Dihydrogen peroxide?
The military has a branch all doing training every day specialized in how to take advantage of it but it causes millions of dollars in damage every year.

Joe Rudolph has some connections to the program.

Veracity that!

Here's a translation from chatgpt:

**Fair play. I told TSL the same thing...
...a contract year isn't the right time.

1) Now, this part confuses me a bit... (Not that things would change—most players are 'stuck' in their system, doing things their way).

However... we don't have a player who can play Ng1 (a position on the defensive line) or a player who can match up one-on-one in both inside and outside situations (similar to how much m. Webb helped Bruce and the team). This seems to rule out any 3-4 defensive or other odd-numbered formations (like a 52 defense, etc.).

We don't have a true Mike linebacker (the leader of the defense, usually in the middle). Boomfield didn't impress, and then his playing time was reduced.
We also don't have a set of inside linebackers like Mike Johnson and his twin brother, which would fit a 44 defense.
It looks like we don't have any players that fit the pure Strongside or Weakside linebacker roles (like Sam or Will).

We need a true Cover-1 safety or someone with range, like a dead man needs a coffin.

So... with all this, what does this defense fit?

Because it doesn't even match his favorite approach: the gap-fill to spill (free hitter) concept.

**3) Addendum... do you think this defensive set is starting to show its age against the current "basketball-on-grass" era of football?**

P.S. The 2025 team looks really intimidating in the trenches... though, there I go again... always getting ahead of myself.

This message is filled with football jargon and metaphor, referencing defensive schemes, players, and tactics. The speaker is reflecting on how the current defense seems outdated or mismatched for modern football, especially in the context of the way offenses are played now (fast-paced, spread offenses). They also seem to be critical of certain players' performances and are expressing concerns about how the team will adapt to these challenges.

Fuck ESPN. That is all. But have fun if you are playing.

This has been my gripe for awhile. All the Hokie Club benefits revolve around attendance of sporting events in Blacksburg. This doesn't provide much incentive to alumni outside the 6 hr radius to join or donate. Any benefits like conference call with coaches or the AD etc or priority for away tickets that are within 2 hrs of a member (ie Notre lame tickets would be offered to Chicago Hokies first then the rest of the HC by standing). Just come up with something other than just season tickets.

The one thing about Stinespring is he could recruit. I don't know how he did it, but he brought in some really good talent for us. Would love to have him on the recruiting staff if he'd take it.

That would be an interesting study to see. I'm sure it depends on the specialty of physician, but I feel for the people going into pediatrics with a quarter million dollars of debt making 150k out of training. I am sure they'd struggle to catch up to the plumber financially.

I highly suggest that whitecoatinvestor website linked to above for any high earners trying to learn more about personal finance.

I dunno man. Other than Clemson, the last time we lost a game that we didn't score at least 30 points in was way the hell back in September. If we're losing games and we scored 30 or more, I call that a problem with the defense.

2) Fair play. Eye told TSL the same...
...a contract season is not the time.
⏳ ----> ⌛️

1) Now this one has me hung up a bit... (not that he would change-- most are 'marooned' (pardon the(ir) pun) in their system their way.

Tho'... we have no Ng1 or nose-to-nose or inside/outisde-eye-to-outside/inside-eye guy(s). (see: how much good m.Webb did for Bruuuuuuce and Co.) That seems to eliminate any 3o or even any odd sets: (fiddy-twos... et al...)

We do not have a legit Mike1. (Boomfield was underwhelming; and, then got his P.T. cut).
We do not have a set of Mike Johnson -esque ILb'ing twins. Such eliminates 44's.

Eye see no pure Strongside or Weakside (Sam, Will).

We need Cf1 or rangy Safety help like a dead man needs a coffin.

sooooooooooooo... that fits, what(s)???

'cuase it does not even fit his pet: Gap-fill--->spill (to free hitter) set.

====================================

3) addendum... do you buy that this D set is showing its age vs. the current basketball-on-grass, era?

p.s. '25 looks downright scary down in the dirt... tho; there Eye goes again... always putting the cart in front of the, horse...

Career so far I should say. Garrett looked good when he stepped in so I was generous enough to say starter. Ghannam frankly looked pretty bad most of the year, but he is still young of course.

There's no proof of a higher ceiling there is what I'm getting it, we haven't seen it with him we've only seen backup level play. With Garrett you can see it. Taking stock of the line however you want to put it, the room is looking pretty thin

Damn right. This is also a skill set that college coaches generally just don't have.
