# | Teel Time, ACC Athletic Directors to vote on 8 or 9 game conference schedule Friday. Makes sense that they don't have to rush the decision. They're not looking for anything to take effect until 2019.
But...I have to wonder about the actual content going to the ACC Network. Wouldn't ESPN still be picking the best matchups for the mothership? And isn't this diluting the number of games they can air on the primary channels, especially after losing the front half of the Big Ten package?

I see you planned head by not skipping class with the girl you're making googly eyes at... Smart move.
(That's a golden typo...I'm leaving it.)

# | Teel Time, ACC Athletic Directors to vote on 8 or 9 game conference schedule Friday. not altogether surprising considering TKP can't even decide which is best

# | Teel Time, ACC Athletic Directors to vote on 8 or 9 game conference schedule Friday. ACC AD's did not reach decision today regarding whether to play 9 ACC games/1 non-ACC P5 or 8 ACC/2 non-ACC P5 teams, source told @ESPN— Brett McMurphy (@McMurphyESPN) August 12, 2016

# | Developing Depth Still on the Hokies' Agenda as the Second Week of Fall Camp Begins interestingly I heard a very similar rumor....this might actually have legs....

# | Developing Depth Still on the Hokies' Agenda as the Second Week of Fall Camp Begins I think it's going to come down to how crisp the entire offense is is selling the misdirection nuances that French pointed out in his previous article. Without that, CF is going to be limited in how effectively he can influence opposing D's tendencies
But I will say, it certainly sounds like the players are embracing the new system. Hopefully they can execute to the level of detail CF's system flourishes on.

# | Developing Depth Still on the Hokies' Agenda as the Second Week of Fall Camp Begins #absolutelynosauces tell me that Bucky has been attending secret midnight training sessions with the US Olympic rugby team during the off season. They wanted his help down in Rio, but he politely declined, and instead plans to use these new skills to get punter first downs or permanently pin the opposing team inside their own 5 yard line.

# | Developing Depth Still on the Hokies' Agenda as the Second Week of Fall Camp Begins I think Loeffler is very football smart and he works really really hard. I just don't think he realized that the players couldn't commit as much time/energy to football as he expected and I don't know if he was all that good at teaching. Fuente at least seems to understand that the players have lives outside of football (classes, social lives, etc.) and that they need to adjust their teaching to match what the kids can handle. That was probably Loeffler's biggest downfall as a college coach. He just couldn't pare down his offense to a level the kids could grasp under the circumstances they had. He may be better suited to the NFL where the governing body doesn't restrict how much time players and coaches can spend together in film rooms and on practice fields. And where players aren't also trying to complete course work in addition to competing on collegiate football fields.

# | Developing Depth Still on the Hokies' Agenda as the Second Week of Fall Camp Begins So, he takes after Danny Coale.
Ummmm I think something got lost in translation. I wasn't making an argument or correcting you at all, but was rather just trying to make a helpful suggestion for when you need to get all of your stuff into the game given the new policy.
How will the defense adjust to mobile quarterbacks this year?

# | Developing Depth Still on the Hokies' Agenda as the Second Week of Fall Camp Begins I couldn't agree more!!!! In the academic world we refer to metacognition, the act of thinking about your learning. And Bucky nailed it on the head. From a design standpoint, I am surprised that Loeffler with his (overly?) complicated offense wasn't smarter about how he expected student athletes to learn it.
Filling for cold cookie sandwiches.
Ford throws one before either of them.
Bucky Rogers... That guy played a lot last year based on how many times I heard his name during the games.
She like all girls is actually evil.

# | Developing Depth Still on the Hokies' Agenda as the Second Week of Fall Camp Begins Don't know if it's been mentioned yet on here but two-a-days are back in Blacksburg today. CFB had gotten rid of them but it looks like Coach Fu is bringing them back.
Edit.
After re-reading the article, Coach Fuente does mention practicing twice a day. Hopefully we will see some noticeable improvements from the young guys as a result of this.

# | Developing Depth Still on the Hokies' Agenda as the Second Week of Fall Camp Begins I agree. I think we surprise some people and win at least one game that we are expected to lose and finish with 8 - 9 wins.
On a related note, when is the last time we have had so much strength up front on both sides THE SAME YEAR?

# | Developing Depth Still on the Hokies' Agenda as the Second Week of Fall Camp Begins Orrrr, you make goo-goo eyes at the nice girl sitting next to you and get her to lend you her notes before the tests, you know, just to compare them to make sure you got it all. Or if like me, you skipped the class to cavort with your fellow ne'er do wells.
What are your feelings towards ECU?
What's your favorite Blacksburg eatery?
Jordan Stout, a 2017 P/K was offered a preferred walk on. He is from Honaker, Va and his tape looks great.
Which former Hokie would Fuente most like to have in his current offense?
At the firehouse we would just pass the control to another guy. As for nukes, funny story, working on my first ever nuke, I get the last kill needed, go to launch it and my oldest who was 9 months old hits the green ring and turns off the Xbox.
Agreed, eight wins is looking more and more feasibly.
