My office pool spent $130 (13 people at $10/each) and won a grand total of...$4. People were a bit disappointed.
I spent $20 and won $4...
The fact that the mannequin head in the video doesn't move on impact is critical. I'm not a trauma doctor, but it limits the number of impacts from one collision. The absorption philosophy spreads the impact so that the head doesn't receive the full force of the collision. Meanwhile, the standard helmet on the right is bouncing around causing multiplie impacts in one collision. The force of the impact is sent through the body. It reminds me a little if the safe barriers at NASCAR tracks.
could have been a make up call for the shot before that banked in.

# | Justin Fuente's New Staff Offers 2016 Prospects, Sets Visits with Signing Day Rapidly Approaching Durr looks like a good corner for Buds system with the way he attacks the run
That was an awful call. He did fake Bibbs out, but Bibbs blocked him 100.0% clean. The foul call was purely reactionary on the refs part

# | BUZZKETBALL CENTRAL: Wake Forest Demon Deacons (10-5, 1-2) at Virginia Tech Hokies (10-6, 2-1) 9 PM RSN/ESPN3 Before Miller-McIntyre banked in that 3, why were we not fouling them? I mean I understand not wanting to lengthen the game, but the only thing that could hurt us was a 3. Why give them the opportunity?

What about DJ Reid? I remembered hearing good things about him from the coaches when he and McMillian were getting a ton of work in the spring, but he quickly fell behind on the depth chart. Seems like he has a great blend of power and speed. Possibility of moving to another position of need (LB)? I'm sure we start to see some attrition at RB as we move towards spring.
Sounds like another guy I recall from years back

I assumed that's what Simms was referencing.

# | Justin Fuente's New Staff Offers 2016 Prospects, Sets Visits with Signing Day Rapidly Approaching Looking forward to reading it.
Five of our six losses are to tourney teams. If we take care of business and beat the teams we should beat (WF, BC, GT), pick up wins against Clemson and FSU, and then knock off one or two of the higher ends, the bubble may come calling.
.500 in ACC play would be a huge step, and an attainable goal considering the first 4.

# | What returning offensive ball handlers have the most to gain and most to lose under Fuente? He ran under a 5 second 40. I timed it during my time there. He just wasn't our typical running QB.
Yea 8-12 months is the norm, I don't see the point in trying to rush him back and open him up for reinjury(again) when we have McCelease, McKenzie, Edmunds, and McMillan coming back (not to mention Rogers and Peoples). As an aside lots of Mc's among our running backs
Yeah, Wake is going to win a lot of games. Thomas inside is a moose, we held him in check pretty well last night.

# | OT: New Flexible Football Helmet design to mitigate concussions The VT rating system is THE test for helmet makers nowadays. There are others out there, but the one from VT is widely regarded as the one to follow that includes no commercial bias.
Quick, someone tweet Berman that picture.
Quick semi-META question:
Can we put (and maintain) a table at the top of this thread that summarizes everything? 4 columns - Name, Position, high school and status (status = targeted, offered, committed, or signed)? We could also add columns for rating.
I like to know where we stand with recruiting, but there's no 'easy look-up' on TKP. For example, if I wanted to figure out how many LB's we're recruiting, and who they are, I'd have to search through a bunch of comments across different threads.
A year for ACL nowadays is towards the top end. As a victim of the ACLiens, I was out of commission for at least that long. BUT, that was 15 yrs ago, wasn't a D1 athlete and I didn't have the luxury of top-notch rehab, S&C professionals doing everything they can to get me back to playing strength. Hopefully, this isn't the case and he'll be ready to return to form!
ACL injury is normally a year, I don't remember where I saw that he will likely miss the first half of 2016
Whatever you do, don't let Berman know you were way down there, while he was was up there.
Agree! Durkin would be a good option too! I like that idea. Obviously, the idea is to get as many playmakers on the field as possible. We're looking at solid RB depth, so there's a concern that if 1 or 2 were to get hot, the others just kind of fade into the darkness unless there's an injury. If Durkin is the freakish athlete that his reputation suggests, he falls into the same category. Shoot, the bulk (practically all) of the QB talk has barely even mentioned him under center. He is only a rising r-Soph and he very well could be a guy that emerges in Fuente's system. So many wonderful possibilities, unknown, and what-ifs to ponder and look forward to this spring/summer/fall !!
Gearin' up for a "Mac-Attack"!
