My problem with Delta is that it seems only a 1/4 of their flights are actually operated by Delta proper. Every Delta flight I have been on that is not overseas has been serviced by some small regional airline that's always delayed, canceled, rerouted, or some other insanity. A simple nonstop turns into a 2 city connection.
But then again, AA is king of this airport so that might have something to do with it.

# | Teel Time, ACC Athletic Directors to vote on 8 or 9 game conference schedule Friday. well, it seems that we're scheduling for 8+2 anyway, so if we're going to get an extra half million a year for doing what we're already doing, then yeah, why the hell not?
If you haven't read this story on Evans it's definitely work a look. A lot stood out to me on what kind of person Jerod is in addition to his focus on goals.
Evans moved to second on the depth chart behind Kyle Postma, who went on to sign with Houston. When Postma was injured, Evans got his first start in the conference semifinals and tied a program record with six touchdown passes. The following week, he threw for four touchdowns and ran for two more as Trinity Valley claimed the championship.
When it came time for the team's bowl game, Postma was healthy. Evans knew he had to step aside.
"Jerod knew he was coming back for another year," Patterson said. "He said, 'Coach Patterson, I want Postma to play in the game. Don't rotate us, play Postma so he can get recruited, so he can get out. It's going to be my deal next year.'"
That's pretty rare for a kid who wanted to play quarterback his entire life
I am so done with the Lawson jokes...

I'd give them a slight edge in the kicking game until Joey can hit one from 50+. He has plenty of leg, I feel like it is almost a mental game at this point from that range.
LSU -2.5 at Florida
Virginia Tech at North Carolina -2.5
Tennessee at Texas A&M -7.5
Alabama -13.5 at Arkansas
Florida State at Miami -3.5
UCLA -9.5 at Arizona State
And I can't be the only one to notice the blatantly obvious photoshop on the pic of Miami's stadium
What about the ones the backup throws in garbage time? Those will be nice too.
But if it's for a concussion I wonder how much playing time he will see a week later. I mean that's not an injury that you want to compound obviously and especially for running back who IS going to be getting hit in the head with a lot of force. Especially against our DL. I mean a week is pretty short. Although, I'm no doctor or expert on concussions so I really have no idea what I'm talking about except that I know getting hit in the head again after a concussion is not good.....especially soon after a concussion.

The third and fourth are just icing, huh?
Due to past experiences I don't see our run game vastly improving against a sub-par run defense. I don't know how many times we would play a team that just got ran over by little sisters of the poor to only gain maybe 100 yds rushing for the day when we play. We haven't been able to get a consistent running game going against anyone up the middle.
However, vunerable against the jet sweep you say?? Hopefully we can get yds there because we know how we love the jet sweep. Screens will also be interesting as well. I hope Juice and/or McMillan have breakout game and out DL can get consistent pressure with the front 4. It will definitely be interesting. I think a wet game favors us due to our defense.

Per Fedora at the press conference yesterday:
On if Elijah Hood will be ready to play Saturday against Virginia Tech: "I expect him to, yes."

Beer: If I'm watching the game at home, I'll likely have this de Struise's Black Albert (pictured) or a vintage Pannepot.
Or perhaps another memorable Hans...
What's the word on Hood? He missed the 2nd half of FSU game with a concussion. That would be a big loss.
edit: I picked up on the sarcasm, just love all these R&M gifs
Yeah, if UNC commits to Hood and Logan (especially in bad weather), that's an advantage over us. I don't feel we can run it as well as they do, although Evans makes up for our traditional tailback running program somewhat.
Great point. I think mook has a chance to shut down switzer if switzer lines up in the slot. I also think we will be able to score on them. And our zone look is much better against those short dump passes
well, for starters...the league could be padding their pockets with an extra $7 Million per year by actually following through on the 8+2 v 9+1 vote....but the leadership caved and let the league maintain the status quo. I won't continue to speculate about pressures that I don't know whether they exist or not but strong leadership sometimes requires forcing constituents into making a difficult decision they don't want to make for the betterment of the league...not caving in and letting them avoid making a difficult decision.
