Adonis Alexander gets the #25 against Georgia Tech

This makes sense. He returned the block for the touchdown, and Stroman, who blocked it, has already had it this year.

I know everyone keeps saying "it's based on practice", but usually when we've had a guy who hasn't worn #25 yet make a huge ST play he gets it the following week.

That said, I'm looking forward to watching another member of the secondary wearing #25 this week. Already had a couple of them in it.

Not trying to play Devil's advocate but I don't think Devine Diablo did anything special in Miami game to warrant getting #25 in the Pitt game. I'm assuming he had a great practice prior to Pitt.

My point was that performance in-game seems to factor in, if there was someone in particular that stood out, not that the in-game performance is the only factor.

If my memory is correct, didn't he cause the fumble early on?

Pretty sure he did

He forced the fumble against Pitt when he was wearing 25. What you are suggesting is that Coach Fuente can see into the future (he can).

I love how they honor Shane's old number.

It really bothers me not knowing what his go-to cookout tray/shake combo is

Can't really go wrong on anything.

There was a day when I would have agreed with that statement, but after a handful of...uhm...unfortunate evenings after eating cookout, I've definitely eliminated a few of their options (along with the entirety of the Broad Street Richmond location) from my rotation

Edit to add photo of one of said evenings for clarity

I'm not familiar with the ones around VA, but I can tell you that the best I've been to is the location in Raleigh off of Western Boulevard near NC State. The Walnut Street location in Cary is a close second. If a Cookout has indoor seating, it kinda hurts the whole experience for me.

Was it the quesadilla? It was the quesadilla, wasn't it?

It was multiple versions of their burgers for me. Delicious, but not worth it

macraw83's picture macraw83 | 9 years 8 months # ^

I've been to Cookout dozens (if not hundreds) of times. Only once did I get a burger.

A Cookout employee has been quoted as saying that his go to shake flavor is chocolate.

Which someone on here commented that was the most Frank Beamer thing ever. Go to a place with 300 shake flavors and he picks chocolate.

the best are oreo...and banana pineapple. There should be an OT post on it.

This could not have been scripted more perfectly...just saying. LAY EM OUT DONI!

I like to think that Coach Fuente invites Coach Beamer to practice on Monday, and he asks the team to solve an old school, cryptic, sphinx-style riddle, , and whoever solves it first gets the #25.

Leonard. Duh.

Maybe they will let Lawson wear it for the ND game.

That might keep him from transferring.

There is nothing in the world like Thursday night in Blacksburg!

Real talk: Where did he transfer to again? And how's he doing?

HUtchinson CC. Doesn't look like he's played for them this year and I don't see him on the roster HERE

Oh snap. Thanks. Probably would help if I spelled his name correctly too
