Welp.

"Tyrod did it, Mikey!"

That's.... not good

Damn, beaten by 14 seconds. My forum post can be deleted haha

interesting could we have another Reavis issue brewing?

I was overtly excited about both of them. This really makes me sad.

"Exit light..."

Well, that stinks.

Well this is painfully vague and potentially foreboding.

Annnnnd commence reading too much into the tweets of 18 and 19 year olds...NOW

Yea no kidding. I mean is this peace as in peace out, like I'm out of here, or is it more like peace as in everything's going to be alright. Then again it's probably neither.

Using /s is for cowards.

I think what I'm probably most upset about is that we'll have to sift through loads of speculative comments debating what they could have possibly done to get suspended.

sometimes I just hate the off-season

What?

21st century QBs Undefeated vs UVA:
MV7, MV5, LT3, Grant Wells, Braxton Burmeister, Ryan Willis, Josh Jackson, Jerod Evans, Michael Brewer, Tyrod Taylor, Sean Glennon, and Grant Noel. That's right, UVA. You couldn't beat Grant Noel.

Oh man, these guys were going places.
I hope it is something that can be atoned and they learn from it.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

Damn that's a swift kind in da nuts. Two probably starters at once

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
β€œI served in the United States Navy"

this sounds a lot less unpleasant than a swift kick in da nuts

Nice April Fools, VT Athletics... you can end the joke now....

Hey man, you need to calm down. Here, this should help you breathe a little better.

Given the situation, really not funny.

Super funny. Loosen up.

the numbers don’t lie and they spell disaster

Classic McGruber. Unflinchingly takes his swings. This one went all the way to the parking lot.
Spectacular.

A picture is worth a thousand words. A gif is worth a million.

Can someone elaborate on what "indefinitely" means?

In the past it's meant until the coach/admin decide to let them back.

So Fuente can suspend them until September and be completely fine...? I'm as disappointed in this as everyone else, but as long as that doesn't ever read "kicked off the team" I'm not overly concerned

its a schools way of saying.. they're going to be put in timeout until we get all the facts and decide what to do with them.

not a defined time limit. Potentially forever or could be changed tomorrow.

I've started using this site at work when people ask me questions that in my opinion are dumb.

Hokies United l Ut Prosim

NOOO! Are we allowed to swear on this site? If not, DARN it!

All Maroon, all the time!

Sigh... This was the first thing that came to my mind. They will probably be in Fuente's doghouse all summer and be suspended two games.

2 games for pot seems harsh

FTFY

Guess they can smoke on it while they wait.

Getting charged with possession is different than failing a drug test.

Not incredibly serious charges for either of them (considering they are college students and this stuff happens). I guess we'll learn how much bs Fuente will tolerate after this scenario though and set the precedent for future punishment.

OK, I saw what Alexander got suspended for (possession). Any word on Gaines?

Also,

No, I *don't* want to go to the SEC. Why do you ask?

We don't love dem Hoos.

I have to imagine this was Fuentes exact face when he found out

All things considered, could be worse

College Football Player Cited For Possession is about as vanilla as it gets. Happens everywhere. Sucks that it happened to our guys this time.

The real story will be about how Adonis and Housh handle themselves from today onward. Mistake made. Your move, guys.

This is so interesting: the other thread on this (that Joey started) is going MENTAL. Lots of soapboxes being pulled out and dusted off.

Also, given the subject matter, a surprising number of high horses.

There are a whole lot more WEED IS THE DEVIL'S LETTUCE people on here than I would have guessed.

Did somebody say "high horses"?

I see you, McGruber.

Both you guys...

You and your lazy horses

Is riding a high horse not what you are doing?

Yes. Sorry for letting him graze on your lawn, which I know you've asked us repeatedly to stay off.

I was waiting for my invocation here. Not bad, +1

Side note, I didn't even realize there were two threads about this until just now, with the same exact title. Fireman drink.

Look again my equestrian friend, mine was first.

At first you typed Maine and I had a good order of US statehood post BUT YOU RUINED IT WITH YOUR EDITS

I'd stick around and have some fun with this pun thread, but instead I'll simply say, "chow."

This really has been a buffet of humor.

Ah, I see. I'll drink for the false claim.

Didn't really like seeing CJ Reavis go, going to really hate seeing Adonis miss time, especially if that time is UT.

What this means is that states that have decriminalized the stuff will now start having more success recruiting. Colorado wins 2019 championship perhaps???

"The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. " Rocky B.

Except it is still prohibited on Colorado's and Colorado State's campus so they would still face punishment.

They might improvise since they are college students. Go off campus.

"The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. " Rocky B.

Uh, have you ever been on their campus:

Colorado? No. Oregon on the other hand...

Weed is essentially decriminalized in Cali. So, USC, UCLA, Berkely and such would benefit, if criminality of weed was a major concern for recruits.

Let's talk about what happens next. Who steps up? Who is close to play time but needs more polish?

Favorite play that never was - "Hooker with the dime to Pimp...leton."

See...I don't know what the suspension means. is it a game? 2? 3?

We need to hope that Facyson is good to go.

looked over the roster and it looks like everyone but Steve Sobczak is lacking in polish...

Isn't this why we hired Fuente? WHO NEEDS DEFENSE? amirite?

#AllOffenseEverything

In all seriousness, whats the worst case Scenario? Are they seeing the field next season?

Originally, I couldn't imagine a scenario where they aren't eventually playing football again for us. However, some of this stuff about how harshly VT handles this stuff is worrying me somewhat, but I don't think it's worth panicking.

I think it's a shame considering how much work these guys put in
and how important they are to the team. Nobody wins here.

They both seem to have a bright future so hope it all works out.

They both put out tweets apologizing for their actions. I liked seeing that.

Favorite play that never was - "Hooker with the dime to Pimp...leton."

This is good stuff. They've made their intentions known, and now it is time to see it through.

Good luck guys, I'm rooting for you

We all are rooting for you both. Smacking your old lady=bad. Stealing crab legs=bad. Smoking pot=well, you decide.
