I really dont think anyone understood where I was coming from, the reduction of infractions for those three schools is pretty amazing.

wow. Bruce Taylor a freshman DE/LB for VT that redshirted this season was assaulted at Hokie House tonight and somebody broke a bottle over his head that resulted in a pretty big cut on his head. From the people that were at the bar he didn't start the fight and left right away and didn't try to retaliate. Hope it isn't anything serious and he heals up quickly and they catch the guy that did it to him.

He had to at least have said something to provoke the guy. How often do you see a guy smashing beer bottles of strangers heads for no reason?
And I know athletes are normally targets. But not 18 year old ones that have yet to set a foot on the field.

I'm sure he was probably talking trash to the dude, but it doesn't call for a bottle to be broken over his head. I'm just happy that he didn't retaliate and was the bigger man. The gash and all the bleeding could have helped that process out though.

Hokie Pokie, is Allen Stephens off of the team now?
I read he is.
He is/ was a monster in waiting.

I hadn't heard anything. That would suck if he is as he would an awesome MIKE for us.

Wherever you heard that was right. He didn't want to move to DE so he is transferring to Murray State or Morgan State (some confusion over which).

Wow, what a loss.
Why would we even move him...he would have been a monster at middle linebacker.

Preston Parker just got arrested for DUI, blood alcohol level was only .05 but he admitted to smoking marijuana and is already on probation. Probably kicked off the team. SUCKS!

He'll either transfer down to D2 or D3 or declare for the Supplemental draft. Either way he's probably killed his NFL chances

Alex Wujciak will own the ACC!
This has been a CCB public service announcement.

And Willie Williams was never arrested while he was at Miami. He was arrested in HS while in Gainesville hanging out with Gator recruits. Got kicked out of Miami and has been arrested since then but he was infraction clean while at Miami.
As for the FIU fight. You all know there isn't a school in college football that wouldn't react the exact same way that we did if FIU had thrown your kicker to the floor and threw punches.
Seriously, here are the big things that get brought up about Miami since the Butch Davis era:
1.) FIU Brawl- All schools would have done the same in that spot.
2.) Willie Williams- Never had an arrest at Miami and was barely here for a year.
3.) Murders of Sean Taylor and Brian Pata- shortsighted people try to bring up our players getting murdered and blame it on them not realizing they were the victims.
|
Fact is, Miami shouldn't have taken Willie Williams. Don't feel bad though - pretty sure every other program in the country would have too.
Bottom line, is Butch Davis built the reputation and it is going to take years to fix it. And any little change - will always come back to THUG U. I'd agree completely with you that now Miami is no different than Ohio State, USC or Florida and is much better than FSU.
Anybody want to place bets on when Butch puts Carolina on probation? Somebody needs to start asking questions when a basketball school with no football tradition or atmosphere starts recruiting like he is.

What are you smoking?
Butch Davis took over the program after it was already on probation.
The reputation is from the 80's. We paid the penalties for it in the 90's under Butch Davis but he had zero to do with any of the Thug U image we have.

Isn't too big of a loss. We have great athletes coming into the WR position and his play hugely declined from his SOPH year. Reed, Easterling are both better than him anyways.

Whats the news on Corey Surrency? He looks like he has all the size and speed combo, but is his eligibiltiy going to run out? I thought he was only a junior?

Thought his issues were grade wise and I'm pretty sure it's already been reported that he is not playing next year. I'll try to find the link if I can remember where I saw it.

Florida State is appealing for another year but they don't feel confident.

The frontrunner is FSU, Clemson, or Miami as usual.
The team that will actually win it is Virginia Tech...as usual.

I get the point, but that is somewhat false. We are preseason top 10 on most sites, highest among the ACC teams. Georgia Tech. and Florida State follow.
I think we will win it, but we are a bit high preseason for my tastes. I like being underrated, but I guess it comes with the talent and territory.
