ATTLEBORO, Mass. -- In the final minutes of his life, Odin Lloyd sent a series of texts to his sister. "Did you see who I was with?" said the first, at 3:07 a.m. June 17. "Who?" she finally replied. "NFL," he texted back, then added: "Just so you know." It was 3:23 a.m. Moments later, Lloyd would be dead in what a prosecutor called an execution-style shooting orchestrated by New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez because his friend talked to the wrong people at a nightclub. Hernandez was charged Wednesday with murder. Hernandez was cut from the NFL team less than two hours after he was arrested and led from his North Attleborough home in handcuffs, and nine days after Lloyds body was discovered by a jogger in a remote area of an industrial park not far from Hernandezs home. The 2011 Pro Bowl selection had signed a five-year contract last summer with the Patriots worth $40 million. His lawyer, Michael Fee, called the case circumstantial during a Wednesday afternoon court hearing packed with news reporters, curiosity seekers and police officers. Fee said there was a "rather hysterical atmosphere" surrounding the case and urged the judge to disregard his clients celebrity status as he asked for Hernandez, 23, to be released on bail. The judge, though, ordered Hernandez held without bail on the murder charge and five weapons counts. If convicted, Hernandez could get life in prison without parole. Hernandez stood impassively with his hands cuffed in front of him as Bristol County Assistant District Attorney Bill McCauley laid out a detailed timeline of the events, cobbled together from sources including witnesses, surveillance video, text messages and data from cellphone towers. Lloyd, 27, a semi-pro football player with the Boston Bandits, had known Hernandez about a year and was dating the sister of Hernandezs fiancee, the mother of Hernandezs 8-month-old baby, McCauley said. On June 14, Lloyd went with Hernandez to a Boston club, Rumor. McCauley said Hernandez was upset Lloyd had talked to people there with whom Hernandez had trouble. He did not elaborate. Two days later, McCauley said, on June 16, Hernandez texted two unidentified friends. He asked them to hurry to Massachusetts from Connecticut. At 9:05 p.m., a few minutes after the first message to his friends, Hernandez texted Lloyd, telling him he wanted to get together, McCauley said. Later, surveillance footage from Hernandezs home showed his friends arrive and go inside. Hernandez, holding a gun, then told someone in the house he was upset and couldnt trust anyone anymore, the prosecutor said. At 1:12 a.m., the three left in Hernandezs rented silver Nissan Altima, McCauley said. Cell towers tracked their movements to a gas station off the highway. There, he said, Hernandez bought blue Bubblicious cotton candy gum. At 2:32 a.m., they arrived outside Lloyds home in Boston and texted him that they were there. McCauley said Lloyds sister saw him get into Hernandezs car. From there, surveillance cameras captured images of what the prosecutor said was Hernandez driving the silver Altima through the city of Boston. As they drove back toward North Attleborough, Hernandez told Lloyd he was upset about what happened at the club and didnt trust him, McCauley said. That was when Lloyd began sending texts to his sister. Surveillance video showed the car entering the industrial park and at 3:23 a.m. driving down a gravel road near where Lloyds body was found. Four minutes later, McCauley said, the car emerges. During that period, employees working an overnight shift nearby heard several gunshots, McCauley said. McCauley said Lloyd was shot multiple times, including twice from above as he was lying on the ground. He said five .45 calibre casings were found at the scene. Authorities did not say who fired the shots or identify the two others with Hernandez. At 3:29 a.m., surveillance at Hernandezs house shows him arriving, McCauley said. "The defendant was walking through the house with a gun in his hand. Thats captured on video," he said. His friend is also seen holding a gun, and neither weapon has been found, McCauley said. Then, the surveillance system stopped recording, and footage was missing from the six to eight hours after the slaying, he said. The afternoon of June 17, the prosecutor said, Hernandez returned the rental car, offering the attendant a piece of blue Bubblicious gum when he dropped it off. While cleaning the car, the attendant found a piece of blue Bubblicious gum and a shell casing, which he threw away. Police later searched the trash bin and found the gum and the casing. The prosecutor said it was tested and matched the casings found where Lloyd was killed. As McCauley outlined the killing, Lloyds family members cried and held each other, and two were so overcome that they had to leave the courtroom. The Patriots said in a written statement after Hernandezs arrest but before the murder charge was announced that cutting Hernandez was "the right thing to do." "Words cannot express the disappointment we feel knowing that one of our players was arrested as a result of this investigation," it said. Hernandez, originally from Bristol, Conn., was drafted by the Patriots in 2010 out of the University of Florida, where he was an All-American. During the draft, one team said it wouldnt take him under any circumstances, and he was passed over by one club after another before New England picked him in the fourth round. Afterward, Hernandez said he had failed a drug test in college -- reportedly for marijuana -- and was up front with teams about it. A Florida man filed a lawsuit last week claiming Hernandez shot him in the face after they argued at a strip club in February. Hernandez became a father on Nov. 6 and said he intended to change his ways: "Now, another one is looking up to me. I cant just be young and reckless Aaron no more. Im going to try to do the right things." Cheap Air Max 97 Rose China .

MANHATTAN, Kan. -- Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, an era Kansas State fans reverentially refer to as their decade of dominance, the Wildcats routinely competed for Big 12 titles thanks to their defense.They were tough. They were talented. They were stingy.They were a lot like this years bunch.Through the first three weeks of the season, the Wildcats (2-1) rank at or near the top of just about every defensive statistical category in major college football. They have allowed just seven points to their last two opponents -- though in fairness, Saturday nights game against Missouri State was called at halftime due to lightning -- and have held all three opponents to 300 yards or less.In the points-a-plenty Big 12, the Wildcats are a rarity.A lot of guys are hungry, explained Kansas State linebacker Elijah Lee, one of the veteran leaders of the defense. Were trying to race each other to the tackle and see who can get there. Just playing with that chip on us makes us a lot faster.Its hardly a surprise the Wildcats have a chip on their shoulder.Just last year, they allowed more than 30 points a game, tied with Texas for 90th in the Football Bowl Subdivision. They gave up 159.4 yards on the ground and 283.1 through the air.Injuries did not help: Top safety Dante Barnett missed almost the entire year , and several other key contributors were forced to watch big chunks of the season from the sideline.Theyre almost all back, and youngsters pressed into service have a year of experience now. And the results were better from the start, when Kansas State held high-powered Stanford in check in a Week 1 road game against Heisman Trophy candidate Christian McCaffery and Co.McCaffery managed 126 yards rushing, but he had to work for it. And the unbeaten Cardinal only had 167 yards passing and mustered nine points in the second half of their 26-13 victory.Florida Atlantic gained 216 yards against Kansas State two weeks ago, turning the ball over four times and converting 1 of 13 third downs in a 63-7 romp. And in the half played against Missouri State on Saturdayy night, the Bears completed three passes and gained 54 yards.ddddddddddddI do not look at the statistics, only when the season is over, Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said recently, but just based on the assessment and evaluation of where we are right now, I would say yes, we are an improved defensive football team from last year.Well, here are the statistics: Kansas State has allowed 537 yards through three games, best in major college football. They are first in yards passing at 106.7 per game, fourth in points allowed with 33, and tied for sixth with Boise State in yards rushing at 72.3 per game.But leave it to Snyder to put even the most glowing of marks in perspective.That would speak very negatively of us as coaches if we were not (better), he said, considering the fact we have a good deal of experience coming back as well. Ive said so many times, experience is a major factor, whether it is good experience or not, and some of it last year was not.Remember, that was a team that allowed at least 33 points four consecutive weeks, beginning with a triple-overtime win over Louisiana Tech. Its also a team that lost 55-0 to Oklahoma at home and surrendered a dizzying amount of offense in a 59-44 loss at Texas Tech.We have been doing a pretty good job at this point, Kansas State defensive end Jordan Willis said, but its a matter of my teammates and I keeping it up going forward. Once our attitude is set and we get ready to go, it will be tough to play against us.The Wildcats get their first real test since Stanford on Saturday, when they open Big 12 play at West Virginia. Mountaineers quarterback Skylar Howard has thrown for nearly 1,000 yards and six touchdowns while helping his team to a 3-0 start.Then again, perhaps the Wildcats will be the first real test of the season for him.We still have little things to iron out before we get in to league play, Lee said, and that is something we are going to take day-by-day this week.
