I got irrationally excited for a second that Joe was considering letting TKP regulars pen official articles every now and then.
Hyperloop promises to be transformational technology. The US made a disastrous decision to pull out of maglev development in the 80s, and that put the US behind the curve for high speed rail with little hope of ever catching up. It was one of the worst mistakes of the Reagan administration.
(Must...not...talk...about...politics...)
I'm hoping small minds with narrow vision don't repeat the same mistake with hyperloop. Either this technology or something derived from it is the future of mass transit.
The play calling had been top notch in our first two games, on both sides of the ball. It's up to the players to execute.
Meanwhile I'm sitting here trying to decide if you intentionally chose to misspell anomaly.
That we're a forum full of foodies?
Maiolinaise.
This is my first experience of the phrase "prohibitive favorite" that I can recall. Neat phrase.
Also, Orlando in early December wouldn't suck. Take in Disney or Universal and a Hokies game in the same trip.
Economic Sanctions 101.
People who say sanctions don't work, don't understand how sanctions work.
If it turns out indistinguishable from mayo, you shorted the garlic big time.
Horseradish aioli sounds balls-out amazing.
Agreed, and leg for Alton Brown.
However, if you are going to the trouble of making your own condiments, aioli is the only proper choice. Aioli >> mayo.
No small part of the failures of the Jacksonville and Tampa years was due to the fact that the game was nationally irrelevant and the conference's biggest bankable programs (which also happened to be the most geographically proximate programs) were in the doldrums. The ACCCG is now prominent in the CFP seeding, and FSU and Clemson are resurgent. The tire might be ripe for a move back to the Sunshine State.
At first there was much hesitation on the part of the NCAA, because they were worried about certain segments of the population. But things got smoothed over when they heard Ryan Lochte left after the Olympics were over.

# | From Justin Fuente to the Water Boys, Tech's Staff Takes Aim at Improving Ball Security The best example I can think of is the fact that for the second consecutive year, he found himself second on the depth chart in the off season despite being far and away our most aggressive blocker. The only difference being that unlike Searles, Vice didn't reinstate him at number one before the season started. That tells me whatever got him in Searels' doghouse probably repeated itself. If that isn't a good example of stubbornness, I don't know what is.
(Conjecture, sure, since neither Searles nor Vice discussed what the situation was, as it should be.)
I also get what you're saying about great leaders motivating, but that's not a maxim. Sometimes personality conflicts are too great to overcome in a supervisor relationship. Do we fault Kevin Rodgers for failing to get Marcus Vick to play to his full potential? (Not comparing Wyatt to Marcus, just making the broader point that sometimes you can have a great coach who can't get through to a talented by headstrong player.)
Either way, we need whatever the issue is to get resolved, because Wyatt Teller has the distilled essence of Jake Grove running through his veins, and we need him on the field.
Players I get. Why can't a paid professional coach sell his likeness? They can do commercials while players can't.
Okay, Ron Swanson.
I know. Weird, right? It's all about the presentation and expectation, I think. With a deviled egg, I expect a side dish, and the taste of a gussied up hard boiled egg. With egg salad, it's like "here's a glob of chunky yellow shit on your sandwich.
Also, my experience with egg salad has been a much runnier product that the creamy, savory heaven that is deviled egg filling.
Agreed, but when I want that taste I just whip up a batch of deviled eggs.
Any salad with marshmallows is okay with me.
I've never found a good way to give egg salad texture. I usually throw some cashews in chicken salad, but I haven't found anything friendly to the taste of egg salad to give it something other than the mouthfeel of a partially chewed and regurgitated hard boiled egg.

# | From Justin Fuente to the Water Boys, Tech's Staff Takes Aim at Improving Ball Security He'll be the first one to tell you that's some stilly stuff that is silly penalties, unnecessary. I ran him for one of them."
The biggest problem isn't that Wyatt makes mistakes. It's that he seems to be committed to making the same mistakes over again. The fact that he didn't adjust his technique after the first illegal block is what the issue was. He didn't get pulled after the first one, and he wasn't made to run for the first one. The first mistake is an honest one. The second is stubbornness.
And like I said in French's film review, it's not enough that Wyatt's the most aggressive blocker we have. Under Fuente's offense, the OL has to block the right way to set up and sell the play. Throwing the wrong block or using the wrong technique can blow up a play, even if the block itself is an IHOP.
Salads can incorporate a variety of foods including vegetables, fruits, cheese, cooked meat, eggs, grains and nuts.
Crust is grains, yo.
Dunno what it's called, but heirloom tomatoes, cucumber and sweet onion. It goes with anything.
The thing I keep circling around to is the 2015 spring game. Lefty fairly well lit up the defense. It didn't hold throughout the season, but that Lefty/Bud matchup was decidedly slanted in Lefty's favor. In my nightmares I see a similar result happening.
