Texas Cheerleaders Give Rat Poison Laced Brownies To Rival Team

Parents of students on the dance team at a Texas high school allege members of a rival team prepared a gift of baked goods laced with rat poison and bleach. Exchanging gifts and pranks is a tradition among Texas high school dance and cheerleading teams before football games. But the parents from Andress High School in El Paso said putting poison and laxatives in brownies and cupcakes and giving them to unwitting rivals is well beyond a prank.

The Young Guns of NCAA Football

Who says experience is everything?

Maybe more than ever before, coaches are turning to the best player available rather than the oldest guy on the depth chart. This season, there are a number of young guns who are proving experience may not be the best factor when deciding who takes the snaps on Saturday afternoons.

Even at storied programs, the next in line is rarely the next in line. Over a dozen underclassmen are answering the call of duty this season and are amongst the nation’s best at the quarterback position. [Love of Sports]

FSU has not released the names of the student athletes involved, but it will surely damper the teams bowl hopes.

A source close to the situation says, “If the players fight the suspensions, they’ll risk losing all of their eligibility.”

This would not be the first time FSU players have been in trouble for cheating.

In September, two academic assistance employees who worked with FSU student-athletes resigned for giving test answers to 23 athletes.
