KICKER’S DUI CONTINUES TERRIBLE 2009 FOR BALL STATE

Not a great 2009 for the boys in Muncie. After head coach Brady Hoke bolted after a 12-1 regular season to San Diego State, the year 2009 has been nothing but bumps and bruises for Ball State.The GMAC Bowl saw the Cardinals get drilled in a monsoon by Tulsa 45-13. Then star quarterback Nate Davis declared himself eligible for the NFL draft, forgoing his senior year.The offseason has lead to multiple run-ins with the law. A few weeks ago, free safety Dane Cook (not the crappy comedian), was arrested for public intoxication, and slapped with a potential felony charge for refusing to pay his taxi fare.Even the kicker is getting into the act. Last Saturday, placekicker Ian McGarvey was arrested on charges of minor consumption and driving under the influence. He has been suspended from the team indefinitely, according to athletic director Joe Hernandez.I’ve only been to Muncie once, but there’s got to be more interesting things to do in the offseason than getting charged with felonies and driving drunk.(The school newspaper could think of sixty...)
