Zidane’s Grand Exit

Comments

Zine­dine Zidane will be remem­bered for his pas­sion for the game, his abil­ity to bring his team together, the sal­vage he per­formed on the French World Cup 2006 team, and most of all a head­butt. This doesn’t ruin his whole life or the fact that he had one of the best careers a foot­baller could have. Yet, it tar­nishes what could have been the bright­est star France has ever had. I know there are all sorts of experts that are read­ing Materazzi’s lips and that Mat­er­azzi has released a state­ment reveal­ing exactly what he said to the French­man. Yet, I can’t help but think of how many times some­thing has been said to me and I just ignore it and move on.

Marcus Vick’s Wild Ride

Comments

People that reg­u­larly read this site know that I go to Vir­ginia Tech. People that keep up with Vir­ginia Tech know that Marcus Vick, Michael Vick’s little brother, also goes (went) to Vir­gina Tech. Recently Marcus Vick was kicked off the team after inten­tion­ally step­ping on an oppos­ing player’s leg, I have to com­petely and whole heart­edly agree with Vick being “dis­missed”. All of his actions reflect upon Vir­ginia Tech and there­fore the major­ity of people think that we are the same as Vick.

Well a few days after being dis­missed from the team, news comes about that he was arrested on firearms charges. I believe Vir­ginia Tech’s admin­is­tra­tion did what they needed to do, maybe not as early as they should have, but better late then never.

Ten Quarters of Perfect Defense

Comments

So, we beat Geor­gia Tech fifty-​one to seven. That marks the end of our per­fect defense streak. We ended up with 10 per­fect defense quar­ters. Geor­gia Tech made tons of mis­takes, making it way too easy for us.

The final score was 51-7.
