That’s a shame.

Too bad the game in Gloomington is on a Tuesday and not the one in Mackey.

It's probably one of the few places open in Bloomington at 3am.

Don’t slam Taco Bell! They are better than White Castle!

Taco...Taco!!

Karen behavior.

Cursing out employees, refusing to leave, ignoring cops orders... literally the same stuff you see on hundreds of Karen videos on YouTube.

He’s an 18 yo kid at the end of the day. He made a mistake, like many of us have done at that age. He will face some consequences, hopefully learn from this all and move on.

I definitely agree with being an 18 yo kid and making mistakes, but times are also different. I don't recall seeing so many people/kids blatantly disregarding police commands. If, we thought the cops were coming.....we were running.

Taco Bell food gives new meaning to run to the border

He'll be 19 in a couple weeks. Anyway you slice it, he behaved like an entitled Karen. Odds are the police body cam footage will be released thanks to the FOIA, and his Karen behavior will be on YouTube for the rest of his life.

In my youth I had plenty of interactions with the police. Once for possession of weed. All the other times were for parties being broken up, a car being pulled over, or a friend being cited/arrested. Never once did I or any friend ignore police commands. And if they gave us the opportunity to leave, we dang sure didn't pull a Karen and refuse.

Well, he was stuck in the Taco Bell drive thru when they came 😂

lol ok either way he’s still a kid and will face the consequences everywhere he plays this year from all student sections and fans. Probably get a one game suspension (maybe?). Hopefully he learns and doesn’t have it happen again.

If only everyone would have been like you…

But tbh, he probably will get an NIL deal with TBell once it all said and done

What makes this really bad is I think he was sober and he acted like this...

You good my dude? You’ve posted essentially the same thing in multiple threads on this board and IU board.

This dude created a new account just to call someone a “Karen” a bunch of times. Dude needs to go outside and get some fresh air.

And to tell some “edgy stories” of his past

 

[HarrysPostGame13]

Sounds like they need to start adding grubhub and DoorDash gift cards to their NIL packages.

 

[Emartin70287]

so what actually happened? I imagine just a misdemeanor. Probably a nothing if not someone of interest.

 

[DwaynePurvis00]

Correct. He was cussing out the Taco Bell drive thru, cops called, told to leave. Was leaving, but reversed and decided to park in a parking spot and cops came over to tell him he was under arrest for trespassing and then he wouldn’t get out to get cuffed. He locked his door and they broke the glass of his car and then he resisted arrest by holding onto his car. But yeah, misdemeanors.

 

[Emartin70287]

Wow, sounds like a real piece of work.

Make all the excuses that you want. None of you were making hundreds of thousands of $ when you were 18. Hes being paid like an adult. Instead he’s acting like a spoiled entitled brat. Don’t be surprised if/when he’s in trouble again.

Have had the same account for years. Just never posted on this board before.

You’re very concerned about Karens and you posted the same thing multiple times on here and IU board…which is giving off “Karen Like” energy on your end. 😂

Could be?
But "multiple times".....his profile only shows 4 messages @ this time, all in this thread.

Not making any excuse. Just saying he’s a kid, and we have all made mistakes, especially at that age. He will hear about this mistake more than any of us ever would allll year. Hopefully, he learns from it.

Yeah he has 12 messages on the IU board and it says he also joined in April 2023.

 

[SCBoiler1]

Not to get all Psych 101 here, but is this really surprising? It's actually pretty difficult for people to adjust to an influx of money, notoriety and/or power. Everyone's probably been telling him how great he's been since he was a young kid. Now its being reinforced financially. I don't think its surprising that he thinks he deserves special treatment. It's the old "do you know who I am" phenomenon. I'm sure this plays out on a daily basis with college athletes, unfortunately for this guy, law enforcement was involved.

I'm hoping this incident helps him recalibrate his expectations of how he'll be treated off the court where he's just another customer getting a taco at 3:00 am.

I blame the cops

IU faithful are blaming the Taco Bell. Supposedly it is notorious for terrible service and closing early etc.

And what makes that one different than the other 50,000 Taco Bells in this country?

Taco Bell is at fault for a lot of things, I don't think terrible service and closing early are near the top lol

Years?? Says you joined March of 2023 with only 4 messages.

And it says I joined Tar Heel Radar on September 17, 2020. It says I joined Devils Illustrated on Dec 29, 2022.

Neither is accurate. I was a premium member on Rivals using this account more than a decade ago. I posted on several boards over the years, including this one.

At some point over the past 10 years, Rivals changed board software and it reset my post history. Now each time I post on a Rivals board for the first time since the software change, it says I just joined. But this account was literally created on Rivals when Chappelle Show was still airing new episodes on Comedy Central.

Glad I could clear that up.
