False steps, they'll get after ya.

I do agree however, I'm not sure if Vance Vice is better than Searels as an O-line coach. But I do understand in order to implement his scheme, Fuente had to bring in Vice.

Hokie Club membership gives you priority for purchasing season tickets. Basically you get first dibs over a non-member when it comes time to order tickets for a particular season. Within the Hokie Club the priority or selection order comes from priority points. Most of your points comes from your giving level (O&M, Bronze, Golden, etc) and then from your length of continuously donating. Sometimes other things earn you extra priority points, like continuously buying tickets, buying tickets to sports other than football and that kind of thing.

Your 2015 donations set your priority ranking for 2016 season tickets.

I didn't really think of it that way but you guys seem to be right. His lightsaber is more in the design of a Broadsword (Braveheart style), whereas most lightsabers we've seen are more of a Rapier design (Musketeer style). It does appear that his style of lightsaber reflects his fighting capabilities and that he isn't a very skilled swordsman.

I saw it mentioned somewhere in this thread, but I really hope that Rey ends up with a dual bladed lightsaber. She was using some sort of "space bo staff" in the beginning of the movie, so it just seems right. Plus if you couldn't already tell, I'm a big fan of Darth Maul and I would like to see some variation of his weapon again.

Here is my opinion:
On the subject of incoming coaches, I think Brad Cornelsen will the OC and play-caller and on-paper also named the QB coach but I think Fuente will really be the QB coach in many aspects. I think Fuente will be putting his stamp on the offensive game plan and off-course as the head coach will be in on the loop for defense as well.
I don't think there is any guarantee that Galen Scott will be he LB coach. I believe Cornell Brown was coaching the Rover and Whip while Bud was coaching the Mike LB and the Backer positions. One possibility is that Shane could be kept on the staff as a Rover/Whip Coach along with being a Recruiting coordinator. This would make sense since he has done a similar role in the past at Mississippi State.

Before addressing the potential places for our old coaches, I'm looking at the open FBS coaching positions for Assistants and there isn't a whole lot open. Here is the link

Lefty – I believe Lefty had a real good reputation as a position coach (QB) but as an OC, he's only had one good, solid season at Temple. I think if he were to be in a position to be an OC at a slightly lower-level school (Non-Power 5) for a little bit, I think he could really build himself up. There aren't a whole lot of OC positions available (A few in the west, Duke, Pitt, Cincinnati, LA-Lafayette, Arkansas St), I think he would dominate in the Sunbelt, but I think if he were to go to Cincinnati it would be a good fit working with an experienced coach, AAC is a solid conference, good mid-western ties and a chance to be in a stable position. I think Duke and Pitt will be a little hard for him to get into at the moment considering his time at VT wasn't exactly the best but never say never. I do believe that Lefty is a solid football mind, I do still question some of the play calling but overall he is a good OC.

Searels – I believe he will be a Power-5 O-line coach, Arkansas has an opening and jumps out to me right now.

S. Beamer – I think for Shane to get a head coaching position, his best bet would be to become a Special teams coach, he was pretty much running the special teams anyway and it'll give him perspective from both sides of the ball. If it were right now and he really wanted to become a head coach, I'd say take the FCS route and hopefully get into FBS in 3 years, but even there a whole lot of jobs aren't open. I do see that the Colorado Special-teams coordinator position is open but I just don't see him in the Mountain West but who knows. I think he'll be coaching in some capacity in 2016. He has good contacts in the SEC, even a school like Vanderbilt for running backs coach is a possibility.

Stiney – I think he can still be an O-line coach or even an offensive coordinator perhaps at a slightly lower level FBS School. But the head coaching possibility at Tenn-Tech is really intriguing and I hope he gets it.
Brown – I really felt for Brown after hearing about him being let go. He was one of my favorite players my freshmen year in 1995. I think he should be a D-line coach considering his playing position and he was the assistant D-line coach here and D-line coach in NFL Europe. I'm not sure where he'll end up but Army, Purdue and Texas Tech do have D-Line positions open, I think he could coach any of those teams D-Lines.

TV for football, tablet/laptop for basketball. If things get ugly for Buzz, having it on a smaller screen will hopefully make it hurt less.

That's the way to do it.

I just joined this morning. Started at the base Hokie level for this year, but the direction of the FB program and leadership of the Athletic Department and Whit motivated me to get involved in some way. Next year I'd like to try to move up to at least one level.

So apparently there is a book now?

Have you seen this, Have you heard about this?

But I read this pretty cool story on Mashable that has some backstory to some of the questions, maybe if they stick to the book some answers for the next movies. Mashable Article of Book Answers

is Trubisky as mobile as Williams? From what I saw last night and out game against them, it seems that a lot of the good plays they had led from Williams scrambling to find an open receiver, or just taking it up the field himself. Could be wrong, but if hes not as mobile and limited more to the pocket it could be much different.

Fournette is easily the best back in college football. It will show in the NFL. Not a knock on others.
