I mean come on it wasn't a complete dive the defender made some contact, it's horrible that a tic tacky call like that cost him a game and a half.
Because you can see he kicks his leg into the defender to make it look like he was tripped. In an effort to cut down on diving, obvious things like that are a yellow card. Just happens to be that he had a stupid yellow earlier in the game.

Spring Game Final Score 6 - 2
That is all I have to say about that.
It's just better to avoid even the appearance of impropriety.
Otherwise you get into the game of "yeah, he gave me money/goods/services, but it had nothing to do with my decision-making afterwards".
If he wants to help out high school students, I think that's great. When he starts mixing that with recruiting for one organization, it becomes similar to all other "well-meaning" organizations who would like to mix recruiting with the free exchange of dollars and allegiances.
It's a slippery-slope that's works better if we keep them separated.
I have watched this 20 times and showed it to everyone I've come across the last 24 hours. Just too funny when he stands up in the bath...
Just when I thought I was getting to understand soccer the LC vs WH match today confused the hell out of me. I know the contact with Vardy didn't sent him falling down that hard but why did he get sent off and cost him a match next week? Every match I've watched I've seen players go down clutching at legs or arms from soft contact.
I think most of us already knew that he was playing well in Europe.
I agree. I assume that McMillian and Teller will be the guys. At the same time, it is good that some of the younger guys are playing well enough to earn first team work. That improves depth. A lack of depth at many positions has been an issue in Blacksburg for some time.
I feel like rotating so many people in the one's group is more pace/depth related than incumbent starters losing their jobs. I like that we are developing that depth but I have a hard time believing Teller, our best offensive lineman, would lose significant reps in real games to Tyrell Smith or Sam Rogers get more carries than Travon. I love that we are developing depth because great teams have the depth to survive injuries, which has derailed some of our last few seasons considerably. Also the pace of play might lend to us substituting more often. I think it's a great way to practice, but I don't think those guys aren't going to get the most reps come fall.
Looks like Med's knee is fine
Our team scrimmages and practices seem so much more physical and fast paced than prior years. I love the change in player attitudes and overall buy in of the new staff. I hope we surprise some ACC teams this year with a new toughness that we needed.
Thanks
I will reserve full judgement until I see both Gaines and Hill getting robust work against the run game. Both look like guys I am comfortable with in passing down situations based on what I have seen so far.
Gaines work in particular during pass rush drills all spring long has been pretty impressive for a young player. He has more edge speed than any other option on the roster and has demonstrated a nice assortment of leverage moves. Hill has received less camera time, so I am going to be paying close attention to him next week.

Definitely. Some things transcend sports rivalries.
French, do you see Gaines as being competitive on the game field at this point or just the next best option at this stage of preparation? Thanks for the post!
I love the ACC championship and other trophies included in the pic. Nice little dig at UVA, since none of their players were even born the last time they were co-champions.
Thanks for another in-depth article French, even though they're only giving us little snippets of video to go by. Always appreciated.
This is going to be a season of change and not just prior to the first game. It seems like there are so many interchangeable players at so many positions.
My wife figured it out, of course, it's in Winston Salem.
Arguing about janitors' point of views. I love this website.
Right now they're saving a few $.$$ x106.
So many teams never have a healthy Wang. So much wasted potential due to injuries...
Oh, I understand all that. I just don't think it's as simple as we're making it. Hand the reins over to someone else for your tenure.
But until some recruit says "Marcus Lattimore paid me to" or "the Lattimore organization persuaded me to go to USC," it's all appearances.
But appearance is reality as we say in the Navy, whether it really is or not. So tl;dr, I agree that it's a bad idea for him to hold both positions, but not because it's inherently bad.
Spring scores dont mean crap. Tenn was like 70-63 and Bama was 7-3. But this won't stop the Loeffer haters from piling on.
