Well that was fun. My hope is that the boys find the silver lining in this and see that yeah we can beat some of the best in the nation, but that doesn't mean we can coast. This needs to be a wake up call. Play our game and we can beat anyone.

Whatever channel picks up the ACC Network in your area, for me I think it is the CW, or maybe WGNT

| 9 years 6 months # | Jerod Evans Announces He's Headed to the NFL

But it is ok to take the stance that he could've probably made himself more money by coming back to school.

Agreed that it is okay to take that stance, and I definitely agree that he probably could have made more next year by coming back for 1 more rodeo. We don't know the circumstances behind his decision though, so I'm guessing (100% speculation), that more factors were in play than just the risk of serious injury next year

It's easy to say it's a risk you would take when you don't have an NFL paycheck dangling in front of your face.

I'd like to say I'd take the risk as well, but between the ACL, and didn't he have an ankle issue bothering him this year? I'd probably cash in as well.

My hatred of all things ND makes me hope we've got Jackson taking snaps next year.

If we only beat WVU, Clemson and UVA (dont play ND) next year, that means we'll have lost to Delaware, ECU, ODU, Duke, UNC, Pitt, GT, Miami and BC.

I would not consider that a success of any kind.

| 9 years 6 months # | Report: Former Hokie Safety Keion Carpenter Passes Away (Confirmed by Family)

Dang

'They were running to the car when he slipped, fell, hit his head and slipped into a coma. It was just a freak accident,' Carpenter's cousin Jamila Smith told The Baltimore Sun. 'He was always healthy; he went to the doctor, ate well and worked out.'

edit: from what I read the "They" referred to was Keion and his son.

Agreed, we should be thanking Bert for the 10 minutes of arguing his rules committee knowledge, we were a different team after that.

| 9 years 6 months # | OT: Tyrod Taylor benched following Rex Ryan firing

I get the business decision of this, don't want to risk the big injury payout in a meaningless game. My hope is that this offseason Tyrod's contract is restructured (his performance doesn't warrant the big money he is slated to get, even though his performance was largely impacted by WR injuries, bad pass protection).

Restructure the deal, get some OL help, FIX THE DEFENSE, and hope the receivers stay healthy, Bills will be playoff bound next year.

| 9 years 6 months # | New Mock Draft: Has Tyrod throwing to Isaiah Ford

Would love to see that, unfortunately, I think Ryan is done in Buffalo, and I think if Ryan goes, Tyrod is out as well (hope I'm wrong). Been seeing a bunch of rumors of Tom Coughlin to Buffalo
