# | Justin Fuente and Staff Embark on Series of Coaching Clinics to Build a Brand in Virginia I just don't get semi-formal for football. I don't even agree that it's a "Southern" thing. It's a pretentious douchebag thing.
Glad he had the courtesy to do it on a day I'll be sloshed anyway. Very easy to incorporate celebration/commiseration into an Irish holiday.

# | Recruiting and the Changing Role of Virginia Tech's Defensive End and Backer We're moving toward stouter defensive ends, and our DBs will learn and play one position...
A LOLUVA logo in Chicago Maroon.
Did he no show, or did he actually give his verbal to NC State while on our campus?
Bowties are a great accessory. I have six or eight hanging in my closet, right beside my regular neckties. But unlike the Wa-fools, I understand that you can't use them interchangeably.
Yeah, I want him at safety too. Mook and Facyson at the corners with Alexander roaming the field like a cat ready to pounce is my preferred defensive backfield. But if Facyson can't go, we might not have another option.
#AlexanderToCorner just gained steam.
He went to the Carson Palmer school of money management.
God DAMMIT, Joe. You've stolen my chance to be the inaugural member of The Key Player's Club. Now I have to live with the ignominy of forever having HOAT's sloppy seconds.
Oh well. I'm still getting off cheaper than I was on PayPal, and I get a keychain.
I'm saying it's unfortunate that we're at a point in our society where people fear the unknown.
I'm going way, WAY OT here, but fearing the unknown isn't something that we've gotten to the point of. We, and almost all species, are biologically programmed to fear the unknown, because fearing the unknown gives a species an evolutionary advantage. Our cave-dwelling ancestors were more likely to survive and produce offspring if they treated anything they didn't understand as a threat. I'd argue we are just now barely getting to the point where we are starting to evolve beyond fearing the unknown.
Seconded. Motion carries.
There is nothing to back this up but my own gut feeling (no #sauces here) but I'm not optimistic about either Marshawn or Shai's prospects going forward.
It's like Anton Chekhov said: if there's an RPG in the first act, it must set a lake of zombies on fire in the third act. Or something like that.
Might be the least necessary /s ever.
Giving the replay official authority to stop play if he thinks there was targeting should reduce the number of "I don't know what I just saw some I'll throw a flag to be safe" targeting penalties. If you're going to err on the side of caution (and in this case, we should) then this is a better setup. If the on-field officials aren't sure, they don't throw the flag, knowing the booth will buzz down. As it stands now, if the flag is thrown, there's an obligation to stand behind in in a show of taking head injuries safely, even if review shows it wasn't an ejectionable penalty. With the buzz in, there can ultimately be NO penalty if the replay official doesn't find anything.
Now we just need to resurrect Grillin' with Wolf in some form. I loved the opponent-themed tailgating recipes.
Cleaning it and it went off? I've used the same excuse with my wife before.
But imma buy one anyway.
This conversation happens literally every time this clip gets posted, and I'll go on record as saying there is absolutely no way this is a targeting penalty in today's game. Ward comes in clean, from the front, helmet down, and makes initial contact with his own shoulder to the other player's sternum, below his shoulder pads. It was a textbook block.
I love being a football fan of an engineering school. You think shit like this gets posted on SEC forums?
Redacted. The post below this one says the exact thing I came here to day.
Do not TKP without coffee, friends.
Those were designed rollouts, as compared to the "escape hatch" rollouts we've all become accustomed to seeing in the Newsome era, where Tyrod was conditioned to run like hell when protection (inevitably) broke down.
We went through a LOT of barbecue...
This is exceptional.
As much as Frank Beamer is known to have staked his name on a sense of family and community, Fuente seems to be expanding that tradition to the entire state of Virginia. I honestly don't think we could have made a better hire in terms of "fit."
