# | Wyatt Teller Dishes on the Death of the "Bun of Disgust" and the Birth of "The Fool's Hammer" Just imagine how less prepared some of the 2nd team guys would have been to step in with the 1st team if they hadn't gotten those 1st team reps.
Many were forced out by Strong, but that is not a good sign. You can create a culture of accountability, but come in and be a hard ass and you'll rub some people the wrong way. And tes, the AD did many things wrong which is why he's gone. It's not an issue with Strong being disliked by fans. He was put in a position to fail. Expectations exceed what he can accomplish with the support he has. And there is an expectation that you put up more than 3 points and don't lose by 35 to Notre Dame. Restlessness will create "buyer's" remorse among the fans and you'll see him on the hot seat next year. Less than 7 wins this year will put him on the hot seat after last year's 6-7 season.

He did. He went searching for, then started shit talking Blount after the game was over. Idk what Noise St.'s deal is, but they have a perpetual case of Napoleon syndrome going on
I am game. By the time I drop off my dog for the day, make the 3 hr drive, park and walk, I will be looking at about 1 pm as a meeting time.
ISAIAH FORD!!!! Top that pun
You think you're a Cunningham, eh? If Momma Teller catches you in her cookie jar, she'll be yelling, "Santamaria!" Then you'll have to hide your Facyson, because she'll be so Maddy that the boys in blue will Click the cuffs on you and give you a nice Taylor made cell while you wait for your own personal Gallo.
(Please dont take this the wrong way Fencer) but throttling UVA in one of the most UVA sounding sports just sounds amazing. I wish I wouldve known about this.
Through the school? Or ticket website? If through ticket website I would not trust it to work.
Those fans may be angry but Texas has to do something. They lost money, a lot of it (for Texas) last year.
It should also be pointed out just how many people left Texas when Strong arrived there.
IIRC, Most players were forced out/cut by Strong for violating team policy. There was a culture of complacency at Texas, Strong wanted a culture of accountability.
After losing the AD, Strong will probably be out of a job by the end of next year if he can't make the playoffs. That's pretty much what Texas expects and will pay someone else to get.
I doubt this. From the Texas fans I've spoken to, Texas AD was fired for alienating and nickle/diming fans, taking away parking passes and giving worse seats to fans who had donated tens of thousands of dollars over the last decade. He stopped giving free meals to coaches, and a bunch of other little things.
All the Texas fans I've talked to are happy with Strong. If he post 6/7 wins this season, and 8 next season, I think his job is secure for the season after.
Edit: Deleted - should have never been posted. Apologies.
Look at the NFL draft trends for kids who leave early, they don't get drafted over 25% the time. In fact the number of players leaving early for the draft is actually looking to go down after spiking in the last few years.
Tigers
Wildcats
Yellowjackets
Trojans
Roll Tide
Bruins
The guys at Hammer & Rails (Purdue's blog on SB Nation) said Harry's Chocolate Shop is the greatest bar on earth. It looks like it would be a walk through their campus to get to the stadium, which I would enjoy. Y'all want to meet up there?
We beat their pants off in fencing, but no one was ever there to see it.
Still felt great.
I bought tickets for the Furman game and I had the option to save a QR code to my phone and just present that at the gate. I can't imagine why they wouldn't make this available for every single ticket, but especially student tickets.
I think there are too many variables when it comes to red shirting to just say a coach "hates it", so that means VT should not do it. When did a player get on campus, the later they did the less time they have to learn the playbook, less time to get in college football shape and conditioning. How important is getting these kids a degree, I think at VT CFB and staff think it is VERY important to have the kids earn their degree, how does Strong and Urban feel about it?
Happy to see a walk-on get a chance to prove himself on the field. We've had several good guys walk on and earn major roles in the past. With that being said, may the best Mike win!

The point is, if a freshman is able to contribute to the team, you want to give him the opportunity to contribute ASAP

I'm not sure how the two equate? Are you suggesting that a player may have it together on the football field, but not the classroom?
1: nobody ever deserves to get hit in the nuts by another guy
2: blount was/is a thug
3: #94 probably deserved it, though
LOLUVA have fans for every sport BUT football.
If you're on windows 7 or newer just use snipping tool.
I was blinking, can we all get together for a retake?

Yeah, I was wondering where the VT tickets were going to be. Before I bought tickets I couldn't find any info on it at all. I ended up getting tickets closer to the south endzone.
