Football - Late to the Party

I know. I'm late in "reporting" that Reggie Ball and Kenny Scott have been ruled academically ineligible. I'm been working my fanny off since I have a REAL job, and this little site is just a little hobby of mine.


So with that, you want to know where my head is at on this? It is with Reggie Ball and Kenny Scott......... particularly Reggie. I really feel for that guy and I hope his head is in the right place. Let's remember what HE is going through - he just had the two worst games of his career at the most important time.................. He has the media and every website imaginable calling him the worst QB in college history.......................... He took his team to the ACC Championship game, yet nobody wants to give him an ounce of credit. They want to say we won despite Reggie ..................... Now he is ruled academically inelegible..................... Try and convince me that this isn't possibly the lowest point for Reggie Ball since arriving on campus in what is supposed to be our best season in awhile............. I can only hope and pray that his head is in the right place - that he is truly learning a life lesson, and not spiraling into some kind of depression.


This ending to Reggie and Kenny's careers is nothing short of tragic. Absolutely a sad footnote in these young men's lives and for all they have given to this school. So while 95% of you are either publicly or secretly jumping for joy that Reggie won't play, just remember the spirit of the STUDENT-Athlete. Just remember what that kid went through for 4 years in the public spotlight, all while trying to go to class at Tech. Anyone who's been there know's how tough it is if you're ONLY a student. Throw in public bashing and spotlight for 4 years. Wow. How many of you could handle that real well?............................... You know, after January 1, not hardly one of you will look back or ask about Reggie Ball - is he getting his degree, where will he go in life? You'll just focus on who next year's QB will be and the "next big thing".


Life lessons really stink. Tragic. Just tragic..........................
