Dude I love Isaiah Ford
I could barely finish the video before posting this
The Eiffel 65 remix at the end is straight fire.
It sounded like Durkin must've de-cleated someone. Cornelsen and the players went crazy.
I don't care who you are, that's a great show. ^
Nick is my spirit animal.
As I posted in the first thread.......
Wow that was great. I love this kind of content.
-First off this made me a little nostalgic for Frank. I mean don't get me wrong, I'm on the CJF train 100% with no regrets but I still kind of miss the guy. Also he's looking healthier which is great to see.
-Second off Travon is jacked. I had heard he had put on some weight but dang.
-Lastly I love Isaiah's mentality challenging the D-Block and DBU. I love all of the competition taking place this Spring.
Tim Settle is right. He should have been a kick returner. A huge load to bring down.
That was pretty funny, nobody was any more surprised than he was that he caught that punt cleanly. I think shocked is maybe more accurate.
That sure beats when people suggest him as a goal line blocking back. As good as Settle was on defense in high school, he was the opposite as a blocker. SJ's offense was the OL would snap the ball to Stroman and then turn around and watch him run for his life.
Stroman in college: "You want me to play offense again? Not the backfield. As far away as possible. Please."
"I'd like to play offense from the defensive side. Kthxbye!"
Thanks Joe for posting this! So much to love about this video. Players and Beamer, they mean a lot to each other and brought a tear or three. Ford's smile and shirt, I want that shirt! Adding WR University to the jingo. Seeing former wvu coach in the O&M! Go Hokies!

I'd love to see the day where we have a valid claim to that over Pitt and GT. Not happening yet, but times change!
Wide Receiver U, baby! DBU, DLU, RBU, QBU, I'll take any and all, thank you!
I'll take NCU for the win.
At that point, you might as well call us "The U." /s
Springtime means Spring Football, I love it!
So this Settle Returning Punts thing isn't a one-off clip. @VT_Football also posted this vine on twitter - definitely a different video than the one posted above:
There is also a clip of our OL practicing their form tackling. So who the hell knows what's going on up there.
Is this like muscle confusion, but for football?
Still more relevant than Bronco's basketball practice.
amazing how effortlessly he runs up that 45 degree hill after catching the ball.......
I'm guess more like 60 degree and he runs past people like they are standing still. Very impressive for 340+ lb.
As mentioned above, Travon is jacked. That definitely is a running back body and not a QB body. We had a dude jacked like that in HS as a RB, and he use to make train noises as he rain. Wonder if Travon does too.
Plus one for whistle tips!
That's one messed up looking dog!
