Countdown: 77 Days; Kendall Fuller and Ryan Switzer Exchanged Texts

The offseason rages on.

North Carolina wide receiver Ryan Switzer shared a brief text conversation he had with Virginia Tech cornerback Kendall Fuller.

Fuller made a 47-yard house call after he intercepted UNC QB Mitch Trubisky's pass.

Much like the Hokies did the Tar Heels last October, Fuller got the better of Switzer on that one.

Lol, never gets old.

-Being aggressive, being tough...that's the Virginia Tech way.

I went to Atlanta that night and actually got a fist bump from Kyle after the game along with getting to congratulate/interact with some of the other players. One of the funnest night of my life even if I did have to drive from 2am till 6:30am to get two of my friends back in time for a test (it was a Thursday night game).

Also we were probably the classiest guys there.

Yeah, this is Will (second from right for everyone else), I assume you're Brett, or at least some MV trumpet.

The fact that you guessed correctly on the first try astonishes me ha

Your profile saying you're a Packers fan was what gave it away.
Anyways, hope life is treating you well.

Yeah man same to you. Life is good right now

Fuller on Fuller crime!

I vote this the best gif EVER! Hands down! Too bad you did not catch the shove at the end. Fantastic.

I remember watching this live. Warms the heart. Good ol' brotherly love

If you watch the "Mic'd Up" video of this, one of the refs wants to call an Unsportsmanlike Conduct penalty on Kyle and Corey explains to the ref that Kyle is LITERALLY his brother, and it's all good. Ref kinda chuckles and puts it away.

Checkmate. That should be the end of the texts for the summer.

He also could have added . . . going to class, and you?

BOOM!

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.


Good thing UNC's Hospital has a lot of Duke grads as residents. Their players are gonna need a lot of skin grafts.

Nah man, just Some good ole ACC division trash talk.

Pour some Beer on it

when keeping it real goes wrong

I'm here for the memes, I just stay for the football.

Kendall is the man. If you are going to poke the bear, at least pick a game in which your team won and the other guy didn't return a 50 yard pick 6.

Kendall representing DBU; well done sir.

Seriously. Reminds me of those silly commercials "Messing with Sasquatch" or whatever it is. You should know before you start that it's not going to end well for you.

You mean like when I talked my brother, the better thrower, into throwing pine cones at the hornet's nest? He got stung pretty good, but my daddy tanned my pea pickin' butt for my instigation. Last real spanking I got, and it was thoroughly enjoyed by my little bro.

See, it was always the reverse in my house. I'm the youngest, which means I was the last to develop the sense of "oh wow, that was pretty loud, I better get out of here before Mom or Dad shows up." No matter who was to blame, I was the one on the spot when the Authorities showed up.

Couple other side notes from the highlight clip.
1. Dadi put a jump cut on their RB who came to block him and the RB ate turf.
2. The RT who ignored Dadi and the RG combine for a chop block on Nigel (might have been the flag on the play)
3. The C and LG combine for a chop block on Corey.(might have been the flag on the play)

WTF are they teaching their linemen there that they have structured chop blocks in the play?

*ring, ring ring, ring*
Yes this is Paul Johnson... Sure I got a few minutes to talk...

They called the one on Corey- it got enforced on the kickoff. I'm guessing the LG wasn't supposed to make contact with Marshall and that the RT wasn't supposed to cut Nigel Williams (it was former VT target Kiaro Holts' 2nd career start).

There's a reason they were 107th in the country in penalty yardage...

I don't remember, did the Fuller INT come when defending Switzer? Because if it didn't, I kinda think Switzer had better trash talk haha.

Right, but in terms of just a little twitter trash talk, I'd rather be the one who did something against the guy you're beefing with. So, reluctantly, I'd give it to Switzer in this case.

Kendall had an int for a td and 2 PBUs. I can't go back and see if those PBUs were while covering switzer or not. Switzer also had 5 catches for 67 yards, but with us not using our corners on specific WRs no telling who the other catches were against. Also we're assuming kendall was the one covering switzer on that play in man-to-man coverage. he could have been dropped off in a zone or not even covering switzer on the play.

Right, but if I'm having a friendly twitter beef with someone, I'm not gonna care how he played against my boys. Trash talk is mano-a-mano..

Fuller is on defense and he scores.
Switzerland is on offense and does not.

Trump card played.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

Reminds me of this Conan/Arnold exchange: Blagojinsnitzel...Blagojinflazen...Blue'-Clues-ovich...Boy-George-ovich...Blue-Lagoon-ovich

I did not even notice how spell check changed it. I forgot it was the first word in the sentence so the capitalization wouldn't stop spellcheck.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

That's cool, but was the explanation really necessary?
