Some of the best and most memorable JRs/CRs from my time as an RA and stories I was told from past RAs:
-Kid was putting stink bombs all over Miles
-Girl drunkenly peed in her hallmate's closet at 3 AM thinking it was the bathroom
-Busting Margarita Monday on the roof of West AJ. Roof access was unlocked due to construction on East AJ
-Shower pooper part 1 and 2. Unknown resident was pooping in shower in 2008. Identity discovered in 2009 when same resident was pooping in showers of a different building.
-Vending machine thrown off the roof of Pritchard. Date unknown.
I'm sure there are more that I'm not thinking of. Some are more common and less exciting such as a couple busted in the showers together, but the girl thought she could wait it out by staying in there hoping the RA would just move along.
Agreed. Freshman year, I had a female RA who was underaged and getting drunk all the time. Soph year, the RA was underaged and walked in drunk with me back to the dorm. He also gave us tips on ways of hiding things so that when he walked in, he wouldn't have to turn a blind eye. I guess what I'm saying is, some of the RA's were pretty chill
Even without vardy I gotta say I think LC is gonna win this one. They look like theyre on a mission! If they dont this week they will next. Manu and Everton's possession style strategy plays right into the hands of Leicester
ATH is a show I'll stop and watch. Pablo Torre, Jackie McMullan, Kate Fagan, Kevin Blackistone, Tim Cowlishaw, Israel Gutierrez, and especially J.A. Adande. Usually reasoned voices who seem like they genuinely enjoy being on the show, and guys like Paige who are loud brash voices don't take themselves too seriously and don't just say things to get a reaction.
Twist ending!
Lived in the 2nd floor of Vawter in 2003. We were playing wiffle ball in the little grassy area, across from Donaldson Brown next to the dorm. One of our buddies was upstairs in his room overlooking the field, and for whatever reason we didn't feel like carrying everything upstairs. We had him open the screen and we threw the balls, bat, and bases up to him. RA saw, and decided to write us up. We appealed, since the rule book said it was verboten to throw things OUT of the windows, but said nothing about throwing things INTO the windows. Still got a JR.
wow, i'd have been spooled in about 5 seconds!
Love finding stuff I like on clearance at the sporting goods store.
This a.m. I was at Academy and they had 3 Rebel Jumpin' Minnows left on the rack with yellow clearance tags. Two bone colored and one bone w/ chartreuse back so I grabbed all three. They were the smaller freshwater versions. Why I was on the freshwater aisle, I don't know...destiny no doubt.
I've caught more redfish on jumpin' minnows than any other lure. So I brought them home, changed out the hooks and voila...3 nice topwaters for $9! Will I use them? Doesn't matter. The important thing is I HAVE them and I got a good deal.
edit: and Mrs Dave points out that I did this without getting a hook in my hand!
Exactly.
Yeah I've stopped watching it because of him and baseball is my favorite sport. If there's someone I really want to see I'll watch it on mute or in Spanish.
Wilbon is an ass. He threw a fit over Jurgen Klinsmann's comments right before the World Cup acting like he knew shit about soccer. Klinsmann was spot on but Wilbon acted like Klinsmann was an ignorant immigrant and told him to leave the country. It was so immature.

I think it has a lot to do with the individual RA. My freshman year, the RA on my end of the Miles Hall 3rd floor (a guy named Ken Doll, I kid you not) seemed to really not like paperwork and would let you get away with just about anything other than openly drinking or smoking in the hallway...or making fun of his name. The dude on the other end of the floor was a real stickler for the rules and would write you up for just about anything. That changed abruptly after one of his charges came back to campus earlier than expected from a weekend at home and allegedly found said RA in his dorm room watching a movie (I'll let you use your imagination to guess what kind of movie) on the resident's TV. After that, a deal was apparently brokered and the entire floor was a glorious free-for-all for the remainder of the year.
I hope he feels better soon, nerve pain is like no other and he's worried about it for so many reasons. I wish him a speedy recovery and that he can continue to care for his family the way he wants to.

That really sucks. From what I remember, the Dallas RB was head hunting. He knocked Kyshoen and another Redskin DB out of the game with head/neck injuries. If they are going to flag the defense with helmet to helmet, they need to start getting the offense for doing the same thing.
At least Tirico is going to NBC.
startin' to get the feeling we're not going to be graced with your knowledge today :(
I saw that too, and also noticed that the program listed James Shibest as Jason Shibest, if I recall correctly. The support staff did not come out of the spring game looking good. But hey, at least we didn't have to apologize for copying UVA's spring festival graphics.
Wilbon's wife is a UVa alum so he sometimes takes subtle shots at VT.
Don't forget Simmons.
Sounds great. I'll be looking forward to it.
This will be included in new thread after lunch. It's been a whole thing on Twitter with former players.
And when they showed Tyrod, the screen read "Tyrod Taylor, Virginia Tech Cornerback". C'mon Hokie Vision....
Nicely done. Too bad it didn't fly.
