Staff is not compete as far as I know.

The font choices are reminiscent of a 10-year-old being shown PowerPoint for the first time. WordArt does not make everything better!

This is a burden that we're willing to bear!

...I'll see myself out after that one.

This sounds good as a headline, but if you think about it, to me all that this means is that teams will be much less likely to schedule difficult out of conference games.

For example this year, we already got penalized for playing a tough out of conference schedule (if we just scheduled and ODU instead of Ohio State or ECU, we would be in the Belk Bowl instead of NC State). NC State was rewarded with a much better bowl game than us even though we beat them and they played Troy, Eastern Kentucky, ODU and South Alabama. We played 2 big ten teams and ECU, and because we lost 2 of those we get relegated to a tier 3 bowl game.

I agree with the people above that say we should address conference scheduling first, and if we are really going to the 7 win , we should address strength of OOC scheduling as well.

So I posted this on the "Fuente Staff" thread but now it's a little more appropriate here...

Ok so here's my theory.

CJF arrives and he is either unsure of Burden at first or he just plans to wait to announce Burden for whatever reason. There's one problem. We have a huge class of WR's committed with more that we're still going after and we have no WR's coach in place. To address the issue CJF goes ahead and names Wiggins the WR's coach for recruiting purposes even if that's not where he was going to stay.

Now this may be a long shot but I'm predicting that here in the near future Wiggins and Burden flip roles as to better suit their collective experience (unless Burden has RB experience I don't know about).

Disclaimer: I'm probably just a complete crackpot but if I'm right then I claim #sauce status (as we learned with the coaching search anyone can be a #sauce no matter what they claim).

They might be the perfect American family. Scout is unbelievably cute.

Sexy.

And UVA just lost arguably their best 757 recruiter, Chris Beatty, to Syracuse. I like this move a lot.

French, as I told you, we struck out eeling for the big mommas yesterday, managing only a couple of "lukewarm" bites and one spiny dogfish, but the mouth of the Rappahannock was alive with birds and schoolies yesterday. On Wednesday, we jigged up 40-45 schoolies up to about 22" on bucktails and jigging spoons near the Rt. 3 bridge in less than four hours of fishing. While some captains on the radio were reporting fish up to maybe 32", most were complaining about numbers of 10" fish. One guy said there were so many around his boat that he wished he had a fly rod, but when another guy came on and said he had a fly rod on board and asked where those fish were, the radio stayed dead silent. I'd say that 95%+ of the boats out there are trolling, but jigging can not only be more fun, but sometimes more productive. While we caught some of those little fish jigging, most of our fish were over 16" and we had a good number of keepers, had we been keeping. My friend, Dave, is out eeling again today with his brother, so we may get a hero shot from him. He's consistently productive with 40+lb fish every year, and most trips except when I go with him. I'm starting to entertain a notion that I may be a jinx with eels, but I won't dwell on that notion.

Running backs coach eh? Hope he has a boxing glove on a stick sitting around.

Seriously though, I'm glad we're keeping Zohn in any capacity. He's a recruiting asset, and has done a good job developing our WRs in his first year on the job.

It certainly seemed to be the issue when Brewer went down against OSU. And when Motley was the starter, we saw Lawson doing the exact same thing Motley had been doing when Brewer was the starter.
