Welcome!
Welcome to Hokie Nation!
Should be a nice LG by sophomore year.
I AM SOOO HAPPY AND BLESSED TO SAY THAT I HAVE COMMITED TO VIRGINA TECH!!!!!!!#GOHOKIES— Lecitus Smith (@lecitus_smith) June 15, 2016
Leticus Smith just committed! TE from Georgia 3 star. I'll let others add the beef to this commit
and of course Lebron went off, Draymond has been a huge part of keeping him in check for most of the series and is an absolute crucial cog in the defensive piece of the warriors. I'm not saying the guy had to go off for 30, I'm saying he had to A) provide a threat on offense and B) help keep lebron in check because he matches up with him about as well as anyone else on the warriors team
the difference is they dont lobby after the game for a suspension. I dont have a problem with bitching to refs, i mean im a soccer player I know all about gamesmenship. What i do have a problem with is lebron complaining because he got called a bitch. Come on dude grow a pair I guarantee you hes been called worse at a bar and didnt have the nerve to T-bag the guy because of it
I agree that warriors fans complain to the refs a lot and lebron does as well, hell the entire nba does, and i have 0 problem with that. I have a problem with post game interviews basically asking for a player to get suspended, that was beyond disgraceful. Had Draymond been kicked out of the thunder series I'd have 0 problem with it. The dude totally deserved it, but to say Draymond deserved a flagrant on that play and Lebron did nothing wrong (he got no punishment) is absolutely wrong.
We just will never know, though, will we? Take a major ingredient out of any recipe and you are going to get a different pie (or cake for those misguided souls amongst us). Props to Lebron and Kyrie for upping their game, but Green would likely have made things a bit more interesting. Like you, I am not sure it would have made for a different winner, but like I said, we'll never know.
I want the Warriors to win the series, but it did annoy me to log on to Twitter just to see Ayesha Curry blaming the refs, just days after she called out LeBron on Twitter as well.
Seems to me like she was trying avoid making excuses for calling out LeBron the other day. I think the Warriors still win the series, but her and Klay need to learn not to publicly call out LeBron, because as he showed on Monday, if you do you're not gonna have a fun time.
Kinda reminds of when D-Wade and LeBron made fun of Dirk in the 2011 Finals. They both harshly learned their lesson, and if Golden State isn't careful, they will harshly learn their lesson as well.
how much of that yardage was running circles around Clemson's defense?
Hopefully half of his yardage. I think he deserves it.
Ok, story time. The summer before Wilson set the single-year rushing record at VT, he tweeted out something along the lines of, "lookin' for a cookout in Blacksburg. Who's doing one?" It just so happened that some of my good friends were doing just that, and one of them tweeted at him to come to Green St. It also just so happened that a bunch of Wilson's track teammates lived on Green St. and one of them had the same name as my friend who tweeted Wilson. So, David goes on over to the cookout with a couple other players, and is surprised to find a small bunch of regular peeps just chillin and having a cookout. My buddy gave him half a burger (they were running low by that point) and thus takes credit for a small portion of his record-setting rushing yardage that year.
I don't think it's unrealistic to think we'll improve on offense. I think with our schedule it's unfair to expect 8 (regular season) wins. We have to play defense too, y'know. I think we'll beat Syracuse, I just said that their offense will be half-way competent by October. I think ours will be too. That doesn't change the fact that I think 6 wins is a reasonable expectation for our team this year. I'm not saying that Dino Babers is going to have an 8-win-ceiling-expectation.
This whole discussion has gone on too long. I think it's unfair to get upset if/when this team loses more than 4 games this year. A coach should be allowed at least 3 years in college football. Frank Beamer never would have made it in today's football climate. He's said as much himself. People are so damn impatient these days and they want results immediately. It's unfair, IMO, to expect results immediately.
I'm cautiously optimistic about this season. I honestly have no idea where we'll end up. My expectation is that we should be able to win 6 games and make a bowl game. I could see us winning as many as 8 or 9. I could also see us losing as many as 7. Our schedule looks tough and we have no idea what our offense is going to look like. We don't even know who our QB is going to be!!! And we have to play defense too! Everyone seems to forget that. Bud Foster is undoubtedly one of the best DCs in the college football industry but he doesn't go into this season without challenges. Our defense is thin at several positions and relatively inexperienced at some positions. We're also switching from man to zone and we have new coaches coaching our defensive backfield. Changes like that rarely occur without any hiccups. I think it's fair to expect some growing pains defensively too.
One does not simply get stabbed in the stomach and do parkour a few days later
It started a year and a half ago and unfortunately until recently hasn't had much to offer in terms of tangible benefits to current members. That should be changing quite soon. Also, you get points which, under the new system, are a pretty significant boost to your HC standing.
I would be a surprise for the Pulaski County Hokie Club. Been a Member for Many a Years. Never hear anything. Amazing I see things like this posted. I gave a Few Dollars too....
Yeah, that's a regular season prediction. But when you predict for the whole year, it's out of all the games you've played. If I say we'll win 8 games, it doesn't really matter how we get to 8 games, just that we get there.
6 wins is mediocre. How much does he really have to break the system down in order to build it back up? VT has won championships on the backs of good defense, less 6 win seasons.
Because every prediction I've seen here is 5-7, 6-6, 7-5, 8-4, etc. Add those up, and it's 12. And every prediction I've seen from a sports writer about any team that is counting wins is based on a 12 game season.
There has to be someone out there who will tweak the rules to fit their narrative.
You mean like saying it's unrealistic to think we'll improve significantly in year 1 under Fuente, but it's realistic to think Syracuse and Babers will do the same with less talent?
Dino Babers has shown that he can turn a team into an offensive juggernaut fairly quickly and I don't really expect anything different from him at Syracuse.
All I'm saying is that season predictions are based on the 12 regular season games.
Why do you say this? When people look back on seasons, we call them x-win seasons including the bowl game. I've never heard people refer back to seasons with only the regular season win totals. So why would we look forward differently? I've never heard of people doing it that way, and it doesn't make a lot of sense. If I'm making a prediction it's a prediction of how the season/year is going to go, and that season/year includes the bowl game.
Also, I want to congratulate everyone on extending an argument this long only to find the main difference of opinion is one of semantics.
Same way at UNC, App State and Duke. You cannot get in demand tix at a North Carolina school if you are not supporting your team in non-revenue sports.
To be fair though, it says Virgina Tech. Not that I'm complaining. Woohoo new recruit!
