The two quotes that raised my eyebrows were these two:

-Matt is known for flying around campus with reckless abondon on his moped. One common story is the time that Roth lost control of his moped and hit a curve head on by Carver Hawkeye Arena which sent him over the handle bars. He then stood up, looked around, hopped on the moped and took off like nothing happened.
The first one is pretty funny, but shows a lack of class that could get blown out of proportion if he's struggling. If he's productive it'll get blown off, but if he's not then this sort of stuff gets magnified and becomes a big deal.
The second one is scary - take that same attitude and put him in a sports car instead of a moped and he's dead or seriously injured. I agree that he's probably got more Shockey than Rocker in him, but it's stuff like this where a reckless attitude can translate into missed games.
And I can see how having a guy like this to root for could be fun, it'd be like John Belushi's Animal House persona suiting up and knocking heads. It just doesn't lend itself to long-term success IMO.
