# | Slept On It: Mourning the End of Virginia Tech's 2015 Football Season

I wish I could give you more legs for the research. However, my opinion hasn't changed. The defender targeted the head and neck of a defenseless player. I would consider him defenseless because he hadn't established himself as a runner yet. Similarly, if he had lost the ball, I think it would have been ruled an incomplete pass rather than a fumble.
If I'm in charge of making the rule, I would have a much more severe definition of targeting and defenseless. But if I was officiating that play under the current rules and emphasis, I'd make the same ruling.
The fact that you and I interpret it differently is proof that the rule sucks as written.
The FBI loves to hire lawyers especially ones that have a bachelors or other degree level in another field, accounting, computer science, even know a guy who majored in forestry and then went to law school then FBI.
Minor surgery? ;)
You ain't lion!
I don't know if Chase Williams was great or not before his senior year, primarily because a guy named Jack Tyler was in front of him, and he was busy being great.
Can someone post a tldr?

# | 2016 WR Tino Ellis Writes No Truth to Possible Decommitment I mean I'll put it this way...I was advising a 17-year-old girl last year about attending either UVa or Virginia Tech. She really wanted to go to vet school. I was trying to convince her to go to Virginia Tech because of A) the strength of the agricultural department and B) We actually have a vet school. She responded back "Well, you can major in anything you want to and go to vet school afterwards."
After a few weeks, she finally decided to attend VT over UVa but it took a lot of convincing that actually majoring in a subject field that will relate to your future endeavors is a smart idea. If Tino wants to go become an FBI agent or something to that effect, going to UMD and majoring in criminal justice isn't a bad way to go.
I always found it laughable that we were so high on him (Ford) -- we only got him because we got turned down by Cornwell, Park and Rudolph (if my memory serves me correctly).
It's like you said, every fanbase does this with every new recruit.
Let the boys compete and then I'll cheer for whoever wins the job.
He needs to come back to college. His type of football doesn't work in the NFL. He relies on his players being faster and more conditioned than his opponents and that doesn't happen in the NFL. He also seems to rub his players the wrong way too.
How do you post pics? I only see ways to do so using a URL. I have a great shirt pic I'd like to share & maybe find out how to get one.
Please beat them Sunday, Giants.
This is like an African Safari...scouting the Zebras! Love this type of stuff. Many thanks!
Tell me about it. I'd love to get a shot at officiating big-time college football, but the overall quality of officials coupled with the low turnover rate isn't exactly encouraging.
I agree; I'd love to be able to write a lot of positive but unfortunately I think it's more systemic. The ACC has a history of only turning over very few officials per year (per an interview by the ACC Football Officiating guru).
I'll refrain from making too many generalizations until I have more data to back it up, but I just don't see how the QI by the league office is impacting the on-field product.
Yeah they would. Which makes more sense to me than an unsportsmanlike 15 yarder. It's going to be incredibly difficult to get a kid to stop playing after his helmet comes off. Like I said, I completely understand its for player safety and all and it makes sense in principle but incredibly difficult to ask a kid to stop mid-play when its their natural instinct to keep going.
edit: Art Briles just made my point for me.
Happily, it was done about as perfectly as it could have been. The field judge had a close call on a hit that was high and hard - when in doubt, it is a foul. So we've got a flag down and we're gonna talk about it. Ok, now we're going up to the replay booth. Booth says it was a clean hit, no foul, carry on.
Chip Kelly just fired by Philly.

I would bet that this upcoming season will be it for Ford, his development is being noticed by NFL and he would be likely a 1st or 2nd round. If he is back it would be his choice to stay.
In a perfect world, it would have been flagged, but that's really tricky for the umpire to see. Even if that had been called, Oakman would have offset that foul with his own foul. No matter what, if your helmet comes off and you're not already in the act of tackling someone, you have to stop playing.
I smell obscurity drawing near...
I won't deny that.
Then they would offset right?
The only way to do it is via a URL. Upload to imgur.com and post the HTML they provide you (for websites and blogs).
