Yep and great reference.
I absolutely love this sitcom, one of my all time favorites. I find I have more in common with Hayden Fox than I want to admit.
I actually don't even really harbor that much rivalry hatred for UVA anymore. It's just become beating up on your little brother every year at this point. The Miami game was probably the most passionate I was for any game this season. I feel like that is our true rival and measuring stick in football.
Pry and Co. holding the Commonwealth Cup during signing day and branding ourselves as the flagship VA school to recruits to me is sort of missing the mark. Most top VA recruits don't care and don't view UVA vs VT as a big deal, and would rather just go out of state to a program like PSU, Clemson, etc. and compete for a playoff bid. Beating our chest after thumping UVA is getting a little old honestly. Miami needs to be the benchmark.
But they bak!!!
Well his "solution"' was to play a 10 game conf schedule. Which of course will just further insulate the conferences and allow them to choose based on which league you play in rather than overall résumé. Transparently trying to pitch another change that only benefits the Big 10 and SEC.
Also if he's saying the problem is the SEC not getting enough respect relative to other leagues (ridiculous) how is fewer data points between conferences supposed help that? Of course no pushback from anyone else on set.
What's striking to me how obvious they are about being dishonest and pushing an agenda. If this was how the sport worked when I grew up watching, I would not still follow it today
Whenever I see Minnesota on TV, I think of this...and equate the head coach to Craig T. Nelson.
Its been 21 seasons now... ZERO ACC titles for the Canes. LMFAO. You hate to see it.
I love karma coming around and cutting Miami out of the CFP, but at the same time it also kinda pisses me off even more that they screwed us for nothing. Either way, Miami continues to be the only ACC team in which my hatred burns as bright as UVA.
In VT's case it won't take much to "overpay" and it only takes one school to offer stupid money to your starting LT.
But I see this as more of a one-year thing rather than ongoing. Every team will have to work under the revenue sharing amount moving forward. I guess a lot of schools are going to frontload their NIL this offseason into some big ridiculous deals and go out with a bang until the House settlement takes effect later next year. But overpaying for players shouldn't be the norm for most schools I would think. That would just be bad business.
Fist bump Jay Bilas you fucking fuck.
I like PJ Fleck and find it quite hard to hate on him, but I will.
Time has not been a friend to PJ in the aging and appearances department.
I'm totally fine staying far away from any running back Justin Fuente recruited and signed. Any.
Kenji back in the portal too btw
Allegedly man got a crazy $$$ offer from Maryland and maybe one from Shane too.
This is where we're going to see the P2 conference discrepancy take shape. Huge bummer because, imo, moving onto his 3rd position coach in 4 years isn't awesome for his long term development. But also, if TSL offered me seven figures I'd take my happy ass off this board in a heartbeat, so 🤷♂️
Some rumors behind paywalls on other sites that some teams got into a bidding war for him and his market value went sky high. He's good but nowhere near worth some of the figures I saw floating around for him. Sucks a lot to lose him but we can't pay that much for an OL who isn't absolutely elite.
This hurts. Maybe we will give him his bag, thus impacting other positions. Lose/Lose scenario IMO
Gulp

He's open to coming back. Just wayyyyy too much money for him to not test out the portal. As we all know, competent OL is difficult to bring in via portal, he's going to be a hot commodity.
Oh no, he was by far our best OL, local to where I live now, gotta go talk to some of his friends.

I expected to lose Lawson, losing Stro sucks but not end of the world.
The big ones to me are Mansoor, Benji and X. If we can keep all three, that's a good start to transfer season.
Oh no doubt - the big collectives will figure out whatever they have to do to make it work. But this is at least a step in the right direction if we're going toward a professional model. The next step will be collective bargaining and contracts. It may be a few more years of this interim phase until we get there, but this will at least slow down the ridiculous NIL money being thrown around if it has to have some teeth to it. A big audit firm like Deloitte has the resources to dig deep, and you don't want to land yourselves in trouble with the IRS.
Xavier Chaplain in the portal, can't embed the tweet at the moment. I imagine he will be getting quite the payout from someone. OL is in a rough spot.
I definitely agree another UVA win is nothing to beat our chest about. And I will confess my hate for Miami has likely even surpassed that of UVA. But may my hatred of the Hoos never wane. Miami's just hitting new levels.
