standalone thing.

But since then, the Ducks have been in the news every week...Simms, Masoli, James, and now Alonso.

I didn't know that "faded" was a euphemism for "drunk." Learn something new every day.

To be fair Holland was a USC transfer, who got kicked off the team before the Rose Bowl.

I should start a bunch of threads about USC's 14 hour a day deposition last week. I notice nobody is commenting on that, I guess people don't care about 5th place teams just the guys on top.

Actually, please do. If you have any info, it would be interesting to read. I haven't been able to find anything that talks about the meetings themselves. Do you have some inside scoop?

As much scoop as you have had about the Oregon players off-field stories. Just most people here don't want to read speculative news links about USC, just about Oregon. Sorry! Just being honest.

Actually, I think most here don't care for either, but that will probably change with Utah's PAC10 invite.

Are you reveling in the fact that more people care about Oregon's arrests than SC's NCAA hearing? That is fine with me.

btw, I was wrong. Beard was not only a victim of a beatdown...he was arrested and cited....for punching a girl in the face. I guess he was beaten down as a result of punching the girl in the face. yikes!

1 face punch of a football player, 1 face punch of a girl, 1 strangulation of a girl, 1 face punch of a male non-football player, and stolen computers. That is a lot of speculation......

It was a players only meeting. Duh.

Jamere Holland is no longer a part of the Ducks program.

Good grief.

Seriously? Montell Jordan's This Is How We Do It?

This is strategic window dressing.

They are dismissing the sacrificial lambs to draw attention away from Masoli and James.

Why would you kick Embry off the team and not Masoli? They were both involved.

Also, why kick a player off the team for posting something on his facebook and not kick off the guy who strangled his girlfriend or punched a girl in the face?

I am not sure posting something on facebook merits expulsion from the team.

Most of these players will likely return to the team if Oregon does well enough this season.
