Sadly, I didn't come up with it on my own
This explosive #GameofThrones episode explained how the White Walkers could take Westeros https://t.co/r6vaLrZa7y pic.twitter.com/NuhnFlHi1D— R+L=Joanna Robinson (@jowrotethis) May 23, 2016
It probably explains his panic attacks every time they are threatened.
Oh, sweet, they even used the cool piano theme intro from the original score in it. Yeah, I can kinda dig it.
Rinse and Repeat!
Again, he prepped a year so comparing him to other true freshmen out of HS is absurd to me. Also, just because our OT depth was so horrible that we had a d3 transfer starting at RT out of necessity and had to play Yosh doesn't mean it was because he was that good. I'm as hopeful as anyone that he goes on to be a NFL caliber OT, but there are plenty of capable OTs out there that could have played but their teams had the luxury of not needing to.
J McLaughlin is another example of a kid that prepped and came right in and started at LT. He played admirably, but was forced due to our recruiting misses and depth.
Hadn't thought about that angle, but if Meera is somehow able to get Bran south of the Wall by herself, that would certainly open up the path for the Walkers
This would include Clemson's 5 star Mitch Hyatt, who started all year and didn't draw ire from fans, for comparison.
Getting kicked in the head by a horse would have been better.
When I rewatched, I definitely think the hints were all there that Hodor knew what his fate was going to be, or at least had seen a vision of it at some point.
Based on my understanding of French's breakdown, I think a lot of the difference in the sack rate are due to the play calling and design, not the play of the O'line or the QB, which means that should transfer over fairly quickly. Am I correct in this, or was having a non-mobile QB a big factor in our rate (which also should change), or was it their O'line was better at pass blocking than ours?
I don't know how many snaps Nijman played but this seems relevant to the discussion.
14 true freshmen OTs played at least 240 snaps in 2015 and only one posted a positive overall grade:Connor Williams, Texas— PFF College (@PFF_College) May 23, 2016

Until VT goes 2-2 or 1-3 in those games...
Followed by the obligatory and not funny TE to QB or QB to TE joke. ha ha
What does the position he had delusions of grandeur of playing have to do with anything?
As for my numbers, how many true frosh at power 5 programs played as many significant minutes at OT as Nijman last yr? I'll wager it's a small number and I'll guarantee you that at VT over the last 20 yrs it's < 1 in 10.
Extremely raw is hyperbole. Period. A work in progress - and ahead of schedule - is more accurate.
That's probably a safe assumption. We'll see Hodor again as a wight I'd imagine which will make it a gut-wrenching confrontation with, I'm imagining, a Stark. But a member of the undead or just plain dead, Hodor is not the Hodor we know anymore.
SET THE TONE!

# | Tennessee football opener vs. Appalachian State moved to Thursday night Unfortunately, Armanti Edwards isn't walking through that door. And remember, this is the same App St our offensively inept program hung 66 on right after he graduated.... sooooo yeah
Welp, now I wish I didn't know why Hodor can't really talk anymore...
Sack prevention rate anyone?
One bright spot is sack rate — while Virginia Tech was among the worst in the country at allowing sacks, Memphis was among the best.
The way people talk about this kind of stat would make JJ Owens bald head light up. I know what you mean, but weren't we actually among the worst at preventing sacks while Memphis was one of the best?

# | Tennessee football opener vs. Appalachian State moved to Thursday night You'll have a different attitude after the game. Trust me. I went to the CFA Bowl in 2009 and came back with almost as much vitriol for the Vols as I have for UVA.
We don't actually see Hodor die, do we?
What are the odds he's converted into a White Walker super-warrior to help in their attack on Westeros? I'm guessing pretty damn high
Apparently he actually was thinking that far ahead....
The final time we ended up together, the conversation went like this:
Me: I finally figured out why you have a character named "Hodor."
Martin: Oh?
Me: I was thinking about your comment about wanting to be an elevator operator. It's clear to me now that "Hodor" is short for "Hold the door."
Martin: (laughing) You don't know how close to the truth you are!
Followed by citing a bad school like Maryland getting 5 star recruits so we should too.
Sweet #beachflow there, Hoos.
