Tommy Rees and Carlo Calabrese arrested

Can someone give me a short rundown on what RESLIFE is? Do they hand out punishment or something like that?

They are prolly going to pwn his face as the kids say nowadays. Yes they'll hear the case and rule on his punishment, which could be expulsion from the University. They set a high standard, rightfully.

Office of Residence Life & Housing. The name is a little misleading; they aren't just in charge of the on-campus environment. Also in charge of student discipline.

Where I come from, when one of us F'ed up, besides paying the consequences, we'd also expect a good ribbing from everyone. You can't get caught in something like this and not expect to hear all kinds of jokes.

I am surprised at some of the comments from the haters, thats just sad.
Tommy and Carlo are good young men that F'ed up, just like a lot of young men do at one point or another.

Some of you haters need to rethink what you've said.......Carlo's got peeps to deal with ya.

I hope someone warned Tommy about fumbling or dropping things while he was in jail.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

One thing I like here is that we have a tendency to look at ND as having a higher moral standard. Apparently that's all talk.

Posters stating good riddance, police abuse, mocking the two guys in this incident, and general stupidity are showing that we are no better than the other schools (OSU, Miami, USC, FSU) or people (Kiffin, Urban) that they enjoy mocking.

True colors

Just one question: What planet are you from? What in God's name makes you think anything related to this site or any of the yahoos that pop off on here have anything to do with the University of Notre Dame? I mean really. Does anything related to posting on any forum really increase the poster's contact with the subject of the forum. I bet Brian Kelly is reading this thread right now, feverishly trying to get ideas on how to handle this situation . . .

Spoiler alert: The powers that be at the University of Notre Dame will sit down with the South Bend authorities and remind those authorities what kind of symbiotic relationship the university and the town have had, and what kind of problems this could cause. And then they will ask the South Bend officials how they would like some incredibly high powered attornies office with deep pockets and a bad attitude going through the case from start to finish. Hell, it could get as bad as a Justice Department investigation. If there was a hint of trumped up charges . . . . And then the university and the town will come to an agreement, meanwhile, back on campus, Tommy will be instructed to let it go, and he will be Res Life's for what they will. The End.

ND's Office of Residence Life & Housing handles student life and housing like the name says. How they apply here are they handle student disciplinary action.

ND students are bound by a Code of Conduct as spelled out in du lac: A Guide To Student Life. You can read about it here: du Lac: A Guide to Student Life // University of Notre Dame

ND Students are bound by its long arm 24/7, on campus or or.

For many years under Fr. Malloy's administration ResLife was considered draconian. Under Fr Jenkins' administration the focus seemed to be more on corrective action than punitive action.

At many schools like Alabama, FSU, etc the football coach decides what the consequences of Rees and Calabreses actions would be. At ND that's ResLife's turf. The football coach is not a part of it. A coach at ND can deal with a team member in addition to ResLife but NOT in lieu of ResLife. Some fans believe erroneously that Coach Kelly took charge of Floyd's DUI hearing, not so. Under du lac, ResLife can expell students, suspend students, and provide a variety of lesser "sentences".

Back in the 70's Browner and a group of football players got a year off from school for a parietal incident. Issues less than explusion can result in a suspension from all Student Activities. Stonebreaker got a year off in the 80's for driving on campus (actually moving a friend's car in the parking lot) while his license was suspended over a DUI. Powers-Neal got a DUI at home in Minnesota and ResLife suspended him from Student Activities as part of his discipline. He sat out the remainder of his senior football season. If he had been in the Chess Club, or Spanish Club he would have been out of those as well, as you get suspended from all activities to reflect on your situation. There can also be many hours of community "volunteer" work to help you reflect. Yeatman got suspension. Most take their medicine. Some leave rather than deal with it. A few aren't given a choice.

Many fans think Kelly got Floyd "off" on his DUI as he never missed a game. Wasn't so. Kelly suspended Floyd from Spring Football and when ResLife met FLoyd was suspended for the Spring Semester. Like Powers-Neal he served his suspension the semester of the incident. Thus the next semester having met the terms of ResLife he was OK to play. He also had to meet addtional milestones for Kelly but that was separate, again, NOT in lieu of ResLife.

Some of these posts are pathetic, like stating that most cops abuse their power and act as bullies ....

Where's Clausen?

Tell me officer as I recall you're from Denver. Have you responded to a call about a party and walked in demanding, "Where's Manning?"

I seriously doubt it but the South Bend Police raided a SB party wanting Clausen to be pointed out.

BTW, Clausen wasn't there. And there was no imformation that he had been there.


You've got much to learn about the SBPD.

By disclosure, I have two nephews who wear blue for a living, one's a captain the other a sargeant. I have friends who have been injured on the job. I'm personal friend's with a former ND football player who wears blue as does his sister, and brother-in-law, and whose father was a 30 year man. He's been injured on the job and shot an assilant saving his partner's life. I also have a cousin who turned in her badge in that same police force rather than lie for her partner who abused a suspect in custody. I hold all of them in high regard except for the beater.

Abuse of power happens in all profession, teachers, cops, the clergy, judges, cab drivers, whatever and that's not an indictment of all.

Many people in this thread asked for people to wait for the facts. Due process. It's a hallmark of our justice system. Sadly it was forgotten by too many on Thursday.

Res life is the place you go to when you get in pretty big trouble. Students will talk about how they got lucky not getting "Res-lifed". Usually to get kicked out of a dorm you have to have about 3 or so. Reslife is also the body that suspends you a semester if you're caught with pot, no exceptions.

Tommy can expect a hearing or two, but I have no idea what kind of punishment he'll get from them because I personally don't know anyone who has done something like this.

 

[Redbar]

Couldn't agree more. This is a bad situation which was obviously the result of a few bad decisions, some of which may have been worse than others. But we have seen individuals deal with such mistakes and become better men because of it, and we can only hope it will happen here. Shame on all of you who celebrate the downfall of an individual because of a football team.

It's funny that some of the same fans who extoll Notre Dame as a family and the university players athletes should go to have the greatest care given to themselves and their education, yet you turn your back in a nonosecond because they weren't the players you wanted on the field? Tommy (and seemingly to a lesser extent Carlo) made a huge, stupid mistake, one that he will have to deal with the repercussions of for a long time. He deserves to be punished and he will. He absolutely does not deserve fans celebrating his demise. It is insane to me how quickly and completely people can lose perspective.

This^^^.

That's certainly not good news.

 

[Redbar]

This is definitely bringing out the idiots in our fan base. What Tommy is accused of is terrible. No doubt. The fact that any of our fans could be remotely happy about this situation is a totally f'ed. I can't even wrap my head around it.

Reps.

Can we just get the legal drinking age reduced to 18 in this country to avoid these college incidents? Old enough to die for this country, old enough to drink.

 

[SBjandy7]

Couldn't figure out how to start a new thread, and not exactly sure it's worth a thread on its own, but I have been named to my first coaching staff as a high school football coach! I'm a slot receiver/tight end coach at Harrison High School in West Lafayette, IN! I figured I'd share that with the guys on this thread in case some one else is trying to break into the coaching field! Couldn't be more excited for football season to start over the summer!

No!
I respect every man and woman who fights for this country. Being a soldier and having the ability to get sh!t faced at 18 have nothing to do with each other.

 

[50milesSE ND]

I know some will get upset with this, and i don' t know if it's been said before so forgive me if it has. No matter who you are you got to find it a little humerous that of the four or five guys that ran from the party Tommy was the only ran down and caught. Thank God we have 3 dual threat qbs in the stable because we won't have to worry about this with them. I'm not a Tommy fan, but don't wish bad on anyone. However when you do stupid stuff as we all have you should get called out for it.

 

[Grahambo]

No!

Would really like to hear your reasons why you are against it.

 

[RallySonsOfND]

No!

I'm sorry, but if you are old enough to die for your country you should be old enough to have a drink. I believe though that 19 is the sweet spot. 19 keeps it out of high schools.

Ask any person over 21 when they binge drank more, and I'm sure most will say that they drank more dangerously when they were underage. (Exceptions to every rule though and I know that)

 

[dapeaker]

back on topic.... Reese is only being charged with 4 misdameanors. therefore his expulsion from ND is not so imminent afterall. however I would imagine that he sees some serious disciplinary action from both school and CBK.

I really hope he gets to, at the very minimum, finish his education and receive the ND degree.

 

[phork]

Some would argue that he fumbled away his opportunity. If it wasn't for the cabbie that intercepted his escape we wouldn't be talking about another loss

Joey Getherall is a cop and I guarantee he honors the badge (and runs down anyone this side of Usain Bolt). Want to say he was in LA or some rough spot in California. I helped run a Monsignor out of town after moving to a new parish. Big time power tripping (not in the traditional priestly way). Diocese didn't really want any of it and defended the guy, only running for cover under threat of bringing in the IRS (just playing the same musical parish routine that got them in trouble in the past). I have no tolerance for abuse of power on any level, fact is 99% of people are complacent even when it directly impacts them.

Officer Down Memorial Page (ODMP)

I ask that some of you take a look at this site and read some stories of officers that have been killed in the line of duty.

What does this have to do with the topic? Things that officers have encountered and that have led to their deaths have altered how police academies are taught throughout the country. The things we are taught are to prevent us from ending up on that site.

Is it an excuse? Absolutely not. All police should demonstrate professionalism at all times, regardless of age. Are there bad apples? Just as in any other job, no different for us. Do some abuse their power? Yes and they should be stripped of their badge and their powers.

From my friends who are police, the instructors who taught us at the academy that have been police for 20-30 plus years and have been in gun fights in some scary neighborhoods, guys that I work with..one of the most dangerous things a cop has to do is a routine traffic stop. Something you might think is simple or easy, is really a scary situation. You catch a guy speeding or running a light so you pull him over, next thing you know there is a gun sitting in the backseat, a shotgun in the passenger seat, etc.

This isn't me trying to back the SBPD. I just want some of you to take a few minutes and think about the other side of the line.

Yeah, you may just be kids having fun, being kids but think about a guy in his mid-30's who has never seen you or any of your friends before in his life. His experience and his training has shaped him coming into these situations. Doesn't mean he should stop being professional.

And the odds of encounting any of this at an off campus ND party might be less than zero (yes it is possible as illustrated somewhere in Einstein's Theory of Relativity, OMM can probably explain). Thus the ridiculousness of going ape sh!t on ND students. People here are not doubting the danger of police work, just pointing out that SBPD would club an ND student before a baby seal, no hesitation. The treat is like some type of therapy or job perk. "Yeah, I put up with a lot of crap but I get to harrass the p!ss out of those prick, yuppy, entitled, silver spoon ND students."

I don't know many cops who live much more than a middle class existence. They are not living in gated communities and McMansions. If you don't think there is some class envy running through there, well I have to disagree. What I see is the same thing illustrated in your posts, "damn it you better respect me because I have a badge!"

Go watch Super Troopers and relax a bit. Everything stated is not an assault on the honor of all police, firemen, military that ever lived.

I concur and I would hope we can all agree on at least this much.

We are losing our focus here people. There are two things that are important and we must create a team to investigate.
1) who was the neighbor that called the police
2) name of the taxi cab driver

LOL

Is it possible that this could a conspiracy against Tommy? This way he won't be the starter next year.
Frankly, I just want to see the conspiracy pictures...
