Ruby Arrested……

[DeerPark12]

Do college students commonly carry their passports with them these days? As opposed to a student ID card?

UT Student ID cards are digital now, so they’re not valid for identification in the real world, only on campus.

A lot of people carry their Passport in today’s climate of aggressive immigration enforcement.

Fox vs CNN - Do you consider both, one or neither to be a legitimate organization?

What does that have to do with the current situation?

"Whitehorn has been a three-year starter for the Tennessee Lady Vols basketball team"

chat, is this true?

Shows how slow the US Sports news is during the summer for them to be reporting on off-season collegiate WBB in the UK.

Well, you have to admit, the other trending women’s sport story is rather distasteful.

I'm just going to wait and see what happened for my own benefit. . . Prayers for All involved.

If I am reading correctly, how could the police not arrest the other party if she in fact took Ruby’s property and went into her residence? It SEEMS that is an agreed upon fact set.

Another world class better wait for a more complete fact set before putting one’s own rational thought processes and integrity on the line situation. Some have seriously put their’s on that line. Can’t put those bullets back in the gun either.

Handle it the right way, and it doesn’t make the news and put Tennessee in the spotlight. Simple rule as a player, don’t embarrass the University.

Fans too! Player’s record at UT is better. As exhibited by another public account featured in this thread.

The admin and police will do their due diligence to prove or disprove the allegations. Before the self-righteous get all up in arms about what should be done, keep in mind the young don't always make the decisions we think they should. Unless someone witnessed the event......

Arrested does not equal wrong or guilty. Let the facts play out before any of us rush to judgement.

I used to work with a sales manager who mediated a barroom contretemps with the following sage words. “There are two sides to every argument, and then… there’s the truth.”

As I don't yet know the details of either side, much less the truth, I will limit my thoughts to kind wishes for both the young ladies involved.

Nah. If this is a one-off event, it will be forgotten pretty quickly. College football is ramping up and this story will fall out of the news cycle very fast.

I would bet this case gets settled without going to court, where Ruby pleads to a lesser charge, does community service and takes an anger management course and probably gets suspended for a few early season games. Not ideal by any stretch but let's not make more of this situation than it really is.

You disagreed and then basically described what a black eye is. Normally a one off event and heals fairly quick.

You disagreed and then basically described what a black eye is. Normally a one off event and heals fairly quick.

As a figure of speech, saying that an institution gets a black eye from some controversial event, does not mean a passing, trivial event.

From the Collin's dictionary-- "Additionally, "black eye" can be used figuratively to represent a mark of shame, dishonor, or a damaging setback."

I stand by my assertion that this event will not be a mark of shame, dishonor, or a damaging setback to the Lady Vol program. If you don't understand the conventional meaning of the phrases you post, well, that is not my problem.
