Was recently looking up some of the stats for those years to see how good our offense really was in those days (I still vividly remember bitching about Stinespring), by S&P+ we were 13th in the country that year, although a bit of a swoon of the defense at 35th. Oddly enough it seems that 2009 was our year, 4th ranked in the country, #10 offense, #7 defense, but Alabama plus that mid-season stumble tripped Tyrod's most championship ready team statistically.
We're also currently ranked 69th on offense, although we're certainly being held back by preseason predictions not yet being filtered out.

Great programs don't rebuild. They simply reload. Coach Fuente understands that . Fuente and Foster are pulling all the strings to get the team ready every game. If the Hokies correct the fumbling and turnover issues, they're a dangerous team.

I'd almost guarantee he was called for nearly every major job opening since at least the national title game appearance. He's also the kind of guy who would have politely turned them down immediately and not let it get out he was contacted, for both his and the other school's benefit.

I mean of course you upvote things you agree with, I wasn't arguing that you shouldn't. All I was trying to say was that it's not just the opinions we agree with that contribute to discussions. It takes two to tango, right? Differences in opinion and our ability to discuss those differences in a rational manner are some of the things that make this site great. I don't need to agree with someone to give them a leg

* insert obligatory message to join The Key Players Club here* Which, no, I haven't done yet but my paycheck on the 16th will be larger than normal so expect to see a key next to my name then. Hold me to this, guys.

Pitt is feeling more like a trap game that I hope we don't overlook if we get there undefeated.

I don't think we have to worry about getting there undefeated.

I'll give you this:
this is the first year since 2010 when I am confident going into each game so far. In the seasons since then, I've wanted to win or felt like we should win, but never been confident that the next 3.5 hours is going to be "enjoyable as hell" (this has been my bosses response each of the last two weeks as we curb stomped BC and ECU) to watch.

I'm even confident about UNC next week. Depending on how we do there, I might be confident going into the Miami game.

Members can award them to each other by upvoting comments and forum topics. If someone posts a funny picture, witty reply, good statistic, something you like etc..., then upvoted and give them a turkey leg. Conversely, if someone flames, wages a personal attack or doesn't follow the community guidelines, then downvote. Do not downvote for disagreeing with someone's opinion. In general, upvote more often than you downvote.

It says nothing about not upvoting opinions you agree with. In fact, I'd say that's covered by striving to upvote more than you downvote.

Pump the brakes. The last time this team played away from Lane they lost by 21 points amid a flurry of self-inflicted gunshot wounds to the feet.

State College has been raining since last night and is expected to rain through the weekend. We haven't had an extended period of rain all summer long, should do us some good. Looks like fall arrived. Maples are turning, and if anyone needs a barrel of white oak acorns, I'm your guy.
