# | Evans and Motley Lead Quarterback Competition, Shibest Takes Over BeamerBall Tradition I have no dog in the fight...Im just voicing my concern, I get the impression from this regime that, they dont really have a dog in the fight either, they havent been coaching these kids for 5 years and going to go with the senior whos put the time in, I dont really get that impression, I think whoever wins, wins because theyve shown their the best option at quarterback...
My fear however, is the fanbase doesnt trust Motley and theyll turn on him quicker than Evans/Lawson.
...Clearly, fans will call for the backup quarterback (echos of Freshman 'Tyroddddd', 'Tyrooooooooddddd' calls from the Lane loyal)
As others have posted, I can also try and take some pictures and write some notes. It's really cool to see Fuente reaching out to us students like this!
Its sad but not surprising. College Football is becoming more and more of a business, they want to make money however they can and will continue to find ways to squeeze it out pf everyone...

# | Evans and Motley Lead Quarterback Competition, Shibest Takes Over BeamerBall Tradition It was Purdue bro, give me a break they are one of the worst teams in the FBS (6-30 record the last 3 seasons). Liberty will be more of a game than Purdue. He followed up that game with a 3 interception loss to Pitt at home and a 2 interception loss at Miami.

# | Evans and Motley Lead Quarterback Competition, Shibest Takes Over BeamerBall Tradition I agree with these last 2 comments by BMW-Baller and Hokie_x3_Hi. Opinions are welcome, but what in
If Motley is our starting QB, it's going to be a long season.
is an opinion worth having a progressive conversation on? If we started with
At the end of the day, I think Evans is going to be the starter. I think Fuente is trying to give the senior some encouragement.
I think it could lead to good conversation. Let's not make assumptions about kids that we don't even have a personal relationship with, none the less have an idea of how they are performing this year.
Klempson just announced the same thing. But they are charging $50 to get in, $35 t-shirts, and $15 selfies.

# | Evans and Motley Lead Quarterback Competition, Shibest Takes Over BeamerBall Tradition Twice last year I was at games where VT fans booed a Tech player.
PlayStation is whack!
Whit is collecting SSNs to fund the new facilities improvements.
Oh absolutely I understand that now. I was just saying that I didn't understand that when I was 18, but then again I guess that's why Clemson does it the way they do.

# | Evans and Motley Lead Quarterback Competition, Shibest Takes Over BeamerBall Tradition I really don't think the coaches will care what the fanbase has to think. Motley will really need to screw up to be Boo'd, which I hope never happens by a VT fanbase of any of our players. If he is playing that badly, odds are he will be replaced anyways. If Fuente says Motley is our guy, then I am fully behind him. We haven't been able to evaluate any of these players like they have so any of us would be pulling it out of our ass to say who is the better QB.
Not sure how that impacts what we're talking about.
In any case, I assume if we could afford such a travesty, we would do it too.
That money is made up in student fees typically. VT has a low amount of student fees, so making students who are actually invested in the athletic event pay for their season tickets is a fair way to cover the cost rather than charge everyone a fee and only 10,000 of the 28,000 student body gets to benefit from it. And yes, I know there are more benefits to your athletics fees as well.

# | Evans and Motley Lead Quarterback Competition, Shibest Takes Over BeamerBall Tradition What-ifs are great. Flaming players is not. End of story.
Edit: It's very difficult to put any insight into this discussion when Fuente has explicitly said that the offense he runs is tailored to the players he has at his disposal. What he runs here will likely be very different than what he ran with Lynch or with Dalton. It's not outside the realm of possibility to think that either Evans or Motley could be effective for him.
You mean like the $55M football players only 'village' they're getting ready to build?

# | Evans and Motley Lead Quarterback Competition, Shibest Takes Over BeamerBall Tradition This. Bud isn't going to run your standard cover 2 you see on NCAA. It will be disguised and we will have some interesting drops and zone blitzes. Also have to adjust and shift the zone when they motion guys, etc.
Yea I'm surprised it took them this long. When I starting as a Freshman at Tech 10 years ago I was very surprised and disappointed to see that students weren't given free tickets (I grew up in Clemson's shadow and that was all I had ever seen). However this day in age you almost have to. Heck, every ticket that goes to a student and not an alumni who is a paying Hokie Club, IPTAY, or whatever the school calls it member is potential money lost. Yet then again the more students the better the atmosphere so I guess it's about finding the right balance.

# | Evans and Motley Lead Quarterback Competition, Shibest Takes Over BeamerBall Tradition I agree. Then next year we are in the same situation as we would be regardless. R-So
How did that quote/paraphrase get so off base from the actual quote?

# | Evans and Motley Lead Quarterback Competition, Shibest Takes Over BeamerBall Tradition You're welcome! If we are just going to end every conversation with, "Whatever coach decides," then this place will get boring in a hurry. We are supposed to be having conversations about the "What-ifs" and the opinions. That's what internet threads are for.
Edit: Some people think only factual evidence is allowed and that you can't have an opinion without being a troll. So once again, thanks for sharing your opinion! This conversation could have turned into, "I find it interesting that you think that. Could you please elaborate? My thoughts are...." But unfortunately it didn't.

# | Clemson Proposes to Charge Students for Lower Level Tickets They just agreed to pay their coach $5M+...think they can afford to keep the student tickets free.
...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand this is why i don't watch ESPN
What about just giving the command? Seems like a safer idea.
Wow, thats insane. I'm actually sad yet proud to say that I skipped more classes than I attended. C's got me my degree.
