Earlier this month, Virginia Tech record slayer Tyrod Taylor tweeted out some photos of his college rings alongside his Super Bowl ring with the Baltimore Ravens.
757Hokey had the original post here.
At the time, I joked that Mike London already had a response, but it turns out I was way off base. I am here to humbly admit my error.
It concerns former UVA QB Marc Verica. You remember Marc Verica, right? The guy who was replaced for the 2008 VT season finale with cornerback (not a typo) Vic Hall? The guy who got beat out for the starting QB position by Peter La-what was it? Lalo? (Googles) Leyla? Leela? (results) Lalich! Renowned Wahoo world beater Peter Lalich.
You know, this guy:
No? Nothing? How about these?
"Another generic UVA QB getting smacked around by Hokie defenders," you say. "So?" Fair enough.
Well, before Marc Verica could even get a parking spot in Ashburn, he was released during training camp by Washington. This left him free to pursue every kid's sports dream. Verica signed for the 2012 season with the Cougars de Saint-Ouen-l'Aumne, a club which plays in France's Elite league.
Now, before you start laughing at all the UVA-France jokes that write themselves, consider this news:
Congrats to @Harris_Tweeter pic.twitter.com/WVlqB0S5xT— Mike London (@CoachMikeLondon) June 25, 2013
That's right. Marc Verica (Harris Tweeter? really. Harris Tweeter.) is the best player in the league. Okay, it's France. And okay, it's the best non-French player in French Division I. But still, it's ... something... ... !
So, all you football recruits, consider carefully: you can come to Virginia Tech, win ACC titles, win bowl games, go to the NFL, and maybe win the biggest annual sporting event in the world... or you can be pretty good at throwing corner routes to Frenchmen.
