I may have figured out why LOLUVA is so bad at football.
Quick, creative, exhausting. #UVa began spring practice in the Bronco era this morning: https://t.co/wDaHlhJf2V pic.twitter.com/sFo2FUpQy0— Andrew Ramspacher (@ARamspacher) March 22, 2016
Saw that at a Classic Auto Show in Hanover, last February
Is parking first come first serve also?
I'm going to try to make it. Going to depend on where we are in the process of prepping the move to PA.
Sometimes I hear Christian Bale's Batman voice in his quotes.
Did the incognito thing several times and raised our percentage by .01%! Woo!
Agreed, Brooks would be solid.
Its only since 2013 that the Dukes can really harp on being good in softball. They made a homerun hire by stealing Mickey Dean away from Radford. At Radford he went 241-116 as a head coach, and now at JMU he has done nothing but win more than 40 games a season every year. He won the CAA tournament in 2014.
He has taken them to the NCAA's every season he has been there as well but hasnt had much success once getting there. The Dukes are 3-6 in NCAA Regionals so far under Dean.
So far this season they are off to a 22-2 start so right in line with about 45-50 wins. He is 157-42 as the head coach at JMU so far since 2013. Tech is 120-80 since Dean took over at JMU.
Keep in mind the last time baseball was good was under Coach Hughes with players like Chad Pinder, Joe Mantiply, and Tyler Horan.
Can't imagine a good way to tell recruits you're going to spend a lot of their time in college teaching them specifically how to do something that won't get them anywhere in the NFL.
I started playing football in the 3rd grade. We had numbers. The end.
"LOLUVA - Invent the Roster"
... X 12
You act like Virginia Tech pulled in great baseball recruits all the time with Pete Hughes which is just not the case. His best years all came with a large senior class with a group of them all going on to play professional baseball.
Lets put some perspective on their record for this season at least if we are going to bring it up. Yes, they are 7-2 in ACC play. OOC they went 5-12. What was behind that kind of start? How about the 12 neutral game locations so far? and seven more on the road? 19 of 26 games away from Tech so far. Opponents in OOC include #1 Florida once, #2 Michigan three times, and #18 Minnesota twice. 6 of their 12 OOC losses to ranked teams. 3 more losses to P5 opponents.
The biggest thing to keep in mind is that the coach is essentially in year 2 of a total overhaul of the program because of graduations. There are four seniors this year, two juniors, seven sophomores, and seven freshmen. The top five hitters on this team this year are freshmen, four of them hitting over .300, only two of the Seniors are regular starters. Their best pinch hitter/bench player is also a freshmen who is also hitting over .300.
The pitching though is still a major concern. One senior having a pretty good season in Maggie Tyler but after that it drops off precipitously. The batting averages in conference are significantly higher in conference than out but the pitching remains the problem.
If he can identify even one or two quality pitchers the next year or two, he could easily have himself a NCAA competitive squad with the way the freshmen hit for this team
But if we turn off the containment...you don't know what you're doing!
They'll just Photoshop them in.
Wolff was always an odd fit as HC at Tech after coaching men, then operations for Tech men, and finally operations. I always found him very interesting because the women's game is so much different whether coaching, recruiting, style of play and he is someone who had to adjust. Was always very open about the differences and never got the impression he was 100% sure he was going to pull it off.
FYI - always got the impression he was 'no frills' hard@ss, but that is only from seeing him speak at various Tech functions over the years. Pretty intimidating guy in my opinion.
Wish him well and interested to see which direction he heads.
Just so I'm clear on this topic, Appalachian State is hot, hot... Hot?
Yeah well see what happens when demicheles old ass isn't on the roster anymore. The dude single handedly lost us the game and our keeper.
Not sure where to post this. But I just saw this car for sale on craigslist. I think it could tie in to best college town. Blacksburg inspired these people to make this car.

While I enjoyed the season of intramural Soccer I played, I feel obligated to post this:
I get what you're saying, but it's not a "bumping" foul, it's an interference foul. The whole premise of the rule is that the WR or DB is free from interference to get to the ball. Location of throw (besides uncatachable) and direction of running (both DB and WR) have no affect on the rule, and probably shouldn't. The only thing that matters is who making a play for the ball. If both are making a play for the ball, then no foul. If only one (wr or db) is making a play for the ball and the other interferes, then it is a foul.
....but....I don't understand.
