Sumlin has been fired? Not surprising, but I haven't seen that anywhere yet.

VTCPA | 10 years 6 months # | Buzz Williams Discusses Virginia Tech's 63-88 Loss to West Virginia

As I watch teams who play very aggressive defense with a lot of contact, I seem to always feel like the opposing team is always going to have the disadvantage. It very well might be my bias, but it seems to me that the refs don't want to have to call a foul every defensive possession for teams like WV, being that that is their style of play. It makes me think as I watch, they get away with a lot more of the contact fouls that by the new rules should be called. Is it just me, or are they truly playing without fouling because they know how to better anticipate player movement and have better hands?

Thanks for sharing. Really appreciated reading what his brother wrote. Goes to show you never know what anyone else is battling. Love one another always. Even those not lucky enough to bleed orange and maroon.

Cleats? In turf? Really?

I'll believe he's bigger than Motley when the VT heights & weights come out.

I've been itching for an opportunity to use that site, though I realize it comes off as a jerk response to your question. Thank you for taking it in good humor.

Thanks for the info as always. The announcers in the WVU game said that the cutoff was 10 games and Clarke was ineligible for the medical shirt since he has played in 11. But idk where they got that from, since it looks like it can vary.

I'm hoping that one game wouldn't screw him like that and they were just misinformed on the guidelines.

Happy for Shane although I wish he had gotten a shot at his first head coaching job somewhere.

Totally jealous of you for seeing Marvelous 3. Weirdly enough, I loved M3 but didn't really go to shows back then and then they broke up. Fast forward a couple years later and I randomly bought Butch's Letters album in the used $5 bin at the Record Exchange in Blacksburg one day. I spun the hell out of it without even knowing Butch was the singer for Marvelous 3. A year or so later when I made the connection my mind was blown. But yeah, I saw him on the Sycamore Meadows tour. Outstanding performer.

Maybe this thread should be closed, out of respect and all.

+1. Well said. RIP Phreak

Succinct | 10 years 6 months # | Chris Clarke Out Indefinitely with Foot Injury

I've had this injury (Jones fracture) on both feet, the right one when in my twenties, and my left one 25 years later. No surgery on the one in my twenties, took 12 weeks to be back in a regular shoe, and the doctor told me no sports for 6 weeks after that. The one that happened more recently screwed me up permanently: they did the surgery (inserted a screw to hold the bones together and injected bone graft material). About 4 weeks after being given the green light for PT (about 8 weeks post-op), I re-broke the bone, breaking the screw off in the bone. After that I was screwed, because it is difficult/traumatic to remove both broken screw pieces. It's an area of the foot that doesn't get much blood flow. I now have permanent nerve damage from scar tissue and after nearly a year of non-weight-bearing I could at least walk in regular shoes. Still have the broken screw in there, nearly 5 years later.

This is the same injury that sidelined Danny Coale in Dallas Cowboys training camp.

My points are: 1) it's a tough injury but the younger you are the easier / better your recovery, and 2) everyone is different so it's difficult to predict exactly when he can play again; basketball is very stressful on that 5th metatarsal. At least 8 to 12 weeks post-op is a reasonable expectation.
