'08 MN WR Michael Floyd (Signed LOI to ND)

[TheChosen1]

So he had some interesting tweets last night

 

[arrowryan]

Literally none of those tweets have anything to do with ND. Not sure why he's bashing the school

 

[dad4aa]

Maybe one of you can post them so we know what you're referring to.

Still going....

 

[NorthDakota]

How drunk you think he was?

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

Jeez.

 

[IrishLion]

So, which opposing coaches saved those screen grabs for recruiting purposes?

 

[Te'o4Heisman]

Lol because Notre Dame did nothing for him or help him better his life.

 

[Luckylucci]

Wow, that's brutal. Good job Mike, keep it classy bro.

 

[mgriff]

Oh Mike. C'mon man. Seems like some drunken tweets. I'd say he regrets that when he makes up.

He'll almost certainly delete them. But what a Munson move right there!


I recognize your signature gif.

Saw them rehearse at a local high scool field just about a week back!

South Bend police have always been out of control, overly confrontational, anti-ND student, ANTI-ND athletes, and so on and so forth. You will not find anyone who went to ND with a good thing to say about them.

EDIT: was in town for Trevor Robinson's wedding, right? Really dumb of him to conflate SBPD and stuff that happens off campus with "ND"

Yup. Huge bummer!

 

[woolybug25]

Big Mike is a complete bonehead. Always has been and always will.

I think all of the above is pretty well known, but is it reasonable that Floyd layered it as a racial issue? Like do the cops target the black students/athletes specifically?

That's an honest question that I haven't heard much on, outside of "SB Police are Trash."

Based on nothing other than what sounds most likely, Mike was being a douche bag at a bar but nothing violent. Cops came and he was a smart ass, enough to get cuffed, then tried to jump on the recently popular tinder box topic that is black/white cops vs the other race. Thanks Mike.

I actually think this happens fairly often. Cops can sometimes just be dicks whether you're white, black, etc... I assume some black people would think it was a racial issue when often it's just a dickhead cop.

 

[OCIrish]

I've been drunk plenty of times when I was younger, and by drunk, I mean piss assed, walleyed, having a hard time differentiating the difference between the pisser & the trash can drunk, and having to deal with cops. Yes, I'm white, but never did they harrass me as long as I wasn't being a belligerent fucking idiot. It goes a long way to being courteous to others, even if it means you have to kiss a little ass just to not be causing any problems......I don't, nor will I ever understand people who think they can act and treat people a certain way just because of who you are, or the color of your skin, or you're a big time superstar

 

[TDHeysus]

to suggest that police treat white ppl the same as black ppl is naïve at best.

Completely agree. In college I ran into cops who were ads holes and cops that were awesome. Of course I never think it has anything to do with race since I'm white, but I can see how a black person could meet the assole and think it's cause I'm black. And sometimes it probably is, but sometimes a dick is just a dick.

 

[Irish Insanity]

I approve this message.

 

[arrowryan]

Floyd had multiple encounters with SBPD during his college years. If I was always trying to run away from them, I'd probably have bad things to say about them too.

Also, Brothers is very close to the bad parts of South Bend. So the police presence at Brothers on a Friday or Saturday night is heavy. They have to come in large numbers to prevent small things from getting our of hand.

 

[Graybeard52]

Calling his alma mater racist because it's located near a crappy, crime infested area of South Bend? I mean, maybe he did experience some prejudice on campus but this didn't happen there.

Maybe he just affiliates ND with South Bend. If that's the case, sorry Mike, they are not one and the same. Shoot, I never have any qualms about getting out of my car on campus but when I have to visit certain areas of SB, I am in and out.

 

[gkIrish]

Not a good look. Definitely will be used as neg recruiting.

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

Damn Mike, never expected this. He used to be one of my favs, this is kinda like getting kicked in the nuts.

 

[woolybug25]

Here's what I would say to Mike.

I don't believe that it's a coincidence that every time he experienced what he felt was institutional racism within the South Bend PD... He was drinking?

Sounds like Mike needs to look in the damn mirror. Even his tweet was clearly a drunken rant. His dui, his experience in a bar where he was kicked out, this tweet spree... They all have one thing in common... A drunk Michael Floyd.

Get your shit together, Big Mike.

This post doesn't contradict his assertions. It may actually back them.

ETA: Not about ND specifically, just about policing with college kids.
