This week the ST unloaded on the 2000 UW Rose Bowl team (coached by RN) unlike any expose I've ever seen. Here is an expert from the final piece comparing the RN team to the current team under TW...
Quote:
During the 2000 season, at least a dozen players were arrested or charged with a crime that carried possible jail time. At least a dozen others on that team got in trouble with the law in other seasons.
Jerramy Stevens was arrested on suspicion of rape during the season but was never charged. Four years later, a lawsuit filed by his accuser was settled for $300,000, with the money paid by Stevens and a fraternity where the woman had been served alcohol.
Jeremiah Pharms played the entire 2000 season while under investigation, suspected of robbing and shooting a drug dealer. After getting arrested in 2001 — nearly 14 months after the crime — he agreed to a plea deal and was sentenced to three years and five months for robbery.
Curtis Williams played the first six games of the season with a warrant out for his arrest. He had previously served time for choking his wife and was arrested in each of five straight years while at the UW.
Fewer players — about a half-dozen — got in trouble during 2007, a review of Washington state court records shows. The search turned up only one player accused of physical violence.
