Something else that might be relevant for your poll - older siblings at VT? For instance, I'm the oldest, while my younger brother has the same Sugar Bowl, because I helped indoctrinate him properly.

# | 2017 WR Kalil Pimpleton Ready to Play for a Coach With the "Same Mentality as Frank Beamer" You also figure these guys are basically working a close-to-full-time job (playing football) while they take these classes. It wouldn't be shocking if they took a smaller course load and finished a bachelors and maybe a minor in five years.
The point was I wanted to watch it, but couldn't because I have a wife and friends and family and stuff. I can't understand why the college football powers that be really thought a few Jimmy Kimmel commercials would trump all of that. I don't even really love new years eve (it's like 8th on my holiday list, I think), but the arrogance of college football is stunning to me.
Missed the first quarter of Clemson-Oklahoma (at work), and then couldn't watch Bama-MichSt because New Years Eve. Dumb. Dumb dumb dumb dumb. So mad at college football.
They also fired Bruce Feldman for accurately reporting how shitty they were being. A very very black eye for ESPN reporting, and one of the main reasons I don't look to them for any college football information beyond scores.
It certainly seemed to be the issue when Brewer went down against OSU. And when Motley was the starter, we saw Lawson doing the exact same thing Motley had been doing when Brewer was the starter.
Motley proved to at least be able to throw in his run as the starter. Whenever he wasn't the starter, though, he seemed wholly unprepared to do anything but run.
Ah, you're right. My bad. Should've fact checked, but was in a bit of a hurry.
See, I feel the opposite - I want UVA to be a flaming dumpster fire where no athlete would reasonably ever want to go. I want apathy and expectations of losing to set in, because it dramatically helps VT achieve. I want schools like Miami to achieve what you listed above.
That's what the linebacker out of BC (Mark Herzlich, I think?) had a few years ago, isn't it? I only ask, because he kicked that cancer's ass and is still in the NFL. Hopefully Conner can do the same. Best of luck to him.
All time, sure. But since Romo started? The Skins have been pretty consistently terrible in that time.

# | Report: Memphis Assistants Holman Wiggins and James Shibest to Join Justin Fuente at Virginia Tech I may have to have words with him - let him know there can only be one Hokieshibe
Well, aside from Ried's last year, they were definitely a winning team (and that year, they were wracked with o-line injuries, as I recall). Maybe they were only a machine from Washington's perspective (we're some sort of a perpetual failure machine), but I guess I meant that Chip took over a team that was pretty solid top-to-bottom.
Their records prior to Chip Kelly's arrival:
2006 - 10-6
2007 - 8-8
2008 - 9-6-1 (I think McNabb didn't know you could tie - haha)
2009 - 11-5
2010 - 10-6
2011 - 8-8
2012 - 4-12
It wasn't like that team winning 10 games was exactly unprecedented, or that it needed to be blown up.
And over that time, he has systematically dismantled the unit which got those wins. I'm not an Eagles fan, but if I was, I'd be pissed. You trade away or let walk all your stars players out of arrogance that your scheme can overcome any and all personnel deficiencies. The Eagles have lost so much talent on offense (not just skill position - o-line too). He basically took apart the machine that Ried built, and remade the team in his own vision, and it's been a mess all year. And that's in an NFC East that is just atrocious this year (I mean, the Redskins are playing the Giants for first place this week - ew)
Nothing in the rule book that says a dog can't coach!
Sure, but you could also say that well executed blocking is necessary for a back (even one as good as Fournette) to reach their potential.
David Bowie.
Agree to disagree. Grimes is the run game coordinator for a team that had Fournette as the lead dog for the Heisman the first half of the season.

I mean, he has tentacles on his face, but he's an ancient alien thing. He's like a dragon with an octopus for a head.
Ktulu isn't a kraken... It's just another spelling for Cthulhu
Holy hotlinks, Batman!
Yeah, I really really don't get the Richt infatuation on these boards. He's safe, but he seems to me like he has the lowest ceiling of any of the seriously considered candidates. I worry he's already peaked.
The way I see it, things are about to go tits-up in King's Landing, and will probably result in the deaths of most major characters there (including all of the Lannisters). If that goes down, then Jaime doesn't really have any connection to the politics of Westeros anymore - he'll be a free agent with an army (two if you count the Blackfish's army) at his back, and his only surviving friends will be up in Winterfell, fighting the undead.
Plus, this would mean that you've got the Starks, Knights of the Veil (presumably), Lannisters, Wildlings all putting aside their collective differences to take on the white walkers. Throw in Danny's army showing up with the Unsullied, Daathrki, Martells and Greyjoys, and you've got almost every major house/power in the world united under one banner. Thematically, that'd be pretty cool.
