Two Mississippi State football players were kicked off of the team and dismissed from the university Friday March 28.
Michael Brown and Quinton Wesley, two key players for the Bulldogs in 2007, were arrested Thursday for what school officials described as a “campus incident involving two hand guns”. Luckily, no one was injured and according to Dean of Students Mike White “there was no threat to other students.”
Police recovered the handguns and charged Brown with possession of a firearm and Wesley with aggravated assault, both felonies.
After doing a little research on the situation two things came to my mind. First, Brown is 6’ 3” tall and weighs 300 pounds. Wesley is 6’ 5” and weighs 315 pounds. Why in the world did they need guns? They’re huge! If I see an object coming at me that could easily be mistaken for a VW Beetle I’m not going to stick around and pick a fight with it- I’m running, run fast and running far. Apparently these two guys weren’t too confident with their stature and felt a little extra protection was necessary. Second thought that comes to mind, why jeopardize your scholarship and possible future by doing something so foolish? Ridiculous.
Mississippi State’s coach has refused to comment on the situation until further notice, a smart move in my opinion. The university should wait to take anymore necessary actions until they have all the facts.
