How does that relate to their power ratings article, which has us at 17? I assume the article is not computers-based. http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/17750222/houston-cougars...

# | Justin Fuente's Post-Game Speech Following Virginia Tech's 34-3 Thumping of North Carolina I see much more energy from the players these past few weeks. Winning cures a lot of ills but I feel this team maturing and supporting one another. I really want a piece of an undefeated Clemson in the Acccg.
Are sugar cookies taking the place of cupcakes? Because I'm not ok with this.
A real man doesn't walk around bragging about how he belt whips his kids.
and most important 12-0 against UVA in the last 12 years
I dunno about you all but sign me right on up for a football sugar cookie extravaganza
Wild Turkey for the man card.

# | Justin Fuente's Post-Game Speech Following Virginia Tech's 34-3 Thumping of North Carolina It was also great to see the offensive and defensive players individually congratulating each other during the game.
Our offense has always appreciated our defense, but I believe the defense now knows they have an offense to back them up.

I'm with this take. Though I know this is a trap game, CJF has me believing he has changed the culture dramatically (already).
I fully expect VT to put up a big number next weekend.
I think you mean 2-6 at neutral. #ItWasACatch.
Don't kill my buzz, bro
I don't think Marcus Davis ever played against Syracuse. /s
We'll be ready!
My buddy and I went fishing on the new river near Fries, VA this weekend. He caught a 11" smallmouth on a silver and black rooster tail. That was all we caught, with all the rain we had probably didn't help much but it was nice to get out and put a line in the water.

# | Justin Fuente's Post-Game Speech Following Virginia Tech's 34-3 Thumping of North Carolina This gave me goosebumps. You could grate Parmesan on my shin. Wow.
Watching the game (about 2.5 times) and now seeing this just cements what I'm sure a lot of us suspected about CJF: that he's not only a great offensive mind. He's a great motivator and unifier.
I've been looking forward to seeing how players within each position group would react to the reality of shared playing time. Our rushing and receiving stat sheets run 6-7 players deep, we have 7-8 OL getting meaningful snaps, and we platoon at DT, DE, and CB. To see T-Mac so geeked for the successes of other runners; to see our "starting" OLine run off the field after a touchdown and get mobbed by the backups; to see Adonis celebrate a Stroman pass breakup as if he did it himself; it does my heart good to see these kids enjoying team successes. Stands to reason, I guess, since so many guys contribute & get to feel like a part of it.
I know we have good skill guys, and veteran linemen on both sides, and all that. But CJF has changed the vibe around this team, and It. Is. Exciting. As. Hell.
Also, Jerod Evans is going to be a pretty decent QB. #calledit

Posted in another thread, but this seems like the more appropriate thread. ESPN's FPI has us ranked 28th:

I don't need to mention how ESPN is terrible at this, do I?
Let's leave out bama. I was there the one time we beat them in a sleet rain snow, but too many other games still give me indigestion.
No need for Coach speak on a fan forum. 'Fan' is short for Fanatic, and speculating is part of being a fanatic.
I agree with your assessment of their fanbase. Maybe they're not great, but UNC is good at football. They are deserving of recognition of that, regardless of how their fanbase opines on the matter.
If the water was up and muddy, a dark colored small tube bait, fished on the bottom in eddies, is a decent bet for trying to find bigger fish. Glad you got out, though, and we all thank you for your report. Fries is an interesting area. Just downstream is Double Shoals, three miles or so of giant boulders and broken water that'll give an experienced paddler/angler fits trying to fish, sometimes, but yields some really nice fish. There are also walleye there in the river year round, but I've only floated from Fries down, never spent much time around Fries proper.
