Brett Bielma looks like a character from King of the Hill somehow escaped into real life.
have you as 5-1 on master.
have you as 3-3, not sure why it showed 4-2
Evans' run was great, loved every second of it and rewatched it on DVR about 30 times.
But Cam Newton's run was/is iconic. The fact that Evans run instantly reminded me of a play that took place over half a decade ago is proof of how unforgettable Newton's run is. Evans had to do more work on his run and make more people miss, but that's in part because Cam is a better athlete. When Cam hit that last gear and got across the goaline... goosebumps every time.
Considering he's giving the best special teams player Beamers number every week I'd assume he's fine with it.
you were 2-4 against the spread.

A rebuttal to your 'facts':
1- Recent satellite photos by NASA show the North polar ice cap is increasing in size 43% to 63%
I assume you mean Antarctic Ice has been growing, not arctic, but your numbers are way off. Antarctic ice has been growing. A little. It's been massively offset by the Ice lost on the North Pole. See here:
http://www.nasa.gov/content/goddard/antarctic-sea-ice-reaches-new-record...
Key quote:
While the Antarctic sea ice yearly wintertime maximum extent hit record highs from 2012 to 2014 before returning to average levels in 2015, both the Arctic wintertime maximum and its summer minimum extent have been in a sharp decline for the past decades. Studies show that globally, the decreases in Arctic sea ice far exceed the increases in Antarctic sea ice.
That's from NASA. They really don't have a dog in the 'carbon tax' race.
Next 'fact':
2- Since 2002 ocean temps.have fluctuated less than 1 degree
That's not really a meaningful statement, especially if 2002 was still significantly warmer than, say 1940. Which it was. You're confusing weather with climate.

Key quote:
The long-term trend—change over the course of a century or more—is what defines "global warming," not the change from year to year or even decade to decade.
Also see this, again from NASA:
http://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/global-temperature/
Key quote:
The 10 warmest years in the 134-year record all have occurred since 2000, with the exception of 1998. The year 2015 ranks as the warmest on record.
Next one:
3- World is 1.08 degree cooler than 1998 ( Remote sensing systems which provides data to NASA)
See the link above. This statement is demonstrably false.
And finally:
4- Polar bears and moose are thriving.
Again, I'm really not sure how this is proof that global warming is made up, but it's also demonstrably false. Here's a National Geo article on Polar Bear population since 2000:
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2014/11/141119-polar-bears-arcti...
The number of the large predators living in the southern Beaufort Sea (map) plummeted from 1,500 animals in 2001 to just 900 in 2010, according to the study, published on November 17 in the journal Ecological Applications.
and this:
Another quote:
The species as a whole is decreasing in number, and is listed as vulnerable by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.
I'm not going to bother looking up info about Moose.
Oh, backdoor cover for Stanford at (-3.5)!!!!!!
I hope you are right. He understands he is taking over for Beamer and giving him his time to be honored. This is already his team, they've responded well so far to his coaching. Our offense! WoW what must be going thru Loefflers head seeing the boys he had in his offense last year lighting up the scoreboard! From what I've seen from teams left on our schedule so far I'm feeling good about VT's chances. Fuentes most important recruiting will be keeping Ford/Hodges for 1 more year so we can make a run for a championship! Exciting times!
Wow UCLA just blew that win.
As long as he keeps winning VT will do what they need to keep him especially with the contract with Espn and acc network coming in . Coach also seems to love the community of Blacksburg.
#1 reason why West Side is better than East side. Even for a noon kickoff we were in shade by 3 pm.
We have out scored our opponents a total of 163-75 so far this year.
If you exclude the UT game, it's 139-30.
That is an absolutely absurd number and I want it to stay that way.
I Keep seeing first round mock drafts with Bucky around 27. I just don't see it. He's all projection. A guy like RSJ is just a better version (maybe he isn't draft eligible?).
I know Fuente is trying to honor Beamer. But if he keeps up his current rate of improvement it wont be long until he forges his own legacy here at VT and I for one am worried once a "Blue Blood" program sees what he can do at VT they will try to poach him.
We either all celebrated like you... or this...
I'm calling it Fu Ball
Beamerball has an expiration date at some point
Just like Xerox & Kotex....../s
Uh I don't know about the rest of you guys but personally I'm feeling Fuentastic right about now.
It will always be Beamerball!
Personally I think I'll always call it BeamerBall. It's a brand that he built and continuing that tradition without him shouldn't change the name. Besides BeamerBall has a much better ring to it than FuenteBall
Nope. Just like air raid etc are linked to certain coaches special teams play is forever linked to Beamer.
you are 4-2 on the master.
