This is huge. Jerry Kill is an excellent coach. And Minnesota was known for its run game under him.
Josh Jackson looked like hot garbage against Temple.
Sorry if I sounded accusatory. I was trying to further your point, not refute it. Nobody should be satisfied with the product on the field right now, but also nobody should let the game of college football make them miserable. And a day with bad VT football is better than a day without it
The only counter I can offer to that is it was clear we were 100% committed to the run, and that really shortened the game. No, the offense wasn't good, but our game plan also limited our productivity. The first quarter felt like blink and you miss it. And to the staff's credit, they didn't abandon the run. They were going to sink or swim by establishing a run game. Thank God Keshawn King answered the bell.
We came back from down 11. Our players play with a ton of heart. We also have glaring issues. We aren't there yet. We might not have a head coach who can take us there.
You can simultaneously celebrate wins while acknowledging our issues. The fact is, we have major problems in our program. Some of which don't appear to be being addressed. At the same time, our defense is light years ahead of where I thought it would be this season, and the offense is playing through Willis's many, many (far too many) mistakes.
We aren't a good football team. But I still love us.
KFK - Keep Feeding Keshawn.
FAM
We could be Tennessee.

Damn. I usually give fuck all about unis, but that is a sexy combo.
I tried to press play on that jpeg for far longer than I care to admit.
If you're gonna hit three barbecue places, make it Jack Stack, Q39 and Arthur Bryant's.
Get the crown prime beef ribs at Jack Stack, and get the carrot cake for dessert.
Risk torpedoing the program at the first bump in the road with a new head coach with an eight figure buyout? No thank you.

# | Baby Steps and Warning Signs: Film Review of a Virginia Tech 'W' against ODU Shit, yes, didn't even click with me that Hoffman was the starting center. We're down two centers through one game.

# | Baby Steps and Warning Signs: Film Review of a Virginia Tech 'W' against ODU I think this is a domino effect from losing Hoyt to injury game one. Losing your starting center right out of the gate is a huge adjustment.
Wow. Between this and the "Who is our next coach?" thread, I'm really starting to feel like everything special that originally attracted me to TKP is dead.
He is hands down the best they have on the payroll.
ITT: "Oh no, one of our four star QB recruits beat out our other four star QB recruit for the backup position!"
1. Drink a lot of bourbon
2. Consume a lot of smoked meats
3. Enjoy every second of Bud's last season
4. Avoid this place for 72 hours after every loss
This is the real world equivalent of shitposting.
If the Hokie House closes, we riot.
Determining the correct order of excitement is critical.
I'm hoping Portman can work under the unrestrained style of Taika Waititi. With her skill for deadpan, I could see her being hilarious in the best way possible.
The majority of streaming platforms will fail. People will pay for one streaming service. But fragmentation will kill this model. Nobody is going to subscribe to six or eight streaming services, because at that point you're paying as much as you did for cable. I fully expect a lot of these studios that are pulling their content from Netflix to come back to it once their own streaming platform fails. Meanwhile, Netflix made the smart investment in developing enough original content to weather the storm. Sure, there's a lot of people who just stream The Office, but there's a lot of people who come for Stranger Things and Dark, etc.
But the one company that has the wherewith to be a true Netflix competitor in terms of having enough original content to justify the cost of another streaming service (or convincing people to dump Netflix for another service) is Disney. The Mouse can take on anyone.
I hope they're planning to drop Doctor Strange into a Lovecraftian nightmare.
The calm before the Galactus storm.
Whoever's idea it was, it puts an exceptional coach on our staff. I would have no qualms with Kill being our head coach if his health has improved to the point he can coach again.
