Apparently, Popeye didn't eat his spinach

With the run that Murray State has put together this season, being the only remaining undefeated team left in America, we figured it was as good a time as any, to bring our 'new' little bro in the state down a notch or two.

We're calling out their most famous alumni, and one of our all-time favorites.


It won't really do much, but it is always fun to get in a Ronald Jones reference and poke fun at another team.

Ol' Popeye Jones decided one night in 2009, that instead of getting spinach from a can, he was going to get some alcohol from one, or 14.
I'm Popeye, drunk as a sailor, man...
Jones, while he was an assistant for the Dallas Mavericks, was picked up for a DUI. It escalated into a pure beat down by the cops, for what they termed as Jones 'resisting order'. They claimed he was not cooperating with his hands. He moved them forward instead of backward while they were cuffin' and stuffin' him.

Jones was slammed to the ground, and Popeye got a few black-eyes, welts, and road rash looking scraps on his 'hey you guys' lookin' noggin'.

Jones has recovered nicely since that point. He has seemingly stayed out of trouble, learned how to call cabs/and or get a ride, and he has raised his son, Seth, to being one of the premier prospects for the 2013 NHL Draft....Hockey????
Jones is also an assistant coach now for the Russian Vodka Mob/Kentucky super fan and cultural icon combo owned Nets.Hova.
