While I do agree that Affleck did honor to the characters, I don't agree that he was the best. IMHO the best is a tie between Keaton and Kilmer. Affleck comes in a 2nd or 3rd scenario with Bale (with the obvious Clooney at the very bottom. I would've taken O'Donnell over Clooney). Like I said, just my opinion.

Hoping for a UNC/Villanova final.

Stop me if you've heard this before: Whit is really freakin' good at his job.

I went into BvS fully hoping that they were saving Superman solely for the fight with Doomsday and the character Cavill was portraying was actually Bizarro. Needless to say I was let down, but that was the only real sense I could make of a true knock down drag out brawl between Batman and Superman. Other than that I thought the movie was ok but like others have said the editing was cheap and made parts of the movie really hard to follow like the dream sequence where Snyder made it stupidly apparent that Darkseid, more on him in a bit, is going to be the villain for the Justice League movie. Affleck crushed Batman because he seemed to be completely comfortable with that distraught and disturbed version of the dark knight. Cavill as Superman is still iffy to me. MoS was crappy and this performance wasn't much better although both of these could just be Snyder not knowing how to properly do a comic book movie. As for all the Darkseid easter eggs we were given and this to me is the most important part if DC wants to compete with Marvel, you CAN NOT fuck that character up he needs to be the complete and total badass he's meant to be not some humdrum 30 minute fight like we got with Doomsday.

"There you go 12...I see you!!!" - Coach 'Bridges' Fuente

I think he's doing just fine...

I don't think I'll be surprised if Evans, Motely or Lawson get the starting job.

I don't think anyone will be surprised. Those are the top three guys, so I'd say it's expected.

Thanks Fireman!

Sixteen year old son just had that happen in his gym bag with some tropical scented stuff. I've nicknamed him Fruity (not where anyone else can hear) whenever I pick him up after practice. Knocks you over when he gets in the car.

Hopefully Brooks brings Precious Hall along with him from JMU. Hall was the 2015 CAA Player of the Year as a Junior and sat out the 2015-16 season due to injuries. Assuming Hall will graduate this spring, she could transfer to Tech and play immediately next season under NCAA graduate transfer rules.

The thing that would make me less nervous about Evans than Motley is that, from what I have seen of Evans (admittedly from "some clips"), he has better pocket awareness. That is my biggest knock on Motley, in the sense that he has none. Blind side pressure destroyed him last season. I don't doubt that Motley is better suited to Fuente's offense than he was to Lefty's, as Motley will never be a pro-style drop back passer. But Fuente does like to toss the ball around, and I'd rather have a QB that can feel the pressure coming and escape. For all Motley's mobility, it was wasted on passing plays because he was sacked before he could even try to escape.

Syracuse is nothing more than a middling team. They lost to Pitt three times. Their path to the Elite Eight included two games against a lower seed with a hangover. They were an average ACC team at best. The narrative is gaining traction because Virginia had a monumental choke job against them. They wilted under the brightest lights of the season. Sure, we're all enjoying a healthy does of schadenfreude at their expense, but this isn't just because we're VT and they're the LOLest of LOLUVA. This was a catastrophic failure of their program.

Also, fuck UVA. Them being good means we have in-state competition for recruits. I'd be ecstatic to see them go ohfer in every sport. Let it mean something when VT actually beats a good team.
