Mr. Hornsby? Please Leave Now. Thanks.

From The Gainesville Sun and EDSBS...

Jamar Hornsby, a University of Florida football player, was released on his own recognizance after turning himself in Friday morning on charges of credit card theft and fraudulent use of a credit card.

Hornsby, 21, was allegedly using a credit card issued to Ashley Slonina, a University of Florida student who died in an October 2007 motorcycle accident in which walk-on UF football player, Michael Guilford, also died.

The card abuse started Oct. 13, 2007, the day after the girl's death, according to court records and involved a BP gas card.

I wish I had a joke here. Some how, this makes Florida's history of gun play seem fun. Hornsby is innocent until presumed guilty, but I think a preemptive expulsion is necessary here.

Get him out

It’s not his first incident, so he lost the benefit of the doubt already. He needs to be off the team before the weekend (and preferably, the day) is done.

The likelihood he didn’t do this is pretty low. Financial fraud, especially when done by an amateur, leaves a huge trail of evidence.

If he’s somehow innocent, then he comes back. If he’s guilty, he should be gone from school. This is not an isolated incident; it happened for 6 months and there’s no way to confuse it for something like self defense in a fight or ignorance of the law. This sort of action doesn’t just run counter to what a university stands for, but counter to any sort of human decency.

I’m glad someone was able to say what we’re all thinking. I’m still pretty speechless.

It's official

It’s official: he’s gone

Florida coach Urban Meyer said in a statement that Hornsby "is not part of our program.".
