By year 3/4 being consistently in the top 25 would have me perfectly happy. As long as the CFP is 4 teams its going to be extremely difficult to get in. Undefeated Win the ACC kind of season. A new years six bowl should be the goal by year 4. Don't get me wrong I'm on the hype train 
and I believe that Fuente has a real chance of getting us into the ACCCG in the next year or two based only on the extreme parity in the coastal division. Not to mention many of our losses this year were games that came down to a few plays at the end.
CoC is designed to be a sales funnel. No need to buy anything until TH7 or later. TH8 was the first level I really noticed the impact of doubled costs and build times. At TH9 the funnel is pretty narrow - either gem farming to keep up with the upgrade pace or check out.
I know players who spend hundreds monthly on building, upgrading and research. I've spent maybe 50 bucks over the past year.
My concern with Buzz' statement regarding schedule is that most rankings have our SOS north of 300 out of 351 teams. To me, that's a year 1 schedule for a mid-major rebuilding. It also goes to show how much work Buzz has cut out for him though.

# | Discussion: Will the outcome of the Independence Bowl have any lasting effect on you? 280 sounds a lot better than 279.
Like with so many things in his career, Beamer handled his retirement in the right way. He announced before the end of the season, and gave VT the opportunity to attract Justin Fuente as the new football coach. Once again, he put VT football first. It also made the end of the season a celebration of Beamer's career, even if that wasn't his intent or expectation.
I'm glad to see he's getting some positive media treatment.

I just want the button that's worth -10,000 to actually be labeled "The Nuclear Option"

# | Discussion: Will the outcome of the Independence Bowl have any lasting effect on you? Yes, it definitely means something to me. If we lose, we would've lost to Tulsa, and no disrespect to them but they don't have any business beating us. We lose Beamer's last game. We have a losing season. People will say 'this is why Beamer is retiring, he's never able to win these bowl games when they matter'. Sure, at the end of it all it doesn't really matter in the sense that we're cleaning up shop, but I won't forget if we lose Beamer's last game to a team that, on paper, is much inferior to us.

# | Discussion: Will the outcome of the Independence Bowl have any lasting effect on you? Well...let's put it this way.
First, I'll be watching the Hokies...then I'll switch over to watch the Redskins attempt to make a playoff spot.
And it's all on my birthday.
So I want wins all around.

I still think there need to be two separate functions; the ability to hit a really bad comment and blur it is important (e.g. NSFW pictures where -10 works), and that should be separate from nuking someone's account.

# | Bryan Stinespring interviewed for Tennessee Tech Head Coaching job For a second, I thought there was a serious chance he'd be coaching the Vols in Bristol...
Oh well
If you are a punter and are good enough to make the Army All American Bowl, there is probably a pretty good chance of you winning the Ray Guy award at least once in your college career.

I think, ultimately, only he should have the permanent one-click insta-ban power, but it might be useful for me to have a quickly clickable "suspend" account
That would basically be the effect of setting your downvote value to an obscenely high number, right? You'd temporarily cripple an offender's account by sending him below -50 legs, but could instantly retract it by resetting your vote on the offending comment, right?
AWESOME SAUCE

# | Bryan Stinespring interviewed for Tennessee Tech Head Coaching job I wish him nothing but the best. Lest we forget, his love of VT and loyalty to the program and Frank Beamer allowed him to swallow his pride, accept a demotion and still work hard for his successor. That is really hard on a person and showed his good character. I hope he gets the job. Good Luck Coach Stinespring.

# | Discussion: Will the outcome of the Independence Bowl have any lasting effect on you? Excellent point. Even if I personally won't carry any angst from a loss in Shreveport into 2016, at the start of next season the narrative we be our first losing season in 23 years.

# | Discussion: Will the outcome of the Independence Bowl have any lasting effect on you? Sweet sheeba, how can you transition from bourbon to scotch? Don't get me wrong, I love both, but I stick with one when I drink. The tastes just don't mesh.
Then again, that might have something to do with the fact I mostly drink Islay scotch.
Fantastic article! Got me all in tears again over our beloved ball coach....it's been said over and over and over again...but one last time. Thank you Frank, we will miss you!!!
I'm not a big fan of the update. I am at TH9 and it makes it very difficult to save up. Part of the update was to allow a higher % of resources available for the raider I believe. I lost 300k elixer when I only had 1.8m. It is nearly impossible to save enough to research stuff. I doubt they will change it because people will buy more gems for the extra resources and stuff like that. I haven't spent a penny on the game and enjoy it. I also have quite a bit of sex with my woman who also plays CoC.
Biggest question I had! Rey had no idea or training with the force but all of a sudden she can move sabers with her mind, mind trick enemies, and beat a semi trained Jedi's ass. I know Luke was a great Jedi but damn he couldn't do that crap right away. Her mom has to have some help in Rey's strong abilities.
