Yin and yang, you say?

My response is always that I follow Teddy Roosevelt's foreign policy

Most just think I have to have a lot of money.

That is why I teach my kids that as much as we make our choices in life, our choices make us. Though we judge ourselves by our intentions (and really only our good intensions) others judge us by what we do.Trust can be lost in an instance, but it takes a long time to get back. Do on to others that which you would want done to you.

my last amberjack trip, your fly rod would have gotten worn out and not far from cape lookout

not sure why you are getting downvotes or if this is sarcasm, but I'll bite.

"I knew I was going to commit," Thompson told The Key Play. "I was just deciding if I was going to do it publicly or a silent commit. I talked to my mom and my coach, and that's when I decided I would just do it publicly.

that's the 2nd paragraph. Reading helps.

here's a leg to offset though.

Not a bad list. I've hooked one Cobia on spin in the Keys and lost him. Never hooked an AJ but it is on the list. Albacore are nuts, especially on fly rod. I think if I've got one day left on this planet to saltwater fly fish I put myself down at Cape Lookout on the last weekend of September when I can catch False Albacore and Redfish and get some serious line burn on my hands.

My biggest argument against that Bud is the Best is made pretty easy after last year. FIVE VIRGINIA TECH PLAYERS MADE THE 2015 WATCH LIST FOR THE BRONKO NAGURSKI TROPHY. Ohio State had 5 players also on the watchlist.

OSU finished a Top 10 defense, #6 in yards per Play allowed. VT was a Top 50 defense, and #61 in yards per Play allowed.

Bud is a great DC, but the game further evolved and there was never a game adaption for what was being played against him. Maryland in 2013 is a Loss? yea that was a tipping point

A score of 10+ suggests the person is literate.

Took me 20 min to get this lol

During Justine Fuente's tenure at TCU this play was known as "Purple Cheetos". The "cheetos" play is very similar to how many spread teams are using the quarterback as a between-the-tackles runner (Dash), when the passer isn't the most gifted ball carrier. In 2009 alone, OC Fuente called this play 40 times for a total net of 400 yards. Look for him to use it a lot at VT with his D-T QBs not because Evans or Motley are not good ball carriers but because it can have devastating effects on opposing defenses. Evans is actually exceptional in my estimation. This play is much like zone-read and actually works better when your offensive line is struggling with blocking stretch. This is simply a 3x1 (power) zone read, "run backwards". The back will run his stretch course (aiming at the hip of the tight end), but the offensive line will block power. This action provides a dual-threat, optioning off the playside defensive end.
If the DE gets upfield, the QB goes upfield (keep).
If the DE squats or squeezes, the QB gives.

The severe angle of stretch angle (perimeter threat), the playside linebacker will usually fast flow with the defensive end, creating the wide path for the quarterback to run inside.

Where the defense comes into conflict is not just with the defensive end (C gap defender), but also the safety. Because the horizontal stretch becomes so great (one true inside threat plus a wide perimeter threat), the alley defender can be put into a bind as to the proper path to take on this action.

The beauty of this play is that there really are no additional concepts to be taught to the players (you're just combining power and stretch) and it can be applied to Wildcat looks simply by changing the player taking the snap. The offensive line will simply down block into their inside gap-track, with the backside guard pulling for the play side linebacker (he'll end up picking up the first man that shows on give).

My friends and I went to that game. We left blacksburg drove straight down watched the game and came straight back (had to take finals). Blew my mind that we were wearing shorts in Dec in tampa, then we pull back in to bb that night and its snowing. Ahh, good times. And what a solid game we played too. Well worth the trip.
