Wondered what happen to him. Didn't remember him playing in second half, but saw him around one of the late huddles during a timeout with a towel over his shoulders.
Thanks for the update.
If he is both (a) great, and (b) sticks around a while, I'll tolerate almost any broadcast.
wanna see him crush schultz. theres a difference between being an asshole and actively trying to injure people.

Structured data is definitely difficult for language models. And it's always been an issue for language-based search engines. I haven't seen a model that can use language search request to know which math would be needed to be performed and where to get the input data. I think a categorical search engine that look for and pull that data would be able to pull it out, and a regression model could be used to learn how to get the answer.
Language models are now used to write code, like Github CoPilot (ChatGPT writes code too). So, it doesn't seem as far fetched to have a language model take a non-developer question, determine what it would need to learn how to get to answer and where to get the input data, write the code, and get an answer.
The G5 was at a huge disparity but Boise won games against marquee opponents; UCF claimed a national title, and Cinci got to the 4 team playoff. The odds were stacked against them, though, yes. It wasn't fair to them then, and it isn't fair to us now.
I know life ain't fair, but geez.
ACCs already poor production quality is going to cut off every single receiver in those ultra wide sets.
Oh god. In the case he's great and sticks around for awhile the potential of seeing these sets on any broadcast from the carrier dome hurts me.
We're in a cuck league.
I feel like I would have been happier with Taylor. If you're not loaded with talent, being innovative seems like the way to go. As far as hiring a guy from the NFL, granted Bowen was a position coach, not an analyst, that's similar to what we did. And Bowen consistently put up a good amount of points behind a weak line.
I think I said this when we were still looking for a DC - we could get a DC from a blue blood that had a top 5 defense, but if they can only be good with a team littered with 4 and 5 star talent, we wouldn't be doing ourselves any favors. We definitely need coordinators who can get the most out of whatever talent we have. Winning should help bring in more talent, but we need to win consistently first.
I mean, ultimately, no matter what I or anyone else on here says, we can be happy or upset at the hires, but on field results is all that matters. We could hate every hire and if they turned around and win 10 games their first season, nobody would give a shit what we thought about the hire initially. If we lose a lot, people won't focus on these hires exactly, it will be, "Pry dug his own grave and now we wait to see who our next HC will be."

# | Hokie Hoops Central: Virginia (12-12) at Virginia Tech (11-13) 2pm CW Network Turns out Jayden Schutt missed the second half against UVA because he was throwing up at halftime with the flu.
To be fair Gable Steveson is embarrassing everyone. He rag dolled Kueter this past weekend.
Winning is at least part of the formula for drawing better players. If he can get us one or more wins than losses in the regular season, we might see more interest from high 3 and 4 Star players which can build momentum.
My Hokie-high optimism wants to buy into that. My realism tells me progress is hardly ever a straight line. NTL, let's go HOKIES!
HOKIES!!
LET'S GO...
I'll have what he is smoking.

$30 for a VT putting mat is a steal. Promo FSDEALS got me free shipping (not sure if it's still valid)
Hopefully better means drawing up red zone and 3rd down plays that work and are well executed.
"Better" in this case equates to more yardage. His offenses had a nice run in the 2012-2015 range where they scores a LOT of TDs, but have otherwise put up an average of about 40-50 more yards per game and a similar number of TDs to VTs offenses. Watching decades of Hokie football has made me a fan of offensive efficiency. Complementary football is real. If we can capture more points per possession than the other guys, we win. Be that by offense, defense, TOP, turnovers.
Having said all that, sign me up 7500 yards and 50TDs next season! And Seifkes will look pretty good if he is playing from a double digit lead all season.
Experience tells me , he will work with what he has, and it will be the same key players we saw under Bowen (the ones that stay at least). When Fuente got here, he relied heavily on Cam Phillips, Ford, Rogers, etc. And the offense didn't look drastically different. I think you will see familiar faces passing it to familiar faces with a few new wrinkles. Your best players are your best players. So a heavy dose of Gosnell, Ayden Green, etc.
well, this season should be interesting at least. Fresh start on both sides of the ball - not how I'd have drawn it up but ... well, here we are. Let's see what happens.
Curious - did he run a hurry-up for all those seasons? I guess what I am trying to ask did he score on a higher percentage of drives, or just have a lot more drives to work with vs the very conservative Frank n Stiney VT?
Does it?
TL;DR
I like the hire. I'm sure as mentioned above is his hopeful ability to help with the half-ending scenarios which we botched a few times.
There's currently 65ish G5 programs. There are 3 programs that have had multi-year sustained success competing against Power 4/5 teams.
And this is how I believe the ACC and B12 will behave. Rather than letting the P2 separate, we will bend over backwards to compete at the same level. A small handful of teams will be able to compete at the same level for a stint here or there.
College football was never designed to be 'fair' - there's 135ish FBS teams that play 12 games each year, and then we have to find some way to crown a champion. I'm not looking for fair. In fact, I think one of the things that makes CFB so great is that a 4 score underdog can win. But that can't happen unless there's plenty of 4 score underdogs getting slaughtered each week.
Let's just call it what it is, and let the premier brands separate. FCS did it in the 70's and they maintained strong traditions. Why not us now?
To be honest, I think there should be more levels of stratification. Why, in 2025, do we pretend that ULM ($7.3m football budget), Virginia Tech ($32.4m football budget), and Ohio State ($72.3m football budget) are all playing at the same level? It's not the case.
