JET SKI 1, VINCE HALL 0
Virginia Tech standout Vince Hall may miss the Orange Bowl thanks to one of Florida’s greatest nuisances outside of lovebugs, sandspurs, and those pesky hotel rapists all over the place: jetskis.
Some innocent horseplay on a personal watercraft in the Atlantic Ocean could result in Virginia Tech being without standout senior linebacker Vince Hall in Thursday night’s Orange Bowl.
That’s according to the Roanoke Times, who list Hall as “questionable for the game against Kansas tonight. There’s nothing funny about jet-skis: they’re loud, horrible creations that light beer-fueled yahoos run into the side of boats all the time while flashing the shocker to their friends on shore. (RUMSFELD!) There’s also nothing funny about Virginia Tech losing Hall for the game due to a stupid injury, especially with midget manipulator Todd Reesing given a tiny weakness to work with in the Tech D.
At least this didn’t happen to Hall on a jet-ski:
See? YOU CAN’T EVEN OUTRUN A MEGALODON WITH A JET-SKI. This is why lifeguards need their own rocket launchers, along with all the terrorists and killer sharks, that is.

Am I the only person who’s never been on a jet ski? We were taught as children that they were evil, and they are.

At least Hall didn’t run out of gas and had to swim back to shore like Deon Butler did a couple of years ago.

I propose little black jet ski stickers on the back of their helmets…

Orson,
You’re dating yourself by using the term “jet ski”. That’s soooooo 1985. Maybe he rode a “3 wheeler”, too?
It’s a personal watercraft now.

That may be the greatest piece of video . . . ever. So many layers of badness . . .

What is it with ACC football players and jet skis? Perhaps mandatory personal watercraft safety courses are in order.

Here’s my question ? Does Beamer’s goiter count as a floatation device, or does he still have to wear a life preserver ?

You mean Jenkins? I think it has to wear a PFD itself. More importantly, does burn scar tissue need a relatively lower SPF lotion?

Scalz1 @ 13:
Thanks for that emotional reminder. How is it that, emotionally speaking of course, there was any emotional emotion left to give?
New tshirt in order? I will give my all to PWC today!

The lunchbox is safe. To help ease your mind, they’ll show it to you 7,348 times tonight.
Also, that is the greatest movie ever. Since there’s no real football on this weekend, everyone needs to drink and rent Shark Attack 3: Megaladon.
