That would likely be true once the spring portal window opens.
We were recruiting over him anyway
I got a new Vizio a few years ago (65" M series) and have been having issues with some of the local dimming zones (I think I have like 100 different zones) getting stuck with different brightness during all content that really shows up as different color rectangles in the background when the content is white/light. It's extremely annoying and seems to be not uncommon for their local array dimming
What I do is just never connect the TV to the internet and then use a firestick. It is still tracking you / feeding you ads, but at least the interface is better than the TV one that gets bloated.
Are we at the phase where we actually DON'T want Dex anyways as he would be a bad fit and has no P4 DC experience??
I am sure they can transfer in spring again
I think something this offseason changed, and now the transfers sign binding agreements with the school. Not like the last few offseasons where there was nothing binding transfers and they could back out.
I think people are just trying to make logical deductions about this. Dex makes the most sense to have been the target given the delay in the announcement while PSU was still playing, his connection to Pry, familiarity with the scheme, and ability to hire given budget since he has been passed over for the sole job at PSU before and we could give him a raise and promotion that they couldn't match. Banks would be a slam dunk but realistically, who is leaving a $1.5MM job at UT to come to VT? Especially if you had offers from Miami and Clemson so now he's probably going to get closer to $2MM at UT. A lot of other names thrown around are retreads. And we know Pry is likely to hire someone he knows personally or is at least familiar with and knows his scheme.
Now with the Allen news suddenly leaking, it's safe to say we may have held out waiting out of respect/deference and now might pay for it.
Just hit the input button on the remote until you find the one you are looking for.
Auto Motion Plus or Picture Clarity, depending on when you bought it. Additionally, it seems like some of them have standard and an HDR/HDR+ (Netflix, and some other apps) situation where you have to disable it in both modes or else some modes will still have it. This sounds immensely frustrating.
If Dex is gone, how many of the defensive transfers coming in are not coming in any longer? Since we have not heard of any of them backing out, I'm hoping against my prior VT experiences that we still either (1) have him in the boat or (2) he was never the main target and the one who was/is the main target is still expected to be here. Guess we will see. If we see multiple defensive people who said they were coming to VT backing out, we are totally hosed.
Pry's loyalty to CJF
My brain registered that as a different CJF at first read and I was thoroughly confused!
I think everyone is making loads of assumptions.
what is it called on a Sammy?
I think it's less about Pry's loyalty to CJF and more about every one else's. Was listening to a Penn State pod last week and they talked about PSU has had one of the lowest transfer rates out of the program of any P4 school and how coaches don't leave for lateral moves (ironically, the Tom Allen move busts that wide open lol).
Regardless, not a good look for Pry right now...
I will be honest, I bought Mom one of the big 65" Walmart Brand Roku TV's. It has worked fine and has a very simple interface.
If, and BIG if we went all in on Dex, and because of Pry's loyalty to Franklin we held off on the contract until after they were done playing, then Pry certainly isn't putting VTs best interests first with this job and never will. Ridiculous that his loyalty held things up in the first place, and now PSU can and will likely promote Dex to full DC. James Franklin has screwed Pry and VT yet again.
The more I see, the more and more I think Pry and Whit deserve to go down with this ship when it's all said and done.
Obviously going to wait and see how this plays out, but this is looking more and more like a big swing and miss.
This is true, and makes a big problem (many TV shows and movies have all but abandoned the art of properly (or interestingly!) lighting shots) worse. While I prefer film, you can do some really cool stuff with digital, but a lot of digital looks like shit because they aren't trying to do interesting things, lighting shots well, and/or it is being poorly color graded.
If the Dex ship has truly sailed and we are that late in the cycle (honestly I don't track most non-HC coaching changes outside of VT), then maybe Pry's best chance at saving his own butt is to oversee the defense himself.
That's part of the reason I love it. I can hop up from Beaufort and get to it from 17/Bees Ferry without dealing with the rest of Charleston traffic....of course my wife will undoubtedly want to go to Trader Joes or something in Mt P after we're done eating and I'll end up sitting in traffic anyway.
I'm also on the Davi train. No idea if he'll be any good, but I feel like he has the work ethic, the access to great coaching, and athlete genetics. We'll see what happens.
Yes it is often called the "soap opera effect" and is now standard on basically every TV and turned on, so it's on you to find it and turn it off.
Palmira is the BOMB! Went two weeks ago for the first time. Only reason I didn't recommend is because it's in West Ashley and I try to avoid that traffic as much as possible. But if you're in the area and can make it that way, I'd definitely hit Palmira. If you go, you MUST get the beef cheeks *chef's kiss emoji*
I feel like the Charleston restaurant list could go on forever but you and HokieAndrew nailed some of the frequently overlooked places (Glass Onion, Maison, Bistronomy by Nico [Nico and Laura (Summerville are also dynamite)].
I'll throw in Palmria for BBQ which I put up next to Lewis and Rodney Scotts.
R Kitchen is definitely worth a go if you're family is not picky and enjoys good food. 5 Course set menu you won't know what you're eating until they serve it to you, small casual atmosphere where you're having open conversation with the chefs and other patrons. Awesome experience.
Y'all, it was never going to be Dex. Besides that I've heard this from a very reliable source, here are some other important notes:
- Pry didn't bring Dex with him when he left PSU.
- Franklin hired Diaz to be DC instead of promoting Dex from Co DC
- when Diaz left, Franklin again hired someone else instead of promoting Dex
I'm not saying I know who the hire is but I am saying it was never Dex and, if past is precedent, he won't be promoted to DC at PSU this time either
