Brings a whole new definition to "hot shit". Doesn't Hoo actually mean poo? So in this case, "hot shit" = "hot hoo".

Hmmm... Yeah. Damn, that #10 always made me thought he was a QB, despite having known he was a DB. Yeah, I meant Strock

You may have to take a break from sitting for a little while then.

Yeah, the Mirrolure, and now the Mirrodine lures (which they didn't have when I lived near there back in the dark ages) are the tits for trout and reds in particular, and I've had success with several different sizes and colors of them. They'll work better in the sound, I think, because of the water dynamics more than anything else, but Gulp Jerk Shad on a 4/0 offset worm hook, unweighted, will also catch the heck out of them if they're hitting topwater. Surf hook wise, judge yourself by the size of the fish in the water column. I'd go big for the big baits, then scale back as you need to. Puppy drum need the smaller sizes, but any decent drum and you'll need the 3/0. Not a braid man, in general, although I do use it in certain applications, but if you go braid, absolutely use that flourocarbon leader. Huge advantage, even in roiled up surf. I hope the weather is stable for you and that you have clear surf and reasonable waves. While heavy surf can bring in some monster fish, it usually doesn't happen this time of the year. Also, back in more intrepid days, I'd wade out to that first sandbar at dead low tide and fish the outside, but I was pretty nutsoid about it and ruined a few reels that way. Also, sometimes, the fish are feeding out of the trough and on that first sandbar. Hard to cast that far, but if you can, sometimes it is the ticket. Again, g'luck!

French, you stated in the 4th video recap:
Deablo makes a heady play. He sells the quick in route hard, and then makes sure he turns back to the end zone to avoid contact and a penalty for a pick
Why would it be a penalty for him to block the defender (#5) in motion following Rogers? Is there a maximum distance from the line that you can block, like when you see an OL or TE come up and seal off that 2nd level off on the option? Thanks for the great reviews and getting us all smarter on this stuff!!

tOSU seemed to be the team all preseason the talking heads avoided picking. They are extremely talented, and with Alabama, are probably the surest bet for the Playoff at the moment.

I noticed that he throws one of the best fades I've seen at Lane in my time there. Good strong runner too.

Also, quick to praise the weapons around him and his line in the post game.

FWIW, he is a dark horse to creep into my top 3 all time QBs at VT: (Vick, Tyrod)

Well, 1/4 of the season is in the books. And while it's way too early to be projecting who gets invited to New York, we should have an idea by now which preseason favorites are underperforming, and which players are positioning themselves to be in the conversation.

Sure, well know more after three more games, but it's not like we have no data to go off of.

This gif is hilarious

I hope this game will be another step in the recovery of my Hokie mentality. The last few years have conditioned me that any game can turn into an incredibly heartbreaking or embarrassing loss.

It seems like even during sellouts people move down from the corners and highest rows to squeeze in at lower levels. I know they did that when I was a student. (Shoot, I did it too.)
