This is the difference between a sellout and a full house. All the tickets sold, but not all of them resold to people who would actually use them.

Yeah, I was, but this time when I went back to the topic post, my computer didn't skip the first half of the post. Just saw that he was, indeed, a policeman. I do try to read the links when I see them, but my screen was jumping up and down and when it stopped, it had omitted the first sentence that said he was a cop and the link to Jacksonville. In this case, I can truly blame my computer, which hasn't been acting right for a couple of weeks, and thank you for your reply. Leg for your trouble.

purdue> every team evans played against.

switch the roles and I don't think im that far off from evans playing poor last year as the back up for VT and motley putting up some pretty darn good numbers in playing D2 ball. motleys offense didn't require him to throw in highschool. that doesn't mean he wasn't or wouldn't have been able too. clearly someone must have saw something he didn't walk on to VT nor was it his only offer from a D1 school that didn't run the triple option.

I also have an opinion.

and it is my opinion that the QB race was open to whoever won it. and if motley wins it it will because motley won it and is better than evans.

He was worried about his job. Someone called the freaking mayor and tried to get the officer to talk to the mayor on the phone.

A revamped offense philosophy should help with that in terms of Ws which equal sell-outs.

Thanks for your service. But it sounds like you should be equally upset at the officer for getting starstruck (if that happened).

This was an amaze balls article. When reading about the philosophy of AAA (of which it pisses me off that the article made absolutely ZERO mention of Dean Gray and DBU), makes me feel like I've just been inside the mind of a freakin genius.

This is just my thought on the fan sentiment and it could be off, Im wondering if other people feel the same way:

Lawson
I think Lawson has the most hype - I think if he started he'd have the longest patience from the fans, if he came out and played lousy but had one amazing play, I think people would be like 'See!, See!, I told you Lawson was great!'

Evans
I think Evans comes in second - I think if he comes out efficient, he gets the support but if he comes in hot, his hypemachine I think will be unstoppable, even if he has a bad game or two, people will shrug it off if he comes in looking really good, I dont know what to think if he looks out of it in the spring game, its weird, I feel like people want to hand Lawson the keys before anyones really seen anything from him, I dont know if its the Stars or what, but Evans basically rewrote all of the JUCO QB records playing in only 8 games, I still feel like hes a little under the radar, people wrote off this signing class, when he statistically has to be the best QB weve had since Tyrod, maybe it was the timing of signing early

Motley
Lastly Motley, I think if he has to look really, really good in the spring game to get some momentum and even then, I think the fanbase doesnt seem like they trust him, one game and I think they start calling for the bench, I dont think he has the Hype so I feel like we like him okay if he plays well, but if he even plays mediocre I think the masses turn on him,

Jack Click
I think if Click comes in and wins (down the road, sounds like that trip sailed this season) I think if he plays well, hell get support and people will say "Fuente, QB whisperer, taking overlooked guys and making them NFL potential", - this one Im not so solid on, but I could see it.

Itd be interesting to hear some other peoples take on where the fans are leaning...

That entire situation was made worse by the fact that Frank seemed to cave to popular opinion. Frank should have taken his lumps with Glennon in '08 and maintained Tyrod's redshirt like the original plan called for, but that went out the window the minute we lost to ECU. There was a bit of a lack of leadership on the part of Beamer and O'Cain that took a bad situation and made it worse.

Well this comment certainly touched off a firestorm.

Let me say that I don't care for the wording here, as it come very close to an insult against Motley. Mot was put in a very difficult position last season, forced into the starter's role when it was obvious Lefty had spent most of the off-season getting Brewer completely comfortable with the offense. Brenden played his nuts off, and the defense shoulders a fair share of the blame for the losses we suffered with Motley as the starter. Beyond that, I think Motley is much better suited to Fuente's offense than he was to Lefty's. Mot is not a pro style QB, and I think a lot of what Fuente does on offense plays to his strengths. I could see him being a successful leader of the offense under the new scheme.

Having said that, I think Evans will eventually win the job, because I think he's the better quarterback. Both Evans and Motley have arms, but from the film I've seen, Evans doesn't sail his long ball. They both have size, but Motley has had some tweaks that make me question his durability. And the biggest knock on Motley is the lack of pocket awareness he displayed last year. That will probably be mitigated some by the pace of Fuente's offense, but if you can't sense blind side pressure until it's stripping the ball out of your hand, that's a real problem in any offense.

Mot has some issues with his game. For that reason, I agree that Evans will be our starter, while I also disagree that it will be a long season if Motley wins the job.

We have had quite a few games in that span that were technically sellouts, but had a ton of empty space in SEZ and East Stands.

I agree that most have served their purpose in terms of advancing the main story lines, but at the point where they're killed off they are often primary parts of the story, and the viewer's expectations about the direction of the plot get upended. Plenty of authors kill off minor side characters, but they are obviously side characters. In Martin's stories there are plenty of characters that up until their deaths seem central to the ongoing plot.

I don't care who you are, you jump out of your vehicle when I pulled you over and not only didn't get back in when told but walked away to converse with people walking by you are going in handcuffs and into my car. His brother, a passenger in the vehicle is free to do two things, walk away since he has not committed the crime the traffic stop is addressing or sit in the vehicle and keep quite. For the first thing for Dabo to say "I'm here and late for my radio show" shows to me a former police officer the lack of respect for both the officer and the speed limit where he was.
