OMG Football Player Snowball Fight
Just saw Denard get chased down by a dude with a snowball in the South Quad basement.
Denard and 2 other guys came into the basement, and Denard says to them 'he's coming, we have to get out of here'. A fourth guy (may have been another player - looked kind of like Roh perhaps?) comes running in with a snowball. Denard and Co. book it through the opposite door, and he chases, and then books it back the other direction 30 seconds later without a snowball.
No reports as to whether or not he scored a hit.
[Edit: was told to make the name more exciting.]

Is Shoelace actually throwing snowballs, or is he just running with them?

Snowballs, thoroughbred horses, Formula 1 racecars, light....Denard can and does race anything.

Don't let the Freep get a hold of this story.

To recap, the main football culprits were Big Will, Lewan, Denard, and Fitz. Big Will was half-naked, dancing, tackling fools, doin' it Big Willy Style.
Denard had the burners out but needs to work on the arm strength. Seriously, poor Denard, poor.
Fitz walked up to a small girl and promptly nailed her in the face.
Not as big as last year, the fire alarms didn't get pulled so it wasn't 1000 on 1000. West Quad was fucking ruthless, and dominated for most of the first hour and a half, but South Quad won the war of attrition, eventually storming through the West Quad gate and taking the courtyard. A DPS officer on site declared it a South Quad victory.
Revenge of the fucking nerds!

They were always in South Quad for the longest time "back in the day." Football and basketball players were in South, most all the other athletes were in West. Interesting to see how things change.

My understanding is that it's the opposite now. Football players are in West Quad, and the others are in South Quad. I participated in last year's snowball fight (West Quad crushed South Quad as usual), and the baseball players from South Quad were bombing snowballs from all the way across the street.

Actually, there are no longer requirements for freshman football players to live in the dorms. Tate lives in a house, I know that for a fact. Most of the other guys do live in the dorms, though - Roh, Lewan, Washington, Robinson, Campbell, etc.

last January... then it becomes an option. Otherwise, those who come in August frosh in dorms.

Since my first year (05-06), the football players have been in West. I know because during the 06 snowball fight, I made the mistake of hitting one in the head. I was later powerbombed into the half-snow, half-concrete. Assault? Sure, but I was having waaaaay too much fun to care.

Put your heavy artillery (baseball players) in the rear, heavy cavalry (football players) in the front and sides, execute a flanking manuever with heavy fire in the front middle to draw attention, and watch nerd/Long Island chick carnage ensue.
My one year in Bursley (96) we had a big snowball fight after classes that spilled over on to the North Campus diag. Ended up looking like a lame version of Braveheart with 150 freshman nerds on top of the hill overlooking the North Campus commons parking lot full of foreign grad students and architecture majors and a mad charge down the hill that would have made Pickett proud.
