MSU'S NATALE TO TRANSFER TO RUTGERS. HUNS CAPTURE MOST OF NEW JERSEY.

by Orson on May 24, 2006 11:19 AM EDT

Domenic Natale, the VHT Michigan State redshirt freshman qb, will be transferring closer to home to Rutgers for the remainder of his career. Greg Schiano's pulled off a minor coup in this case, but it also means Natale gets to be closer to his native people, the Huns, who apparently have a school in central Jersey:

Domenic Natale, rated as one of the nation's top high school quarterbacks during his career at The Hun School in Princeton, will transfer to Rutgers from Michigan State, Rutgers announced Tuesday.

The Hun School. Now we feel cheated--we would have killed to learn how to be a Hun. (Which would have made us qualified to do it, right?)

They'd better have a good football team, as well as classes in horseback combat, harem management for the rising young chieftain, and decapitation techniques for the beginner. And Lordi must be the official band of the Hun School Senior Prom--not only do they have the thumping, stomprock Jersey sound down, but their lead singer carries a battle axe onto the stage. What's more Hunnish than that? Besides the ability to raze a city and hit a moving target with a bow and arrow at fifty yards?

Conquering New Jersey as we speak.

If you’re named the Hun School, the nickname is easy. The Hun School Raiders.

I think after I finish my final tonight I’m going in search of the Hun School. It’s gotta within 10 miles of this lovely U.
How do you name a school that regularly sends kids to the Ivies “the Hun School of Princeton?”

Myron Rolle went to Hun. Prepare the rest of the country for a heapin’ load of pillage and ruin between the hashes.

The place costs $24K/year for day students and $34K for boarders. You’d have to do some serious pillaging just to pay little Attilla’s tuition.

Is Lordi becoming the offical metal band of EDSBS? I would give it strong consideration.

I grew up in Princeton. Went to the public high school. It’s an uppity town where tons of kids go to prep schools. The really good ones go to the Lawrenceville School or to places like Andover and Exeter in New England. The not so good ones go to Hun and Princeton Day School. It astounds me that that place is suddenly turning out D1 caliber football players. It never even registered on the radar of prep powerhouses when I lived there.

Yes, Myron Rolle is also a product of the Hun School.

This is the same Myron Rolle who said he chose to attend the Florida State University beacuse of its distinguished academic reputation and recently admitted to the Knight Commission that: ‘Florida State players are active within Tallahassee.’

As a former student of the Hun School, I wonder whether the name is there in hopes that it scares our enemies away from coming to the school before they have a chance to be underwhelmed by what the students are really like.

The school is named after John Hun, I believe some time in the 30s. I saw a picture once and noticed he had a thin black moustache directly below his nose which was popular among the European elite at the time. I’m actually thinking of one European elite in particular. You make the connection. We’re glad the school went with “The Raiders” instead of the other possible mascot choice, which may have offended some.

I should remind you guys that the Carolina player who was arrested for a bar fight a while back also attended The Hun School. Juwan Simpson, to his credit, did not.
