Kentucky signees gone wild: spring break

by Mike Rutherford on Apr 13, 2011 9:45 AM EDT in Football

This video, which features (reportedly) students from St. X., Trinity, Ballard, and Male getting rowdy on spring break in Panama City, has been garnering some national attention over the past 24 hours.

The highlight(?) of the video is one of the young men tackling a security guard into the pool at the 1:44 mark. Well it turns out that young man is (apparently) St. X senior Daylen Hall. Daylen Hall, a three-star cornerback, has signed to play football at the University of Kentucky.

Maybe not the best move when you have so much to lose and coaches are obviously going to have a heightened sense of awareness about stuff like this after what happened to Matt James last year, but whatevs, spring break, brah.

Side note: I never got to go on spring break in high school because of baseball. Where I did get to go was Bowling Green, Ky. My senior year we were en route to the BG when it began pouring down snow and we received word that the tournament we were supposed to play in had been snowed out. We still went and scheduled three or four impromptu games against local schools.

Those were fun phone calls with my friends in Florida.

both of the girls in the pool seemed really impressed by that tackle.

there is one that says

“hell yah, he deserves a full scholarship! look at that form!” something along those lines…

I heard that spring break was a nightmare this year…this is proof positive

SPRING BREAK!

Guy gets in a line of scrimmage formation before he tackled the off guard security guard. What a bitch. Security guard showed great restraint. I would have cuffed and stuff that guy and hoped he showed resistance so I could punch him a few times. Guy also keeps throwing his arms in the air like somehow tackling an out of shape, off guard security guard is some great victory. What’s wrong with these kids?

Alcohol Mixed with High School Inmaturity

There was a time when I would have had a blast seeing that happen.

Now I’m 25 and get hangovers.

Ridiculous

I’ve done some stupid bullshit in my day, but this is one of those things that I would’ve been smart enough to walk away from… so many factors…
A. Too many dudes
B. That kind of partying is notoriously risky for college athletes
C. It doesn’t take a genius to know that taking down a security guard – even if he was being a dick – is only going to end badly, and
D. spending time riling up a bunch of dudes takes away from time one could be spending trying to get a drunk chick back to his room.

If St. X is anything like it was when I went there...

Mr. Hall is wondering today whether or not he will graduate from St. X.

Long before you whipper snapper's time, I along with 3 compatriots were jugged for the year

What a day. Paraded by the police through the gym during an assembly. Entire school was there. Oh, the good old days!

weed in your lockers?

Nope. Gambling.

We were apprehended pitching pennies in the car wash before school. For good measure they added several other charges like loitering, tresspassing (as this was private property), public nuisance, illegal assembly, etc. We actually were taken downtown and fingerprinted before being return to school. But the charges were later dropped so we were good with the law, but not with the brothers – if you know what I mean.

We spent the year in Room 119 and everyday the jug monitor called for his four regulars. That was us.

I used to work in the gas station next to the car wash

As a freshman, I dealt poker for a bunch of seniors every morning before school. Didn’t know I was risking that level of embarrassment

I guess in some small way, I had a part in establishing this den of iniquity in which you no doubt flourished.

Seriously, we heard later that neighbors had reported certain nefarious activities there in the very late night/early morning hours (probably drug dealing) and thought we were those guys. It became pretty apparent they we wern’t but at that point everyone had to save face. Getting marched through the gym during an assembly was purely bad luck but it did make the occasion memorable.

What year did you say you graduated?
