Quadruple amputee cornhole player fatally shoots man, authorities say

A county sheriff's office in Maryland said Monday that a professional cornhole player who is also a quadruple amputee fatally shot a passenger in the front seat of a car he was driving during an argument.

Dayton James Webber, 27, was arrested and charged as a fugitive from justice by police in Albemarle County, Virginia, the Charles County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

Webber was profiled by ESPN in 2023. According to his parents, doctors amputated his arms and legs when he was 10 months old to save his life after he contracted a blood infection that led to sepsis.

Webber went on to become a professional player of cornhole, a game in which players throw bean bags through a hole in a slanted wooden board to score points.

I wondered how a quadruple amputee could shoot a gun while operating a car, let alone play cornhole.

Well, apparently he can:

Any guesses on whether OSU having smaller freshman classes will have a ripple effect on other Ohio universities? Basically, will OSU taking fewer kids help some of the other schools bump up their enrollment numbers?
It should. Of course some of them will opt for a branch campus and wait their turn, but there should be some trickle down of more kids who don't get into OSU being available for Fredo, OU, UC and the others. We should actually cut a deal with them to get some things we want in return for freeing up a thousand kids for the system to absorb.

The 9K class was essentially admissions underestimating what our yield would be right after COVID and dipping a bit lower into the applicant pool to compensate. As it turned out, yield held steady so we ended up with an additional thousand kids. Still, the freshman class profile stayed the same--didn't improve but at least held steady. With the drop down to 8300, it once again showed a steady rise. At 7500 or below, we should put some space between us and Wiscy and Illinois lagging only behind Northwestern, tcun, UCLA and USC in admissions selectivity.

I think he'll be much more interested in moving the university forward academically than Slapshot was. I don't blame Slapshot for that 9K freshman class (and he did get it down to around 8300 last year), but that needs to continue. Cut the acceptance rate from 50% to 40% over the next couple of years and get freshman classes into the 7000-7500 range.
