My hope is that this doesn't become a trend, and we see more student athletes expelling bodily fluids as a means to distract opponents at the line. The more creative athletes get, the more graphic things could eventually be.

Virginia Tech's Dorenzo Hudson puked last night (it's nearly impossible to see in the video below, but he's the guy standing to the left of the shooter, and you'll notice some puke on his jersey  in the photo to the right) while Maryland's Josh McAlpin was at the free-throw line. 

The DC Sports Bog's Dan Steinberg was there, and there's not another writer in the world I'd have rather had there to cover this story than Steinz:

"I got a whiff of it," confirmed Maryland fan Russ Dlin, seated in the front row. "It smelled like puke, is what it smelled like."

Others were more descriptive, and again, feel free to look away.

"I thought he got hit by a drink," said Gary Harraka, also from the front row. "It just went squirting out. It was pretty disgusting."

"He was going into his shirt, but it was still flying up," said senior Greg Weller.

"He was holding his mouth and it sprayed up in the air," said senior Dan O'Keefe.

"It sprayed at least two feet in the air," agreed senior Clark Johnson.

"That was mostly liquid, though," Weller chimed in. "First he blew out mostly chunks right there, then when he started covering up it started deflecting off his shirt."

If this had happened at an NBA game, there'd be no way we'd get descriptions that good from the courtside fans. There are some things that college kids are just better suited to analyze.
