DBU's picture DBU | 10 years 10 months # | Furman helmets to make the trip to Purdue?

" Seeing as how there's still a surplus left from both the Boise St game and the white Pro Combats the year before, I can't say I blame them. Price point would have been $80 for a mini helmet."

Where would I go to buy one of these helmets, or at least to find out the price and then not buy one because I'm not made of money?

Yes, it was once that way, but our coaches have seen talent as recruiting better players at their specific position has become more of a priority. So my point was that you can't say we have a culture of playing seniority over talent when recent history, which is what recruits will look at, dictates otherwise.

EDIT: if this seems out of place, it's because it was supposed to be a response to this

"Hello, my name is hokie07ME and I have a TKPing problem."

So how does Capt JLP fit into all this?

You do have to do it everytime, although I don't always see a pause button, so in those instances it's nice and at this point takes me no more than 5 seconds (I feel like I've gotten way to good at it).

And if you made a script that did what adblocker was supposed to do, you could block the ad AND revel in the knowledge that you went out of your way to create a solution to an insignificant problem that many others have solved before. That's why we got into this programming game, right?

I agree with this however I've think it's changed in recent years. i.e. the old running backs coach (completely drawing a blank on his name) did play seniority over talent. He thought it was a right of passage. Back then we had a great stable so it didn't matter too much but he still did it. Now we are getting more into the "if you can win the job in camp and practice, it doesn't matter what year you are"
