it's sports winning is better than losing, and conference re alignments have brought a little of losing.
I guess I'm saying that, for some of those programs, the future wasn't guaranteed, and the losses might've been worse if they didn't move.
I'm also saying that circumstances are different in every situation:
- VT - that data point is heavily skewed by our second decade in the acc. Our first decade in the ACC was far more successful than our time in the BE.
- Miamis challenges in the ACC have way more to do with the nationalization of recruiting and Miami's lack of commitment.
- Colorado has had one good coach in the last 4 decades - if you take Bill Callahan out, I bet the records are way more comparable.
- Nebraska's bygone advantages (finding diamonds in the rough, being the first college football program to have an S&C program, etc) have nothing to do with conference affiliation, and have far more to do with the nationalization of the sport and the rise of then internet recruiting era.
FAM! Yay! We won.
Went back and rewatched all of Laws snaps. Apparently he only had 15, but I noticed him so many times watching live.
And I regret to inform you about the tackle availability in the portal...missing out on Johnny Williams from wvu is devastating to this team
I was on TSL for a long time (before they re-branded from HokieCentral) until that place went to toxic hell, and I found this nice little haven with just the right balance of fandom and Xs and Os.
There's (likely) a large enough group of IT-savvy peeps around here that would pitch in to support keeping the site up / modernized. I'm not much for web development, but I know cloud (AWS specifically) and would be happy to contribute some pro bono consulting. If there's mutual interest feel free to message me directly.

I spent some time on 247 while inactive on here, and yes - every single poster there needs years of therapy.
I appreciate your transparency, even if I don't like how this is looking to ultimately go. I've enjoyed my time here and I appreciate what you helped to cultivate here. It always felt like a place that I could return to from some time away and not miss too much of a beat.
Came over from TSL in 2013(?) and after North End Zone went inactive, I've never even lurked anywhere else (except on Le Sabre for a weekend each November)
Muck Fiami FAM!
Just caught the condensed game on YouTube. Poteat FAM!
Don't blame em
Sound has been turned down since the Autism awareness game. I will ask Jed's wife on Monday why it is still so quiet.
Moving up to power conferences is always better even with a not great winning percentage because of the money. Both Utah and TCU have had some success at the higher conferences.
For most of the others who knows, Nebraska has fallen off like no other, Colorado might have a chance at resurgamce now that they play in the Big 12 again. Miami isn't coming back, Rutgers, eh who cares, Maryland best days are behind them. I really don't see these teams getting back to where they were, but maybe the money was worth it. Maybe the stability of a conference for another decade is good. Just looking at all these teams most of them in bad spots and not going in the direction needed to be what they one were. For VT it wasn't the conference as much as Beamer retiring. For Muami, their recruiting advantage is gone due to hudl and other means.
But it's sports winning is better than losing, and conference re alignments have brought a little of losing.
Wow! That's crazy! Tough to worry about football with that going on. I can't even imagine what that would be like.
Okay, I guess 99.5% of people knew who he was before the Fresh Prince TV show came out. I'll be the .5% that didn't.
I grew up in the 80's and my sister is 10 years older than me and neither of us nor anyone in our circles knew of him before the show.
Good to know, learn something new every day.
Nuuuuuuu
For all the talk about getting OL portal players...we have to get the defense right! I hope the DC is ready to get to work.
The Bungles O Line looks like another one I watched last night.
Hockey school!
Dex ain't calling the plays, so I'll blame Allen. Lol
TARHOLE FAM....SMOKED EM
Was in Hoodbridge in middle school. Being from Philly they did several DC area concerts back then.
Think he'll spend more time in the backfield than Lane did
