Good catch. How about we just say "1A"? That way they can be the dirtiest in both divisions.

(Note: I really hate they changed it from 1A/1AA)

Fuente's offense doesn't feature many formations. Instead, it is tempo and play design that threatens the defense at multiple pressures points which causes the defense to wear down and ultimately break.

I'm just happy that it's now possible to accurately describe our defense offensive philosophy in two sentences or less.

I didn't mean to accuse you of being judgmental (your post wasn't), but my comment was in response to:

you brought those two substances up in a manner that suggests that it's ok because "everyone does it",

There are a lot of laws that are routinely and knowingly broken by US citizens, like speeding, which is ok because 'everyone does it'. It's dumb that you can get kicked out of school for something as harmless as this.

But, this discussion is largely irrelevant. Blacksburg police don't randomly search people for drugs. If you have an illegal substance on you, and a cop feels (s)he has reason to search you, then you're doing something to attract attention to yourself, which, common sense would (should) tell you not to do when there's drugs on your person.

yeah but realistically, the offense may only have the ball for 28-32 minutes during a given game. So while those numbers seem impressive given the shorter periods with a running clock, we still played more offense than we would in a normal game.

My brother (didn't go to Tech) knew a guy who got busted for something like 50 pounds of weed. He saw it before the kid got busted and said it was the size of one of those square bales of hay. Not sure what happened to the guy but I'm pretty sure he couldn't say it was just for recreational use.

yeah this concerns me to some degree. On the one hand, it's encouraging to think that this offense is simpler to operate and will thus lead to fewer mistakes. On the other hand, if the QBs are only looking at one or two options and not really going through progressions that raises concerns for various reasons. Among them, getting QBs prepared for the NFL is a selling point. If Lynch's downside really is that he doesn't know how to read through his progressions and is several years away from being ready for a starting QB job in the league that could affect recruiting down the road.

That is a bit of a long term concern. A more immediate concern is the fact that, as you pointed out, WRs are running free in the secondary but if that isn't where the QB is looking then they don't get the ball thrown in their direction. I would much rather have a QB who can come off of his first read to find an open receiver in his second or third read as opposed to a guy who will just pull the ball and run for it if his first read isn't open.

It would depend on where they were caught with possession. If it was on campus, it would still be a thing with the University. Off campus appears to be different based upon what I found in the major Colorado schools' student conduct handbook, but it is a bit ambiguous in parts as to whether it is still a violation in that respect.

My thought on the tempo was that the team got it, but it was the coaches that slowed the team down. On numerous occasions, the offense was often lined up and ready to go quickly, but had to wait ten seconds more for the play to come in. I am sure this is due to a new system and the fact that every series had a different set of players - meaning the fall will be even faster.

80 plays and 430 yards of offense in 48 minutes of running clock time is impressive (at least from a VT offense).

(5) Exclusive: Maybe. VT has dominated in Scott Stadium, but it's hard argue that it's exclusive.

Ahh, but nobody else can claim a 12 year winning streak against them. So we're exclusive in that venture. And let's be honest, when VT plays there the stands have more Hokies than Hoos... sooooo

Was present at a party in Pritchard during exam week. Guy who lived in the room played music too loud, after multiple warnings we were all written up - referred for JRs or whatever the process was.

While the RA was writing us up, I was belligerent (I was just there - no idea why he wrote up everyone and it ticked me off), argued with him. Generally just made things worse. One guy who was there kept telling me "Just shut up! Let's get this over with. I have to piss!"

I was in the Corps at the time, expected to go to Exec, but nothing ever came of it. No idea why.

I wonder if this is a problem for the kids at the Colorado and the Washington schools.

The alcohol thing for Gaines would still matter and the failure to drive properly for Adonis would still matter but the possession wouldn't be a thing, would it?

Also, how much were they caught with? Would it best be measured in grams or pounds? That matters.

it could be argued speeding is actually more dangerous because you're putting other peoples lives at risk (pedestrians, yourself, passengers, other drivers)

in terms of purely school standing they're not equal but i could see an argument for them being equal in the bigger picture
