# | Buzzketball Loses a Coach, Gains a Recruit, Left With More Questions is this sarcasm? downvote for now
anytime you want to do the research and provide an article, feel free. Until then, even if you don't agree, respect the time and effort it takes to create.
And pro tip: when complaining about content you should write a post that has more substance to it than whining.
Sounds like Battle at Bristol will be aired on CBS. Too bad for people staying home, I'd rather sit in the very last row, without a binocular, behind a 7' 400lb man blowing sweat on my face then watch a football game on CBS. This also guarantees a 4+ hour game with 10 minute commercial breaks between plays, unfortunately.
while many of us can be accused of wasting board space (heck some of us make it our life's goal), I doubt that can be said about any of the front page content. All high quality as far as I'm concerned.
Or maybe you just meant to reply to a specific comment and missed the "reply >>" button
ok, so let's expand "the sam rogers of the world" to include not only under recruited players who pan out, but also players who have a good head on their shoulders, put the team first, and have a good work ethic. I don't think the author is saying recruit lesser talent in the hopes they get better, it's recruit the best players who have the character necessary for the team instead of sacrificing the latter for the former. Maybe that's a 5 star talent, maybe that's a promising 2 star talent.
First of all, I didn't "waste board space" because I'm asked to write on the front page of this website. I didn't post it on a message board. I wrote an article. Thanks.
Also, if you can't handle the simple realities of a challenge, I don't know what to tell you. Things can be challenging and also improving. If you want to close your eyes and pretend Buzz can waltz in to Blacksburg, wave a magic wand and magically fix things, go for it.
I choose to come from the thought process of recognizing the obstacles in the path of success, and being even more pleased when they're worked around/eradicated. Also, again to the "crap Debbie downer post," I also said that they just signed the most important recruit to date. That's a very positive thing.
I was there too, never seen anything like it. Once they showed it on the big board and the crowd erupted in boos they immediately ended the review. So weird.
I didn't include that one because they at least reviewed it for a certain amount of time and the catch rule has always been a point of ridiculous inconsistency. The difference between that one and the UNC game was that they stopped the review like literally 15-20 seconds after they said it was under review. For something (reviews) that often draw ire for how long they take, it was easily the fastest review I have ever seen by a longshot.
the fasted review I have ever seen by a longshot
Bingo, I was there, that review was ridiculously short and I commented about it here on TKP. The replay on the board Was. Not. A. Catch.
Someone didn't want the game to go any longer.
Considering most people are getting in Friday night because the traffic will be absurd Saturday, there will be a lot of people in town for Gameday.
It's a neutral site but the fan attendance was never going to be split 50/50. Tennessee was always going to have more fans it is just a quesiton of how many more.
The SEC has TV rights to the game and will announce a start time at a future date.
So, if SEC has game rights, what does that mean for TV $$$ for VT and the ACC? Anyone know? Thanks
I'd say high as well. The broadcast partner for the game is ESPN/ABC. I can't see them letting this one fly under the radar.
"The much-anticipated Battle at Bristol against Tennessee still does not have a kickoff time. The SEC has TV rights to the game and will announce a start time at a future date."
It should be noted however that Pitt@PSU was just announced as a Noon Kick, as they were the only other major game(SCAR@MSU I guess too). Essentially guarantees Bristol as both the Primetime slot and getting Gameday.
A Tennessee home game doesn't have 50,000+ Hokies at it.
div 1a, fcs, div II, whatever they are called now. Same, we should not be playing such lower tier schools because it is loose-loose for us. We win then we should have so no big deal, we loose and we hear JMU jokes until the end of time...
can a team win with the Sam Rogers of the world
Let's say 1 of every 20 two-star recruits is a Sam Rogers (a two-star recruit that plays like a 4ish star). It's just not reasonable to expect a staff to build a team by recruiting a players with a 5% success rate.
Mahalo!
Agreed. No need to have any type of realism or objective evaluation.
Bring on the 2017 Natty baby! The ACC wont know what hit em!
Am I doing it right?
/s
couldn't get any more
American'Murican,
FTFY
Chances College Gameday is at VT-UT? I'd say high considering the next best game that weekend is BYU vs Utah.
Those people should not be breeding!
I agree, especially if the red flags are waving in your face, but Marcus had a brother who was unworldly successful at our school. The head coach was well acquainted with the family and looking back at that time, it was not a wild reach to bring him on campus as a scholarship athlete if he met entrance requirements. I can't say about Johnny Football, but looking at this stats as a high school player, was it a major gamble too? Nearly every kid I knew in high school partied, drank beer and stayed out late, even the best athletes from around the state - as measured by Boys State conversations. I recall that Manziel performed pretty darn well for the Aggies despite what he might have been up to otherwise. It was more the Browns who dropped the ball on him.
Now, how many Sam Rogers are there in this world? He is even more of an exception and harder to find than the elite. He is truly special and I think it's a bias of many coaches to overlook him because he does not meet certain criteria that they want or believe are harbingers of success as football players. Anyway, while it is a perfect off-season topic and I see what he/she is saying, I do not agree with the basic premise of the above author simply because there are not that many elite athlete's out there - say as measured by a 5-star ranking? And of them, how many actually fall into the Marcus-Manziel bad-apple category? Each kid must be measured on his own merit and I think we need to give coaches (most at least) credit for not just taking a kid because he has five stars - they take them because they can. Two, three and four-star kids can be just as bad, poisonous and troublesome. I know cuz I was once around them.
All just my opinion of course.
Freakin' me out Man!
Like this world could handle a who team of Sam Rodgers. After winning the College Championships, Superbowl, and World Series such a team would no doubt take over the Earth...
