Don't know if you guys had seen this yet but a slew of cb's have came through for Jalen Dalton to the good guys. Note that Tom Loy is the Carolina guru.
I don't know that I can believe your screen capture because you still have roughly half your battery life remaining. Post again when you're down below 10%.

lol for now... Give it a year or so and that thing will bog down with so much crap you'll be lucky if it'll last the day before you factory reset. (speaking from experience with my Razr Maxx HD... thing was soooo bad about a month ago so I reset it recently, and its back to being pretty awesome).

Seriously though, I'm conflicted about my next device when I'm due for an upgrade next month and I've had my eye on the Note 4 for a while. That said, I just saw what Moto is bringing with the Droid Turbo, and it looks pretty beastly. Same battery as the Maxx series, 5.2 inch screen, 3GB of RAM... Now I'm torn!

Currently have a Galaxy III and it is still running strong two years later. battery saps quicker, but they are great phones. Plus the screen is a plastic rather than glass like the iphones. Dropped mine several times and there isn't a scratch on it. I just don't think I can deal with having a phone as large as the Note. Too

The screen is still gorilla glass, but something about the structure makes it a bit stronger. I dropped my S3 4ft. onto concrete a month after I got it and it cracked a bit, but not anywhere near as bad as an iPhone's spiderweb pattern. It worked fine for about a year and a half until some of the pieces in the corner started falling off, and I replaced it with a $120 screen assembly I bought on eBay and it's been working fine for the 6 months since.
I do agree about the battery, though. Mine doesn't even make it through a full workday, and I don't use it for much. It tends to stay plugged in whenever I'm at home, work, or in the car.

Got you beat, still using my Droid 2 R2-D2 edition from a little over 4 years ago. I've been eligible for an upgrade for quite a while now but the combination of losing my grandfathered unlimited data package and the lack of options in smart phones with a slide out keyboard and removable battery have led me to delay upgrading. I'll probably have to give in soon though, my micro USB port died about a month ago and I've resorted to using a spare battery and a charger to keep it running.

Right you are. He's planning an unofficial later this year. That's when things could get interesting. If not, VT might get a nice little Christmas present.

For those keeping track... these 2 players are a 5* DE that we're heavily, heavily involved with and an unranked Offensive Tackle, who holds offers from VT, UofL, Miss St, and UGa.
Yes, this very much is good news.

Im sure the score and how we dominated helped but you have to give props to all the Hokies in attendance as well. We took over that stadium in noise levels (seriously I was walking into the stadium when the sack fumble happened and the cheer was so loud I was convinced that UNC did something good until a couple minutes later when the VT TD was announced)

It also looked like (from my couch) the UNC fans were not completely filling up the stadium either. The student section looked decent, but the rest looked sparse. Was that the case? If so, I bet that helped a ton.

It was fairly packed in for a decent portion of the game, at least from the view I had (which is not the view you could see on TV). The end zone seats were very sparse though, and the students started clearing out the second we went up 24-3 (one entire section in the corner never refilled after halftime). The sections above the students were also near empty as well.

I have been listening to a lot of these noon games on the radio. It's great to have the crowd tell me, even on the road, when a good Hokie play is coming up before Bill can call it.

We've been lured by the Crystal Ball before, but I'm hoping that where there's smoke, there's fire. In Dalton's case, all 7 predictions within the last week are VT, 5 of which are flips from UNC.

One thing that gives me pause is that it's backwards this year. Usually we start high on the list and trend down. This year we've started off these guys lists and trending upwards. We didn't have a cb for Dalton til a couple weeks ago.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
As far as cb's go: let's remember that we had a cb for Houshon Gaines, and he committed to Florida... cb's and, for that matter, verbal commitments, do not mean much until they actually sign on the dotted line in February.

True. Where they can help is the momentum they can make happen for us with a # of these high end guys. If the Sweats, Daltons, Settles of the world all see that guys are looking very closely at VT, maybe it creates a magic vortex of yesses heading our way for the next recruiting class, where these guys are like "Hmmm, i could be down with being part of the one of the best CFB defenses of all time"

Tom Loy thinks that he's likely gonna commit to us at his visit. Gets me excited. But I'm trying to stay tempered because Dalton is still a young kid. Young kids can change their minds at any moment. But nonetheless I'm excited! I feel sorry for teams that will face our defense if we have Dalton, Settle, and Sweat

I don't really look into the "crystal ball" anymore. Most of the times a bunch of the analysts just change their vote whenever someone else that has more status than them changes their decision.

I feel you on that. The only reason I'm giving it a second thought is because of who the crystal ball picks are more than how many there are. Schurbert, Barton Simmons, Evan Watkins, Tom Loy, Kyle Bailey. These are guys close to the situation. As a matter of fact the only crystal ball for Dalton to UNC since middle summer came from OSU site eleven warriors.

Yea thats true. Im sure they get most of their predictions correct, just I have seen multiple times where they predicted us and it ended being another school. i.e. Darrell Taylor of recent.

Don't worry brother I have the Droid maxx. This thing will get me through the apocalypse on full charge.

I miss my old LG Voyager. The phone app on that one worked so much better.
That's good to know because it's been about a year and I'm seeing the exact same thing. Maybe it's time for a factory reset.
Dang, I used to have a Droid Charge and after 2 selfies I had to plug in...
Well it was named Charge...
The Droid plug-in is cheaper and really bright. Singes the eyebrows with all that power.
lol...

Galaxy represent. I have the OG Galaxy S. Can't remember exactly when I got it but there is date inside of July 10, 2010.
I got a GS4 to replace my Droid Bionic. Before that, I had the iPhone 3G and 3G S. The GS4 is the best phone I've ever had.

Try buying your upgraded phone through Amazon Wireless. For some reason, current data plans usually stay intact when buying through them.
Not hearing much about Tim Settle lately, he would be a great get also.
We probably won't hear much from him until he takes his official to VT in a few weeks. Just a hunch.
Same with Dalton I think. His official to VT is 11/1, so hopefully we keep this mojo up until then.
He already took his official visit to tech (Settle that is) a few weeks back. I'm pretty sure we were his first official visit. Just sayin'.
Right you are. He's planning an unofficial later this year. That's when things could get interesting. If not, VT might get a nice little Christmas present.
For those keeping track... these 2 players are a 5* DE that we're heavily, heavily involved with and an unranked Offensive Tackle, who holds offers from VT, UofL, Miss St, and UGa.
Yes, this very much is good news.
Settle is a DT isn't he?
He is talking about the guys in the picture. Jalen Dalton is a big time DE.
My fault couldn't see the pic at work.
Loy said last week that he was sticking with UNC, makes you wonder what made him change his mind.
34-17?
Sure didn't hurt our chances. We were trending for him before that though. I believe that may have just been the final nail in the coffin for Loy.
Probably.
Doesn't hurt when the coach says it wasn't the other teams defense....
a clear sign as any that it certainly was.
Thanks Mr. Obvious UNC coach!
Im sure the score and how we dominated helped but you have to give props to all the Hokies in attendance as well. We took over that stadium in noise levels (seriously I was walking into the stadium when the sack fumble happened and the cheer was so loud I was convinced that UNC did something good until a couple minutes later when the VT TD was announced)

The sections above the students were also near empty as well.
That's what they showed on TV a lot, the section above the students. The hokie section looked packed though.
The Hokie section is always packed, regardless of the venue.
I have been listening to a lot of these noon games on the radio. It's great to have the crowd tell me, even on the road, when a good Hokie play is coming up before Bill can call it.
Same here, been listening while busy with my kids' sporting events. Love to hear the roar preceding the call.
We've been lured by the Crystal Ball before, but I'm hoping that where there's smoke, there's fire. In Dalton's case, all 7 predictions within the last week are VT, 5 of which are flips from UNC.
FWIW, overheard on a Charlotte, NC golf course today
"Hell, Fedora can barely get his top ten recruits to talk to him much less come to Chapel Hill ..."
that and $8.99 will get you some cake at the Harris Teeter but I agree, there's lots of fire about the FAB15.
Yes, but how much is pie at Harris Teeter?
Do they have a pie this big??
One thing that gives me pause is that it's backwards this year. Usually we start high on the list and trend down. This year we've started off these guys lists and trending upwards. We didn't have a cb for Dalton til a couple weeks ago.
Agree - nice to see trending upwards.
As far as cb's go: let's remember that we had a cb for Houshon Gaines, and he committed to Florida... cb's and, for that matter, verbal commitments, do not mean much until they actually sign on the dotted line in February.
True. Where they can help is the momentum they can make happen for us with a # of these high end guys.

Dork magic vortices. That sounds pretty dope.
You mean - that sounds fully dipped.
We can only get burnt on so many of these before we have them go our way for these big guys and positions of need
So this is probably random, but do you play dungeon gems lizardking?
Ha! Must be looking at my crowded status bar. Nah I'm playing marvel puzzle quest and spiderman unlimited right now.
Makes sense why I keep seeing ads for Spiderman ha
What do we need crystal balls for when we have #ballsofsteel!
"SWEAT,DALTON,SETTLE!!!"
"DeBerry, Taylor, Thomas!!!"
... Hey, a guy can dream, right?
Take away Taylor and I think we have a real shot at all of those guys.
Don't forget Tolliver, if I am going to get my hopes up, I want them all the way up!
I am really hoping he flips to us. That would be a coup.
He has to notice what Fuller has been doing for us and all the young DBs we play
He was hanging out with Fuller on his GT visit. He noticed.
Tom Loy thinks that he's likely gonna commit to us at his visit. Gets me excited. But I'm trying to stay tempered because Dalton is still a young kid. Young kids can change their minds at any moment. But nonetheless I'm excited! I feel sorry for teams that will face our defense if we have Dalton, Settle, and Sweat
And Hill. That kid is very underrated.

As a matter of fact the only crystal ball for Dalton to UNC since middle summer came from OSU site eleven warriors.
They're still butt hurt from us wreaking havoc on the shoe
The guy from Eleven Warriors had switched it to Tech before he/it switched back later in the day...
Yea thats true. Im sure they get most of their predictions correct, just I have seen multiple times where they predicted us and it ended being another school. i.e. Darrell Taylor of recent.
Alabama's crystal ball in use:
I bet Phyllis from Mulga was driving yelling "Roll Tide!"
W. T.....H?
I will bet you that guy's missing hat he has also blessed the world with 8 offspring from three different women with a total IQ of 17.
I think you may have found the real life CLEVON!
