more fake commonwealth cups than fans at a loluva spring game
whoever their photoshop guy is has obviously graduated to 3D printing
Wow, kudos to whomever came up with the beamer dunking image
Something is screaming inside me to go to the Spring Game... even though I am making that 4 hour trip (one way) this weekend for April 16th... hmm Mount Olive Pickle Festival or Drive Back to Blacksburg two weekends in a row?
I'm with you. I want the caps to go all the way and they definitely have the potential to this year if any. However, their ability to choke it away may surpass that just because they are the Caps. Until then LETS GO CAPS!!
Clemson has designated student seating sections in both the lower and upper deck. It's not clear to me if the sections that will require payment under the new proposal are the same sections or "better" sections than the sections designated as student sections in the past. The existing student ticket process has been to distribute tickets for free on a per-game basis using a tiered hierarchy and first-come, first-serve approach. Essentially you must wait to pick-up a ticket until your appropriate group's timeslot:
-Student Organization Block Seating - Tuesday week prior to game
-IPTAY Collegiate Club Members (paid $40 annual fee) - Noon-6pm on Sunday before game
-Graduate Students - 6pm-midnight on Sunday before game
-Seniors - Noon-6pm on Monday before game
-Juniors - 6pm-midnight on Monday before game
-Sophomores - Noon-6pm on Tuesday before game
-Freshman - 6pm-midnight on Tuesday before game
-Remaining tickets - Wed, Thur, Fri (while supplies last)
The way I interpret the proposal is that paying the $225 gives you a few benefits (1) you guarantee yourself seats for every game, without having to go get in line for every game (2) you guarantee yourself seats in one of the lower level student section rather than potentially getting stuck in one of the upper deck sections.
This is somewhat similar to when Tech started offering student season tickets back in 1999. Up to that point, all student tickets were free, but they were first-come, first-serve for every game (without the tiered timeslots that Clemson uses). That said, the line started forming earlier and earlier before the time ticket distribution began. I think when the line was forming days ahead of time was when Tech realized they needed to offer another alternative. Starting in 1999, you could bypass that process by buying season tickets at a price of $7/game. Still, that first year that season tickets were offered, a lot of students (myself included) opted to save their $42 and get the free tickets through the first-come, first-serve process. The success of the 1999 season pretty much killed that though, and everyone I knew decided it was worth paying up for student season tickets in 2000.
That which does not kill you makes you stronger.
You're certainly entitled to your opinion, though some people disagree.
New Big Ten member Nebraska is the TV holdout in that conference, for instance. The Huskers don't want to show their retooled offense to their new rivals.
"I just prefer not to have it on," said Oklahoma's Bob Stoops, whose team's spring game was aired by ESPN in 2006 and '07. "Why would I let everybody see, who we're going to play early, what we like to do?"

# | Evans and Motley Lead Quarterback Competition, Shibest Takes Over BeamerBall Tradition Absolutely. Good point.
If he can keep a stellar staff and run the program right in a CEO manner he doesn't need to be the best X's and O's guy. Delegate and manage.

# | Evans and Motley Lead Quarterback Competition, Shibest Takes Over BeamerBall Tradition I agree with you but Glennon didn't help himself. It would have been one thing for Glennon to suck and not be a jerk in person, but his attitude off the field did not help him with the fans when he didn't play well on it.

# | Evans and Motley Lead Quarterback Competition, Shibest Takes Over BeamerBall Tradition I heard more BS from VT "fans" last year than I ever have. It was embarrassing. Lots of trash talking to each other in the stands. One chewed me out for leaving with two minutes left in the OSU game as I went to meet up with a close friend at Tots. The other was the 70 year old man who threatened to run over my tailgate because my cooler and table were in his spot in a half full parking lot. A dozen cops had to show up to put and end to that ordeal. I will admit that I've had my fair share of embarrassing/dumbass drunk moments in Lane that I regret, but last season seemed particularly bad from what I saw of other Hokies. I don't know what it is, but hopefully this team wins more and puts everyone in a better mood.
Sit one year with two years to play after that.
Do we know if he's a grad transfer or if he will have to sit out a year?
Although, Tyrod in blue and orange.... good thing Denver has gone back to orange crush.
Awesome gif! For another, just perfect WTF release, I offer this parrot:
wtf...wtf...WTF!!!!! parrot
I may have watched this youtube parrot 1000 times, and would like to kidnap him for my listening pleasure.
Cussing birds. It just doesn't get any better.
I might still look young enough to pass a student... doubtful, but I could give it a try.
So wait...fire is good?
Each day, two practice captains are chosen. They wear the orange gear.
Why is Chuck wearing an orange helmet and jersey?
Dang it I wish the original quote was real. That would have be epic.

# | Evans and Motley Lead Quarterback Competition, Shibest Takes Over BeamerBall Tradition I would be perfectly fine with Evans as the starter and Motley as the back, if the QB whisperers (Fuente & Cornelsen) say so. The icing on the cake would be to groom Lawson & Jackson as future QBs on the roster.
Yeah I know... You're right but it started as a quick study and the rest is best told over a cold one at a tailgate

# | Evans and Motley Lead Quarterback Competition, Shibest Takes Over BeamerBall Tradition FACT!
Now O/U the VT starter having a QB rating of 169.2, what are you taking?
Captains wear all orange?
Oh the traditionalists are going to lose their shit over that
