At least now you're acknowledging that Bush was a game changer. That's all my original comment was suggesting; RB's can absolutely change a season and so can a prolific WR. I used Desmond Howard as an example, but so was Moss, Marvin Harrison.
I'm in full agreement with OP about the QB position and both lines, (i will disagree with the CB sentiment though).
I'm not arguing which is more of a difference maker but that RB/WR can absolutely be game changers.

edit: also Lendale White was good but he was no where as good as Bush. If you were a schoolyard captain, you're picking Reggie Bush 101 times out of 100 over Lendale.

Bush was electric and was all over the field which caused match up issues, but out of the backfield (traditional RB) Lendale was better.

Steve Smith and Dwyane Jarrett were also matchup nightmares. Every skill player was drafted. They had two Hiesman winners, That defense was nasty. There are maybe 3-4 worse examples (2001 miami, 1995 Nebraska) as a single player dominating. Chris Johnson is the best person ive seen listed as he had very little around him, but not 5*.

I think the shenanigans that occurred up the road in Hooville for their president search which happened in between the election and the inauguration might provide some background. Plenty of material out on the web on how that played out.

That's a fun town. I was standing in the rainy woods of WV, attending the same MDW camping party for the 42nd year in a row. I had one Busch Light, six or seven Ranch Waters, a dozen Budweisers and 1000 Model Zero Especiales. Little bit of bourbon and wine too!

It's inherently political. It's silly to pretend otherwise, even if there is an additional justification to making the move. The prudent thing would be to take a skeptical posture until more information comes out. So far the governor's office has declined to give any additional context.

Rokovich was a board member from 2002-04 - a time when VT was investing competitively with athletics.

Weren't we so underfunded that our HoF football coach committed to coach another school?

We were the worst basketball team in the Big East.

As full time Big East members (2000-2003) we won 3 conference championships all in men's golf.

It's really hard to say we were investing well at that time when we basically were dragged into the ACC which was the main driver to increase our athletics. So if he had a hand on getting us into the ACC then sure, but i dont remember him ever mentioned.

Lol what? Who said Pulisic is the best player in the world? Alexi Lalas? No reasonable person with any amount of soccer knowledge would ever accuse Pulisic of being the best player in the world. Not even the best in a league. He's arguably the best player in the USMNT squad but that's not exactly saying much.

Pro squads spend lots of money on lots of players. Some warranted, some not. Pulisic getting a big paycheck doesn't necessarily make him a world class footballer.
