French what is your feelings about the kid out of Rockbridge that is no longer with the team. I see you didn't have him listed very high to contribute this year and maybe you knew something we didn't.
Speculation vs Reality?
I don't think most people here aren't used to Panthers fans. Hell it was only like 38% support in a poll 2 years ago in NC so it's not surprising that people question it here.
I earned this shit man I cheered for Chris Weinke

With the amount of talent this team has I would be very disappointed in a 5 win season. But I don't think the fanbases opinion really matters all that much, only Whit's does.
Anyone watching the live stream news conference? I can't at work. Speculation is the girl will be charged with murder. Appreciate any updates! On another note, let's remember those LEO's working this case, including my husband's brothers, which are my brothers. Continued prayers for all who loved Nicole.
The Bucs don't play at the mini dome anymore?
Rankings are more accurate for some positions than others. Offensive line being one of the more difficult ones to forecast, Pridgeon and NIjman being good examples of kids who were unranked coming out of high school that turned into highly touted recruits.
With a two three year old and another on the way, easy aisle access is critical for trips to the potty. If I take the aisle, you don't need to move when they need to go in the middle of that long touchdown drive. Plus, I can usually get a little more leg room by sticking a knee/foot out onto the steps. I'm not a huge fan of letting people in and out during play. Not all of the fanbase is as considerate as you are about staying put until the clock strikes 0:00.
That was a brand new account that just began tweeting. It may be someone trolling. I wouldn't put it past certain people to take sabotaging a program into their own hands.
I'm just curious but why do we have two threads for this?
I now live in DC and everyone thinks I'm a tool for rocking my gear
that's interesting. I've gotten the impression that DC is such a melting pot and overloaded with transplants that there wouldn't be much hostility towards other teams' fans...maybe just me though..I don't walk around in pro gear so I'm not subjected to the same scrutiny you probably get
Well put, and obviously there are plenty of other teams/coaches that have followed that same trend...
I can only imagine how nervous Clemson fans were at this point
However it's this kind of trend that scares me. Obviously here in TKP community we have more educated, rational fans but I'm nervous about how the average fans are going to react. More specifically I'm very nervous as to how the fanbase is going to react if combined with a lower than average recruiting class we don't see improvement in year one. Given the massive amount of question marks going into this coming year I could see a 5 win season just as easy as I could see an 8-9 win season. I hate to even talk like this but how will people react if we start the season with a 2 1/2 score loss to a very good UT team and then struggle through some close games to conclude a 5 win season? This definitely falls on the low end of my expectations (6-7 wins is probably more rational) but I cringe to think of the reactions from the fanbase if this very plausible scenario materializes.
This is what I've been saying the ENTIRE time!
Hard to say, but I know several former student athletes (none in football, and none Hokies) who came to feel like they were missing out on a lot of the college experience, sacrificing their grades, and working much harder than most students, to tear up their bodies for life, in a sport in which they were not going to be able go pro. If you can't answer the questions "why" for yourself it becomes much harder and less enjoyable to put in the time and effort to compete at the college level.
Oh yea I forgot about the flood of "Panthers fans" that have shown up this year.
I was born in Winston-Salem and grew up in Charlotte, never have I seen us as a bandwagon team until this team and it's annoying. I now live in DC and everyone thinks I'm a tool for rocking my gear.
Replying to a comment can be done to further an idea, not just to reply to the original thought. I took Fireman's response to your original comment as him branching off from the proof you posted that Austin will still be attending classes, and addressing the TKP community at large on a broader point.
Good Luck Austin, Get that degree..Education is for life
...with 5% battery
Can I just say that I am a big fan of the middle of the section seats? Nothing makes me madder than letting people out during a play and then missing it.
When I was little we walked 5 miles uphill to Lane and my father never let us leave our seats unless the stadium was being evacuated.
Or perhaps also the most overrated former OL prospect...
And I don't mean that as slight to the kid (Stacey Searels said good things about him to me personally) but rather the slavish devotion of expectations (like those who had him penciled in for the '15 starting lineup this time a year ago) that many show to recruiting ratings and rankings of HS kids that have never participated in a college practice, let alone a game.
While I agree and would be disappointed if this happened, with basically the same amount of talent this year we were only a few plays away from 5 wins on one side and 7-8 on the other.
