IsThere A Prize For The Three Stupidest College Football Players?

If these guys are guilty and they did what they've been accused of, they would win, hands down (or hands up, in this case). Have they blown great futures in football and potential NFL earnings? Probably not. They probably didn't have great futures. They're just three thugs who've been masquerading as students on a university campus that currently requires a 26 on the ACT for admittance. Yes, they're big strappin' boys, each of whom has been given a great opportunity to succeed based solely on his physical talent, not on his mental prowess. But, using good judgement? Making good choices? Those weren't part of this deal.
And speaking of DEALS...THREE THINGS I'd be willing to bet on:
1. Drugs were the motivation for the attempted armed robbery.
2. These boys didn't just start down the wrong path when they came to college. They were already on it before they got there.
3. They couldn't score a 26 on the ACT if it hair-lipped Jesus.
Furthermore, they don't get their kicks running through the T in Neyland Stadium in front of a hundred thousand cheering fans. They get their kicks in other ways.

"They were just young and restless and bored
Living by the sword
And they'd steal away every chance they could
To the backroom, the alley, the trusty woods." ..."Night Moves" Bob Seger

Update: And speaking of Jesus, at least one of the three "players" decided to walk with him instead of the devil, for a while at least. From what I've read, it's touched more than a few people's hearts. Maybe he ain't so dumb after all.
