To be blunt I thought AM was below average and Lydon was similar but he had a little bit tougher of circumstances.

AM actually did have a few really good drops in coverage and got underneath a deep curl and almost got an INT. Unfortunately, the areas where he struggled last year looked very similar.

Yep, completely agree. While I find the news very disappointing, part of growing up is making mistakes along the way and some of those are more costly than others. Unfortunately for both of these guys, it might end up hurting them in the fall come time for the season. Nonetheless, that doesn't give us as fans the right to just start calling these guys all sorts of inappropriate names and questioning their dedication to the program. Was it a stupid mistake? Yeah. But we've all been there, and hopefully most of us have learned a thing or two along the way. I trust Coach Fuente will deal with this appropriately, and I hope Alexander and Gaines can be back out there as soon as possible because we need them both badly.

Only a couple of days away. There are now 76 registrations, and hopefully more to come. Weather is going to be nice.

They put out a list of raffle and auction items:

1. Frank Beamer signed bobble head
2. Frank Beamer signed hat
3. Frank Beamer signed visor
4. Foster signed hat
5. Fuente signed mini helmet
6. Coach Thomas signed softball
7. Buzz signed basketball
8. 4 tickets to June 13 - Nats vs Cubs w/ garage parking, $400 face value
9. T shirts - Harley shirts from around the world
10. Metal Harley decorative sign
11. Leather biker jacket
12. Handmade VT Hogs4Hokies quilt - $150 value
13. River Creek Round of golf for 4 - Face Value $500
14. VT vs BC 2 tickets

Some of these are raffle and others are silent auction. They do them at the end of the ride. I don't think you have to have been in the ride to participate, as all the money goes to the charity.

If you come out, don't hesitate to say hi. There will be some guys with vests that have Low Brau patches, it may be me, or my MC.

I was about to post this same thing.

I remember hanging with Matt Lear his freshman and sophomore year. He wouldn't even hang out with us if we had a beer. He didn't want to risk getting in trouble. Eventually he went and played for the Cowboys, well until the steroid thing.

I had 6 JRs. My freshman year we had a pretty cool RA, he was pretty lax, and if I recall, he got into some crazy stuff himself (he had sex with his girl on that round table in Burruss). Here are short excrepts from the ones I can remember:

1. My freshman year in 1997, we got these giant dentyne cups as a welcome gift. They were like 44 oz and had a bunch of stuff inside. Shaving cream was one of these items. We were some of the first guys to live in Slusher, and we had a shaving cream fight. We cleaned it up, but the female RA gave us a JR.
2. There was a flooding of the bath tub (remember first males in Slusher), which apparently flooded an SA's room on the first floor. Seemed to skip a floor. Remember seeing her shoes floating around. I think I may have been pegged for this, or under heavy suspicion. Seems I was one of the ringleaders of our troubled band of brothers on our floor.
3. My sophmore year, we had a keg party in our dorm room in West Eggleston. Got busted at 10pm with over 30 people in our room. Cops rolled in. Our RA didn't turn us in, but the HRA had gotten a tip from another RA who had heard about the party. Cop proceeded to tell us about how he got drunk off some grape juice he once found under a porch, and could poo through a screen door. We were put on probation and kicked off campus living after that semester. The crazy part was we used to have Case parties, and sometimes we would have over 8 cases gone through. Which is more than a keg. I think being off campus eventually ended my JR streak.

Guess I can really only remember two, but I do know I had 6. A professor was trying to get me for honor code violation, because one of my class mates copied all my answers for homework. There was also a lot of streaking Slusher Beach and the Drillfield. Though I don't recall getting any JRs for those. Damn, now I'm going to be trying to figure out what else I got into trouble for.

I don't get the weed thing.
You are between the age of 18 and 22 and have a fighting chance of retiring a millionaire by your mid thirties. Both the NFL and D1 schools have strict doper policies. Why risk it?

Stay cool for a few years, then by the time you're 34, kick back and blaze up a fucking acre for all I care. Smoking weed will probably be more enjoyable when you don't have to practice football and remember all those plays and stuff anymore.

Or, it could be as simple as the officer asked the individuals to step out of the car. They get out of the car. And then the officer asked if he can pat him down. They say yes, probably because they think if they say no, they'll be arrested. Officer pats him down and finds the marijuana.

But, I guess that scenario would've been stupid too. They should know their rights to say no to authority, because everyone fully understands their Fourth Amendment rights.

We just don't know the situation. I can't be disappointed.

I'm currently in law school and have my final on Criminal Procedure is in two weeks. According to what I've learned, the Fourth Amendment should definitely apply to the dorm room. But, a leg for the research.

But there are exceptions, or ways to get around the Fourth. One is a "welfare check," but there would have to be actual belief that welfare was in jeopardy. Another is simply get consent to search the room from your roommate. And, private citizens, like American University employees could search any room because they're not gov't agents (the Fourth only applies to the gov't).
