The run defense has looked fantastic, Tim Settle in particular is looking dominant against the run.

I do have some concerns about the pass defense though. I'm still not convinced the front four can consistently disrupt an offense's timing in the intermediate pass game. I also have issues with the amount of press coverage Foster is relying on on the outside. I understand wanting to dictate terms to an offense and trying to bait them into a low percentage throw, but I think he'd be better off playing more conservative coverages and giving his players with great ball skills (Stroman, Adonis, and Facyson) more opportunities to break on the ball and make a play rather than to just turn and chase a receiver.

And what do you suggest as an alternative for students to do to have fun while standing in the sun during TV timeouts?

And while homecoming was a little bit different in regards to attendance, the students are the ones who most consistently fill up their sections. Hell, they even pack in more people than the rows allow, just so they're closer to the field. Why can't they have some fun at the same time? The Corps of Cadets are the ones who try to start the wave, and they are part of the unique identity of home football games in Lane Stadium. They're the ones doing 54 pushups in the 4th quarter. Why shouldn't they be allowed to have some fun and engage the entire stadium at the same time?

If the wave and paper airplanes don't have a place at a college football game -- which are known for their exciting environments and atmospheres -- where do they have a place?

But if any school does, it will be in the SEC.

But what's not an outlier is a new coach at a P5 program making more in his first year than his predecessor did in his last year. That's pretty standard these days.

Frank was an outlier in the coaching Salary ranks. He made a fraction of what he could have.

I lived in South La for 11 years. Blacksburg is 1000 times better place to live and raise a family. The LSU campus is nice but not as beautiful as Tech. I know winters in Blacksburg can be rough, but summers in Baton Rouge are miserable.

Not to kill your vibe right now but that's a creek chub. Go fish little stony/cascades right now with ant patterns. I got some brookies up there last week.

Welcome to the addiction.

Not so sure about that. The Big12 is on life support and will be on the outside when the G5 becomes the G4.

Edit: meant P5 and P4.

I meant P5 goes to P4. I think the Big12 will eventually get absorbed by the other 4. I mistyped, Ill edit now.
