On eve of championship game, QB viciously beaten by opposition players.
From the "WTF is wrong with people" department.
Link Winston-Salem State QB 'viciously' beaten by Virginia State players on eve of title game Rudy Johnson, the starting quarterback for the Rams, was 'viciously beaten' by members of the Virginia State team, Winston-Salem State Chancellor Donald Reaves said in a statement. The conference announced that the title game set for Saturday has been canceled. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Saturday, November 16, 2013, 10:48 AM Print Share This URL: Andrew Dye/AP Winston-Salem State quarterback Rudy Johnson was badly beaten during a luncheon for both teams on the eve of their conference championship game. CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - A bathroom fight Friday among football players from Winston-Salem State and Virginia State during a CIAA championship game luncheon left the WSSU quarterback beaten and charges filed against a player from the other team. The conference announced that the title game set for Saturday in Winston-Salem in North Carolina has been canceled. Rudy Johnson, the starting quarterback for the Rams, was “viciously beaten” by members of the Virginia State team, Winston-Salem State Chancellor Donald Reaves said in a statement. He said one Virginia State player admitted his role in the beating. School spokeswoman Nancy Young identified the suspect as 22-year-old Lamont Daniel Britt. A Forsyth County jail official says Britt, a running back from Portsmouth, Va., was being held there Friday night on a charge of misdemeanor assault inflicting serious injury. “There is no excuse for the behavior of the Virginia State players,” Reaves said. Young said Johnson was assaulted in the bathroom at the Anderson Conference Center on the Winston-Salem campus during the luncheon. Lauren Carroll/AP Winston-Salem State quarterback Rudy Johnson enters a magistrate's office on Friday holding ice on his right eye. “Today’s event was supposed to be a celebration for both teams and for all the players who were being recognized for an outstanding season,” Reaves said. “The actions from the Virginia State players certainly changed the outcome for everyone.” Virginia State Athletic Director Peggy Davis didn’t return a phone call seeking comment, but the school issued a statement on its website saying it is fully cooperating with the CIAA in its investigation and couldn’t comment further. Both Winston-Salem State Rams and Virginia State Trojans are 9-1. The Rams lost to Valdosta State in the NCAA Division II championship game last year, and both teams were in position to earn postseason berths this season. The Winston-Salem Journal reported that five Virginia State players were involved and Reaves said university police are trying to identify the others. One of Johnson’s teammates told the newspaper that “Rudy was beaten up bad and he can’t play.” A photo taken of Johnson shows him holding ice over his right eye. Lauren Carroll/AP Virginia State player Lamont Britt (r.) is escorted to a magistrate's office on Friday to face an assault charge. CIAA Commissioner Jacqie Carpenter lamented the loss of the championship weekend. The conference consists of 12 historically black colleges and universities in Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Virginia. “On the eve of such an important weekend for dozens of our student-athletes, many of whom have waited a lifetime for such a moment, we are left to focus instead on what might have been,” Carpenter said. “But the CIAA has long had policies to encourage responsible behavior, and must consider what is necessary to assure days like today are not repeated, ever,” she said. The conference volleyball championship, which also involved the two schools, was canceled as well. Johnson, a 6-2, 205-pound junior from San Diego, moved into the starting lineup in the second game. He has completed 150 of 239 passes for 2,076 yards and 22 touchdowns with five interceptions in his nine games. He’s also the team’s second-leading rusher with 420 yards and six rushing scores. Britt, a 5-foot-10, 205-pound sophomore, was Virginia State’s third-leading rusher with 276 yards and one touchdown on 63 carries. He also had seven catches for 78 yards on the year. Winston-Salem State was trying to become the first team in two decades to win three straight CIAA championships, the last being Hampton from 1992-94. The Rams have won 24 straight games against CIAA opponents. Virginia State and Winston-Salem State hadn’t played since 2003. |

The guys that called it a vicious beating. I think the kid is actually pretty tough. Had he not stood up for himself in that situation, he probably wouldn't have caught that ass whippin. As for a vicious beating, I posted one for you. Doesn't need to result in death, but its more than a swollen eye. |

It's obviously subjective. So I concede.
I'm sure this is vicious to some. It's not to me. Hence my pussy remark. |

Let me ask you this. What's stopping a coach from telling his player in a playoff game to helmet to helmet megatron . You may get fined but it will be worth it to we win? I don't know how you fail to see the difference. Did you see the cheap shots favre took and how it messed up his ankle? You really think that was in the spirit of the game? It was obvious what the saints were trying to do. It was cheating. So is beating up the other teams QB. |

I saw an interview with Brett Frafravre that he basically said he liked the thought of teams putting a bounty on his head. It gave him an even bigger ego. |

Clearly it's a subjective term, it just seems a bit over the top to me considering he just took a shot to the eye.

Maybe the quarterback shouldn't have peed on their shoes in the bathroom?

NW close to wrapping that thing up.
Sounds like that game was called off. The NW commentators mentioned it.

If you can't beat the other team, take their other player out. If you can't win a gold medal in figure skating, knee cap the favorite. Even with the Chiefs... This Sunday, one cheap shot to Peyton or to jamaal Charles could completely swing the game. A 15 yard penalty and a small fine is nothing if it knocks Peyton out and leads to a win. It makes me cringe that one cheap shot has that much ability to completely change a teams chance of winning and potentially crush a teams season. Something to think about. I'll close with this. If is college beating was about beating up a backup QB, would a forfeit even be in the conversation? No. It's only in the conversation because the opponent sabotaged the game by taking out the most important player. It is the same damn thing when you try to sabotage a game by trying to cripple a QB extracurricular to normal football. |
