Official Off-Topic VT Thread

The rugby team must be far different then the one we had at the school I attended. The rugby house burned down my junior year, we considered that the surprise of the minute.

I remember some members of the the rugby team describing something they called "quarters relay". They dropped trou, squatted down, put a quarter between their cheeks, waddled to the far end of the relay, and then attempted to drop the quarter in a cup. I don't recall how they got the quarter out of the cup...perhaps I've blocked it forever from my memory!

Stewart Mandel on twitter posted that GT's 2009 ACC title may be in jeopardy. Word is the investigation deals with extra benefits received by Bay Bay Edwards and Morgan Burnett. Will be interesting to see if NCAA gets them on the repeat offender status.

per Mark Bradley of the AJC

I'm told nobody is getting fired, but Georgia Tech people are bracing themselves for a big hit from the NCAA. @MarkBradleyAJC 12 minutes

 

[BdozerVT]

GT has a planned response at 4:30pm to the NCAA's announcement at 3:00pm. So GT already knows its fate. NOW LET US KNOW!

This is getting so out of hand.

[757Hokie83]

really off topic...but anyone else notice the similarties between kyle tucker and nick frost (shaun of the dead)

 

[BdozerVT]

Looks like sources say GT will have to vacate their 2009 ACC title:
Georgia Tech will vacate 2009 ACC title - CBSSports.com

And 757, I heard KT actually looks nothing like the various pics he has up...apparently he is looking rather hippy-like these days.

But yeah, I see the resemblance in that pic, haha.

Tech fined $100,000, forced to vacate 2009 ACC title by NCAA | Georgia Tech

100,000 in fines, vacated some wins in 2009, and a couple bball recruiting days lost...not the end of the world.

 

[Ragingcroc]

Wow $312, that's some big time money. Thomas got a pay cut going into the NFL.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

never mind

 

[vtpoop]

LOL, I guess Smaul Johnson got "outschemed" by the NCAA. LOL at that douchenozzle.

Speaking of off-topic subjects, Bruce Feldman has been suspended indefinitely by ESPN. WTF???

I'll let you read the article and come to your own conclusions, but Feldman has always answered my questions on Twitter and he doesn't know me from a hole in the wall.

That is such bullshit. Craig James is such a bitch. Feldman was better than ESPN anyway. I loved his stuff. He called it like he saw it.

He has been screwed by ESPN...should have gotten that verbal okay to work on Leach's book in writing.

I hope he gets hired by Yahoo Sports...he would blend in well with that group.

Generally I am not big into sport books, etc. but I am definitely picking up this one. Feldman had an "OK" by ESPN to take part on writing this book. Then suddenly he is suspended? WTF - sounds like a RAT by the name of Craig James is sucking off the powers that be at ESPN again in order to get his way. What a little bitch!!!!

Sorry if this has already been posted.
Long article, but worth the read. Texas A&M insider website talking about possibility of more conference expansion. Says SEC would take A&M and Clemson in a minute. Also, near the end, has some interesting stuff about more SEC violations to come to light in a very matter-of-fact manner.

Scout.com: Winds of Change Blowing Again?

He told me that with all the media attention on the Cam Newton situation at Auburn along with the Will Lyles stuff and other things that “there are other allegations that will come out that will implicate 3-4 other SEC schools”, the SEC has shifted its attention to managing the fallout he said will likely come when these allegations hit. So instead of worrying about whether the SEC will take A&M, it appears the issue could be whether the time is right for A&M to take the SEC. So that is another strike against an immediate decision.
