Castro Masaniai Charged, Suspended
Junior Castro Masaniai, the defensive tackle considered the heir apparent to the position Stephen Paea vacated when he graduated, has been charged with a number of offenses stemming from an incident Saturday afternoon.
Corvallis police responded at about 3:45 PM to the downtown McDonalds restaurant, to a report of a possible assault in progress.
Masaniai was subsequently taken to the Benton County jail, and booked on charges of second degree kidnapping, coercion, disorderly conduct, harassment, and criminal mischief, after a dispute with his girl friend, according to Corvallis police.
The second degree kidnapping charge arose after Masaniai reportedly tried to force his girl friend, who was not immediately identified, to leave the restaurant with him.
Masaniai will be arraigned Monday morning, when a court date will probably be set. Bail was initially set at $177,500.
Masaniai, a 6'2", 340 lb. native of Waipahu, Hawaii, was the third defensive tackle in the rotation last season until suffering a mid-season shoulder injury in the game against California.
Oregon St. head coach MIke Riley is out of town, and was not available to comment, but has suspended Masaniai indefinitely, pending further developments in the matter.

Auburn already clinched that one

Unless this counts for 2012?
Nope — both this, and the Auburn burglarpalooza, take place in the same Fulmer Cup season (namely, the offseason between the 2010 and 2011 football seasons).

Phew!
Wait a minute, what am I being relieved about here?
Does this fall into a “hollow victory” type of deal?

I think what you’re relieved about is the “Well, at least he wasn’t that guy” perspective. Which I think is totally valid.

and Auburn
will probably have to give that title up to.
A sad thing to happen to a young man BUT...
Its a little humorous how similar to the Lamike situation this is.
I’m betting you don’t go quite so hard on this one, all of a sudden “waiting to hear all the facts” is envouge in Corvallis! haha
I honestly hope the guy doesn’t get convicted of kidnapping, that’s a bit far imo. Here’s hoping cooler heads prevail. Still, it will be epic to sit here in Eugene and watch this site defend one of its own after going after James last year…
Those who live in glass river dams…
I didn't pounce on LMJ
No one (most people) don’t want such things to be true. I take a wait for the details approach to these things because anyone can accuse anybody of anything, anytime. Think that Duke scandal, for instance.
Now making fun of Masoli for the laptop deal is completely fair though ;D (He did plead guilty, and stealing is a lighter subject than violence.)
I have an interesting challenge for you
and watch this site defend one of its own after going after James last year
Do a search on “this site” BtD for LaMichael and LMJ and see how many times we all “went after” James last year for his legal issues. I think you might be surprised in how little we actually dwelled on it all. I would even contend that OSU players in trouble with the law have been highlighted as much as Oregon ones here if not more.
As for comments going on it is interesting that the most time we all spent on LMJ has been arguments about how much one can compare him to Quizz as a running back! Also for the using LMJ’s troubles within their comments note who actually brought those up in a very negative light and also I would contend most of the time seemingly out of nowhere (OSU fans? Or was it SC and BSU fans?).
-RVM
Yeah I completely agree
We didn’t exactly attack him, just laughed about it. I was mainly laughing at Mastoli anyway

and remember
it’s the coach who suspended LGB for “the season” until he needed him that is hypocrisy prime.
I don’t believe in the one strike and you’re out for our kids or yours, but I will remember the slimy way that the chipster handled that one for quite some time.
Heehee.
Still writing that tired bit of revisionist history? “Until he needed him.” Yeah, not like we had a 1500-yard rusher who had already been running through your defense that day…oh, wait, we did.
Fuck you, Juju. We'll do it ourselves.
