And putting butts in the seats makes the money men happy.

To me, that makes about as much sense as saying, "hey, the more completions that QB throws, the less we should pressure him...he's due for an INT any minute now."

Most misses in the game are because D forces the shot to be somewhat altered, or under pressure. If you're a shooter, you will hit the vast majority of open shots your opponent gives you.

Oh, no doubt. I originally had a little hesitance about them moving Kuzy back to the 2nd line when Backstrom was back because I liked having guaranteed two line depth. That's obviously not an issue anymore. Ovechkin is a scoring machine but Kuzy can make the puck just dance and it's absolutely incredible. I mean, come on.. who else can make this look so efforless?

Beamer didn't just do house calls, he did hospital calls with Macho Harris after he saved his family's home and his siblings by putting out a grease fire that left him with third degree burns. I can remember hearing other stories of similar trips for recruits that got significant injuries during games and were laid up. Did his house visits slow down in the last couple of years? That's entirely possible but they didn't cease to happen.

Am I a bad Hokie for not knowing who Justin Harper is?

Also, didn't know there was a Virginia State University.

Go Caps!!

I'd expect a formal apology from the Prime Minister.

I would rather he make this decision now so that the coaches have time to go out and evaluate their other options than if he had taken us up to signing day and left us at the altar. The whole system is a sham - See Michigan, which just forced out several recruits that had been committed long term. That kind of thing goes on to one level or another throughout every level of schools. What if we get that kid from ODU? ODU will go down to offer someone that was probably slated to go to another school one level down, eventually effecting the lowest level school the most.

The other key is we are talking about kids. Kids that aren't just making a decision on where are they getting the best degree. Almost every kid at the D1 level has aspirations of the NFL at least coming out of high school, so if they think there is a place that is going to give them a step up in pursuit of that goal than I have no problem with them changing their mind until they are signed on the bottom line, and even then in some instances sited above I would prefer to see the NCAA grant flexibility.

Imagine if Frank had waited until 10 March to announce he wasn't coming back next year? How would you feel if you were one of those recruits? We all love Tech and Tech football, but Beamer played a huge part in that, all those happy experiences because we were winning lots of games. Recruits feel the same way and then the rug would have been out from under them if the coaching staff completely changed. They are effected in a way most of us cant appreciate. What if you were a player in the secondary and lost Torrian Gray as your coach? I would be furious that I couldn't follow Gray to wherever he landed without sacrificing a year of sitting out from football to get there if I was even allowed to go there depending on the transfer rules.

Just my thoughts. Yes there probably needs to be a better word than Commitment involved but until major changes are conducted, we are stuck with the verbiage more than likely.

Maybe because, contrary to popular belief, he doesn't actually suck as a recruiter.

What will Canadiens do when no teams from Canada make the playoffs?

I'm gonna be that guy. You're looking at a spread of 14 months between kids by the same mom (excluding twins, for now). Assuming the oldest redshirted and the youngest played as a freshmen, you're looking at 4 kids per fuller on the team at any one time. That's 16 overall. So you'd need at least 6 pairs of twins to make that number high enough to start all Fullers on both sides of the ball. 5+ kids in 5 years for each mama fuller 2.0. I would not wish that on anyone.

of course, if there were 11 Fuller progeny that could play both sides of the ball for an entire football game, this get a lot easier.

Alternatively, if they all joined some polygamist cult, it would be much easier to crank out 22 D1 college football players.

I also gotta ask, what kind of woman would a Fuller have to marry to produce OL sized children? I mean, they're athletic and all, but we're talking about 2 corners, a reciever, and a safety. The kid would outweigh his dad by 110 pounds.

I really miss calzones at the Cellar...ricotta with pepperoni...I always try to get up there once during the summer just to get a calzone.
