The Writing is On The Wall

It is on the floor and the ceiling too. Time to say good night to the Jim Baron era in Kingston RI.

His welcome first wore out back in 2004, then again in 2005 and pretty much every disappointing February and March since. Just when we thought we were stuck with four more years of an overrated father/son combo, the former retaining his job through some sort of reverse nepotism, it looks like the youngest Baron is off to play with the big boys in the ACC.

According to the Projo and Scouts.com, Billy Baron is considering or has already accepted a scholarship to play for Virginia in the fall of 2010. Coach Baron has acknowledged as much saying when the ACC comes calling, you have to listen. It's safe to say that is not a problem the elder Baron will have in the near future...or ever.

Since Jim Baron is an employee of the school, Billy never had to sign a letter of intent to play for the Rams making the Virginia decision a litte easier.

It has always been my belief that JB Sr maintained his job during the middle of the decade due to the prominence of JB Jr who almost single handidly put URI in Lunardi's bubble watch year in and year out before Sr destroyed it. When rumor had Billy coming to campus, it looked as if the Rams were back to square one. Now that he's taking his game (which isn't half bad, 3 star recruit, 37th best PG in his class), it's time his father packed up the moving van and moved along with him...not to coach of course, that would be crazy. But it sure would be nice seeing a familiar face in the stands as Duke wipes the floor with the Cav's over the next four years.

Virginia Man On Trial For Being Naked In His Home

"A Virginia man is scheduled to go on trial for indecent exposure Friday after police say he stood naked inside his house as a 7-year-old boy and his mother walked by.

The mother and child allegedly observed the defendant, Erick Williamson, first through a doorway and again through a window that had no drapes, MyFoxDC reported.

Williamson, the father of a 5-year-old, said he was in the confines of his home and should be allowed to be naked there. Police said he made a point of making himself visible to the pair as they walked to school along a path outside his home.

Williamson denied the allegations, saying he's not an exhibitionist and didn't know people could see him in his kitchen, MyFoxDc reported (FoxNews)."

This is fucking retarded. The guy is in his own home. If he wants to walk around naked he can do that. Why? Because it is his fucking house and he can do whatever he wants. People take this shit too far, and I really hope this case gets thrown out.

Oh by the way, that is not a picture of him. HAHA, just cracked me up...

BC underrated or just over achieving?

Is it a shock that BC is once again in the ACC championship or just by default? To be quite honest BC is a roster full of no names on offense but the defense is where they excel. Personally, Ive never been a fan of the Eagles, and I have no idea who is good on the offensive end besides O-linemen whose names are really irrelevant to me as a fan. But my ignorance of anything BC football is really a testament to the coaching in Chestnut Hill. Whether it be Crane or Davis under center they seem to just get it done. What has stuck out to me the last few times I have watched this team is their D, which should be no surprise because they continuously are year in and year out are among the top in the country. Regardless, are they that good or does the ACC just suck. Its not obvious to see that the ACC isnt as prominent as it once was amongst college football. The U sucks, and probably will never amount to anything other than creating stud defensive prospects who dont win anything but a large pay check after their less than spectacular team performance in college. VA Tech is always intriguing because of their system is so well run. Virgina tends to have the nack for the occasional upset, usually at the expense of the Hookies. UNC has become a nice surprise, eventually they would get some recognition other than producing Julius Peppers and Micheal Curry. Every other team isnt worth mentioning because frankly who cares about Duke or Wake Forest?
