I'm not sure he's a Frank Beamer OR a Buzz Williams hire. They were both outliers, and there is a lot of space between them.
Let's just hope the overlap lasts for a while. I'd prefer this problem to the one of "we overrated this guy as head coach and our team can't beat the little sisters of the poor" that we've been plagued with lately.
Is Nolan a Dapper Dan man though!?!
That's nice, especially for the easily distracted, such as myself. Thank you.
I'm not an electrical engineer, and definitely not a cellular designer, but I know enough about wifi to tell everyone that the issue with coverage inside the stadium is the stadium itself. The East and West stands in particular, built with large sections of uninterrupted concrete, with zero overhang, make any kind of micro zoning and beam forming a logistical nightmare. Most modern stadiums handle this through precise antenna/wifi placement under the overhangs and within the concourse for very precise zoning for the client endpoints - basically, this narrows down the client contention to the hundreds (or very low 1000s) as opposed to 10s of thousands. To do that with Lane's design, the answer is smaller antenna towers lining the edge of the lower bowl, and an another similar implementation at the top of the east/west stands. Its ultimately an eye sore, but if you are in the business of selling fiber cable you would be able to retire on this job... That's a long way of saying that its going to take a tremendous amount of cash to retrofit modern technology into a stadium that is over 60 years old.
I agree this isn't a worry for right now.
I'm just saying... The fanbase should be aware that this is a Buzz Williams hire, not a Frank Beamer hire.
JMFF is always going to do what is best for JMFF. Right now, the venn diagram of 'what is best for JMFF' and 'what is best for VT' is nearly perfectly overlapped. There will be some day in the future where that is not the case. So the fanbase shouldn't be shocked or upset when JMFF makes a decision that only benefits JMFF.
I have zero issue with this. But I think a lot of folks will.
Prioritize 7 home games
Thank you! We should have been doing this for years instead of home and homes with in-state G5s.
Hello fellow fan who was present for arguably the lowest moment in our program's history. The atmosphere felt like a funeral by halftime.
I remember spending much of the second half actually lying down stretched across 4-5 seats watching with my head propped up on my arm as there was no one in front of me to block my line of sight. Most comfortable game I 've ever watched in person (physically- not mentally). Thankfully our season ticket seats were NOT provided the seatbacks so we never had to 'remove them' as many did nearby us.
I hope when he goes to test it, he has multiple people beside, in front of, and behind him during this test. I'm willing to bet whoever greenlit those seats did not do that. Because when you're by yourself, it's not so bad. And I know this personally because ohohoh boy was that stadium empty during the ODU second half...But once you put someone in front of and beside you, it becomes unbearable.
On a related Cell/internet service note, I got plenty of reception during that ODU second half! :')
Your last point was what I was going to say in regards to the stadium cell service. I don't need to be able to check instagram during the games, but it's basically a four hour blackout from reliable communication with the outside world.
He did specify that he would need to test the seat backs before doing anything about them. Which I see as a reasonable position to have.
I personally didn't find them as terrible as some people, but I understand that one size doesn't fit all.
He also stated that the cell service/wifi in Lane needs to be addressed from a fan experience but also from a safety aspect of not being able to make or receive calls while in the stadium. So this will probably be a priority for them in the next year.
nothing could be more appropriate for a school that has always operated as if the rules don't apply to them but projected a public image of being above the messiness of college athletics
Those seat backs are the worst things ever created. Whit really thought he was cooking when he added those.
This isn't our biggest worry right now.
If he's successful in a year or two, he likely won't want to leave just yet. The reason he took this job is because it's ideal for him right now.
Sorry, meant as a reply to the Roman numeral thread.
I can't remember how to write 1, 1000, 51, 6, and 500 in Roman numerals
I M LIVID
X/X
Don't you put that evil on us, Ricky Bobby!
I know some people well connected along with some former players... This isn't good at all...
But on the bright side, for UNC fans, this will bring an end to the Billy B. era much quicker it seems.
LOL at all these washed up NFL dudes just failing at life.
That's right on the border for me. It's "an" when the h sound gets washed out (an hour), a when there is a hard consonant sounds (a hard consonant sound). Human feels like one that is regionally dependent? In some places it's more "yuman," in others that "huh" sound is more defined.
They can't even follow the rules when there ARENT EVEN ANY RULES!!! They need to be relegated to the SoCon pronto

Maybe my favorite thing Jason Kelce has ever said. And he is proven right on it, time and time again.
But remember, UNC wanted to keep VT out of the ACC because they thought our program wasn't clean enough for their standards
