Let me throw in my 22 cents, I have seen that same mom who corrects people for their language when her kids are present, be the biggest most obnoxious drunk when the kids are not there. Just a tab bit of HYPOCRISY! Kids should be welcome if both kids and the parents know what to expect. Some things are just obvious, don't bring your kids to Disney World if they need a stroller.

I totally agree. However, if you were Bronco, coming into the dumpster fire that is a Mike London run program, you'd probably need to take some drastic measures as well. I mean, these kids are used to incredibly low standards. The freshmen were recruited by someone who gets through a 4-8 season and celebrates because it's not the 2-10 he pulled off two years earlier. They come in thinking just their presence will elevate the program and that's not going to cut it at a P5 program.

Anyway, I guess my point is that I'll make fun of this and it should be used against them in recruiting, but I think it will probably be good for their program in the long run.

Correct drinking in front of an officer can be an issue (at VT it is not a primary concern) but just having an open container is not in itself a violation of any law I've read in the code book. I know we have lawyers on here who practice in VA, open container laws in VA versus drinking in public laws?

You teaser, isn't that like telling an alcoholic he can have a drink Next Week ? Primal scream therapy rehearsals start in one hour (otherwise known as enter sandman).

We do entire days out using a fold up booster seat which houses diapers, toys, wipes and usually snacks. It's pretty compact. Could easily do 4 hours in Lane with a gallon ziplock with a couple diapers and a pack of wipes. Although, from the wrong side of the Atlantic I don't think he'll be at any games for a couple of seasons.

my best guess is that instead of the corners playing on one side or the other based on which hash-mark the opposing offense is centered around the corner will always be to the same side of the field regardless of offensive positioning laterally

a boundary corner will always line up on the side of the field closest to the sideline (or boundary) which could be the left or right depending on which hash-mark the ball is on. If you have dedicated left and right corners instead of "field" and "boundary" then the corners won't switch positions based on where the ball is placed. Instead, they'll just stay on whichever side they are assigned (left or right). They'll both play "field" and "boundary" throughout a game.

I am not for cussing up a storm either. However, I think you're confusing what a football game should be versus what a football game is. It's just plain negligence to bring your kids to a football game and expect everything to be hunky dory. Unfortunately, it's just how things go. When people are very passionate about something and then things don't go their way, they get upset. You're setting yourself up for failure if you think your kid won't here/see bad things at a Hokie football game - most any major sporting event for that matter. Additionally, it's not like if a certain number of people deemed the conduct unnecessary and Babcock or Sands said anything that things would change (see Hokies Respect). It's the nature of the beast.

OK, I tried to read the article with an open mind. I read what the coaches said. Back to my usual comment on LOLUVa football, " Are you shitting me?" Maybe they will be successful under the new regime, however, I sure would not my kid to undergo that. We all should be grateful we have Coach Fuente.

Could definitely be conditioning or playbook stuff. Could also be that some kids didn't have good grades, too. Could be a failed drug test. It's kinda cryptic saying they hadn't qualified for practice yet, but I think we can assume there is a new set of standards Bronco is trying to get going, but some guys haven't adjusted to yet. Sky's the limit on what 'qualified for practice' could include. Could be injury too.

I love that picture of Tim. It looks like he is wrecking-ball-ing two guys and he's on the way for the quarterback. That he appears so much larger than everyone else makes it all the more tragic for all involved.
