RE: Thorpe
I've never been a huge supporter of JT, but it's a little unfair he's being compared to Rascati (National Championship), Landers (possibly the most exciting JMU football player ever), and Dudzik (beat VT). It's hard to give him credit for being anything other than mediocre when you compare his accomplishments to theirs.

That being said, he's a JMU alum, so I wish him the best.

It is true what everyone else writes about you on this board. Note to all posters - please never disagree with Longhorn - he will proceed to moan and groan and throw out idiotic responses sort of like a small child. Oh now I see why you like JT so much. I doubt you see anything wrong with his behavior as a team leader and captain as you act quite childish yourself.

Go get you nap and you will feel better in a few hours. Everyone knows how small children get when they don't take their naps, so I won't hold it against you.

If you think hes being childish, try not responding. You sound as childish as what you are accusing him of.

Both well said. It seems others are not satisfied with just stabbing someone, they want to twist the knife as well. He never turned into the QB many expected and made some mistakes but in the end got a degree (something many others do not in his circumstances). I hope he has learned from his time at JMU and lives a successful life as an alum.

Wow. Must be open doucheisness season.

Are those CAA boards still open?

The guy isn't even on campus any longer and some interwebs tough guys still feel the need to run him down.

He's a fellow JMU grad who made some mistakes while there. who amongst us didn't? Give it, and him, a rest.

RE: Thorpe
All I am doing is stating an opinion backed up by his own poor decisions and behavior. Sorry everyone on here seems to want to apologize for a guy that was given a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th opportunity at JMU. And after each 2nd chance he was given based on his athletic ability he tossed it away. I am not about to apologize for saying good riddance to a player like that. He was a player that created creates unwanted drama, division in the locker room and tension. It is simply better than he is no longer in the football program.

It is a good thing that Jace Edwards is no longer in the program as well - he was another knucklehead that let his teammates down based on off the field behavior. Are y'all his personal cheerleaders as well.

Sorry but actions have consequences and that is a lesson some folks have to learn the hard way.

I guess I am just old school in that I will give you respect, but once your actions dictate you lose my respect it is hard to earn it back.

I don't care that he is a fellow Duke, JT has still lost my respect based upon his on actions and at some point it is no longer just an isolated incident but a pattern of behavior.

Peter Rose came to JMU with some baggage but by all accounts has not had any incidents while enrolled at JMU. Peter Rose has my respect and seems to understand what it means to get a 2nd chance.

Nice. That's just as sh!tty and uncalled for as it could be. SMDH.

Is it really as "uncalled for as it could be?" It was just the first thought that came into my head. Team leader/captain couldn't give up the pot? Wasn't just an isolated incident... Team depended on him. I am happy to not have him back for sixth year. Not necessarily want to see bad things happen to him at VSU, but I was just trying to be a bit funny.
Sad to say but MJ is a heavy part of college experience. Go look at college drug arrests records and you will be surprised. MJ and alcohol are drugs that cause addictive behavior for everyone.

When I saw him play I thought he was pretty damn good. Much better Passer than Rodney Landers. And he showed up.

Let the man go to VSU in peace , as fans we shouldn't ridicule young men for mistakes they can correct on their path to adulthood.

Ha , so you want 90 perfect stand up citizens that have tremendous athletic ability from different backgrounds on the east coast.,...........as a coach dealing with teen you have to expect some mistakes.

I don't expect them to be perfect but do expect them to learn from mistakes and realize actions come with consequences. And let's not fool ourselves JT was not a teen......he was a 5th year senior which makes him about 23. He was not a wet behind the ears teenager leaving home for the first time.

Yes , but when it comes to drugs and alcohol those are addiction saw that many people need help for. He shouldn't be made fun of just because he is the starting QB of your favorite college.

NFL still has its 1% of alcohol and MJ problems . Lol

Oh, I must have forgotten who I was exchanging posts with...my apologies God.

It is true what everyone else writes about you on this board. Note to all posters - please never disagree with Longhorn - he will proceed to moan and groan and throw out idiotic responses sort of like a small child. Oh now I see why you like JT so much. I doubt you see anything wrong with his behavior as a team leader and captain as you act quite childish yourself.

Go get you nap and you will feel better in a few hours. Everyone knows how small children get when they don't take their naps, so I won't hold it against you.

You're entitled to your opinion of course, but when you write statements that come across as "holier than thou" while denigrating the character of a JMU athlete expect to be called out.

Your running commentary on JT is offensive, and the rest of your effort to deflect being held responsible for it by casting aspersions on my character is just childish blather.

The question is, why?

Who gives a rip? You think these are new revelations that no one on here has read and re-read and had it rehashed 10 bazillion times? No one is apologizing for anything or anybody, it's just, literally, year old news.

It's over. But apparently for you it isn't. Whatever personal bone you have to pick with Thorpe is your hang up, not ours or mine. If you feel the need to further bash the guy, I'm sure VSU has a message board, have at it. He's their guy now. Or better, look him up in their student guide, VSU.EDU , drop him a note to tell him how disgusted and obsessed you are with what he did over a year ago.

Me? I wish him well, hope he has a successful season with his new squad and hope that somewhere down the road he looks back at his time at JMU with some modicum of fondness.
