From the Blog ‘Deadspin’

jorgereyes.jpg‘This is Jorge Reyes, the Most Outstanding Player of last year’s College World Series for the Oregon State Beavers. The Beavers are the two-time defending national champions, and they kind of rule the roost a bit over there. They also like to just randomly fire weaponry on campus. Hey, sometimes you get bored.

Apparently, Reyes and a couple teammates thought it would be fun to just shoot soda cans in their backyards. That’s all fine and good but, you know, Oregon State is a campus, not a hidden wooded area. There are other people there.

One of seven students who lives in the house on the other side of the fence, said two of the bullets lodged in an outside wall but one went through his bedroom window. Three more bullets hit a car parked in front of the same window.

“One shot went through my bedroom window, ricocheted off the wall and landed on my bed,” Bodtker told the Gazette-Times.

For this, two players, including Reyes, have been suspended for the weekend series. Good thing they didn’t hit anybody: They might [have] missed a whole week!’

    Stories like this make me wish for a Galooly in college sports.

    This is simply a variation of Prof. Harold Hill’s "Think Method." While firing the rifle, young Jorge is visualizing his fastballs.

Sure, it's pricey.

But remind me how much money you've paid me over the last four years while I've been sweating out this blog. Plus there's stuff about universities in our book, which could have come right out of University Diaries.
