I feel the video of our DBs getting burned is being released on purpose as a smoke screen, in real life they are shutting down every play. These were scripted.

"Do I need to be a head coach just to be a head coach to please my ego? No. I'm on the biggest stage every week and that's what excites me, and I get an opportunity to do something special here."

That, in particular, says a whole lot about Bud Foster. So proud to have him as a Hokie.

Glad I didn't pick up my Taylor #5 Bills jersey yet!

I don't really have 1 NFL team, mainly follow our guys, but I kind liked rooting for the Bills last year, I hope they can work it out and keep Tyrod.

Unfortunately, this is always my first thing I think of when I think of Wilford. sigh.

Glad to see he is doing well though

I agree, I was talking more from thinking about the medical staff, I hope that if Outlaw suits up, he is no question healthy enough to do so. Again, if the doc says he is a go, I trust it and welcome it!

This is what Buzz Williams does. He identifies talent among the overlooked or under-recruited, he coaches them up and he gets them to feel the weight of the chip on their shoulder, and the end product is a team where the whole is better than the sum of the parts.

This method sounds familiar....can't put my finger on it. It's really going to get after me til I figure it out

this time a year creates such a conflict in my mind. I love summer, especially living at the beach....but dammit this makes me want the fall to be here!
