Poin files: Jack Jouett Ride or Tits from Tat

From my neck of the woods. Science teacher with stints at various area high schools and middle schools. Also a soccer coach.

Ex-ACPS teacher accused of sexual activity with an underage student


Perhaps Big Circus or Cosmo may know, wife of former UVa player and Liberty assistant Solomon Tat?

 

From a quick perusal of Facebook, yeah, that's his wife.

That sucks. Solomon was a nice dude. One of the all-time mind-boggling recruiting decisions in ACC history - the dude had the body of a Greek god, but couldn't dribble without looking at the ball when he got to UVA - but a nice dude.

 

Yeah, always heard good things about him. I figured there couldn't be too many Tats around Charlottesville and Lynchburg.

 

The linked story is seriously lacking in sordid details. When is the Daily Mail version available?

 

Unfortunately all the local outlets are running the same press release. We need some solid reporting.

 

At least let's get some video of some TV talking head knocking at the door while the people inside refuse to answer. That's one of my favorite tings about TV news.

 

Oh man, this is in MY neck of the woods.

In fact, this part is funny as hell to me: "three felony counts of carnal knowledge of a minor — two counts in Albemarle, one in Lynchburg".

First, holy cow, CARNAL KNOWLEDGE. There is something I have always loved about those two words. I was forced to go to church too much as a kid, and, well, carnal knowledge always sounded GOOD to me. Yeah, give me some of that.

But second - LYNCHBURG. That is JERRY FALWELL land. No wonder she was charged with a crime of biblical proportions of carnal knowledge.

Third. Nelson. Team names there are the Governors. What a shitty team name. Never had a mascot to my knowledge.

Fourth, The Daily Progress. LOL. Yeah, that's some in depth reporting for you. We always called it The Daily Regress.

 

Hey now, some of us have worked there!

 

And if nothing else we can get a revolutionary era history lesson out of this. The middle school she worked at was Jack Jouett, named after the "Paul Revere of the South" who woke up on the lawn of a tavern in the middle of the night and saw the Brittish Calvary heading toward Charlottesville. He rode ahead and warned Jefferson to allow the unprotected Virginia legislature to escape.

The legislature scattered then met up in Staunton a few days later to make Thomas Nelson the governor replacing Jefferson, hence the Nelson County High School Governors.

 

I am ashamed to say I learned something tonight. Great posts, Jake!

 

Obligatory "I blame soccer" post. Carry on.

 

And Ruben.
