I say football is football and if you are a college football fan than what else would you rather watch. I get to sit in front of a TV with my 12 year old and break down defenses and offenses as they play!
They're engineers, ya know? They've figured it out.
My #sauces are telling me that Lawson is struggling academically. Maybe the coaches knew this, and it played into his playing time as well. Hopefully it is not an issue moving forward. I hope this isn't true, but if it is, I hope he gets to work and straightens it out. I'm rooting for him, as is most everyone else.
Glennon was the 2007 ACCCG MVP. Tyrod wasn't injured in that game- they rotated a bit throughout, but the passing game with Glennon was just more effective.
Because the recent explosion of bowl games has only started not even a decade ago. Over the next decade or so that number will be almost meaningless since the number of bowls keeps growing. Hell, there are 3 new ones coming in 2016.
We got good in the 90s on the tail end of when it was an accomplishment to get to bowls and it transitioned into the period where you basically have to have a pulse to get to one. I'm sure that in the 2020s there will be few teams that don't have a double digit bowl streak.
The bowls give schools more practice time. That practice time lets younger guys get some more reps before spring practice begins. ANY practice is GOOD practice!
and last year...and in 2012.
I was basing on Cornelson, Scott and Burden completing the nine needed.
TE and QB are interchangeable.....
Great Scott these puns are fantasic
Don't have the exact quote in front of me, but didn't Burden say he wanted to have 10 receivers ready to go?
The lack of rotation was probably due to the lack of options behind the top two established receivers.
Rumor has it that when asked about who he would bring in for his staff the "platoon coaching" proposal he's been pushing hasn't gone over well in interviews. The idea is seen as too radical for many ADs. I hope he gets his shot eventually but it's going to take a progressive, forward thinking AD who will buy into his coaching style. It could be a while before he lands a gig but he's willing to play the waiting game.
So why don't more teams have longer bowl streaks?
Coaching search reporting that the FayEtteville Observer states that lil Beams is no longer in the running for ECU.
Lol, I love when people make sweeping comments on society being too coddled. Its just football bro, give the kids more practice and a vacation for some fun.
It's time to let go of the old and in with the new.
and
loved the ones [helmets] we wore at UVA. I wish we wore those lids every game.

# | Report: Zohn Burden Retained as Virginia Tech's Running Backs Coach This is outstanding news. I was really hoping we retained Burden. I'm so damn excited about our program I can't stand it
I completely understand this line of thinking and agree with it.
Given that it's CFB's swansong, I'm glad we're in a bowl. Yes, I'll watch. Otherwise, yes I'd rather see our season be over. For the past few seasons the extra practice hasn't helped, the streak means less now than it once did. The streak used to mean you had a tradition of winning. Now it just means you weren't a loser, (unless there aren't enough non-losers to qualify for all the bowl slots). There's something to be said for sitting at home during the post season.
This would be less stringent than the old system of 8W's, but it at lest demands you to be above avg.
That's not just the coolest. That's not just the best. It is JUSTIN CREDIBLE.
I know you're joking....but...how many WRs did we see this year? Not much rotation there at all. I don't think we'll see much of a rotation from Burden.

# | ACC ADs vote to make 7 wins the minimum for bowl eligibility You, sir. Today, I agree....with you.
Maryland has their own problems securing their backyard from Larry Johnson and Ohio State/Randy Franklin and Penn State

# | Report: Zohn Burden Retained as Virginia Tech's Running Backs Coach Yeah, yeah, that's great and all but what's his stance on running backs by committee?
Off the top of my head I can name two teams that should easily have gotten to a bowl game using that logic, GT and Texas yet they are sitting at home.
