Agreed. It's pure cope. Sure Delane struggled at times this year, but we will be worse off without him.

He probably understands that he needs better coaching than what he's been getting in Blacksburg to maximize his draft potential. How could you fault him?

someone who probably drinks more than his fair share of water

I feel In have to warn you of the dangers you are facing due to this...

Death due to accidental inhalation of DHMO, even in small quantities.
Prolonged exposure to solid DHMO causes severe tissue damage.
Gaseous DHMO can cause severe burns.

Found in biopsies of pre-cancerous tumors and lesions.

What are the symptoms of accidental Dihydrogen Monoxide overdose?
You may not always recognize that you have been a victim of accidental DHMO overdose, so here are some signs and symptoms to look for. If you suspect Dihydrogen Monoxide overdose, or if you exhibit any of these symptoms, you should consult with your physician or medical practitioner. The data presented here is provided for informational purposes only, and should in no way be construed as medical advice of any sort.

Watch for these symptoms:
Excessive sweating
Excessive urination
Bloated feeling

Dangerously imbalanced levels of ECF and ICF in the blood

A recently noted medical phenomenon involves small amounts of DHMO leaking or oozing from the corners of the eyes as a direct result of causes such as foreign particulate irritation, allergic reactions including anaphylactic shock, and sometimes severe chemical depression.

He and Strong are the best corners the Hokies have had since Farley

Last year he played well above expectations and was a top corner.
This year he played far below expectations and was an average at best ACC corner. He got exposed a lot

I'm not necessarily calling for Whit's head. If UNC is tapping into main campus money or their endowment then that tells me that their university leadership as a whole is aligned on winning football games. I have always believed that is the most important factor of running a successful football program. If you have your AD, your university president, and your BOV pulling in 3 different directions (sound familiar) you have no chance of sustained success. The problem with Virginia Tech right now is that there is no shared vision for the university.

To your other point of Whit not being able to shake out money from our donors. I think there was a comment or article posted here recently of the new GT AD calling high net worth alumni and they responded with "I was waiting when someone would call me." Now I have no idea if that is the case with us or not but I just don't buy the claim that since we don't have a law school or medical school our alumni base is too poor to donate

As in VT tearing down the goalposts at Lane North in 19830 no resistance from UVA fans; in 1984 UVA won @ Blacksburg and TRIED to retaliate but the Corps of Cadets went out and defended the posts against the Wahoos that attempted it. Several hundred person brawl on the field- turned into a mud bog when some facilities genius decided to try and quell it by turning on the sprinklers. I'll never forget at the other endsa 40 yd line, a solo Blacksburg Sheriff stood with hand near his holster and no one came NEAR that end of the field....

...but that was FANS not team players.

that's what I've got on there but its like 5 years old and hadn't been casted in 2.

The mental jumping jacks required to now think Mansoor is not good is equivalent to wvu fans thinking Richrod is taking them back to the promise land. Kid had one bad game in 3 years of starting and will play in the league. He and Strong are the best corners the Hokies have had since Farley. I know we are all pissed, bummed out etc but...c'mon

Edit:Richrod never did actually take them

I didn't say they were his only options, I just said that's probably where he'll end up. Also, there's an amount of hyperbole with those comments. But in all seriousness, I don't think he'll end up at osu.

BREAKING: We have made it 24 hours with no new portal entries

Which means he probably ends up back at Tech for more money than if he hadn't tested the portal.

To think that his only options are MAC schools is absolutely ridiculous.

bar covered this well about how this comment is half very legit and half complete nonsense. Addressing the no HC experience point, remember all the conversations on this board about what we needed in a HC before and after Fuente got fired? The number one thing people were pointing to was high-level P5 experience. What we know from around the country is that prior HC experience is not a guarantee of success. Coaches who had no previous HC experience:

  • Dabo Swinney
  • Ryan Day
  • Kirby Smart
  • Dan Lanning
  • Rhett Lashlee
  • Shane Beamer
  • Kenny Dillingham
  • Marcus Freeman
  • Lincoln Riley (at Oklahoma)
  • Mike Elko
  • Manny Diaz (at Miami)
  • Pat Narduzzi

Line makes a big difference! I like the Rio Summer Redfish best.

Where have you been going in Patagonia? I fished Paloma River Lodge in Chile. Best trout fishing in the world.

Parker Clements will play in the bowl game but that doesn't change your point we'll need more than 3 OL

They are there, look at Tuten. Look at all the juco and fcs players that go into the portal and get offers from the P2/4. Once the get a chance to play and showcase their talents and there's film, then the offers come. There's plenty of diamonds in the rough however with all the talking heads and plethora of recruiting services out there, most people assume all the athletes have been evaluated and THAT'S just not the case. It's all a business and it all comes down to money. If you have money you're in, if you have talent and money you're golden. If you're talented and broke, it takes a shit ton of extra work and luck.
