I have not missed anything. You are the one passing judgement on people you don’t know. You are missing the point.

#25…You are missing the point entirely, but you do appear to have experience in the bigotry dept.

Still Learning, your example isn’t a very good one. your link is an article about crimes against GT students, not crimes by GT students. I’m guessing your intent though is to show that this type of behavior occurs at pretty much all universities at similar frequencies. Based on my experiences in other locales, I’d agree with that.

Barry is a moot point. He steretypes entire groups of people (VT students and atheletes and administrators) by the action of a few. He is a bigot.

#15—From the description of your rant, it appears you are the one that might need to be looked at for possible connections to April 2007. I am a very calm, informed blogger that presents the facts and some predictions for the Hokies; I provide the other side of the scale and it isn’t always popular. Like Bud Foster’s defense giving up 99 points in three games against Clemson. It is a fact and bears thought, it is not just stirring up the pot. But sitrring the pot can help folks be objective about their team. Andy can remove my messages any time he deems necessary but I do like the fact that he allows differing opinions. Not everyone on here disagrees with me….you do, Scott, Zman, definitely Jerry and a few others. I defer.

#18 Zman, you really disappoint me. I thought you had the mental faculties to not be such a knee jerk apologist. Obviously, I was incorrect in that assumption. You’re that hypersensitive? Really? Aren’t you a grown man? My mistake.

‘Way over the top’? Seriously? Wow, you’re almost as weepy as some of the others on here who only want to see cheerleading comments. If you weren’t so eager to slap out at what you often wrongly label dissent, you might understand I didn’t criticize.

If you are able to type through the tears, take the time to tell me one thing I said that was inaccurate in the post above.

Jimmy Turk is the attorney for VT football players. Other than Marcus, name a Hokie football player that’s been arrested and had other representation in the last decade. He is well known for doing so, you’re pretending that is false?

The charges were pled down from felonies to misdemeanors. Who’s talking about ‘the good ole days when we were young’, except the apologists, without ANY reason to even get into that?

Who wants to pretend the players won’t be reinstated as a result of the charges not being felonies, per the letter of the code of conduct?

Seems to me that you, Zman are the one way over the top. Or do you not understand why I typed the words – ‘TURN THE PAGE’ at the end of my post? No, you’re too busy looking for boogeymen who say mean things – more correctly, things you wrongly think are mean – about Frank’s program.

Get over it, and grab another box of tissues.

So no one knows exaclty what the “explosive device” was but everyone is ready to let these men off easy. Sounds like Montgomery County Commonwealth’s Attorney Mary Pettitt, is a like Miss Cleo. She “knew” the intent of these men, it was only a harmless prank, no intent to harm, yada yada yada.

Will the next students who do the same thing get off easy?

Football players get in trouble (could be felons) and of course get off easy.

And you guys play if off because “we all have done it before”. What BS. The preferred treatment of atheletes continues.
