Selwyn Lymon Tries to Make Purdue Football Interesting. Fails.
The Biscuit
ZZZZZzzzzzzzzz. ZZZZZZZZZZzzzz. Wha-what? Lymon arrested? Again? Oh, ok. ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz. ZZZZZZZZZZzzzz.

Purdue’s “number 1 player“ was arrested again this weekend, on drunk-driving charges. This makes his 3rd legal offense in the last 2 years. Lymon was arrested before for drunk driving, and was already awaiting trial for his related participation in a fight last Spring outside of a nightclub where he was stabbed.
Charges from that incident are Class A misdemeanor operating a vehicle while intoxicated, Class A misdemeanor operating a vehicle while intoxicated with a blood-alcohol content of 0.08 percent or higher, Class A misdemeanor battery, Class B misdemeanor disorderly conduct, Class B misdemeanor false informing and Class C misdemeanor illegal possession of alcohol.
As a result, Lymon had an ignition interlock device (think a key that requires you to pass a breathalyzer test before you can start the car) installed in his car and was forbidden to drive any car that did not have one.
This past weekend, Selwyn once again did his best to make W. Lafayette exciting…
Sheriff’s deputies arrived and saw a red 1998 GMC truck leave and park in a handicapped space. Lymon was driving the truck. He was found to have a blood-alcohol content of at least 0.15, nearly twice Indiana’s legal limit.
When the police arrived, Lymon tried to make a run for it. But couldn’t start his car. Then he pissed himself.
Nice try Selwyn. I mean, you did your best - and parking in the handicapped spot was a nice touch. This is the most exciting thing to come out of Purdue in years! But sorry, still boring.
EDIT: Purdue’s own Boiled Sports has jumped on the Boring Bandwagon. I am glad they’ve come around (bold is mine):
Here are some teams who are currently playing how Purdue once did:
(I mean they compete with everybody, beat good teams, are exciting to watch, attract national attention and get this- look like they’re having fun playing. Reference The Golden Era.)

If this post brings over all the Purdue fans like the Llloyd Carr gag snagged the Michigan (sucks!) fans, then we’re going to have 4 more nuts to deal with today.
But the nuts are funny. Unintentionally funny, but funny.
