Just watched his HUDL. Seems like a good pickup and perhaps underrated.
Iowa State has come up a lot in competition in recruiting in the last year, haven't they?
A couple of random clips of the Stig from Top Gear, with "QB Hokies" superimposed on the screen
I have a feeling this one will be quite useful in the future:
Hafiz has reset his announcement for tomorrow. It's between VT, USF, and Iowa State.
mcgruber, did you row for tech?
isn't there one of him doing a flip while wakeboarding?
You poor bastard. I feel your pain. But if you really want to know suffering, bring her back there in about 3 months. Pushing the Brickette around in a wheelchair all week through those crowds was hell. By the end of the week, I was ready to go buy some shin guards for her and cover them with bayonets so I could go all Mad Max on the crowds.
Stay off of lakes like Claytor on the weekend. It is just the New River backed up some, not very wide and tough to fish when the crowds are out. I have seen Bud on Claytor several times, but he was always driving the boat. I'd have loved to see this action.
And while kids skiing and wake surfing all over fishermen also pisses me off, it is the jet skis that make me want to chunk a musky lure with three monster trebles at those idiots who love to intrude on personal space. Maybe a one week season every year to thin them out? Rock salt loads in a goose gun maybe?
Is it bad that I would rather win twelve straight in a single season?
Seems like a video of this comes out every offseason.
Its an annual rite of passage for Hokie newbies
Dude rips. He so haole he doesn't even know he's haole. I would tell him but...
but that would take some class, something he isn't often known for having a large amount of.
This is blown out of proportion for a few incidents. Plus the media fails to accurately portray some things (throwing the mic of into the lake of that reporter, failed to mention everyone in Portugal hates that media group and they are like a tabloid apparently). I agree he shouldn't have spoken negatively towards Iceland but he is a competitor and was frustrated in the moment. But he is widely regarded among players as being classy and extremely dedicated to his craft. Also, nobody talks about when he does incredible things like donate his entire UCL bonus to charity (the same day that Messi was in court for tax fraud) and when he didn't celebrate the Croatia win because "he saw his brother crying" and instead went to hug and console Luka Modric after the match. People can paint whatever picture they want of him, but it's rarely the whole picture.
Portugal is one of my least favorite international teams because of exactly this. They are some of the biggest divers and crybabies in international football. They ain't won nothing, either, except the 2006 World Cup's Most Entertaining Team award.
Don't get me wrong. Ronaldo is a powerhouse, and is pretty great with fans. Figo and Deco (who is actually Brazilian but was never called up to their national team) are two great former players.
But man do I root for this team to lose.
We'll see when they return to Fair Lane in September.
Bad puns?
You do what you have to do. I don't agree with the strategy either, but calling out a country with no history of success after scoring a draw against one of the stronger teams in the tournament is worth celebrating. It gave them confidence to do as well as they have thus far. Ronaldo should have looked inward instead of ripping them, but that would take some class, something he isn't often known for having a large amount of.
What Iceland did against Portugal was very unlike how they've played in the rest of their games. They absolutely super parked the bus and played ultra defensive and they did over celebrate. His comments weren't necessary, but his frustration was understandable, they completed like 300 more passes or something absurd and shot differential was like 27-4.
Did a little research on both classes going on the 247 Composite ranking because I have nothing better to do.
So essentially we have the 33rd class (if Hafiz commits tomorrow it will bump up to around 27 or so) and we have 12 commits compared to UVA's 16 and they have the 38th ranked class. Our lowest rated guy, Devante Smith, ranks higher than 7 of their commits. Their top guy would rank 4th on our current commit list.
While VT's class isn't stellar by any means, it is still significantly better than UVA's, and the main reason UVA's ranks 38th is because of numbers, and not quality. Like I said before, if Hafiz commits tomorrow we would bump up to a fringe top 25 class while UVA would be around 40 and still falling.
After Ronaldo decided it was his job to say that Iceland, after tying Portugal and celebrating like they won the tournament, wouldn't do anything in the tournament, I've been all Team Iceland and Anti-Portugal. The same Iceland that is in the Quarterfinals as well. Ronaldo is a great player, but his ego and tantrums make him insufferable.
He didn't look like they were going terribly fast. Generally I like to fish in a cove on Claytor to stay out of the boaters way.
Holds up hands. Between flood damage repairs and assessment, I have been working 12+ hour days.
This looks kinda fun but as someone who fishes alot these people piss me off more than any other. Usually on Lake anna it's groups of kids running circles in same area doing this while knowing they are messing with the fishermen.
They have an up-and-coming head coach, just like us. That's probably most of the reason.
