WFV UPDATE: PAT LAZEAR AND RANDY MOSS ON INEXORABLE PATH TO CONFLICT

You’re giving too much street cred to this homeboy wannabe. In classic, dick-jock fashion, he allegedly “masterminded” the Smoothie King plot but sat in the getaway car while one of his jock-sniffing friends went inside and did the heavy lifting.

To judge from his parents’ comments in the Post articles, they think their poor dear was punished enough by being forced to attend Wheaton High (where they have real gangs) this year rather than tony Walt Whitman in their home neighborhood.

He’s a good get for WFVU but no where near Pac-Man Jones or Chris Henry territory. Randy Moss would run him over with an Escalade.

No Randy Moss owned juice bars in Morgantown. He kept them down in Charleston near Huntington (Marshall). Lazear and his fake gun would be the least of his concerns in Morgantown.

Juice business is in Charleston. No ex-Marshall athlete comes to Morgantown unless it’s to “visit” the federal pen located here.

im so glad that mexican isn’t in tuscaloosa

But it’s close, right? Any excuse to post a pic of Randy Moss in a tie will do.

Sounds like an idiot. Even if he stays out of trouble at W-who-the-fuck-Virginia, he’ll surely end up bombing out w/ sprained cerebrum and a 1.78 GPA.

Roll Tide by the way. Fear Applewhite!

me and my buddies did a high school fantasy football league this fall using players from the metro-dc area. pat lazear was a first round draft pick for one guy. when we found out he was a felon we implemented a rule that if a player on your roster was charged with a crime you got 10 points that week. the league died after three weeks. compiling stats from the post every week was just too time consuming. it was fun while it lasted though.

Charleston is a solid 2.5 hours from Morgantown.

Fucking Maryland. This is why I live on the VA side.

For the record, Pac Man kept his nose clean while he was at WVU. It wasn’t until getting to the mean streets of Nashville that he let his inner-thug out.

And if anyone knows where I can get one of those "West Fuckin’ Virginia "sweatshirts, please let me know.

Sorry for the rambling post. I’m done now.

You had to purchase the shirts outside football games. They were relatively new (last 2 home games) and I haven’t seen them popping up anywhere else yet although Pronto Printers would be a good guess.

Is that Randy Moss, or Tron?

“Get outta my face nigga! Im making juice!”

the fact that WVU has to take a gamble on talented recruits with character issues is a testament to how difficult it must be to get what the experts perceive as “top tier talent” into morgantown to play. this is not to knock the school or the program, i think most fans of the ‘eers would agree that this is possibly the one thing holding the program back from contending consistently for BCS bowls year in and year out- although they’ve been doing a hell of a job as of late regardless.
    that, and WVU must be so hyper-competitive with Louisville that watching the ’cards sign Willie Williams prodded WVU into engaging in some sort of Big East thug proliferation race…

Whitman High draws from one of the wealthiest areas in the country (Bethesda, MD), and Lazear comes from considerable means.

Anyone stupid enough to risk so much for $463 (which he could probably find in the cushions of his parent’s house) either has a serious drug problem or is so mentally handicapped as to fit right in at WVU.

WVU hasn’t traditionally been forced to gamble with character problems (neither Pac-Man or Henry were problematic out of HS), instead they have taken the lower rated athlete. Rod’s systems has changed that somewhat as we can take players at positions on offense (Pat White or smaller linemen) that wouldn’t play at a similar position elsewhere. In this instance, I believe it is Rodriguez taking a calculated risk to shore up his linebackers. He has a surplus of power for staying and is spending some on pushing for Leazar

RJS- if, in fact, we have seen the beginning of a Big East Thug arms race, my money’s on USF. Even if you aren’t a thug going in, Tampa has a way of turning you into one.

Hey CBG, if you want one of those shirts, just go to a home game. There’s a dude down near the pit selling those. Is it just me, or does Randy seem to be contemplating how that juice would mix with some Gin?

Is this Lazear guy really newsworthy?

Also, please God tell me that’s a real picture of Randy Moss.

Hook ‘em #6,
What’s wrong with a 1.78 GPA?

Yes, it is a real picture. Awesome.

To summarize post #11, Division I uses the state of West Virginia like Great Britain used to use Australia.

Huh, last I had heard of this kid, Ohio State was recruiting him heavily. Seemed about right to me that a thug of his nature would be heading to Columbus. I guess at this stage even Cheatypants has to pay attention to a robbery conviction…

They make West Virginia run up cliffs at heavily armed Turkish troops?

Potomac follies: CBG, living in NoVA doesn’t leave you much room for mocking MoCo. And I’m not saying that because I’m about to sell out and move to MoCo. Not at all.

(Does MoCo Trojan have the same ring to it? )

goddamn double posts. So much for hitting the Esc key in firefox.

Re #20: That’s the US Army. I was thinking more of Oz’s penal colony roots.

As for “MoCo Trojan,” I’d keep the current post-name (no one outside the Beltway knows the difference anyway) while enjoying the massive upgrade in local school systems — the Pat Lazears of the world notwithstanding.

I would argue that Colorado, Texas (Baylor included), Virginia, and Ohio (with Ohio U) are far more likely to land a player with a rap sheet than WV even if you include Marshall (which thinks it’s in Kentucky).

That’s the US Army.

Either way, it involves unpleasantness.

Schools are the reason. $27k / year / child for Sidwell Friends or National Cathedral School isn’t in the picture, and DC public schools are not a realistic long-term alternative.

The Devil Family is completely sold on the Montgomery County schools and was inclined to make fun of Whitman even before the Smoothie King robbery.

Whitman is my only hesitation about moving into Bethesda — sounds a little too “90210” to me. But I’m 9 years out from having to worry about that.

Maybe Cheatypants lost a recruit b/c he shit the bed in the title game.

I didn’t rip on MoCo – I have friends that live there – but I did rip on Maryland b/c I’m not a fan of the state in genearal. Everywhere in MD takes 2 hours to get to. And Terp fans are incredibly annoying. But there is a Dave & Buster’s in Bethesda, which I find slightly redeeming.

Well, “90210” creator Darren Star actually went to Winston Churchill in Potomac. The school allegedly served as partial inspiration for the show.

And, for CBG, Marylanders find NoVA equally confusing and many pack their passports and a handheld GPS device before crossing the American Legion bridge. To the uneducated eye, there appear to be as many Glebe Roads in Arlington as there are Peachtree Streets in Atlanta.

There’s only one Glebe Road – I think – but there are about thirty 22nd Streets. I’ve lived here for ~4 years and I still consider myself lucky if I can make it from Ballston to Crystal City and back again without getting lost at least once.

I could have sworn there was an intersection of Glebe, South Glebe, and West Glebe somewhere down around the Birchmere . . . but, then again, I was heading out of the Birchmere after a fairly full evening when I made that discovery.

I know N. Glebe. I know S. Glebe. And I just mapquested Alexandria and found W. Glebe. The city planners must be so proud.

Everywhere around here takes forever to get to… I never thought I’d miss the streamlined by-ways of Orange County CA, but there you go.

Terps fans are locked in some kind of death-struggle with Hokies fans for general annoyingness. And I’d say that D&B’s is in the Bethesda – Rockville DMZ, but that’s me.

My favorite is where Wilson Blvd splits to Clarendon in a graceful double-helix of road-planning evil. Getting thrown off in that section caused the closest I’ve come to having a stroke, the fuckers.

But it’s still better than strapping a jerry can of gasoline to the car and heading out to Ashburn or Loudon’s outer reaches, like most of my colleague. I don’t see how looking at cows on the way home is a good thing.

DC Trojan,

How ’bout “The Mojo Trojan from MoCo”? Over time it could be shortened to “The Mojo from MoCo”. Has a nice ring to it.

Hmmm, perhaps “Scotchmo-Moco” in a tri-bute to your heritage, your new home and DEVO?

No? Ok, I’ll start running up the hill by my place looking for heavily armed Turkish troops.

Man, I can’t escape the inside-the-beltway, traffic, schools and directions DC metro chat even here!
Next time we’ll have to declare a formal threadjack!

SeaTrojan, I do like “Scotchmo-Moco.” It’s the shizzle. But if you’ve already defeated the forces of Mehmed V, can I have a fez?

NoVaDomer, it’s inescapable, but it’s no more or less boring than some of the Bama – Barner slap-fights.

Needs more weed.

I just had a conversation about this last night… I used to make the drive out to Ass-burn every day. I got used to the time in the car after a while and it wasn’t bad b/c the commute was opposite traffic, but I was spending nearly $200/month on gas. Mileage reimbursement my ass…

My favorite is where Wilson Blvd splits to Clarendon in a graceful double-helix of road-planning evil.

I’ve almost died there a few times myself. I am fully convinced that the overhead X’s to show which lanes are open just change at will to fuck with me.

Side note – N. Glebe, S. Glebe, and W. Glebe is all the same road. But W. Glebe is actually east of the other 2, so the whole thing remains very puzzling.

There’s only one Glebe Road – I think – but there are about thirty 22nd Streets. I’ve lived here for ~4 years and I still consider myself lucky if I can make it from Ballston to Crystal City and back again without getting lost at least once.

Glebe, Ballston (heh heh, she said Balls) and Crystal City?? I clearly haven’t spent enough time in Northern Virginia.

And until you can get to 42, you aren’t threatening Peachtree. I fucking turned on W Peachtree last night trying to get to The Fox to see Spamalot… Goddammit!

Go Pat Go!!!!! We’ve got a !st round NFL Draft Pick!!!!!!!

This article is SO irresponsible. Lazear did NOT take money out of the register at the Smoothie King. He drove the getaway car. Get it straight.

Here it is 2 and a half years later and not a peep out of Lazear. Seems that kids make mistakes, even huge ones and can still right the ship with guidance and positive influences.
