46 comments and not a single one noting the duke guy in a bra?
Yep, I'm well aware of all the excellent new tools out there for diabetics, and my daughter is actually managing her diabetes very well thanks to her and my wife being extremely diligent with her care. Her endocrinologist actually calls her one of her prize patients. Still doesn't mean she has lows and highs that have to be addressed, but they're not that often. And yes, she has a CGM that will communicate with an app and allows remote monitoring. And we're looking at a pump for her that will communicate with the CGM as well. But you know what many of those apps require? A working internet connection...
At any rate, no worries, I've since gotten over his rant and appreciate your comments. And sorry for boring folks with talking about my daughters condition. Not your problem I know.
Go Hokies!
getting almost 600 yards in a game will do that

nailed it ;)
I can assure you they are everywhere!!!
If we start all the freshmen, then we can tout "early playing time" to recruits! Genius!
Don't look now, we've gone from 80th to 51st in total offense compared to this time last year...
NCAA.com has a good number of different stats, once you find the page. The first page is the typical individual and team leaders for O & D, but get to the main list(s) and there's like a bazillion different combinations. Also different sorting and raking tools, allows you to pick totals through certain weeks of the season or past season, as well as individual players. Once again you have to find the stuff.

# | An[other] Open Letter to the Virginia Tech Department of Athletics To provide a solution to the issue, here's an idea.
As I understand things, the students are now printing their own tickets. Said paper tickets have their name on them. Hold a contest between first and second quarter for the closest to a point on the field...say the center of O in Hokies or something in the endzone. This will encourage (not fully require but at least encourage) the students to hold onto them until this time. And if you don't throw at this time, you can't win. Make the prize season tickets for basketball, or a team signed football or helmet, or a $200 gift card to a place in town, but at least something of decent value that will make throwing them all at the same time an incentive. This ensures that those in the stands can either take cover or at least know when the airplanes will be coming down towards them.
This would take a negative an turn it into an event. Fans that don't like it can be prepared. And all the paper should come down all at once!
I am 100% on board with redshirting no one.
Reasons:
- Agreement with Sir Urban: Don't 'save' anyone for next year. If they're needed or they're good enough, get them started now.
- Players can get their degrees in four years and they can fulfill their potential in college ball in four years. That's the standard career. No one can really claim they've been harmed by having a four year career.
- By time your redshirts become r-FR, you're already looking at the recruits that will replace them in a year or two. More important to keep the recruiting rolling than to 'save' a guy for later.
Exceptions:
- You're already stacked in a position and the newest guy isn't head and shoulders above the others. I think, this year, Deshawn McClease falls into this category at RB. I've heard he's good but there is a logjam in the stable.
- Guy gets injured senior year of high school and needs a year to recover.

Were there results from the last pick 6?
All football statisticians include defensive scores in the scoring offense stat.
Unless the statistician is an OSU fan, in which case we only scored 28 last year. As they were very quick to remind us every time we made the "mistake" of using 35.

I used to be all about redshirting however I like Urban's viewpoint. Why look to a couple years down the road to be great? "Hey when you guys are juniors we may have a shot at the national championship!!"
That probably helps him out in recruiting as well. "Hey if you earn the number one spot then you're playing. No matter what year you are."
I also like Strongs view on it as well because the freshman is going to be there in the upcoming years so it makes sense for him to get the most reps if the players are even.
I think we are starting to lean that way in terms of not redshirting, evidence with Lawson and the RBs last year. Even though we were forced to play them regardless, there was never any indication of redshirting Shai or Juice.
I'm definately more into the camp of if he can win the starting job now then he plays. Don't redshirt just to redshirt. If he's not good enough yet to play then he can take a redshirt.
Clemson -6.5 at Louisville: Clemson
Northwestern at Duke -3.5: Cats
Georgia Tech -2.5 at Notre Dame: Unfortunately GT by more than 2.5.
Stanford at USC -10.5: USC
Ole Miss at Alabama -6.5: Ole Miss
BYU at UCLA -16: BYU covers but doesn't win
Stanford at USC -10.5 - Another WAG...Trojans...(note to self: edit in a condom joke here)
Trojans...cover....????
To his credit, Meyer recruits a level of player that makes it easier for him to say this than others.
