GRUNK
KNUCK IF YOU GRUNK
Grunkowski!!
A QB with 70% completion percentage in a Hokie uniform? And he took Indiana to the brink with a 81.2 QBR?
This is a new era in VT football. He should be setting records. If he can keep his completion percentage within 5% of his 69% he achieved in 2025, he will topple J. Evans record at 63.5%. VT has never seen a completion percentage close to what Grunkenmeyer put up last year.
We really need to get the O-line to keep him upright, but that seems to be in the works for 2026.
Go Hokies!
EDIT: Instead of sleeping, I decided to watch some PSU condensed games. If Grunkenmeyer is in fact coming to the Hokies, we should be ecstatic. He excels at short and middle-third intermediate/deep passes. His short game is elite, he is really good at quickly getting the ball out of his hands and on target. For intermediate/deep, he is really good in the at finding soft spots in zones on crossing routes and seam routes and fitting a tight throw. With the right scheme, pass-catching TEs should flourish (Maybe its good to have a TE coach as OC?). He is also pretty accurate with a nice tight spiral, so if WR drops are a problem in 2026, it is a WR issue. Some negatives: I didn't see him attempt any out routes or WR go routes (not sure if that is scheme, WR talent issue, or what). He is not an elite runner, so don't expect much as runner. He isn't super shifty when pressured, but he is good at finding and accurately connecting with a safety valve.
And he has 3 years of eligibility (not sure how much that really matters in the portal era, but hopefully it means 3 years of 70% pass accuracy).
One thing to watch out in the coming years is Franklin's ability to retain talent against the portal. I would like to believe, seeing how successful he is as a recruiter, that he'll do well (though I'm sure we'll still lose some folks due to the nature of the business).
This is the kind of upgrade VT desperately needs.
In Franklin we trust.
Grunk me up with all of this news lately
Mrs MattBoard is a Penn St fan. This might be bad news for me but good news for the Hokies.
I hope you all appreciate the sacrifice I'm making for the team here.
I think the damage was already done there.
It's GOOD news for you.
Perhaps Mrs MattBoard will appreciate VT more...
Remember, part of your job is to win her over...
Your happiness helps with her happiness, therefore, she should be excited. At least he didn't go to like Pitt
This in fantastic news.
This is some Grunkin good news!
Grunken Gonuts!
PRAISE PORTAL
3 years of eligibility is perfect. Gives him a chance to build a team with all of the young talent.
Is that still a thing in the portal era?
I would argue it's the only thing in the portal era. Well, that and MONEY.
Well, guess I meant building a team in the traditional sense - develop players, gel, become a cohesive unit - not plug and play as many pieces as you can from year to year
Oh, I got it. I just think those days are gone, at least when trying to rebuild a moribund program.
I wanted him over Pribula or Kromenhoek.
Still need another QB for the two-deep.
We're going to need a backup QB. I wonder who we're targeting for that, and who would want to come here if Grunk commits?
That's not a reason not to take him, not at all. I think Grunk is the best QB on the market for what we're looking to run (dropback, accurate passer with good field vision and timing).
Excited to see him in O&M.
Edit: I don't see Pribula as a candidate here, as I don't see us paying for two starters, even though Pribula only has one year of eligibility left.
GRUCKENMILLER!
Film review on Grunk en route
Is this going to be the most misspelled player name of 2026?
It's spelled "E-T-H-A-N".
It's almost as easy as "Kevin".
Why did you feel the need to say kevin is spelled like kevin?
Because it is not spelled like G-r-u-n-k-e-m-e-y-e-r.
Yup. Just remember, there's no "n" between the "Grunk" and the "meyer"
But there is that pesky "e". Does that make the "u" a long vowel sound - like ewww? Seems Dutch.
Just a big ol fuck off Dutchman, ready for hard work.
Of the QBs that were rumored to join VT, I like Grunk the best. Pribula or Joeseph would have been excellent additions, but Grunk seems to have the best pocket presence of them all. And with 3 years remaining, we should be in good hands until he turns pro.
Minchey was my #1, but Grunk was up that second group for me and above Pribula. I was curious about Bryce Baker from UNC who might be a stud. But I like getting a guy in Grunk who has actual playing experience (also a plus over Minchey).
Minchey was a good choice, but he committed to Nebraska. I think QB #1 was the most important position of need for VT, followed closely by QB #2. In a 12-16 game season, every team needs a competent QB #2 due to injuries or non-performance. For me, that would be either Grunk or Pribula whoever loses the QB battle. If Pribula can't beat out a limited experience QB, then he is not going pro. Then what? Coaching would be a good route and who better to learn from than an up-and-coming QB coach in Danny Boy O'Brien? My question of Pribula is, why did you leave a stating gig in the SEC?
Baker would be another excellent QB #2. Talented, big, fast kid who needs time to develop. Once again, VT is a great place to be for him. Close to home, Danny Boy to help him improve, and excellent competition to push him, Same for Kromo who s--- the bed at FSU and Miss St. (not all his fault).
Pribula left Mizzou likely because Zollers was going to win that spot for next year. I doubt Pribula goes anywhere where he's not guaranteed to start, and there's plenty of programs looking for a good starting QB the caliber of Pribula.
Speaking of Bryce Baker
And he's from the same HS as Danny O'Brien.
Interesting that 247 has Grunk ranked one spot ahead of Minchey
Minchey likely flipping to Kentucky per Chris Hummer
Edit: Hummer now reporting he's signed with Kentucky
247 now predicting 100% UNC .87 QB Bryce Baker to VT
I got him from the portal in CFB 26, sat him for a few years and won the natty with him finally starting his SR(RS) year.
Anyways what I'm trying to say is call me, James Franklin.
Any word on if A.J. Brand is staying?
I would assume one of Brand or Ryan will transfer since they are the same year.
Is one considered better than the other?
Brand was rated higher but I personally like Ryan more (I'm not a good judge of QB potential, but seems like he can spin it). Brand iirc is much more dual threat.
Still nothing official yet
Good point.
Need confirmation.
So am I correct to assume even a commitment or intent to transfer is not sealed until the next signing day?
It's not a signing day thing. In reality, none of these commitments have any sort of binding moment until they are enrolled in the school.
I'm curious what you consider binding, because "signing" is usually the binding part where they sign what is usually considered contractually binding documents. Granted, certain things get them out of that, but I think it's only usually if the coach leaves or if they don't maintain the grades required to get into the school.
NLI's aren't a thing anymore. They can sign scholarship agreements/grant in aid agreements, but it's really a matter of when they enroll in school at this point. The agreements I believe are binding, but we've seen guys get out of them for a variety of reasons, which also happened in the NLI era.
Fair enough - in terms of degrees of bindingness, I'd still consider that closer to binding than a commitment, which has zero bindingness.
So now I'll remind everyone of the justin fuente ABC's, ALWAYS BE CLOSING. Still traumatized from all the almost hads from his era.
I still wonder if kids were using us either just as a fallback or like getting a salary offer somewhere else that you use to negotiate at the job you'd rather be at.
Kolby put in a Crystal Ball for us to land Bryce Baker from UNC, hopefully he's just a backup option.
Former 5 star but I have a lot of UNC fan friends who have been saying he's ass, as early as last summer. Not saying these guys are elite talent evaluators or anything but that is what I've heard..
He was a true freshman last year at one of the most dysfunctional programs in the country. I'm not sure if you can say anything definitively about him
I agree and I similarly I remember a lot of Buckeyes saying Ewers wasn't any good in his true freshman year there. But I also wouldn't be surprised if he transfers to Marshall next year.
Flip side if Baker turns out to be really good I can tell them that they don't know ball
There are few things in sports fandom better than telling fans of another team they don't know ball and being right about it.
except I guess when your team wins that's pretty cool too
Best when it's both
More dysfunctional than...us?
I mean, Pry wasn't banging a 20 something girl who thought that entitled her to direct involvement in the program and making an ass of himself on the reg while losing a lot. Pry was just losing a lot.
Chip Patterson, UNC alum and college football writer for CBS, said on Cover 3 that he heard from inside sources that Baker was really good and some were surprised he didn't get any starts over Lopez or Johnson.
UNC as a whole was ass last year. I got a feeling anyone who gets away from that dumpster fire will see a huge upswing in play next year
Yet they're still recruiting lights out. The decades of snake oil salesmen at Unc needs to be studied.
they are doing deals with Saudis, thats real oil salesman
They're spending their entire rev share on HS players. They'll get 2nd rate transfer portal guys. Not a recipe for success next year.
Opposite of last year where they spent all on transfer portal but were so late they didn't get anyone good.
UNC went and took a former Franklin guy today instead. 3🌟 Defensive End Jaylen Harvey
I remember thinking Tyrod was ass in his first year.
I remember thinking Tyrod was ass his second year, and the first half of his third year.
I thought he was incredible in his freshman year, and he was, statistically, bad in his second year, but that was a truly, truly dreadful situation for a QB to be in: OL couldn't pass block, every receiver was a freshman or redshirt freshman, and despite the numbers, he was still consistently making the plays necessary for us to win football games. I've thought about doing a long post on that 2008 team many times because it was such a spectacular outcome for a team that had lost damn near everyone from the mid 2000's on both sides of the ball, and not only managed to rescue the 10 win streak, but won the ACC, and won a BCS bowl game. One of Bud Foster's most incredible coaching jobs. He had to replace almost every player from the elite defenses of the previous years.
I always saw the vision with Tyrod, and the growing pains of being forced to learn our multiple, pro-style offense, with damn near none of the layups modern offenses are designed to give QB's, were always going to make him stick in the NFL for a long time (from my POV).
I would love to read this post.
2008 was my first semester as a student/fan of VT (or college football at all). All I really remember is losing to BC, beating Nebraska at Nebraska, and beating BC in the ACCCG in... tampa? And the Orange bowl over Cincy. I remember everyone telling me that Kam and Jason Worlds took a step back (but then both got drafted).
Would be a fascinating read from those who could better contextualize the season.
Be happy you don't remember the first game of that season. Dont look it up unless you want to relive it.
I remember a couple of my friends went to the game. I really confused why were playing ECU in Charlotte.
I also had an acquaintance from high school who went to Furman that I (for lack of a better term) despised (mostly for his extreme arrogance and poor social awareness). This kid was messaging me on facebook talking trash "it could be close, I think we can beat you" (this dude knew zero about football, much less college football). Furman was my first home game as a student, and we were up 3-0 at half time I think, and I remember thinking "oh fuck Patrick is going to talk so much shit about this and I was really hoping I'd never have to talk to him about anything every again"
Mine was 2004 and ended at 2009. What a great five years it was.
Yeah I was in high school for the balance of Tyrod's VT career, and he was a senior my freshman year of college. I never once thought he was "ass," but I did remember thinking he was maybe a little raw his first year playing. But even then I knew T Mobile was a baller, I'll remember 3rd and 31 for the rest of my life.
Agree that the 2008 team was...very hard to watch at times, especially on offense. But I always had the sense that it wasn't Tyrod's fault. And yes - they overachieved in a decade where you almost had the sense that most years the Hokies were underachieving in dropping one or two games here and there. That four game stretch to end the season beginning with the home game vs Duke was as dominant a defensive stretch of football as any in the Bud 'n Beamer era.
I would also love to read this post if you write it. That is top tier offseason material in my mind. Would be especially interesting to me since I became a fan in 2009 as a freshman, so I tried to watch/read a lot about the 08 team to understand how things were before I started paying attention.
Tyrod was
But is he too Grunk to taste that chicken?
Let's hope he leaves opposing defenses feel that way
I'm really optimistic about him
I'm no QB guy but when you watch his release (fast), accuracy and arm strength I see a ton of Aaron Rodgers
I wouldn't be mad if we met Cal in a bowl game and he started laughing at their defense...
I feel better about that game knowing we lost to a unanimous first-ballot NFL HoF QB, but at the time I was livid.
We've played a LOT of seriously talented college QBs and/or future NFL QBs-e.g. Peyton Manning, the aforementioned Rogers, Matt Ryan, Donovan McNabb, Vince Young, Ben Roethlisberger, etc.

Andrew Luck
Russ wilson and deshaun watson are memes now, but....
Also Jason Campbell
Byron Leftwich.
And in 1990, a Southern Miss team featuring Brett Favre at QB came to Blacksburg and lost by four.
Also Matt Leinart
That second half in the Orange Bowl is the best performance against a Bud Foster defense I've ever seen.
I have no recollection of VT playing Roethlisberger/Miami (OH)
Best to forget the Miami(Oh) game.
Yep. The team sure did...
We did not play Marshall during Roethlisbergers time in college.
https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/ben-roethlisberger-1/gamelog/
Ben Roethlisberger was Miami OH.
Byron Leftwich was Marshall.
We also played against Jake Delhomme once (I can't remember if he was at UL Lafayette or Monroe).
Regardless, we never played Roethlisberger. The link I posted is his college game log. Never played Virginia Tech. We faced Miami(OH) only once in 1997 and lost. QB for that game was Sam Ricketts. They beat us on a blocked punt for a TD and we couldn't hold onto the ball with two fumbles.
Yeah, I don't believe we did.
Vince Young?
Heisman winner and #1 pick Cam Ward
Matt Schaub
Drake Maye
OK, I'll go way back - Jim Kelly of Miami.
You can go back even farther to Steve Tensi, who Tech beat in Miles Stadium in '64. Played for the Chargers & Broncos. 'Course it was the AFL then, not the NFL. Had c a pretty good receiver at FSU, guy named Biletnikoff
How about Matt Stafford. Chick fil a bowl 2006. Tale of 2 halves. All Hokies 1 st half. Then the Matt Stafford show for UGA 2nd half.
I was there. It was painful. But had some nice interactions with Bulldog fans while at the Coca-Cola museum.
The Georgia fans much preferred sharing the city with us than the WVU fans they faced the year before.
funny thing we went to the peach bowl and then the Gator bowl that year so I saw two goergia teams play two teams with virginia in their name and two 18 point comebacks.
In that game Kelly got injured and was replaced by
none other than.......Vinny Testaverde. 😳
And that was when we had Miami by the...Testaverdes.
Hat tip to random sign in the crowd I still remember seeing on College GameDay years ago.
Bonus points if you know who was third string on 1982 Miami Hurricanes behind Kelly and Testeverde.
Mark Richt
Yep. Loaded with history..
Matt Stafford too
ugh, don't remind me, I was there
Yeah, me too. Still a little pissed at Bud for denying we went into prevent defense which was obvious to all who were there, but it's not like Stafford was a piker.
EDIT: What an idiot I am. I confused Stafford with Ryan. Senility looms!
So any idea on when/if this will be official or atleast announced?
Was thinking the same thing. Maybe they are still dickering over money. I don't really care if thats the reason, just wanted to use dickering in a sentence.
Yahoo Sports now reporting its a done deal.
worth it
As we continue to wait, words of wisdom
I hope that is all this is and that VT and Grunk are the only parties involved.
I really really hope we get an OL that can protect our incoming talent. The trenches have been our weakest group in the last 10 years aside from a few isolated bright spots
Too Grunk to Guck?
I'm not going to be the guy who makes the Grunkemiller joke am i?
It's not official until there is a titter announcement!
Came here for the titters, leaving disappointed.
Pics, or it didn't happen!
French if you're reading, just caught you on Sons of Saturday. As it looks right now, if we can't protect Grunk in the pocket, is there another QB in the room that can escape or keep on an option, that also fits the scheme?
I feel like the existing O-line has more potential than they showed. They proved they could run block and I think pass pro could look much better with:
-another offseason of development
-something to play for/motivation
-a qb with better pocket presence
I feel like Drones abandoned the pocket even when he had good protection and never slid up, he only slid sideways. Not totally his fault as he probably lost faith that the O-line could hold a pocket.
The oline will look much better if we can actually complete short / quick passes...
+
All of this. Lines usually improve in their second year under an OL coach, and Moore has a track record of significant improvement in year two. C Altuner, LG Ghannam, slide Garrett to RT, find a LT, and competition for RG including possibly someone from the transfer portal, plus some better injury luck (ours was terrible this season). It's not a world-beating OL, but I think it'll be more than serviceable.
And if the QB reads/ checks happen faster ( or at all)
Do we in fact have Grunk 'in the pocket'? Seems to be a lot of question about whether he has officially signed or not.
Makes me nervous for sure. But from Kolby Korner he says don't worry
Until I see an official VT announcement, I'm nervous.
Yeah, me too. Starting to think maybe Matt Campbell has been in his ear to stick around as QB2 behind Becht in 2026 before taking the reins in 2027. Seems like we should have the inside track on him from a coaching standpoint, and our pay for QB1 should be respectable, but maybe he and/or his agent is just being deliberate and holding out for the best possible deal.
What I want to say to Grunkemeyer...
We might be a tad jaded given the last few years. We expect to get screwed. I remain hopeful we will be fine.
After all these other commits, I'm thinking...
FWIW, according to my titter-connected friends Grunk started following the HokiesFB account today.
Someone on reddit said VT football insta following Gunkemeyer, Reynolds, OSU OT Terry, LSU OT Calloway
I want to believe
Watkins put in the Crystal Ball for Calloway, so sounds like we're probably in good shape there. Most of the article from his tweet is paywalled, but he has the LSU player image, as well as states it prior to the paywall kicking in.
Looks like Wake Forest has stepped in with a big bag for Calloway. Seeing a bunch of Titters this morning on that.
I'm starting to not like Wake Forest.
My 10 year old son's first game was Homecoming this year vs WF. He has since taken his disappointment out on the NCAA25 WF squad at every opportunity for the past 3 months. 15 minute quarters, no sim. Just doing his best to beat them by 1,000.
Like God intended
After the trauma of Matt F$#@%%^ Ryan game in the rain I cannot tell you how satisfying the superbowl where he choked was for me and my childhood trauma. We all get it if youre part of this fanbase unfortunately.
I'll never forget it. I was dry due to heavy investment in rain gear after losing to Cincy in serious rain in '95, but man, was that a tough comedown in a game we had in hand.
My parents and I were mainly dry, but started swearing when the rain stopped.
Still too soon, dammit!
It will always be too soon.
That's the way she goes I guess
After today's events....
we gonna be Aiiighht!!!!
Me to Grunk...
Maybe without the gun, lol! If we force him to sign this year, he'll just portal out next year!
Mine shoots Cookout gift cards.
do we know why the holdup for the official announcement?
no, but maybe it has something to do with this?
I think....
My thoughts on the Schrodinger's QB game...
My heart is telling me this...
But my brain is telling me this...
Maybe that Big Announcement(TM) Joe was referring to in the other thread is related to Grunk?
Oh I'm sure it is. In two weeks.
I just wish this thread would be locked until anything official happens so I can stop clicking on it.
lol! Leg for the money pit pull. Such a classic!
This is like waiting for Franklin to sign all over again
He will sign in 2 months for $100
In Hardies coupons?
Kolby's Corner on Grunkemeyer from last night (on my phone so can't embed) https://youtu.be/kOgWbRYkpE8?si=Mbj-7HGdNrb0Ddut
Everyone should listen to this.
It is kinda weird to me basically we're not going to run the Penn State offense here....while keeping a bunch of the Penn State staff and QB?
I think the key is we aren't going to be running the offense that Penn State's most recent OC, Andy Kotelnicki, ran. We'll probably look more similar to what they were running with Sean Clifford as QB a few years ago.
EG 2025 all Dropbacks & Runs
Per 247 Sports, Colby Crawford has upped his Crystal Ball prediction to 10/10 at 0833 pm on 1/13/2026. Note: Grunk does have 2 CB for VT.
It's nice that there's no pesky dentists involved to drop that to a 9/10 recommendation.
I still want to say...
But my head is still whispering...
I like this Sekrah guy.
I enjoy that he pisses off PSU fans to an unbelievable level but he can be way over the top too....so small doses
Some of his takes and claims are ridiculous there are times where I wish we could give him back to PSU.
All fans are welcome. Take the good with the bad I guess
Someone get him better photoshop
It's like one tier above msPaint
Looks like me using powerpoint to edit images
I wasn't aware that was a thing a person could do.
Remove background is very powerful and you can layer images... It works for low level work
It made my eye twitch when my coworkers would do this stuff in front of me
So 3 tiers above LOLuva's social media team during Timecop's era
It's completely eliminated orange which is what a statistically significant portion of our fanbase wet dreams over
Wait, isn't it still unofficial until either VT or the player announces it?
He announced basically at the same time
This is a good birthday present for me. I think this is why they held out until the 14th
happy birthday?
To you as well
Wasn't sure if I was interpreting the use of the meme correctly, hence the question mark, lol
We kept him in the boat ahhhhhh
Well well well, how the turntables!
Welcome to the team Mr. Grunkemeyer. Now go win us a bunch of games!
Prepare to see all Hokies passing records obliterated even with just three years if he stays.
I mean, 16 games per season, for 3 seasons.
FILM REVIEW TO BE PUBLISHED IN THE MORNING, FAM.
Kid can ball. But he is going to be very very very different from every VT QB going back to Sean Glennon. In the pocket (moves well in the pocket), patient, accurate, reads the field. But, HE NEEDS TIME TO THROW. Gauntlet is dropped to Matt Moore to protect the QB.
French, you might've mentioned this in other threads, but are there any other positions of note that you think we need to reinforce still? I'm sure OL is one of them...
That French review tho...
An experienced left tackle would be a gold ribbon. One more experienced safety (with Flowers going back to Rice, please.) I am still unsure about linebacker because I am not real sure if Wiley fits as an inside linebacker (he played a true 4-3 SAM ala a Jack Ham or Wilbur Marshall in Jim Knowles defense and was removed for nickels until the bowl game.)
How many of the 17 edge players that committed might move to LB?
There's an experienced LT from Colorado that just entered the portal, but he's expected to get upwards of $2M in revenue share/NIL. Probably out of JMFF's preferred budget.
Check out Justin Terry from An OSU. Has a "Do Not Contact" tag and has ties to Moore. Enrolled in the Hillbillies before transferring to OSU. Played both Tackle spots in HS.
Up to 3rd on ON3 portal rankings and 11th on 247. We got our guy!
So we're gonna call his 7 games last season a redshirt year, yeah?
he should be able to sue for it.
he played for a guy that got hurt so it would be a medical redshirt
We FINALLY got our guy. Let's Party!
Wait, is this sort of thing in the realm of possibility for us!? (being the Big Dog and hanging onto our steak)
It's been fun watching every excuse we used to use to explain why we couldn't recruit be immediately torched the second that Franklin came to town
And we are finally financially investing in players again. Can't forget that part.
Not having the money and not having anyone who can donate to invest was a major portion of those excuses
to be fair, I don't think this is definitively proven yet. There needs to be consistent year after year investment and VT so far is sans our own Mark Cuban. So it will continue to be a slog to keep donations high.
But I do agree that the chicken or egg has been shattered. Real money = big dog coach = best class ever. The difference between now and the lets hire an up and coming coach strategy is staggering.
And now on to next step, winning/success leads to easier money raise, which potentially proves the investment point you make.
I was just thinking this earlier. Isn't Blacksburg some far off place no good player wants to go to?
Correct which is why we had to hire one of the best recruiters to make it happen.
You should travel to Texas Tech. Its brown. Everything is brown. Sameness everywhere. Blech
Lubbock is ELITE
But their excessively large checks clear. Its like contractors going into a war zone, mostly for the Hazard Pay.
I drove through Amarillo and it was blech.
But was it yellow?
As someone who has also driven through both Lubbock and Amarillo, they are both quite blech
A lot of parts in Texas are blech. Now, if you want to see something on a different level, you need to visit Galveston. Just don't get in the water, or breathe the air for too long
Never been to Galveston but I have seen some of the non-blech parts too. Went and visited my best friend when he was stationed at Port Arthur about 5 years back (he's in the Coast Guard). Drove most of the way across the state to get there from Albuquerque and it was so cool seeing the state slowly turn greener and greener the further east you went. I also nearly ran out of gas somewhere between Abilene and Temple, fortunately I was able to roll right up to a station in some small village or other whose name I forget. Driving around Houston was...an experience.
I-40 through Amarillo was our only dealings with Texas when we used to go out west for camping until we decided to do a rest stop at the Palo Duro Canyon about 30 miles south of Amarillo. Cool canyon with the Red River running through it and a ton of Spanish skirt colored rocks and cliffs, good hiking trails and a campground filled with Gambol's quail, turkeys and some really good looking deer that people have been feeding for decades. When we were first there, it was sparsely used, not that way now in all liklihood. We'd always ride over to the small town of Canyon and visited the cowboy museum, which was really cool as well.
Then, outta Texas as quickly as we could to get to New Mexico to really start our vacation. It was fun before crowds ruined most of our western camping destinations, and we'll never do it again because of that.
I hiked that canyon a couple of years ago. Still not very crowded and beautiful. Stopped for a beer on my way out at the Sad Monkey Mercantile and watched all of the wildlife come out at dusk.
Our last visit must have predated that Mercantile. Would have loved to have it when we were staying there.
@french60wasp:
Can we "3 to 5 Mississippi" long-protect?
This kid really needs that; as he throws a nice take the top off an opposing D long-ball. Good load and torque applied downstairs when SET.
Tho', he also gets all kinda bumble-bee bounced about circuitously when under pressure.
In other words...
💯,
b.street
Weeelllllll....i have had too much bourbon to understand that shit. Ill see you tomorrow.
Can we protect him when he drops back because he has a nice ball that takes the top off the defense with good leg drive, but needs time to get there. He gets chased out a lot when he's under pressure (I think). We had awful pass protection, Penn State had good pass protection.
Yea I had a gummy and it made fucking sense, which is how I know I'm stoned.
Brownie here, but the basketball game outcome harshed my buzz and straightened me up.
LOLOL, I would plaid this all by myself if I could. Made my morning.
Borrowed... and thanks!
Eye gonna Tau Sigma Lambda big fun this...

b.street
what does it say that I understood it perfectly and I was stone cold sober....I must be fluent in BS
Can't fix the fluency issue, but drop by and I'll share a brownie with you to fix the sober problem.
Helluvan offer, Fish. I'm just honored you'd make it to begin with!
It would be my pleasure to host the Beard. Much humor would ensue, I'm certain.
I wouldn't mind sharing one of those brownies with you....once I retire from govt service, that is. 🤣
We could convene and celebrate your retirement, if I live that long that is.
