BREAKING: 3 UK Football players allegedly involved in bar fight in Richmond,Ky. http://bit.ly/1v0gSJY 

... Sunday morning, Drew Barker, Dorian Baker and Tymere Dubose had been involved in an altercation at a local bar in Richmond named Jerzees. Details as to who did what are still uncertain at this time but we were able to receive a photo from an anonymous source of the EKU football player that was sent to the hospital with gruesome injuries to his face as evidenced by the photo above. Troubling news as well considering these players are mere months away from having been involved in the air soft gun incident on campus.

And on Drew Barker specifically...he came here to be the face of this program. The silliness and immaturity is very disappointing

Coach should have kept them on campus & let them shoot things with their airsoft guns....

Three Kentucky football players who found themselves on the wrong side of the law last year may have done the same to start out the new year.

The father of Eastern Kentucky lineman Colton Scurry told the Louisville Courier-Journal Tuesday that his son sustained multiple facial fractures during an incident at an off-campus bar this past weekend. Three Kentucky football players were alleged to have been involved in what turned into a brawl: wide receiver Dorian Baker (pictured), quarterback Drew Barker and defensive end Tymere Dubose.

Curry may need to undergo reconstructive surgery, his father allowed.

In late September, Baker, Barker and Dubose, along with running back Stanley "Boom" Williams, were suspended following an airsoft pellet gun incident that ended with Lexington police shutting down campus.

Barker was UK's in-state 4-star QB who took a redshirt as a freshman in 2014.

Sounds like big man should have kept his mouth shut, and maybe his face wouldn't have gotten bashed in.

EKU bar fight victim threw beer bottles at Nerlens Noel's car in 2013: http://kentuckysportsradio.com/nba-cats/eku-bar-fight-victim-threw-beer-bottles-at-nerlens-noels-car-in-2013/ ...

Scurry locked down his Twitter account yesterday, but this screencap of a tweet he sent nearly two years ago is making the rounds. Scurry tweeted that he threw beer bottles at Nerlens Noel's car back in June 2013. That may suggest that Scurry has a history of antagonizing UK players, or it may suggest he was just a dumb kid doing dumb kid things...

STOOPS ON THE RICHMOND BAR FIGHT

Stoops also spoke about the Richmond bar fight involving Drew Barker, Dorian Baker, and Tymere Dubose. "Things are gonna happen, but we will continue to work with these men and educate them," Stoop said. "Those are good kids. I know more about the situation and about them than most people, and it's easy for people to judge them on what comes out initially in the media and everything else. Whatever the outcome is, were they wrong in certain aspects? Absolutely. We're not afraid to address players when they're wrong."

Does Stoops still believe in Barker, Baker, and Dubose? "Absolutely. If I didn't, they wouldn't be here."

Translation:  (Stoops)........."Well, things are gonna happen, & they seem to be around when things do. We need to educate them more on bar fights, etc. I don't care what they have done, they are still on the team...& will be until they are locked up.  If that happens, they will be placed on our reserves list. (practice jail squad) I still believe in them. They are good kids. Just because they are getting into trouble all the time, doesn't mean anything"

I heard they lost the fight by 2 touchdowns, but still managed to beat the spread.

Stoops hasn't heard any more on Barker, Baker and Dubose related to bar fight. "Waiting to see if any charges come down the chute."

[jbcarol]

Grand jury declines to indict UK football players over Richmond fight, reports Greg Kocher of the Herald-Leader. "Richmond police interviewed UK quarterback Drew Barker, wide receiver Dorian Baker and defensive tackle Tymere Dubose about the Jan. 25 fight at Jerzee's Cocktail Lounge & Dance Club on Richmond's Main Street. Scurry, 20, an offensive lineman, suffered a broken nose and facial fractures."

Richmond police finally released video surveillance footage of the bar fight involving UK, EKU football players: http://www.courier-journal.com/videos/sports/college/kentucky/2015/04/14/25769701/ ...

The video, related police documents help explain why no charges were filed in that bar fight. Not a great look for anyone. But whose fault?

One officer wrote that this video shows EKU player Scurry "the primary aggressor" in the fight with UK players

Say this for Richmond police: they conducted a thorough investigation. Got warrants for deleted tweets and DMs.

The full case file from the Richmond police investigation into the bar fight involving UK, EKU football players: http://cjky.it/1Iahdvc .

Also in these docs: surveillance footage showed former UK/now EKU player Patrick Graffree striking Barker in a dorm

EKU player who sucker punched Kentucky QB Barker is no longer listed on roster per @jenheraldleader. Video of punch: http://www.foxsports.com/college-football/outkick-the-coverage/kentucky-quarterback-drew-barker-suckerpunched-by-former-teammate-041515 ...

Concern in Lexington that his UK teammates did not appear to stick up for Barker.

Indication that Towles is their man at QB?

Looks like everyone involved in the two UK/EKU scuffles will be available when the teams meet Oct. 3 in Lexington. Think emotions run hot?

Pretty amazing that the one guy in that UK/EKU craziness who can clearly be seen on video punching a dude in the face won't miss a game.

Lol.  Yeah, what a shock.  Must have been nobody's fault....you know, nobody started it.  Just happened out of the blue.  Guess this means bar fights are ok, even if there are injuries.   

No charges filed.  Sounds a lot like Tallahassee......

Eastern Kentucky at Kentucky (7:00/SEC Network alternate): The off-the-field nonsense was trumped by last weekend's tragic death of an EKU player in a traffic accident. Puts things in perspective. It's only football.

Ball game. TD pass gives EKU a two-touchdown lead over UK with 7:39 to go and Cats have shown zero sign of life. This is ugly.

This is great for the people on here bragging about Stoops.  Anything can happen on any given day.  Hope EKU holds on.

Towles said at no point did he think UK would lose. "I know there's probably 20,000 people who did."


Went to same high school as Jared Lorenzen who was used to seeing UK fans leave early.

Security threat at EKU moves game vs. Tennessee Tech to Georgetown College (from @AP) http://m.apnews.com/ap/db_268748/contentdetail.htm ...

Eastern Kentucky has moved Thursday night's Ohio Valley Conference game against Tennessee Tech north to Georgetown College after a security threat led school officials to cancel classes for the remainder of this week.

EKU cancelled classes on all of its campuses Wednesday morning to allow law enforcement to investigate "an escalating threat" originating on social media after discovering graffiti that threatened to "kill all" this week.

Thursday's game moves about 30 miles north to Georgetown's Toyota Stadium, which formerly hosted training camp for the NFL's Cincinnati Bengals.
