Thinking back to the 4400 Club, Steve and crew were always throwing people out by the seat of their pants. Remember a couple of guys who's feet didn't touch the ground till they hit the street. Edge just needs bigger bouncers. Lol.

Steve, then and now!.

Steve has put on some weight, but looks to be about 45 in both pictures.

Top pic was in 1984 so he was still in his 30s I will ask him what his age is in the second pic

Does he still have a temper?

After graduating in 79 I lived in an apartment on 44th st. across from the house where he lived. One morning I was going to work and there he was fuming with a Norfolk cop, while his Jeep sat on blocks with all the wheels missing. He was pacing like an angry bull (who wouldn't in this situation?) saying things while the cop was trying to calm him down.

Was he still rooming with Ira then? I don't remember what he had after the dark green Jeep Renegade. He sold that to "Disco" Bob Wagner who promptly went off road and literally snapped the frame in half.
I thought that was in 1978, but maybe not.

In any event, I had stopped going to 4400 by 1980, but I still remained friends with some of the regulars/employees.

Member's only jacket sighting.

I used to be a bouncer there. Hands down one of the worst jobs of my life. Especially at 3:30AM when we were cleaning up the place and watching the bartenders count all of their tips.

You know, as I think about it, he didn't have much of a temper at all. I only saw him "get into it" one time, and that was when someone jumped on his back first.

Give the environment. that was pretty damn good.

steve had a summer time fling with my best friends mom when we were 15. Steve would always packed the refig with beer when he came over and as soon as they went upstairs we'd drink all his beer.

I'm trying to figure out what's going in this picture. Why is there a rake and what looks to be a giant present wrapped in Popeye the sailor man wrapping paper?

More info to come on Derek on Tuesday.

Transferring out is the unconfirmed rumor I'm hearing.

Well that would truly suck for both Wilders. Hope it's not to some powerhouse SEC team in need of an assistant.

I am going to guess he goes FCS. William and Mary? He has already redshirted, he would have to sit out another year if he transferred to another FBS team. His brother Drew plays for Jamestown High and I think his mom lives in Williamsburg. Just a guess. I do feel bad for Bobby.

If you are suggesting Wilder would go be an assistant coach, that is very doubtful. Also, what SEC team is gonna take Derek?

I must have missed something along the way. Mrs. Wilder and Derek's brother live in Williamsburg?

Derek plays for Jamestown High School in Williamsburg. Pam's twitter says she lives in Williamsburg.

He must have transferred (Drew) or moved to Williamsburg recently or at the end of the 2016 School year. I found highlights from June 6 2016 when Drew was at Norfolk Academy.

Wonder with Wilders home life in the crapper if he becomes less connected to the program and jumps ship at the next available chance

IF he's separated and IF his 2 boys play ball elsewhere, there certainly wouldn't be a family component to staying put, but I doubt he jumps at "the next available chance". He's still building a legacy here. I say 2-3 years max and he's gone.

Bad assumption. They have two houses and she sells real estate in Williamsburg. They wanted him a Jamestown because it has good football and strong academics.
