They'd claim they would roll us by 50 in the rematch because they'd have the suspended players back.
Good God if there's ever been a game with more locker room material, I haven't seen it. We straight up beat these guys, there was no question which was the better team that night, and we still are double digit underdogs in our own stadium. This has a '95 Sugar Bowl feel as far as the level of statement that our program could make.

# | Frank Beamer Hopes Virginia Tech's Next Head Coach "Would Come From Our Staff" Add on to that the fact that the short passing game has become our de facto run game. I agree, as the run game improves, pass totals will diminish. I would say, however, I expect our YPA to go up at that point, as our passing game would become more vertical.
This was covered in number 8.

# | Frank Beamer Hopes Virginia Tech's Next Head Coach "Would Come From Our Staff" comments from Frank like his iconic three things can happen when you pass line
We are passing more now than the program ever has under Beamer.
[Frank] is responsible for the program's philosophies and directions, so he likely does influence things in that way.
That's what I was saying when I said you could argue he hires the wrong type of OC. Frank wants a multiple offensive scheme that values the run. Every OC he's ever had has put that type of offense on the field. So yes, he certainly does affect the offense in the fact that he has a say in the type of OC we go after, but there's no evidence he does anything at all to control the offense that the OC is running. I have never heard of him overruling a called play in-game, nor giving any offensive directive other than the generic "run the ball more" sort of thing that every coach is going to do.

# | Frank Beamer Hopes Virginia Tech's Next Head Coach "Would Come From Our Staff" Which was obviously the beginning of the end of his tenure. I don't really see your point here. Stiney was on the way out at that point, due to an uproar from the fan base that Beamer just couldn't ignore anymore. Frank was looking for a way to maintain staff stability while addressing the issues that had become too big to sweep under the 10-win rug any longer.
If anything, it's the exception that proves the rule.

# | Frank Beamer Hopes Virginia Tech's Next Head Coach "Would Come From Our Staff" Really not a shred of evidence to support that claim, though. Frank has always been a proponent of the "let your coaches coach" philosophy. Rickey Bustle ran the offense exactly the way he wanted to, and there's no reason to believe that Bryan Stinespring didn't do the same. By all indications, Scot Loeffler is 100% in control of the offense. Now, an argument can be made that Frank selects the wrong type of OC, but I don't see any signs of HC interference in how the offense is run.
As a duck billed platypus, this sucks ass.
Bryan Stinespring never played a down of college football, and he's one of the better tight end coaches in P5 football.
Unpossible.

# | Virginia Tech Football Recruiting: 2016 WR Divine Deablo Commits to the Hokies #SOURCES ALERT!!!
This is all hearsay. I know nothing official and am not inside any inner circle.
Rumor is Conner committed to a non-commitable offer. After committing verbally, the coaches really haven't pursued his recruitment that hard and I don't think he's returned to campus since. Everything I've heard is that he will wind up elsewhere.
That and a buck-fifty will buy you a cup of coffee, though.

A friend of mine played in the WFA, and that is some smashmouth football. As far as fundamentals and technique go, I absolute agree that WFA experience translates to any other level of football in terms of coaching. I really hope she does well, because I never met a glass ceiling I didn't wanna see smashed.
But if we should happen to get both...
those games were pure extasy!
Are you saying he's MDMAwesome?
Admittedly.
Best move the GA has made in a while, IMO. I was very impressed. The VA craft beer scene is better than Illinois', and that's saying something. Only place I've seen that comes close is Colorado.
The raised fist design also reminds me of Revolution Brewing in Chicago, and that association is a big plus in my world.
It does seem like the same conversations are had recurrently on here. But that's just an issue of several posters having their own strongly formed opinion and voicing that opinion in regards to whatever the topic of conversation is. I have no issue with that, so long as nobody pulls a Bengal and goes from discourse to full thermonuclear meltdown without provocation.
I thought so too, until Ellen Pao got the axe and the discussion heated up of Reddit clamping down on extreme offensive content. Some of those subreddits...wow.
I'll also add, it's the offseason, so there is not enough substantial football content to generate serious discussion. The forums kind of overrun the place from January-August, and understandably so. Things will lock back on target come next month with fall workouts begin, and the last two weeks of August will probably be more tension-filled than a John Woo movie.
Have you structured user surveys to specifically query re: gifs adding to or detracting from gif value? If not, you just got your primary indicator that it might be an issue.
Don't start duplicate threads. Use the tracker.
In the spirit of this, is it possible to eventually (lower priority) tweak the site search to specify whether we're searching for titles or body text, forums or articles? Obviously if it's a new/hot topic, a cursory glance at the tracker will tell you if you're late to the party. For more general forum conversation like "Official Pizza Thread" or "Official Beer Thread" or whatever, sometimes it's hard to filter through search results manually to see if there's already a thread like the one you want to create.
Okay, somebody help me out here. What used to be where Sharkey's is now, when Sharkey's was next door? This would be circa 1999.
