pretty sure that guy is married too, at least from his previous comments
I'd up vote the meat of your point, but I'm not so sure about your opening analogies (re HC Bud and Noah).
(I typed a bunch of stuff after that and said "never mind, just let it go," and hit backspace.)
I thought Buzz was good, but wow.
(Edit to add: I was really trying to imply that Buzz was somehow responsible for the success of the Lady Hokies, but it didn't come out that way. I'll just leave it the way it is, though.)
He did say scary.
You should also feel bad for Kirby Smart, Will Muschamp, Gene Chizik, Pat Narduzi, that guy from BC, Pruitt, Odom, Luke Fickel, and Jon Tenuta. They were also successful coordinators at successful programs, many of them loyal to their team or HC. They also didn't get their "fair shot" at the VT job.
The vols had a 44 home game winning streak against unranked teams before losing to us yesterday. I've got a hunch that these lady Hokies are going to be ranked here soon.
Sometimes people believe in a thing so strongly they rationalize a 'reality' that supports their belief. Like, dinosaurs on Noah's Ark. Or: certainly Bud has been offered P5 HC jobs, he just turned them down.
I knew Bud wouldn't be offered the VT job. I'm ecstatic Bud stayed as DC. Now we have exactly what we need: an offensive minded HC, a modern, spread based, offense-first program, and a strong defense. Our model is now OSU and Clemson.
The reason Bud is not an HC: he has not been willing to do what people like Fuente, Herman, and Morris did - take a non-P5 HC job, prove yourself, and be better positioned to take the P5 opportunity when it arises. Had he done this five years ago he might be VT's HC right now. But I think it was more important to him to be VT's DC, remain loyal to Frank, and hope for the best.
Well Pittsburgh can go ahead and leave.
I'm all on in.
We're Hokies. I'm definitely not able to make a trip down south but hell there is FOOTBALL TO BE PLAYED!
1) The closest university is Louisiana State University, Shreveport (LSU-S), which from what I understand is known for the medical programs. You will also find Louisiana Tech an hour east in Ruston, and University of Louisiana-Monroe is another 30 minutes past Ruston.
2) I am married, but I work with a ton of single dudes, so from what I have heard: the local female population is "meh" at best. You will probably find cougars at the casinos and a mixture of locals and Air Force women downtown in the bar scene: Chicago, The Boot, Sand Bar, Blind Tiger, Phoenix Underground -- all of which are within walking distance of each other in downtown Shreveport. There is also Larry Flint's Hustler Club downtown if you give up looking, you will see the sign from a mile away.
One more thing: you will be competing with tons of single Air Force guys, so expect poor gender ratios at most places.
We EARNED this bowl game. If the players have such a pitiful attitude towards this game, we might as well not even show up.
Ok, and I'm proud that my team fought like hell to be 6-6. I don't get this "just happy to be here" mentality that so many seem to have right now.
Ok, but their shitty teams are shittier than our shitty teams.
Two random and possibly side questions: 1) what is the closest or largest local university & 2) best places in the area to secure temp female companionship??

# | Per Memphis Beat Writer, New Hokie OL Coach Vance Vice to join VT immediately It does seem a bit strange to me too... maybe they ain't as smart as me and you? Or it could be that yes, even in this age of cutthroat college athletics, Memphis is recognizing Fuente's contribution to the university and is helping to make the transition as smooth as possible for him. I dunno. Plus, let's not forget that the new coach, Norvell, is from ASU and will likely bring his own staff anyways, so it's not like they're letting Vice out of a long-term contract or anything.
Boy did you ever get the ol' grab and behind, sounds like you didn't even receive the courtesy of a reach-around OR being taken out to dinner.
Another part I forgot.
If this were a year that the Orange Bowl wasn't a semi-final, then things could have gotten real interesting. If the ACC opponent in the Orange Bowl was a Big Ten team, then the ACC gets the Big Ten slot in the Citrus Bowl. Then, the order of selection would be CFP/NY6, Citrus Bowl, RAB, Tier 1, Tier 2.
Also, the tier 2 bowls are ranked in a way, but only for eligibility purposes. If there are still 3 teams left after the Tier 1 bowls select, then the ACC will send teams to the Military, Independence, and Quick Lane Bowls. This year, there were only 2 teams left, which is why there is no ACC team in the Quick Lane Bowl. If there were only one team available, they would go to the Military Bowl.
And we made a bowl game by beating...
2-10 Purdue
3-9 Boston College
3-9 Ga Tech
4-7 Furman
4-8 UVA
7-5 NC State
Translation: Bad = bad
I'd be surprised if he can even walk after 16 years of leading the NFL in tackling

# | Per Memphis Beat Writer, New Hokie OL Coach Vance Vice to join VT immediately I feel like there will be a ton of decommits coming up here in the next month or so (more than usual) with all of the coaching changes, recruiting season will open RIGHT back up
Certainly. Good matchups really get players hyped. It's kind of like playing Pitt. It's a dangerous game because regardless of how good or bad Pitt is I just don't see our players getting psyched about playing them.
Joe, FYI, the link is broken. Fixed link
Got a good laugh at this:
Nothing quite says "Duke football" like "we're counting on Wall Street bankers to buy tickets to a game against Indiana."
