So what happened with the cup?!?! Did he make it to the dumpster to meet with his family or is he still out on the ground somewhere cold and alone???
And so was the lede.
Probably. :)
now we're cooking with crisco
didn't want to risk getting in trouble
until the steroid thing
This thread is on a roll.
I was gonna be brave and say something bold but I chickened out
This really has been a buffet of humor.
I'd stick around and have some fun with this pun thread, but instead I'll simply say, "chow."
I'm not just out here to make techs numbers look bad. Im not sure what youre argument is. They have 5 Seniors on the Defensive line and 2 out of 3 Juniors likely to leave early for the NFL next year. We have 3 seniors.
And I'm sorry but I don't know there Defensive line makeup well enough to know if any of their DT would switch and play DE next year or vice versa. They list them as DL on their roster, it was a best guess to take a realistic view of the situation. I don't know what you want me to say, if you have a problem with his decision, maybe take it up with him. I'm just pointing out if that was his reasoning like he said, well, he's not wrong in that decision.
Jordan Williams might make the same decision and it's nobody's fault. I'm just saying, I'm sure its pretty hard to counter a coach when he says 'well look half our Defensive line room will be gone next year'.
13 on the DL at Tennessee 6, likely 7 are gone. Just based on pure numbers, I don't know their roster, I'm sure that was a contributing factor.
Good riddance. The guy was probably the reason they had so much turnover at the host position on First Take. Jay Crawford is the only thing good to come from that show.
Stephen A. Smith is the worst journalist on ESPN...
-Fixed it for ya :)
Dammit, guys...
French, this is not directed at you...I know that you've been patiently waiting with all of us. Just didn't know where else to post this
I know, right? Tirico is awesome, Bayless is a blowhard.
Ah, I see. I'll drink for the false claim.
A lot of people don't know their rights and that includes most college age people
I miss Holly Sonders.

# | Punter Brandon Nickle Picks the Hokies, Hoping for an Early Chance to Face His Hometown Team Great article. Seriously, can't believe I read a whole article about a punter.
I did both before college. I've sped too (not sure why people keep breaking out this analogy). I don't, however, complain about how stupid rules/laws are when I get caught. Both of those players knew and accepted the risks before they broke the rules.
Might want to check your #s again. VT's 2 expected starters at DT are both seniors (woody and nigel). We have 2 quality backups behind them in ricky walker and tim settle who are both the highest rated kids we have at the position coming out of HS.
Tenn I believe has one senior expected to start at DT and one true sophomore who was a 5 star recruit (kahlil McKenzie). They also have 5 star true sophomore shy tuttle at DT and several other sophomores.
Which school do you think has the easier path to PT? Also not sure why you are adding DEs into the equation of seniors leaving when Crosby clearly isn't a DE for either school. Might as well add corners, linebackers, etc if that's going to make the #s look more in their favor.
As for the recruiting uptick I think we'll see another class similar to last year. Devon Hunter is our best chance at an elite guy this cycle. Jordan Williams is a kid we really need to close on as well.

# | Punter Brandon Nickle Picks the Hokies, Hoping for an Early Chance to Face His Hometown Team Let's see some Jason Bourne-esqe Punter Swag a-la Necessary Roughness.
Again we lose both incumbent starters (assuming woody/nigel hold on to claim the spots) and they only have the option to lose 1 with 1 of their starters and 1 of their backups being elite 5 star kids who are true sophomores. PT seems more readily available at VT. Pointing out how many DEs are leaving for either team is irrelevant. Not sure which JRs you think are going to leave early for them either? Barnett at DE is definitely a possibility, but again that has nothing to do with Crosby. I don't have a problem with his decision you just seemed to be saying that it was a much easier path to PT for him at Tenn which I don't agree with, especially when you didn't have our depth chart/class composition correct for the DT position.
