I was amazed that places are offering 100:1 odds on Jon Snow returning to life.
It is the third time the NCAA has listed allegations against the Tar Heels in five years

Yeah, Clay Travis is not my favorite, but his point about critic screening copies was very intriguing.
One complaint: original ID4 composer (Dave Arnold) is not returning for the film. His score was da ballz and dam-right patriotic.

# | Justin Fuente's Offense Sputters in Spring Game, Despite Handful of Bright Spots I think Josh Jackson is going to be the real deal in the future.
I tend to agree, just based on the spring game. I think he's our starter in two years, if not next year.

# | Justin Fuente's Offense Sputters in Spring Game, Despite Handful of Bright Spots I think Josh Jackson is going to be the real deal in the future. He played well in the spring game and between him and Click I think the QB position has a bright future at VT. I don't think we'll see either of them play this year but they both showed great potential. Jackson might have the highest ceiling of the QBs currently on the roster.
My personal opinion is that Evans will win the starting job. Honestly, I think most people went into the spring game with the expectation that Evans would beat out Motley and the bits of writing I've seen covering those two seem to favor Evans more strongly than I believe is warranted but I think they played fairly similar games. Both are big athletic kids who can hurt you on the ground. Evans may be more crisp passing the ball but he is far from polished. They both missed their fair share of open receivers. I don't think the gap between Motley and Evans is quite as large as many writers would have you believe. If nothing else, we're going to have a very capable back-up to whoever wins the starting job. I don't think this staff is going to put all of their eggs into one QB basket and hope the starter doesn't get hurt. I don't think we'll be in terrible shape if the starter goes down for some reason.
I'm sure that there will be some attrition. That is a pretty crowded position room right now. My hope is that we do everything we can to retain Jackson because I think he's going to be one heck of a QB for us in a few years.
Great (albeit, pretty NSFW) write up by Clay Travis reviewing the most recent episode. Highly recommend.
Just watched again Saturday night on HBO. Looking forward to the sequel. I thought Brent Spiner was killed by a tentacle neck wrap, but I guess he had to be alive so the alien could speak thru him. Of course, he is a droid. Ooops, different syfy show.

# | Justin Fuente's Offense Sputters in Spring Game, Despite Handful of Bright Spots also maybe it was the vanilla offense ran in the spring game and then the complexity of SL offense and them just not being up to speed 100% for game time. or could have been blocking assignments. I will say I was very disappointed to see that Deon Newsomes only touch today was on a jet sweep. always hoped he would be one of the kids to turn a corner.
>Sigh< for the last time, WE WEREN'T GOING TO THE NC BECAUSE OF THE FISTING FROM anLSU!
Anyone else switch over to Morgan Freeman's voice about halfway through this?
Right.
It definitely felt like Davos lingered when looking at the blood. I caught the wolf in pooled blood while watching live, but still can't make much out of the smeared blood.
It feels kind of like those ink blot tests.
Double post.
I have no idea what is going to happen, but I really really like this. I'm convinced Mel will be crucial to Jons resurrection.

# | Justin Fuente's Offense Sputters in Spring Game, Despite Handful of Bright Spots The defense seemed good, but it didn't get the feeling they were being challenged. That said, I thought it was extremely encouraging they didn't give up many/any big plays. How many times last year did we miss one-tackle (ahem -- LBs -- ahem) and they score a 50 yard TD.
There were a few QB runs that gave me the impression of being huge plays if not for the yellow jerseys. I'm still not drawing any conclusions here.
I'm pretty sure Dany burned her hand later in the books, after the bonfire scene. Targaryens aren't 100% immune to fire.
Further than a flaccid penis, that's for sure

# | Justin Fuente's Offense Sputters in Spring Game, Despite Handful of Bright Spots Thats good to hear, I couldnt make it this year, and Ive heard enough optimism to be excited.
Personally, I saw 2 quick clips from someones highlight video, and I thought it was somewhat clear, Evans looks like hell be the QB, he just looked like he had a much quicker release than everyone else and physically l thought he looked like he could be really fast, is that about right from what people saw in person?
Wouldn't that be the "using the likeness of a student-athlete to profit" clause?
I mean, I don't think he is an athlete, but man - if that is an officially licensed NCAA shirt, have fun kid and sue the heck out of them.
yeah I saw that too, he threw a bubble screen and then I thought he was going to get coached up then I saw him down on the end kinda by himself.

# | Another ESPN Analyst recognizing the potential Buzz and Company have next season Yeah, sure, but tell us something we didn't know, ESPN. It's taken too long for anybody not in Blacksburg to realize that we'd make noise soon in the ACC, they should've recognized it during this season more so than just after

# | Justin Fuente's Offense Sputters in Spring Game, Despite Handful of Bright Spots yeah it's the spring game. Trying to predict what this team will look like this fall based on what we saw (or didn't see?) this spring is a fool's errand. You can slice it any way you want, really. The team looked great! The team looked awful! Either statement has reasonable arguments to back them up.
I personally am optimistic about our offense. I generally know what to expect out of Bud's defense. We will be a good defensive team. Offense is the wild-card right now. I trust the coaches we have on staff now and I believe we have enough talent to do at least a little bit of damage. I think we'll get into ACC play at 2-1. We'll travel to South Bend to finish our OOC slate in November. I think 2-2 OOC and 8-4 overall are reasonable expectations given who we are scheduled to play this year.
It's my first day.
