# | Hokies' Open Practice Reveals Rapid Pace, Injuries and A Glimpse at the Future 
Little does he realize that's the cheap stuff.
I hired professionals for the heat pump and windows.
Did they just dress up in sexy HVAC outfits, or did you mean actual installers?
Hey man I'm engaged and she has already had me building a deck pave the driveway and repainted the house. I miss the single life

# | Hokies' Open Practice Reveals Rapid Pace, Injuries and A Glimpse at the Future I can't up-vote this enough. They're just always so happy and a pleasure to be around.
The engagement ring, wedding (which we are getting help with but still have to pay for some things) and honeymoon or not typical expenses that I expect to encounter for the next couple of years.
We all hope that!!
I did the fence and the basement which is why you are seeing materials rates. I hired professionals for the heat pump and windows.
Shake them t!tties when you join, b!tch
I don't have a house. or a dog. So, in theory, that's $16,700 and counting...that I could potentially save. I know that life's expenses aren't going to stop after the wedding. I know that once I have a house, and kids, those expenses will seem endless. But I have neither of those. The engagement ring, wedding (which we are getting help with but still have to pay for some things) and honeymoon or not typical expenses that I expect to encounter for the next couple of years.

# | Justin Fuente Transcript from 2016 ACC Football Coaches Spring Media Teleconference "We've got some players who know what they're doing. We need the other players to learn from them. We want the players who are not college ready to get college ready so they can contribute. We have potential, we just need to develop it. We need to get tougher. The competition will get after you...."
Or something like that. Our coach can talk the talk. A+ in coach speak. I hate the off season.
Wait-so you did all that or did you pay someone? Because if that was all you, could I please have a list of your rates?

It's also 2hrs from Atlanta and Charlotte in either direction. I can confirm Greenville, Atlanta, and Charlotte are very popular places for grads to go and many of them return for games.
Since the wedding, my wife has had me build a fence in the backyard for her dog ($2,500), put in a heat pump ($8,000), replace all the windows ($5,000), and redo the basement ($1,200 and counting...) The expenses don't end with the wedding.
I'm not concerned.
To your first point, there are always lots of players on the mend during spring and summer camps. That is nothing new. We've had quite a number of players hitting injury reports as long as I can remember.
Regarding leaving the defense out to dry: Imagine going 3-and-out. The first play is an inside run for little or no gain. 32 seconds come off the clock as the team huddles and calls/executes the next play. 2nd down is an incomplete pass, stopping the clock, and leading to a 3rd-and-long. 3rd down is another incomplete pass. 6 seconds come off the clock. So altogether the offense burned a whopping 38 seconds on a drive, and is now punting to put the defense back on the field.
Now do that 8 to 10 times in a single game. That is what our defense is accustomed to.
If our new offense goes 3-and-out a lot, like previous offenses at VT have, then yes, our defense will get tired. But I don't really expect that to happen. Will our offense go 3-and-out occasionally? Yes, absolutely. But I don't think it's going to be a serious problem that becomes detrimental to the defense.
Also consider this: Due to the new tempo, and the way the team practices, the defense is much more well conditioned than it ever has been. So if the new offense can manage to avoid going 3-and-out more than 4 or 5 times in a game, the defense will actually get MORE rest than they have in previous years AND they'll be in better shape from the current conditioning program.
As far as I'm concerned, if this offense manages to get at least one first down on at least 75% of their drives (which I don't think is unreasonable to expect) then our defense should be absolutely fine, if not better off than before.
Keep in mind that Clemson is very close to Greenville, Spartanburg and Columbia. It is becoming a very upscale location and lots of grads can find decent paying jobs very close by. They may feel more connected being that close.

# | Trio of Virginia Prospects Bond During Visit to See Hokies' "Up-Tempo" Spring Scrimmage The end of this story made a lot more sense once I realized Franklin's Battlefield HS is in Texas. I was like... "why would a Battlefield kid be making a long trek to get to VT?"
Someone talked at length about this last year. But it boils down to this a a VT system wide issue and there is nothing the HC can do to get rid of that part until the entire school does.
As a somewhat recent graduate without the means to drop the big bucks on prime tickets yet, can someone who's done it recently tell me what the best seats I'll be looking at are... if we were to go buy new season tickets at hokietickets.com? It's something I've considered in the past but figured I could get better tickets in the secondary market (and I did) for the same price. Now with the renewed excitement I'm thinking about going through the school for simplicity.
Anybody able to shed light on that?
Maybe more...
I don't believe there's been any correlation shown between tempo and injuries.
Can we all agree right now not to boo injuries of the other team. As a Clemson student, I watched four years of crowd wide booing anytime someone on the other team got hurt "because they are just trying to slow down our offense" somehow forgetting that a violent tackle football game is being played by high level athletes. It got so bad that they would occasionally boo when opposing offensive players got hurt because... they were slowing their defense down?? It was very frustrating to watch as amateur athletes were booed for being legitimately injured, no class.
And on a somewhat related note, if I closed my eyes I'm about 99% sure I would have no chance in hell at picking out which Edmunds brother was answering questions. They talk exactly the same.
