If this team could make half the open looks they get, they would be so good.... but man, when the shooting isn't there, the offense gets ugly.
I mean.... we missed a dunk last night. Missed. A. Dunk.
I pray that our program never reaches the point where we would rather cheat to win than do it the right way, the BEAMER way. Cheaters never win.
Players are still free to gather on their own accord and run routes, work on timing, and practice throwing and catching together. Chemistry even in the weight room can help as well. It's possible, given some reports from the Fall, that Lawson's maturity issues (I believe that's what people were saying was an issue) has been resolved and he's fully committed to the team and being the starter. Who knows, but the players are fully capable of doing far more than just lifting and it's likely that those who are starters or want to be a starter are doing everything they can to be better. That's how Isaiah became our first 1,000 yard receiver. He put in the work not only in the weight room but on the field with other players to improve his game in the off-season.
If I understand it correctly, that's not how Title IX works. Title IX seeks to balance all opportunities, meaning scholarships. And football takes up 85 men's scholarships. To make up for football, there is significant imbalance between scholarships for similar sports. Women's golf probably has 10 girls on full rides whereas Men's golf probably has 3 boys on full rides and 8 boys on half rides.
To start a fencing team, they would want to give a full team of full ride to the women with some partials to the men.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's my understanding of how Title IX impacts college scholarships.
Boy, Southern Miss is going to get hammered because of this....
His attitude and maturity towards the team and his potential role this year is what I meant by turning the corner.
If the past is any indication, this will be a joke of an investigation. I hope it's not. I hope they finally do the right thing.
But they will most likely let the public forget about it and then they will address it with three sentences on ESPN BottomLine a year from now.
Not asking for his sources. Just asking in what ways has he turned the corner. If it's that he's gained 5 lbs of muscle or not puking anymore conditioning that would make sense because that's about all they are doing right now.
All I will say is, the #sauses I do have are pretty close to the situation and are highly dependable. But I typically only seek out information once in a while to not ruin a relationship or seem obnoxious. 90% of the information I get is right but since things has been quickly changed in the past a few times I give it the #sauses tag.
On a side note: when I do #sauses then I typically know what I am talking about but since it isn't quoted or straight from the staff I respectfully #sause that shit.
Understood that, but they are running and lifting right now not playing football. If he's doing something that shows he learned the playbook, can read defenses and go through his progressions that isn't happening until the spring. That what be turning the corner.
I heard they will be forced to vacate their McNugget sauce usage from 2007-2009.
Sure... they've already eaten and enjoyed all of that delicious sauce (extra lbs to prove it), but they no longer get to recall those fond experiences in an official manner recognized by the NCAA. Deal with that harsh reality - cheaters!
...oh...but you're totally in the clear for future McNugget sauces...
Coach Voldemort got me thinking, who would be Voldemort in the coaching landscape? I went to Google images to find this out. The runaway winner was absolutely Bo Pelini:
Second place was amusingly David Platt, former coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers:
Absolutely. And though the Hokies were steamrolled on Tuesday night, things could get even more exciting as these two programs move forward.
YES.
UVa loses: Gill, Brogdon, Tobey, and Nolte. I believe Bennett goes home to Wisconsin after this year, and with his support cast gone, Perrantes leaves for the NBA (he's good enough). UVA has no point guard or post experience returning. They will be relying on freshman (yes, they're highly rated, but freshman).
We will smoke them next year.
I agree that they are all new to the system so in that regard they are all equal.
part of the difference could be talent vs eligibility/future. based on what fuente did at memphis (picking the younger player who is roughly equal and maybe lesser in talent to develop him) it would seem that motley has to be head and shoulders above the competition in order to be picked as the starter. I don't think it's impossible, just seems like based on Fuente's past decisions it would be harder for Motley.
I know everyone likes to jump on the SEC at every opportunity, and any upswing in recruiting is a clear indication (to most people) that something illegal is involved, but I have never heard anything but glowing reviews about Hugh Freeze's character and impact on the players in his program. That said, I am curious to see what comes out from this stuff.
Voldemort
That was the worst charging call I've seen in a long long time
We got beat bad last night but Clarke was a nice boost. Is it just me but is college refereeing set up to benefit teams in the top 10 at home. It's really obvious watching away games for the Hokies or any other team that is the visiting team against a top 10 team. It's almost a given it will be one sided. The ACC is really bad but I watch more of those games and notice it more. The fouls may not be off in total but just the overall timing of fouls called seems to really hurt teams starting to get in a flow or a player approach to the game through out.
Edit: I speak better pig latin
I try not to get too caught up in the whole #sauces thing. I take everything with a grain of salt.
Yea no kidding.
I remember during the coaching search when at different points people's #sauces had confirmed our new coach to be Fuente/Herman/Richt/Morris/Voldemort/Sumlin/Whoever the coach of the day was.
Finally!! About time the NCAA stepped up to the plate!!
Honestly though, I'd be surprised if they don't find a way to still get those mcnuggest sauces.
This is a bit off topic for the thread, but I don't like the restrictions that coaches can put on kids. The kids should either have to pay the price of 1 year no participation OR coach can restrict where they go, but not both.
That's an interesting perspective. If you're saying that
At this point there's a clean slate since no one has run Fuentes offense before
and
New coach, new start, new qb
doesn't that kind of contradict the idea that
There's no way Lawson and Evans will be behind Motley on the depth chart.
?
One would think that, with a clean slate, new coach, fresh start, etc. etc. the players all start on the same level. I think by definition that would mean that all 4(5?) of the QB prospects have an equal shot at being the starter in the Fall. Whether or not he capitalizes on his opportunity is up for debate. I'm not ready to say he doesn't have a chance.
You do realize that Motley had almost identical stats to Brewer last year, without the help of the running back rotation being solved yet? I mean, other than the Pitt game where do you see a sub par QB? Miami maybe?
There's no way Lawson and Evans will be behind Motley on the depth chart.
Except, you know, last fall's depth chart and every depth chart since then.
Sanctions handed down today include loss of mcnugget sauce privileges for one week, two nights of no ice cream before bed, and a reduction of xbox hours per day from eight to seven.
They might fall flat on their face with this auction starting at $500. Only a handful of bids in so far...
