A good thread going on at the Dirt Burglars site. Surprise...Surprise. :dude:

Just a reminder that our culture change is working (fingers crossed). I remember most all of these players.

A glance at the past... :eyes: :boohoo:

I didn’t read the article but besides Riley I immediately thought of the assault / battery with a dangerous weapon trio of Mikey Henderson, Seth McGowan, and Trajan Bridges.

Didn’t we have a linebacker from Vegas that stuck a screwdriver in his girlfriends neck before he ever made it to campus? He would be pretty high too.

I wouldn’t count guys who never made it to campus in such a list—but I’m biased!

...the one image stuck in my mind is Charles Thompson on the cover of Sports Illustrated in his orange jumpsuit.

Kid might've been one of the all time great wishbone qb's, but decided to be a "gangsta drug dealer" instead. What a waste of genuine talent. :cool:
