From my dad: "Remember how I said the only thing that could get JLS fired DURING the season would be legal problems/criminal charges against players?" Well, have a look at the latest from the LSJ:

Rick Lambert, an East Lansing resident and software salesman, told the State Journal that his son and a friend - both MSU students - were attacked and beaten Friday morning by four football players. He said both of the students' families have informed police that they will be pressing charges.

The alleged altercation took place near Capstone Commons Apartments in East Lansing, both Johnstone and Lambert confirmed.

Lambert said his son was knocked temporarily unconscious and that the face of his son's friend "looked like a women's basketball, it was so puffed up," after Lambert arrived on the scene about 3 a.m. Friday.

The son's friend received treatment at a local hospital the next day and was released, Lambert said.

"(MSU coach) John L. (Smith) has called both families several times since then," Lambert said. "He has been very nice about the whole thing."

Gee, I'm glad coach Smith has been so nice about the whole thing. Maybe if he had a leash on his players, we wouldn't be reading stories like this. Doesn't anybody remember what happened to Bobby Smith? Methinks the wheels are starting to come off the wagon for John L. Smith.
