Brand spanking new process, The NWCA has created a Bowl-like system, where Conference champions and the top at large bid wrestle the top teams in the B1G. Tech will clinch the ACC with a win. If they lose, its a toss up between VT and Oklahoma as the at large bid.

oooooh are we doing more Game of Thrones gifs?
While I personally don't think that Motley will be the starter come this Fall it seems you have fallen prey to the Shiny New Toy Syndrome that so many fans struggle with. Am I satisfied with .500 seasons? No, but your obvious flaw is this blanket assumption that Evans/Lawson will automatically be head and shoulders above Motley with no real reliable reasons to give such certain affirmation. To be honest I don't care if it's Motley or if it's Click, I just want the best man out there.
It's not about being afraid of change and it's not about blindly invoking "changes and risks" simply because we are unsatisfied with where we are. It's about evaluating everything and everyone objectively, changing what has to be changed and keeping the same what needs to be kept the same, and being the best program we have the potential to be. I'm not going to write anyone off until it has been proven that they are not the best man for the job.
No, quite the contrary. We can't really count them as a win. The spring game is technically more impressive of a victory.
the winner wins the ACC and likely gets the championship/1st consolation Bowl matchup
What exactly does this mean? I tried looking up how the post season works but am still a little confused
They updated some of the effects lighting as well as the sound. The upgrade meant that national TV would be more likely to attend and televise programs. Out old lights took up to 15 minutes to boot up IIRC should there be a power blip. New ones are just like the lights in your bathroom.
I think you're seriously misguided. I don't think Motley will win the starting job. I never said that. I just don't think it's fair to write him off. As it was noted above, he struggled with progressions. Based on some hints I've seen from French it appears that Fuente's offense uses a lot of single-read pass plays which takes progressions out of the equation. If Fuente can slow the game down for Motley there is a chance for him to compete with the other talents.
If you think I'm arguing with you just to argue I will not continue this discussion. I don't think it is fair to write off any of the contenders at the moment. Is it likely that Motley wins the job? No, probably not. Is it accurate to say he has no shot? No, absolutely not. We just don't know.
Dear God. One asshole joke about a quarterback and a message board argument pursues.
I thought Beamer wanted us to not get so divided?
Last I checked, Motley is the starter and Evans and Lawson have the allure of the backup (highly touted prospects, why not kind of attitude). Sooo I have to ask, were you a Leal truther?
I understand what they meant. Football reigns supreme. It doesn't bother me very much.
plot twist. That's actually a baby boy.
I definitely would not say Motley has no chance and write him off, but I would be lying if I didn't say I think the odds are against him. I think for him to win the starting job, he will have to be unquestionably the best option we have at QB (like Brewer was the past two seasons). Not impossible, but with a new staff and system being an equalizer of sorts in the competition, and Motley having no real edge from a physical perspective on the others, he is going to have to prove it. If it's close, you would think the coaches would go with the younger option with more eligibility to build around for more than just this season. Motley has more D1 playing experience, but his best performances last year were against Furman and Purdue. He still seemed to struggle with progressions and was a bit hesitant at times throwing, leading to a lot of almost interceptions and pass breakups.
We will see how much he can improve under the new system. He has a shot, but Fuente is going to pick the best QB. He needs to prove he is just that on the field.
Interesting discussion over there. Really liked that the guy who came and watched the duals in the Moss Arts Center last year was really impressed. More than a first class experience were his words.
I think that may have been Morgan Burnette
I think you're the one uncomfortable. You seem uncomfortable that Motley could win the job. I trust the coaches, regardless who they pick. You trust the recruiting rankings. Its that simple.
Pack Pride having that debate as we speak:

HUGE loss...
- Shot 39% from 3 last year after a slow start so he was REALLY good in league play. Buzz mentioned that he didn't think he'd be that good from 3.
- Brought great energy- was a little out of control at times ala Clarke and Allen
- Great defender
- Second best rebounder last year 3.7/ gm
Forget about the curve ball ricky. Give him the heater!!
I wasn't sure if the Brewer example applied here, since he was only 3 years into the program. If I understand the process correctly, a scholarship can be either a 1-year renewable deal, or a 4-year deal. If he had agreed to a 4-year offer, I could see where the school would have the ability to decline to release him from that agreement after 3 years. I couldn't figure out if it's a different situation when a player has completed 4 years, essentially making him a free agent.

# | ACC Title on the line, #8 VT goes on the Road to face #3 NCSU Friday 7pm That seems like an awfully small venue for a dual of national importance. You'd think they'd at least consider moving it to the basketball arena like we usually do. It doesn't look like either basketball team is playing on Friday. In a non-revenue sport, you'd hate to have to turn away fans who actually want to come watch.
Think i hit it but im too lazy as well. The first sudden victory period starts on their feet in neutral. If neither wrestler scores, they go to what are referred to as "Rideouts". Basically each wrestler gets to choose their preferred position (99.9% of the time its bottom) and they have 30 seconds to escape. Each wrestler gets a turn on bottom.
If neither wrestler has built a lead after rideouts, they go to SV2, then rideouts 2, repeating the whole process.
I don't think they will be released until the project becomes official and the fundraising efforts begin.
Eh, they can brag about that all they want. I'm not saying widespread athletic department success isn't good or important, but I wonder how many of the UVa fans that brag about all these national titles in non-revenue sports ACTUALLY show up and follow lacrosse, tennis, rowing, soccer, etc. Further, I also wonder how many of these hardcore UVa basketball and baseball fans that have come out of the woodwork now were actually so hardcore more than three years ago before they gained any national relevancy.
Yeah, they can talk all they want about the national titles. But you know good and well it bothers them that a university having so much success overall in sports is completely clueless and hapless in college athletics' biggest and highest revenue earning sport.
Dad pushed her. Not. Good.
