Thursday Night
A small update regarding the three players arrested and charged with burglary, two of the three have been kicked-off the team, Dimitri Lott and Rashad Hunt. Apparently they've have problems with Hunt before this most recent incident. Apparently Julius Howard had a small roll in all of this and he will remain with the team.
Since we still have very little news otherwise, here's an article about the new Baylor QB, Szymanski, and another one here.
Tim Griffin and Jimmy Burch are both predicting a Tech victory.
That's about it. Seriously.
Just in terms of a future insight about myself. I have absolutely no desire to really delve into Lott and Hunt being kicked-off the team. I've never really liked the legal side of sports, from labor negotiations to players in off the field/court trouble. Obviously, if a player who is in trouble with the law is affecting the play of the team then it probably deserves comment. However, I really like my sports to be about sports. I know that this is a little naive and I'm burying my head in the sand about the reality of sports and the way it will interact with the real world, but it's not my favorite thing to write about. Obviously, it's never good when people are arrested, and I think as fans we really hate it when our team is in trouble. I am usually a "glass half full" type of fellow so I tend to err on the side of caution when talking about a player who is in trouble. Let the facts come out and we'll know whether or not he's done anything wrong, but there's no reason to speculate.
I won't give the Jarrius Jackson dismissal much talk other than to say this leaves Tech with very few options at guard. Apparently we have two JUCO's who have some point guard skills, Charles Burgess and Benny Valentine (who stands only 5' 7") but both attended Howard County JC. Obviously, someone will have step up and score for the Raiders.
