When I was a younger and much bolder fellow, I was just as you have described, a dick about it. I alienated friend and foe alike with my lively support for the Hokies while being hosted by UVA friends on their 50 yd line amongst the high rollers. I don't regret loudly cheering for my team, but I DO profoundly regret my occasional profanity and general in your face dickishness when faced with disapproval from the homers subjected to my presence. My friends later bought into the Al Groh admonition and gave up the arrangement with me to provide them tickets to the game when in Lane for like consideration there. Just as well, it was time to grow up. We went through a bit of the same sort of disapproval even in Lane, not for profanity, just for being loud, whistling, yelling while on defense, etc., and standing for long portions of the game, but we didn't bow to those folks and after a season or so, the area around our season seats became just like us, so we all really got along well and enjoyed many years of spirited support. Keep the profanity under wraps and don't engage/provoke the home teamers, but cheer for the good guys...it is, after all, a FOOTBALL GAME!!!

I feel like this is the exact opposite of what Frank and Fuente would do. Whatever our coaches think of a kid privately, I'd be absolutely shocked if they publicly blasted a kid.

Also, this is the exact opposite of Mike Gundy, whom I at least respected for this.

Asking you guys. I'm in Boston today and bc plays buffalo and the sox play toronto. Would you youz go to BC or bosox game?
Can technically do both but then wouldn't have time for harvard, mit, local sights etc

I'd say think about yourself as an ambassador of VT fans everywhere and behave accordingly.

Man, you're lucky! Should be a sweet game. Will be interesting
to see where each team stands in comparison to each other.

There's all this hype about LU but can they hang with a team like Clemson?
Then Clemson apparently isn't quite as good this season. Who knows.

Have a good time!

My Hokie in laws made my wife and I an awesome wedding gift. They had the local middle school shop class engrave some wood with, "For those who have passed, and those to come, Reach for Greatness" and mounted a piece of Hokiestone to it. As my wife and I ran into the reception to enter sandman, we reached up and touched it.
The in laws get it...

My wife got me an autographed Frank Beamer poster for our anniversary.

UVA would be the one exception here: they need to always loose.

I thought the whole deal with yoga is that they'd always be loose. So you and bronco are on the same page.

Holy shit - Cat 5?!?

I hear it gets 1Gbps with the right conditions.

Evans is starting the season hotter than any Hokie QB in my memory. Sure, part of it is the system (thankfully), but our QB situation was the biggest question mark going into the season and I'd say we've got a good one.

This thread needs more love, and esp more comments than the Alabama backup transferring.

That's a good point. Kid is probably eager to get on the field ASAP and
looks like it's not happening.

I think it's his right to transfer if that's what he wants to do. Seems like
he would've considered all his options and this was the best one to take.
I mean he is a 5 star recruit who got demoted and is obviously hankering
to play.

Normally, I like to see teams in our division win. It both makes our games with them more exciting and makes us look good when we beat them. UVA would be the one exception here: they need to always loose.

Wow, thanks for posting. We're getting some interesting weather this fall.

Over here in Bonsack, it's been raining lots but the whole place is sloped enough, it runs out.

460 had some flooded places though.

Everyone else might not be parasites, but everyone else are adults.
These kids can't drink legally, but every tweet or transfer is analyzed and scrutinized, and the prevailing attitude is always "they must be out for themselves." Broken promises of playing time, position switches, coaches deciding who redshirts, deciding who needs to "play injured for the good of the team", and these kids are called out as the bad guys, sometimes to fan bases larger than those of an NFL team.

Sorry for the rant, but Saban will make 5+ million this year, next year and several years out, and will be completely unaffected by some backup transfer. If the guy wants playing time, let him transfer without calling him out.

We are going to have to agree to disagree. I think a team full of players that believe the mantra is bullshit will implode in a big way. But, I'm not saying that a player should ever give up his future for the team. I personally wouldn't be able to do something like this mid-season, but again, I've said others would draw that line in a different place and that's ok too.

I don't remember the exact math that Kanell used, but it made sense in his presentation.

According to 247, he did appear to enroll a semester early. Taking summer classes, and maybe piling on classes in the spring, he could probably finish by next summer.

Basically, it was a case of, he has to sit for a year anyway, if he stays at Alabama and tries to finish out as a graduate transfer, he at least has a chance of some playing time while he's waiting.
