I think that college football, like any hyper competitive business in the world, oftentimes requires putting up with 1 ultra talented ultra jerk to get things to the next level sometimes. And those people are going to be in demand, and they know it.
Now I am not advocating that things like actual criminal behavior should be ignored. But if you look at any scenario where you need "the best" to get ahead, sometimes you gotta grin and bear it. Take a company like Apple for example. By all accounts Steve Jobs was a grade A ass (and a terrible father to boot). But Apple is nothing without his involvement.
Marcus Vick is a prime example. If he hadn't been such a bonehead and getting himself in trouble, if all we had to deal with was a prima donna attitude I think we would have been OK with that. He had the skill necessary to take VT to a level even his brother couldn't in my opinion, just 2 cent decision making to go along with it off the field.
Carden Holler ftw!!!!
I hope so!
Do you take reservations? TKP discounts? Can I pay in turkey legs?
And I don't care if they have Christopher Nolan executing the most awe inspiring video editing ever seen in a football game, after the 4.5 hour (no OT) Georgia-Tennessee game last year I promised myself I wouldn't subject me or my family to their broadcasts ever again. They've honed the touchdown->commercial->extra point->commercial->kickoff->commercial sequence into an unholy spectacle of ultra-consumerist art.
Watching the E:60 on DHall provides a lot of context on his attitude, and the difference between him on and off the field. I think there is a lot more than meets the eye. The fact is there is often, not always, two different types of great players. Look no further than Sherman vs. Chancellor. Some want to be in your face, and some prefer the Bruce Wayne path. As long as they stay out of trouble and can back up any $%&# they want to talk, then all good by me. I don't prefer people with a "me" attitude, but for better or worse, we could start quite a long thread of hall of fame players with it. Perhaps, that might just be what motivated them to be great in the first place.

# | Captain America: Civil War (or Avengers 3: Civil War sans Hulk, Thor and Quicksilver)#ALLTHESPOILERS As far as being Peter Parker, Maguire fits the bill way better than Garfield. People have let Spiderman 3 ruin their opinion of that whole trilogy. Even though literally every critic who matters and the majority of fans know Spiderman 1 and 2 were by far the best Spiderman movies.
That would be a total #goACC way to announce it.
Man he's quick!
That makes sense. Football season ended a while ago though and I haven't bitched griped about cbs' football coverage in months! Thank god we're not in the SEC.

# | Captain America: Civil War (or Avengers 3: Civil War sans Hulk, Thor and Quicksilver)#ALLTHESPOILERS He is the worst. Like I can't bring myself to watch the original trilogy because he annoys me so much as an actor. Even Kristen Dunst was inferior to Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy. Aunt May was better in the new one too. Oh, and Harry Osborn too. I like Franco but that's not a good role for him.
Our 1,000 yard rusher and 1,000 yard receiver combo?
Our JuCo QB making his 2nd start at VT after putting up 200 yards rushing/200 yards passing in the first half against Liberty?
Fuck the entire state of West Virginia...and Matt Ryan.
Wait so you're not a Hokie....
Love the disagreement, man. It's what this thing is supposed to be about. We disagree, and that's cool, but let me just say this:
Your son wants to grow up to play in the NBA. He's currently in middle school, and maybe just had a random bad game or lost his starting spot (equivalent of losing Chew). Something like that is not the end of the world, in terms of his long-term goal it's relatively easy to overcome. But it's foolish to not recognize that you and your wife are both under 5'10" (again: hypotheical, I don't creepily know how tall you are) and that limits his current ceiling as a young hoopster.
Now are those genes the end of the dream? Absolutely not! But isn't it both pragmatic and necessary to recognize the limitations on the road ahead, especially in order to address them? I wrote this less about TAMU, and more about VT. We all love the progress the program has made, but in the bigger picture view it still can't compete with many other schools out there today.
Can it change? Absolutely. This isn't a "climb under your desk and wait for the bomb to drop" piece, but in my opinion Chew's departure does highlight legitimate problems that the fan base can forget while thinking about the progress already made.
The tickets I got in the Allison section came to $115 per with tax

# | Captain America: Civil War (or Avengers 3: Civil War sans Hulk, Thor and Quicksilver)#ALLTHESPOILERS Sorry, I just have to say this: Batman is a superhero, The Dark Knight is the best superhero movie of all-time and there shouldn't even be a debate about it.
Responded to your original post above.
There is a link to Camp Coordinator through BMS. I think part of the ticket purchase (which actually gets completed) through BMS included a check box to be informed about campsites.
I got a call from a very nice rep from BMS named Darrel Marshall. Contact info below

That should be a thing. Have a create the most incredible Bloody Mary at a tailgate event. It would be awesome!
Wow!!!
The key to getting around BMS is taking the back roads. I go to the race every year and live local. Volunteer Parkway is not the way to go. Trust me!
Is it still considered a hand ball if you have four legs?
People want to oversimplify home field advantage into a supportive crowd. In reality, it means as much or more to know the nuances of your stadium and your playing surface. The crowd can be screaming their heads off for you, but that won't be worth as much if you have no clue how the turf will feel if it starts raining, or how the wind swirls in the end zone during a field goal attempt.
If it's from Bleacher Report then it must be solid. God knows, it's not as though any random barstool sports sage with a laptop and an internet connection can contribute their insight there...
Really dug this reality post. (Can moles get on a treadmill too?)
