Eddie McGee's status as Illinois' No. 2 quarterback will not be affected by his arrest in connection with an incident at a dance last weekend, coach Ron Zook said Wednesday. McGee has continued to practice with the team and will back up starter Juice Williams on Saturday against Indiana.

According to university police, McGee pushed the EIU student after being poked in the eye. He also was accused of grabbing her by the throat and throwing her onto the dance floor.

"Let's leave out the important part FN."

That's just how FN works. Big headlines, without all the facts = lots of comments.

Zook the crook recruits criminals/kids with questionable character so why would he think twice about suspending them when they get into trouble?

October 16, 2008  11:44 AM ET

That picture is a classic Zook face.

What is it about that guy?

October 16, 2008  11:49 AM ET

women!

Zook probably was partying with him when it happened .............sounds a lot like what happened while he was at Florida

Doesn't it depend on who's on the upcoming schedule as to whether or not you suspend a player? I also thought that was an NCAA by law.

I don't understand why college and pro players hit women. You are a superstar, don't you have girls or peeps that have your back to do the dirty work for you. When Hamlin for the Seattle Seahawks got jumped outside of a nightclub and had a skull fracture, the two people who jumped her were found dead the next morning riddled with bullets in a dumpster.

Gotta have the crew to back you up

I'll tell you why. These kids think they are superstars. From the the time they showed promise at an early age, they were coddled and told they were the best. They think they can DO ANYTHING including hit women. And why not? They hit people as a sport. Both go hand in hand.

come on Zook learned all he knows about discipline from Bobby Bowden.

If that's a joke, it's sick and pathetic.

You're a moron. And what is it with all of you gator fans popping up on here all of a sudden? Did they just get their first computer in Gainesville? I can't wait 'til the gators lose again so all of you orange and blue tards can crawl back into the hole you crawled out of. We all know you won't be here to eat all of the shiznit you've been talking...

October 16, 2008  07:58 PM ET

hey rear eyeWIDEopen, you just keep on waiting. Hope you can handle NCSU they are a real power house. Are you so brainwashed that you really think OL Saint Bobby is a disciplinarian? Come on ... I thought you said your eyes were wide open. Bobby routinely benches back ups but not starters and when he has to because the school forces him he complains. And who can ever forget his "international rules" to not bench his kicker. PS that kind of example causes problems such as half your team cheating. They know they don't have to respect the rules. Because OL bobby boy will do everything in his power to play em unless of course you are playing south west texas state of the wounded sisters, then he will take a real ethical stance. He is a beacon of ethics......

October 16, 2008  08:12 PM ET

I have to ask myself: Why is an ignorant gator fan talking smack about ethics or discipline? Surely you're aware that one of your esteemed gators got into an altercation this season, pulled out his trusty AK-47... and FIRED IT!!! Do tell, what sort of severe punishment did Saint Urban administer? That's right chump, NOTHING... nada, zip, zero. Go try someone else you hypocritical turd.

October 16, 2008  10:18 PM ET

I'd bet money my IQ is much higher then yours.

so let me correct your facts because as usual yuou are wrong. that guy you refer to did that last year not this year. and That guy got kicked off the team and had his scholarship removed. now yes he is back thi syear but on his own dime. that is discipline jackson. when was the last time ol bobby took someones scholarship away? By the way, still losing to that powerhouse NCSU, wow. If you read both our blogs you will see that I write without the credeness that you you. The only turd here is you. so now that I have corrected you and all that zero zip is shown to be wrong, I guess your point is that you are misinformed. Funny thing when you call someone a hypocrit only to be shown that you are wrong. But you should be used that you are after all an FSU fan. I'd try shutting that eye if I were you. Please try and up your game will you, you are beginning to bore me.

crudeness.. had a bunch of typos I'm in a hurry my GF is calling, have to go to work now. later hope you step it up

What school did Zook use to coach? Just taking shots at FSU is dumb considering the guy came from UF. Meyer's got quite a reputation for being a cut-throat "fatherless son."

Really? I think the fact that I can spell shoots some holes in your theory, genius.

BTW, Urban Liar took away a WHOLE scholarship from the fool who fired off his assault rifle during an altercation? Ooooooo, that IS harsh. Don't go betting your whole allowance on your IQ, kid.

Yeah, better hurry off to work. Those pizzas aren't going to deliver themselves. Don't worry about your "GF", though. She was just calling to tell you she's not coming home tonight, but I'll be sure and drop her off at your place when I'm finished with her.

the work I meant was in the bedroom as an FSU fan I see why you didn't get the reference. I find your blogs ugly much like your face I'm sure. You lack any style or humor what so ever. I try and use humor to level my attacks, but you lack any style whatsoever which is a better indicator of your IQ. AS to my spelling that is simply because I didn't bother to check given its only for you and you don't merit a second look. you couldn't handle my GF. Go on and buy your hand another drink, I think its about to give in and give you what you need. Thress drinks is the usual for you huh?

so did you even go to FSU? OR are you just a wannabee semenhole?

see try and use a little style your blogs are boring, you are boring. geez I banish you.
