YOU CAN'T PARK YOUR HORSE HERE, MISTER

Mongo just pawn in game of life.

Awww, Mongo like sheriff.

This may be a trend in my home state. In 1995, one of Bob Huggins’s fine young men was arrested for allegedly punching a police horse — four times. And the link I found mentioning Art Long details another incident involving the same poor horse.

While this is odd, and it’s notable for involving a football player, this is not necessarily unique- first point of evidence, a UF female being arrested for the same offense about 3 months ago-

Now, whatever a man, and a woman, and another woman with a penis and a midget with a police horse do on their own time is none of my business, but I’m just saying you’ve got to be fairly inebriated to look at a horse and say “Dammit, horse, you’ve messed with the wrong guy tonight!”

Anyone ever been to Athens? There are Cops on Horses everywhere. Im guessing he was just practicing the option pitch and accidently hit the horse. Blood Alcohol level higher or lower than OU’s all time winning %?

Steve – OUCH. Nice thought. I’d say at least the bowl record is lower than the BAC.

I think Logan was actually charged with “assault on a police horse”, which is way better than persistent disorderly conduct.

Rumor is the whole thing is blown out of proportion… we should hope. I’d like to keep Alma Mater Ohio out of the Fullmer Cup standings… the best I can say is this: we’ll never be as bad as Marshall.

How far does one have to take things before one’s conduct is deemed persistently disorderly?

I love your infatuation with Blazing Saddles. Easily Mel Brooks’ best film, with Young Frankenstein #2.

Persistant disorderly conduct? That sums up my first 7 years of college.

As another OU alum, I’m disappointed. Doesn’t this kid know such behavior is only acceptable on Halloween and the now-annual Spring Riot? Halloween in Athens: If you can remebmber it, you weren’t there.

After all the GHB and horse-punching…we think we need to visit Athens.

Fulmer scoring: Do the Kittens get a style point for this one?

Wait, if he punched the horse once, shouldn’t that be haphazard disorderly conduct?

Now, if he started to work the ribs a little before using the jab, that may be persistent.

Fine comment, NIT.

italiangator: You do have to be superdrunk, but it helps if the officers are anything like the ones hovering around the 2nd Ave courthouse in Gainesville at 2am, because they will herd you up against the wall and have the horse step on your toe. True story.

gatorjess,

If a person can be charged with assaulting a police officer for punching a police horse — and s/he can and often is — it seems to me that a person who has had their toe stepped on by a police horse would have a claim under the Sec. 1983 of the Civil Rights Act, as well as the applicable state statute.

And your pleading would totally get on The Smoking Gun, so you’d have that going for you. Which would be nice.

gatorjess- I shall take your words as motivation to stagger downtown from midtown tonight and see if I can’t reenact the incident to the best of my ability :)
