You still dont have to read it. I don't!
I left 247 and one of the main reasons was so I didn't have to read this nonsense, I was so bummed when he migrated to TKP
Got to build the house for the $EC to live in....
why do you always write like this? you make close to no sense, like ever...
do better ffs
I hope the kid get paid and is an absolute flop so we can continue to laugh at these collectives throwing millions of dolllrs at kids that have no proven value.
Definitely a mixed bag of WVU fan feelings. Half think his success has been propped up by known HS studs choosing to stay in state at WVU and he has no developmental upside. The other half see to think he's god recreated as a OL coach.
He's unhappy with the Moore hire basically
He wanted this guy instead...

Maybe it's the rum and hot apple cider I'm having while wrapping presents, but I have no idea what you are saying right now
Woke up from a migraine induced nap and this is the first thing I read. Realized my brain required ChatGPT. So here's its interpretation:
This passage appears to be a combination of sports commentary, frustration, and skepticism about the performance and potential of a college football team, specifically focusing on the offensive line (oLine). Here's a breakdown of the key points and ideas:
1. **Praise and Criticism of Teams**: The writer references a variety of teams and players:
- "home-state C.news," "BIG time UGA1," and "Vice-Squad" are likely references to college football programs, each receiving mixed reviews.
- "n.Dame1" (Notre Dame) is mentioned as having talent, but the implication seems to be that just having talent isn't enough.
- "po' Crooked" might refer to a team or player with issues, possibly underperforming.
2. **Lack of Analysis**: The writer expresses disappointment that most people aren't critically analyzing the situation, relying on surface-level praise without any deeper critique or film study. This suggests frustration with how teams or players are being evaluated.
3. **Pass Protection**: The writer notes that pass protection (the ability to protect the quarterback) seems somewhat better than expected but questions how this will align with a coach's desire to focus on a run-heavy offense (which is often a hallmark of certain teams like Virginia Tech and coach Brent Pry). This could be a concern about whether the team is structured in a way that best suits its offensive strategy.
4. **Offensive Line Struggles**: The writer points out the offensive line's weaknesses, referring to their low rankings (115th in run-blocking and 92nd in pass protection) and a "learning curve" that has been reset multiple times in recent years. This suggests that the offensive line is underperforming, with little improvement due to turnover or lack of development.
5. **Coaching and Personnel Concerns**: There's skepticism about the head coach or offensive line coach's ability to fix these issues. The line "why is this oLine Coach1, *the*, one?" suggests questioning whether the offensive line coach is truly the right person for the job given the team's struggles and ongoing issues.
6. **Talent and Hype**: The writer is critical of the "hype train" surrounding certain players or programs, pointing out that despite the praise, there has been little tangible success (described as an "Amtrak derailing"). This seems to imply that the hype doesn't match the reality, particularly in terms of performance and improvement.
7. **Final Point on Coaching and Results**: The writer ends by noting that the offensive line coach may only have a year to prove himself ("1-year" unless an extension is granted), questioning whether the team can turn things around with the current leadership.
In summary, this passage seems to be a blend of skepticism and frustration regarding a football team's offensive line performance, coaching decisions, and the gap between hype and reality. The writer seems to be critical of the lack of critical thinking or deeper analysis, questioning whether the right coaching staff is in place to address the team's issues.
Because...
Well... everyone told me how great home-state C.news was. Likewise BIG time UGA1 was. Ditto Vice-Squad (who at least went at peeps kinda hard at times). n.Dame1 (who looks pretty shiny with all that Talent(s), again-- right); and then po' Crooked.
That's every1-- in case you are keeping score @home... no analysis, no film-study; nary a critical thinking.
So, what Eye can see early on?
Seems a bit better at pass-pro'... how does that fit us/VeeTee and Pry's desire to run first?
Additionally, none of my w.V.u. sources are left crying. Same as what I wrote of the ex-Baylor-Qb3.
And... he has nearly nothing left to work with off of the objectively: 115th best run-blockers and the 92nd best V-cup guys {sic: pass-pro'}. Plus the Learning Curve is on its 3rd time (o, o, o, o) reset in 5 years. Nearly all of the Experience Curve is gone to boot. Now we have guys who could not beat out the '24 Baltic Ave (sans even a single house) 1's, and they have what(s)???
i.e., everyone is *THE* one b.street!!! (On, day no.1; granted)... nonetheless; where are they on day-(n)one?
This Moore is the new mo' guy has basically 1-year; unless Whitlock extends Pry... see?
"Hype Train all a (message) aboard!!!"

Well, where Eye breaking-tape come from the hype train just went an Amtrak derailing o fer 5, see?
So, tell me... with all of that science-fact obviously in place... why is this oLine Coach1, *the*, oneโ
DISCUSS >>> cuss

If we can get a good OL it completely changes so much about our prospects. This seriously could be a sneakily major hire at least in the ACC
Very satisfying to read the collective opinion on this hire. All positive so far (best I can see). And unlike Rudolph I will trust that Coach Moore is planning on starting and finishing a job.
Duke is leaking false information (that can't be verified) to make other recruits believe that they are big spenders
Seems super dumb. Mensah is going to see the report and if he's not getting paid 8 mil over 2 years he's going to squeal to other recruits
The shitbag is still at it

Especially if they are slinging around $4M a year. Push for the starters from SEC schools with that money.
If the Pavia ruling stands it may mean Brumgield has another year of eligibility.
I'll be driving through Morgantown tomorrow
{b.street's} "And... ?" {/feets}

My 4 decades+ State and #24 in Sporting News winning cleats are right behind me... almost put 'em on for the Usyk v. Fury tilt...

He's from a lower tier of football, so that means Duke isn't serious about football. They should be getting kids from P4 schools or else they're small-time.
welllllllll... I'd like to say it could not hurt.
Tho' Eye can 'hear' the grindstone puttin' in sparky work on those pitchfork tips... too. (So, although want to answer a 'yes'... I gotta say I doubt it... which is social needia 2day=everything sad).

His mom is a Hokie as well. I don't think that was enough, but a serious OL coaching hire keeps us in the conversation. He's class of '26, so a quick turnaround on OL next year could be massive for recruiting. Not just for this kid, but a lot of others as well. If I'm a 90+ rated OL recruit, I might be leery about going to VT right now. We have an opportunity to change this narrative. Others have said it better than I, but getting dudes into the program and coaching them up is vital in offensive line development. We need the coaching, but we also need the dudes.
Say "Hi" to them, but not "Hey baby, how you doin'?"
