I wasn't expecting it at all and I never knew how badly I wanted it until it happened.

I really hope the recruits took notice

Hard to tell, since you started your disagreement with an appeal to authority.

Yes, I can read scientific reports both pro and con on all matters scientific, and am able to form my own opinions which may or may not agree with yours.

FuenteBall or Fu Ball is more associated with Fastpace, intelligent QB play, high powered offense.
BeamerBall will always be Special Team (specially in Blacksburg) .
Fuente is more worried about winning a national championship (filling out that empty trophy case) than replacing Beamerball.

Cam was able to "high point" the punt block, but I suppose on the way up a different term should apply.

You haven't offered any rebuttals. You just cherry picked a quote from the same article I posted, which concluded that despite small pockets of populations increasing, the species worldwide is threatened.

The freeze-frame effect at key moments in highlights is freakin' awesome. You're definitely on point choosing the highlights and angles. Good work!

In 20 years - I bet we will be playing at Lane Stadium - Beamer FIeld. (If we don't have a new stadium - If so, Beamer Stadium)

Perhaps. And that will be the natural transition, identifying Beamer as part of our history and legacy, not as the identity of our current play. Think Bear Bryant at Alabama. They honor his memory without identifying the team that plays under Saban with the Bear.

"BeamerBall" is here to stay for a long while.

Yes. That's why I picked 20 years. That wasn't an arbitrary number. Once we have a student body that was not alive when Beamer last coached a game, he'll be a historical figure to them, not a beloved coach. They won't call running back a kick or blocking a punt "Beamerball," because they won't have any frame of reference. It's not a disrespect thing. It's just the way that the present transitions to become history.

But Herman wasn't leaving Houston after one year. So those people don't understand how hiring works. It's like the fan who posted on Andy Bitter's Facebook who said Whit should have hired Saban, like Whit can just make someone come to Tech.

I actually knew a handful of people who were unhappy with the Fuente hire and wanted Herman because Houston beat Memphis last season. I don't think the average fan fully grasps what goes into making a coaching hire for a P5 program.

I will bring up again that we have a habit of leaving out our offensive coordinator Brad Cornelson. I know it's Fuente's offense, but Cornelson calls the plays and he must get some credit! Long live CornBall!
