I think LOLUVA should ban their fan from having kids to begin with.
I see what you did there. And I like it.
see this is funny because of the whole LOLUVa yoga thing too. Cause that joke was a ridiculous stretch...

# | Starting QB decision today? - Fuente, Motley, Evans to address media after practice Bud Foster's defense being elite is never a bold prediction.
Liverpool signed mignolet to extension because he could have left in the summer. Not that anyone would have wanted him (I keed I keed) but seriously. Yeah it looks weird now considering they brought it Karius but.... Karius ended up getting hurt FML.
Had Karius not got hurt he would have been a good backup keeper.
YES love the bolasie move as it now hopefully will clears the way for Benteke to get going to Palace!!!
I actually agreed with this at the time of the signings, but when they've played together, the results have exceeded my expectations. Yes, the fee was still outrageous (for both), but so far at least, Klopp has got them both playing well in his system. What I'm basically trying to say is that In Klopp I Trust, and believe (or hope, rather) that they'll both work out. But yes, I still think the transfer fee was exorbitant-let's wait to judge if it was a terrible buy until the end of the season.
You can go ahead and say about 90% of our signings under Rodgers and Hodgson were terrible (Downing, Benteke and Carrol spring to mind first), I've no argument against that. However, Martial (whom I think is actually quite a good player) doesn't seem worth the money right now whilst Sanchez has definitely justified the high price tag.
To me, the price for Xhaka seemed too high but I'm a big admirer of his (Liverpool were after him and had they signed him wouldn't have pursued Wijnaldum) and think the Arse did well there. The whole transfer market is batty right now due to the huge new TV contract, english clubs have been taken to the cleaners in nearly every instance (Jordon Ibe for 15m? that's a laugh). I guess it's all relative, like 89m for Pogba even though he could've still been their player if they handled his situation better (I believe this transfer will define Mourinho's time at United)? Or Matic at Chelsea...or the current Lukaku saga (Chelsea, again).

# | Starting QB decision today? - Fuente, Motley, Evans to address media after practice Motley also displayed tremendous GUTS. Time and again last season the kid kept getting up, even severely limping during one game (can't remember which, last season was quite boozy for me), back into the huddle to lead the team. He would not back down. Anybody that puts it all out there on the field is a good hokie in my book.
That Chevy logo is just awful, looks so out of place on a soccer jersey.

# | Starting QB decision today? - Fuente, Motley, Evans to address media after practice He also had a plenty of moments of holding onto the ball too long ,not seeing receivers downfield and missing them when he did see them
Top premier league teams are always going to get price gauged because they can afford it so prices will balloon for players
Not a bad addition, just too pricey. Should have clarified. With that being said, the market is bananas. Yannick Bolasie just went for 30m pounds. Like VTCEE said, Mane is really inconsistent.
And why did Liverpool sign Mignolet to an extension in January? That blew my mind.
This has to come from the top down. From the White House. Call it Executive Order 38-0

# | Starting QB decision today? - Fuente, Motley, Evans to address media after practice Because we're already pretty deep at OT, that's why.
was Mane and Wijnaldum that bad of transfers? If anything Liverpool lacked a true winger/midfielder who could take on a defender and make things happen? Mane can certainly do that and plenty more.
Wijnaldum was bought as cover for Can Milner and Hendo-> who has been extremely overrated the past season or two. Can't stay healthy and when he does play hes somewhat underwhelming.
LFC lacked depth Mane and Wijnaldum add proper depth to the team while also being accustomed to the EPL ways.
IMO Liverpool's best signings were Matip, Mane and Karius.. Mignolet cost LFC soooo many points last season on his mind boggling mistakes. Sadly Mignolet will get his chance since Karius is out injured for 4-6 weeks.
I attended fb camp with coach Dooley a couple of summers. He was old school for sure. Part southern gentleman, part hard ass drill instructor. We did a lot of grass drills.... In fact, Billy Hite was either a grad asst. or had just arrived in Blacksburg and Coach Dooley had him stay out late with a few of us who had less than stellar behavior in the dorms. We did grass drills past dark and that was in the middle of summer.
RIP Coach

# | Starting QB decision today? - Fuente, Motley, Evans to address media after practice Ok but I don't actually know when practice ends...
Yesterday on snapchat, the practice ended around 7:30 or so. So maybe around then?

Dooley was a huge factor in our national relevancy. He also brought the NCAA knocking and saddled the start of Frank's career with reduced scholarships. Interesting to see that, while many of us now consider VT to be pretty clean as a program, it was not always that way.
Overall, we would not be where we are without him. RIP Coach.
I'll take Hull, West Brom, and Sunderland.
United is either going to win the league remarkably early or be utterly out of contention by February. There is no middle ground. This should be fun. Really wanna get a Zlatan jersey, but I'm not walking around with a stupid big Chevy logo on my chest.
Palace and Swansea will stay up llorente was a great buy for swansea and palace have a solid midfield I think hull Burnley and watford are my three

I'll be sad if Palace and/or Swansea go down. I always kinda liked them both, particularly the Swans.

# | Starting QB decision today? - Fuente, Motley, Evans to address media after practice I don't usually agree with cds7c but when I do....something, something, something....
anyway, I'm not of the opinion that if Motley starts it's going to be the end of the world. I do believe Loeffler's offense was more complicated to learn for the players than Fuente/Cornelsen's offense will be. I also believe that Loeffler put all of his eggs in Brewer's basket and maybe neglected Motley to some degree.
In any case, I think Motley's failures were more an indictment of the situation he was in than a lack of talent and ability so if he does indeed win the starting job I don't think he will be a bad signal caller under the tutelage of Brad Cornelsen.
I'm not going to go all doom-and-gloom and say that because of the nature of Fuente/Cornelsen's offense putting a lot of running responsibility on the QB we are likely to get QB1 hurt....but I do realize that is a possibility (and maybe a good reason Fuente has said he likes to give his top 2 QBs relatively equal reps so that they can both be ready to play) so I don't think it is unlikely that we will see both QBs this fall.
Regardless of who starts as QB I am expecting this offense to struggle during the first half of the season but show signs of improvement as we get deeper into the schedule. I don't know if this offense will necessarily start off better or worse than previous offenses but I do think by season's end it will look much more promising than it has in the last several years.
Bold Prediction Time: I think Bud's going to earn his keep this year and field an elite defense. Nobody will expect it which is precisely why I think it can(will) happen. We'll win more games this year because of great defense. The offense just has to not screw things up.
Hate to burst your bubble but I have it on good authority that those songs are predetermined. The votes aren't even looked at.
