Yea as much as it pains me (and baffles me) that someone doesnt want to become a Hokie, its hard to place much stock in recruits who wont be officially committing for another year plus.

You know how many people I have seen get knocked out in my five years in the Burg?

I assume this is rhetorical, and I don't mean this to be sarcastic but how many?

Excellent job by Coach Vaughn to get him to commit, and not just because Rivals.com justified with a fourth star what we all knew, that he's an excellent player.

Its only a trend b/c news media assume anyone who got punched in the face must've been a victim of the game. He said it himself, kinda like the knockout game, but we are still gathering information. Sometimes people just get knocked out. Sometimes its a game and sometimes its "for Cause". You know how many people I have seen get knocked out in my five years in the Burg?

If it is a game that they both consensually agreed to play with each other, hard charges are not likely to be filed. Disturbing the peace - maybe... Assault - No.

The "knockout game" bullshit has been a trend around where I live and it's fucked up. Anyone complicit in that kind of garbage needs to be severely hazed.

Edit: I would be really surprised to find out that Miller was doing something so cowardly.

I agree with you. A million different things could have happened.

Instinctively when I read someone got involved with the police at TOTS I assume both parties were drunk and there was an altercation. That's an incorrect assumption. For all we know Miller could have been sober and been horsing around with a friend who took a spill. Cops are perched outside of TOTS late night and they check on everything and anything happening outside.

And Bass Fishing.

Considering how young our teams are (comparatively), things aren't so bad.

That's not a lot of information. For all we know, he was the one that called the police and told them about the "knockout" game they were playing. That's enough to say "involved".

Yes. This in no way is a good thing. Hopefully Alston Smith or Augie Conte is ready to step up if he is indicted. And, hopefully the injured party is isn't seriously hurt.

it would be our first team national championship. we have individual champions in track and field

Not to be the wet blanket here, but this is potentially a very serious issue. A person (student?) may be seriously injured and Miller may be in jeopardy of missing his last career game.

I'm reserving judgment until more facts are released - but making light of the situation makes me uncomfortable. All we know is:

ODell confirmed that Miller was involved, but said that while the department is gathering information, no arrest was made and no charges have been filed at this point.
