Last I heard he has been indicted but has not gone to trial...

Here is an article about the case and his transfer, court is not until October

WR Boyce leaving Hokies for Norfolk State | HamptonRoads.com | PilotOnline.com

Why would a school accept a student who was being indicted for a felony?

If you read the article I posted, the QB coach at NS was Boyces coach in HS and they are very close. The coach says he believes that Boyce in innocent so they have offered him a scholarship. I am sure it will be pulled if Boyce is found guilty.

Gotcha. I didn't read it obviously.

I can see that... this would be all the more tragic if he's telling the truth. If his daughter was hurt in some other way or if she suffered injuries that weren't Boyce's fault, then he was kicked off the team and was charged with a felony? Can you imagine if that happened to you?

I should know better than to believe what I read in the papers (see Tech shootings, the latest SEC expansion, any other news story of note... the first edition always gets it wrong).

Completely off topic but I just can't contain my excitement and want to tell everyone lol. My wife is battling her 2nd fight with cancer in the past year recently. She did a few rounds of chemo and the CT scan showed that it did basically nothing to shrink the masses. On a hunch our family asked the doctors to do a PET CT (detects areas that consume large amounts of sugar such as tumors) to double check this and the results came in today and 2 of the 3 places with tumors are no longer living tumors. After a string of bad news and luck good news came in today and I almost started crying at work. We are able to go back to the original treatment plan and hopefully resolve this in 3-4 more months rather than 1-1.5 years with a little bit higher success chance since the tumors appear to be sensitive to chemo. Sorry to throw a sob story in here but I am too excited not to share. Now if we can only wrap this whole thing up with VT in the NCG it would be a perfect ending!

Fantastic news, Nick! Clearly your wife and you are battlers and that damn cancer picked the wrong young lady to mess with! Thoughts and prayers are with you guys.

 

[HokieGhost]

Nick, very happy to read your good news...prayers on the way for you and your wife.

 

[Hokie200proof]

Congrats Nick! It really puts things in perspective. My family has had its wins and losses with cancer so I know more than I ever wanted to know about all that. It always warms my heart to hear that some has put cancer in its place. Fvck cancer.

Prayers and well wishes for speedy and full recovery from my family to yours.

HOOray for HOOS 2011 is really drinking the Mike London koolaid....i mean he is chugging it down. from the disney board, he is talking about new divisions in hte ACC

"Currently, the North is better than the south as UVA is set to become an elite team this season under London, VT is above average, and Boston College should be a 10 win team. Maryland is just an unfortunate program IMO."

i questioned him

his reply:

LMAO. VT can thank their past success to Al Groh. Now that London is coaching Thomas Jefferson's University, elite recruiting will be combined with top notch coaching. It is lethal combination which will result in many ACC coastal championships, starting this season. Also, Kris Burd will be a heisman candidate as he is by far the best receiver in this conference.


:confused2:

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

He has to be a Hokie in disguise. I went over there and read some of it today when u mentioned the Canes fans. What an awful board.

Btw, go back to your Jacory Harris thread and respond to the asshole who trash talked you, on the water cooler.

I will now be joining in on the conversations on this board. If anyone remembers me from the disney boards, I was a moderate to light poster there during the 2009 season while I was unemployed. Once I got a job I stopped posting and sorted through the board to find the useful information.
