5.) FCS. There are five rounds of the playoffs at that level. If a team goes through all five rounds, they play 16 games in one season. And those are at the schools that care about grades.
This is the one that always gets me when FBS university presidents start talking about the season being too long for a FCS style playoff. So it's OK for those kids on those few schools to play more games and have a longer season, but not for FBS kids? Give me a break.
I miss that show so much.
Pinstripe got stuck with a team that won't bring any fans.
No, Pinstripe selected Duke. They could have taken Pitt (which is closer), but they didn't, which is what contributed to the trickle down effect.
If it's one thing that kids from the 757 can relate to and identify with, it's a dorky, white dude from Utah.
Not trying to be argumentative. Just saying I think the ACC has found a nice compromise. Like I said above, you definitely can advocate for a system where you can't select a team with a worse record over a team with a better one, but then I think the ACC is going to have a tougher time securing bowl tie-ins. Just being honest, there are some teams that are just not attractive to selection committees, and Pitt is near the top of that list. Duke, likewise, won't bring fans to wherever they go bowling. We have some programs with some shitty, shitty fan support. But if you strongarm bowls into taking Pitt over NC State because they had one more win, that's how you find it real hard to maintain your bowl affiliations.
This is a better system than the ACC had in the middle 2000s. You can argue it can be improved to guarantee teams with better records a better bowl, but doing that is going to have some negative consequences.

# | Fuente Kicks Off Recruiting Effort with Outreach to 2016/2017 Commits and Recruits I had the same question but as I was starting to google it I couldn't help but to notice the very deep questions that others have had about football and I felt compelled to share...
The "Stroman is moving full-time to offense" announcement followed by him starting two weeks later at DB.
Also Calvin Kline's absence. Seems to me he is a perfect sub to give Bucky a rest when he was visibly exhausted.
Mrs. Beamer's Auto Garage wants to say hello...
This is great. Fuente's team beats Mendenhalls team in the bowl game last year. Mendenhalls players get mad and fight. Fuente's team beats Mendenhalls team again with fisticuffs. This sounds great.
I read somewhere that one had the play-calling duties while the other had on-the-field responsibilities during the game. I can't recall who was who though.
Was thinking the same, are we sure we got the "better" of the two? Did they share play calling duties or did one call run vs. pass? I am wondering how it worked there.
Does anyone know which one of the co-OCs called the plays? Was it Dickey or Cornelsen?
^^^^ This x 1000.
Almost every high level hoops school besides UNC has students at midcourt in TV view.
Needs more of those big ass fans.

# | Fuente Kicks Off Recruiting Effort with Outreach to 2016/2017 Commits and Recruits A few offers but currently listed as a Boise State commit...
Edit: A quick scroll shows Boise State is the 3rd team he's committed to out of his 7 offers...
This is true.
Most people were thinking no, but apparently he was photographed with JF at a high school game

# | Memphis co-OC and RBs coach Darrell Dickey to Remain with Tigers That would be what I would wonder, as we had those reports of Shane possibly staying real early on.
The question is does Shane try for the ECU job, or maybe end back up at USC-e? (Since according to 247, everyone except Shawn Elliott was sacked). Then if he goes, do we retain Bruden instead?
Or do we just go with a complete new hire?
I don't have any specific figures to support any of this, but I recall some interviews with Whit where he was making it a priority - especially with the need to fund cost of attendance through the "Pylons of Promise" program.
And don't get me wrong, I wouldn't want to lose the atmosphere you get during a big game in Cassell either. Careful consideration is always a good thing, and the prudent measure too.
But I don't want us to stand pat if upgrading Cassell will eventually help us against the competition. That's something the athletic department has to determine too - is upgrading Cassell worth it from a dollars & cents perspective? Because at the end of the day, that's really the determining factor.
This. Cassell gets nasty hot.
Still need to out-recruit the SEC neighbors, but I like your thought
Keep Stiney for TE and recruiting. Terrified he will end up at UMd, NCSU, UNC, etc and eat our lunch with his recruiting ties.
I agree.
I suspect the punter knew he had blown it the second he got tackled. No need to berate him, then berate him again after the score, AND in the halftime interview on national TV.
Not the end of the world, but it seemed excessive.
That is currently the plan. The obvious point is these things take time and money, so 'Courtside at Cassell' was the first thing implemented. Suites are next as far the arena part goes (page 122 of this pdf is the concept for where they would go. http://www.bov.vt.edu/minutes/15-03-30minutes/attach_aa_03-30-15.pdf). Cassell, Merryman and Jamerson are getting a facelift (these concepts are in the pdf as well, but there are actual renderings in the hallways if you are in the area), which mostly just affects recruiting and day to day operations. The last part, which isn't in a pdf yet is renovating the seats to newer, cushioned seats. Time and money will dictate when that happens most likely, but it is at least being discussed. With all of that I could see capacity somewhere around 8500-8750 depending on how big the suites end up becoming.
