They separate them into "sessions" meaning you get a ticket to enter the stadium and what ever games are scheduled for that session you have access too. In Greensboro it was a separate ticket per session.
apparently he wants to stay close to home, we are relatively close
Louisville has several NFL caliber players returning on D and a hot shot QB, assuming he stays healthy they could do well on the flip side they have to play Clemson, FSU, and Houston
Well done commenters!! Nothing wrong with a little crystal ball viewing. Being an eternal optimist, i really like our chances of putting a good year together. Hmmm, where is that J?

# | Coach Harbaugh having a sleepover with nation's top kicker Okay...how does he get into the kid's house and sleep on his floor during the dead period?
I am impressed with the evolution of a preseason ranking post into sub-thread about pet rocks.
Well done sir.
Recruiting is a little creepy isn't it? If a grown man was texting and requesting sleep overs with 17 and 18 year old kids and they weren't recruits I imagine the proper authorities would be notified.

# | What returning offensive ball handlers have the most to gain and most to lose under Fuente? Memphis ran the ball 563 times last year (55%), passed 465 times (45%). They ran 86 plays per game. Their leading rushers had 144, 87, 77 and 58 carries. Their leading receivers had 66, 47, 44, 27 and 19 catches. Memphis was sacked 17 times. Memphis gained 6.16 yards/play, averaged 4.1 yards per carry.
VT ran the ball 545 times last year (58%), passed 394 times (42%). We ran 78 plays per game.
Our leading rushers had 200, 61, 48 and 47 carries (removed Motley's 88 carries). Our leading receivers had 75, 49, 40, 21 and 16 catches. VT was sacked 34 times. VT gained 5.33 yards/play, averaged 3.8 yards per carry.
Not a lot of clear patterns. Maybe more even RB distribution. More plays per game would equal 50 yards per game in itself.
Doesn't the dead period only forbid face-to-face interaction?
As part of freshmen "orientation" (hazing) at Benedictine I was required to have a pet rock with a name and full backstory.
Correct - I am not old enough to remember, but I know of the craze through the legacy. Tamagachi's and pocket pets or whatever the heck they were called were the equivalent craze for our generation. I never owned one.
Like I told my wife this morning: Your odds go up exponentially by buying a ticket vs. not.
1. As usual, UVA is ranked way too high
A good metric for teams that should improve the next year is close losses
We proved this one wrong in 2013
A perspective. http://graphics.wsj.com/lottery-odds/
So you're saying there's a chance.
Yes it is!
A good metric for teams that should improve the next year is close losses. Louisville had a very rough schedule with close losses to Houston, FSU, and Clemson (and Auburn back when people thought they were good) and return like 96% of their offensive and defensive starters (iirc). If they played in the Coastal I think they would challenge for 10 wins and a championship game berth every year.
If I win, let's just say...

# | What returning offensive ball handlers have the most to gain and most to lose under Fuente? Historically, Fu throws a little more so there may be fewer carries overall. If Rogers can play H-back, that is a benefit to him. If McMillian can play some slot receiver, that is a benefit to him. Peoples may suffer unless he can move to tailback...where I'd like to see him regardless. RB's with the most patience and best instincts probably prevail.
I wonder if they watched Netflix and made popcorn...
Woah, a Vols fan! Guess we will be seeing more of y'all as the offseason progresses. Can't wait.
I believe that the dead period only prohibits coaches from initiating contact with a recruit. If the recruit calls/tweets/texts the coach, he is permitted to respond.
There's also the possibility that the entire conversation occurred before the dead period began and therefore no rules were broken. Harbaugh may be crazy, but I doubt he's dumb enough to engage in such an easily-caught recruiting violation in a highly visible way.
