RIPPA Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 In what has been a big story around here this morning 3 members of the University of Virginia football team where shot and killed this morning Quote A former University of Virginia football player suspected of killing three football players and wounding two other students on campus late Sunday night is in custody after a manhunt in Charlottesville, Virginia, police confirmed Monday. Three Virginia football players -- wide receivers Lavel Davis Jr. and Devin Chandler and linebacker D'Sean Perry -- were confirmed by university president James E. Ryan as those killed Sunday night. Two others were wounded in the shooting, which happened on a bus of students who were returning from an off-campus trip. Authorities said the suspect in the shooting, identified as Christopher Darnell Jones Jr., has been taken into custody. Jones was listed as a freshman running back on the team's 2018 roster, and his roster bio noted that he previously played at Petersburg High School and Varina High School in Virginia. The UVA Police Department had tweeted earlier Monday morning that it was looking for Jones regarding the shooting, which occurred in a parking garage on campus around 10:30 p.m. ET Sunday. The tweet included the same photograph of Jones that was used for his Virginia football bio online. Ryan confirmed in a message to the community at 4 a.m. ET Monday that three people were killed and two others were injured. Ryan wrote that "one of our students, Christopher Darnell Jones Jr., is suspected to have committed the shooting." https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/35025779/police-seek-ex-virginia-football-player-campus-shooting The suspect has been taken into custody 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted November 14, 2022 Author Share Posted November 14, 2022 I will just mention (since there is no real way to transition away from the story) that UVA is supposed to host Coastal Carolina this weekend Obviously no idea what will happen with that game yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted November 14, 2022 Author Share Posted November 14, 2022 Shane Lyons is out as West Virginia AD (with Head Coach Neal Brown most likely following him at season's end) Normally beating Oklahoma might work in your favor but not really this year The one thing that might help Brown keep his job is that paying his buyout would really really hurt the athletic department financially. (His buyout is something like $17 million). This is why you don't give extensions to coaches who have .500 records at the time 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No decision has been made about next week's game at Virginia Tech I hope they are able to play. I know VA/VA Tech are rivals but they'd still be very supportive since its all in-state. These types of situations typically bring out the "best" in rivalries and it would give the players a chance to honor the players killed. Course, obviously with all the emotions involved I'd understand if they cancelled, I can't imagine how hard it is for the players, but I still hope they are able to go through with it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not at the game, but I can confirm the weather here would be miserable in the stands. Hopefully it'll help prevent the standard bloated police blotter that happens every time Western plays here.

When I attended Western, we actually did street patrols during CMU weekend to keep a lid on things. It did help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 BRAWL OF THE WILD just skyrocketed up the Best Rivalry Name chart, and that trophy (EDIT: 306 - THREE HUNDRED AND SIX pounds!) is fantastic. GameDay site choosers have been hitting it out of the park this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 The Auburn/Ole Miss Twitter saga over the perceived services of Lane Kiffin are worth the price of admission alone. I'm definitely team Kiffin to Auburn. I may even steal @EVA's old Avatar on this board for a bit if it happens. The annual Jimmy Sexton working everyone for his own pocketbook hunger games is in full effect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
