Late to this one. But what gets his (dcwilson's) goat is that every time there's a breakdown on D (loss-inducing level, or significant failure to adjust), there's a loud faction of people who circle the wagons and treat Foster as if he's some mythical being. They shout down any criticism, and offering all manner of apology, typically along the lines of "it was the Offense's fault/the D was gassed"

Is dcwilson coarse about the way he says it? Maybe. But there's validity inside the frustrated posts too.

This may have been a reply to me...I say it could be used as a reward/incentive.

I also think by now you should by now have dispensed with the notion that starts in this offense are meaningful. Remember when Sam Rogers was the starting tailback?

I'm calling it a power move. Sort of becoming standard Fuente M.O.

In this case, let's see if any VT beat reporters have the stones to ask the obvious. Then you'll see where the power lies. If they don't, Belicheck-lite gets to eat his cake and have it too.

As it is, there are 1/2 a dozen beat reporters hashing the same quotes, and tweeting them within seconds of one another. VT beat coverage is straight boring now.

Fraternities do themselves no favors. And the sooner girls stop dating frat guys, the faster they'll disappear. Can't happen soon enough.

Not sure anyone went that far. And this situation aside, "justice systems" of whatever flavor inside academic systems, have not proven to be the exemplars of the rule of law in the sense of presumption of innocence, burden of proof, rights to confront accusers, etc.

And very little is known about VT's Honor Council system. Even the school's website gives what I'd call murky details. And who the heck knows about the consistency of sanctions? Not me.

I suspect it's the lack of clarity that gets most people making assumptions.
