The Go Pro on the head is a really cool idea and would provide some really cool footage, I think, but there's one problem I can see. There are times when the official has to throw his hat on the ground to signify things. (I'm drawing a blank right now as what those things are though. An additional penalty when his flag's already been thrown? Marking the spot where a punt or kick was caught?) Are those things durable enough to withstand that kind of abuse?
edit: One more potential problem...what're the odds of that thing being properly focused to see anything useful at any given time? The action you want to see will be at varying distances from the line judge or whoever's wearing it. Would you have to have a remote camera operator in the press box for each of these things, or do they have good auto-focus capability?
I think I can help, I speak jive
Those stats are incredible. At one place, okay, but two? Helping relatively mid-tier QB recruits to those types of numbers and becoming top NFL prospects is amazing. We don't want, we need the hat trick!
"Quarterbacks all have different things that make them special, and Coach Fuente brings that to the top, showcases that and uses it in his offense to help you and the offense thrive," Pachall said.
Man he killed that! That's real DJing right there, unlike these edm clowns that operate all off the same exact quarter note basslines and push buttons to pre-recorded sets.
I agree you play to win.. If Lawson was promised to not RS you throw him in and let him go the 2nd half. If he kills it then you turn to Motley and say yeah hes QB-1 right now. If not then you pull him aside and say look you got the 2nd half and we will give you some Furman time, if that doesn't work out would you redshirt. I doubt he would say no especially since he was given a legit shot.
Instead we basically "lied" to him, then covered up our tracks by playing him in 24 snaps... I can 1000% see why he was a little unhappy and might not have been super excited to sit the bench.
I have some more news on Lawson (transferring) but I am not going to bring it up because as of now its not relevant since he is staying
I did the same thing when I mowed my lawn last month, but did I get my own thread? Nooooo.
Hypocrites.
Pointless question. If hes good, he wouldnt stay more than 4. If hes 'serviceable, then he's in a pretty bad spot - Fuente would be looking for alternatives.
60 INTs since 2012...106th in the country.
I think any coach in the country not named Stevie Wonder could improve on this, but I am hopefully he can out scheme Stevie.
Yup I'm half black half white myself so that side of Logic really resonates with me. It can be hard to find where you "fit in" when the world has such narrow definitions of what it means to be black or to be white, but like Logic I found out that just doing what the fuck I want, despite what people think about me, is best for everybody.
And that's whats up about the battle, will def check it out! And I'm the same with my taste in music; I love it all (besides edm/electronic). I have a Michael Jackson tat, next to my Red Hot Chili Peppers tat, next to my Kanye West tat, I love playing rock music on my drum kit, and I run a hip hop website - hard to get more diverse than that ha.
They still play it late night sometimes on Teen Nick.
Probably because he felt Lawson couldn't execute the offense even if it was tailored to him. The goal was to win games and he felt like Motley gave us the best chance.
read it wrong. more that he wants to be more involved in the game as a whole. Fuente's offense is very very WR friendly.
Well if you wanna believe in poppycock and witchcraft there is the accuweather 45 day forecast. I'd take that with a grain of salt, as lots of the model info still has to update. but they apparently (according to them) are statistically accurate on major trends and systems, which makes sense, you can usually identify troughs and systems a month or more down the line. I'd actually kinda like to see how they do it, but regardless here ya go....so sunny and 42?

Ill keep my eye on the models when it gets closer to show-time
I'm not as upset about burning the redshirt as it gives Lawson another year in case he suffers a season ending injury early in the season. If he doesn't pan out, he frees up a scholarship a year sooner (assuming he stays all 4 years) or he has a transfer year available to him if he decides to transfer because he's been passed on the depth chart. If he has NFL talent, which many suspect he does, and bolts for the NFL, then it is a win/win for him and for Tech. Lawson is making some mad money in the NFL and Fuente gets another feather in his cap to show off to all the stud QB recruiticorns.
I also think a redshirt this year would have been a waste as he would have been learning Loeffler's offense. I know Loeffler and Fuente run similar schemes, but I'd rather Lawson be redshirting under Fuente's tutelage as Fuente's offense is the future.
I am looking forward to seeing all of the QB's development over these next few years and seeing complete domination from the defense AND offense! GO HOKIES!
Y'all better watch out. I'm dangerous.
The funny thing is that Rob Lowe was born in C'ville
Well, we don't have a QB coach on the 2016 staff yet.
we don't?

I get your point, but to that fact, then why couldn't he adapt to Lawson, knowing that Lawson has the athletic ability and potential to be our starter for the next 3 years?
Brandon Flowers, one of my all time favorite hokies, was actually partially at fault for the floodgates opening in that game. We would have started out forcing a three and out if he didn't absolutely crush Early Doucet away from the play (I guess to send a message?) and they got a fresh set of downs and never looked back. I still think we lose, but once they got going it was more of a everything that could go wrong will kind of situation.
That game was just horrific to watch. Tech would have gotten shut out if not for Tyrod. When Tyrod came he practically scrambled every pass play and rushed for a touchdown on the eventually national champions.
Thinking a more spread/open style of offense would fit/accentuate his skills better than what FSU runs which is pro style power football.
I hope I'm wrong, but I read this as "I don't want to run block."
FUENTE'S OFFENSE:
i have wrapped up in clothes and then ziplock bagged them in 2.5 gallon bags.
i typically bring back a lot of beer, so i use a 12 pack wine shipper that i also use to trade beers with.
Lil' Dicky is awesome. For those interested in hip hop [lyrics are NSFW]. Also here is Logic solving a rubiks cube while doing a freestyle.
