Equal. I have zero respect for anyone who messes with the national anthem and I'm constantly ashamed that it's a thing at VT sporting events. Apparently it's from Baltimore, but it needs to stay there and then go away. Have some damn pride in your country.

That's why I had concerns about him...

Unfortunately the best alternative isn't always a good alternative. Let's hope the coaches whiffed on this one...and either the small guy is much more capable of punching well above his weight class or the young guy is much more capable of playing beyond his years than they thought.

I haven't been to Lane since 2009 so I can't comment on the paper airplanes (other than saying it's super shitty and should definitely stop).

But I did just buy tickets to the Purdue game on Saturday, and when I was checking out, they gave me 4 options: 1.) print a PDF, 2.) save a PDF to my phone to be scanned on game day, 3.) save it as a file for Apple Passbook to be scanned on game day, and 4.) Will call.

These are all wonderful options, and if another school is doing it, I don't see why we can't.

I remember bits and pieces from that day. I had a rugby game and ended up taking a head across my face during a run. Broke my nose, felt a bit concussed, whatevs. Stayed in the game. I got home and there were about a dozen people in my apartment to watch the VT/ECU game. When I walked in, one of my friends said it looked like I had been in a car accident - blood everywhere, nose all crooked - but I just came in and sat down. At one point, I asked if anyone would take me to the hospital, since I was pretty sure my nose was broken and I had a concussion.... no one moved or said a thing. To this day, I'm not sure whether to be angry at my friends or proud that Hokie football meant that much to them. About 5 minutes later, I tried again and a guy I didn't know well said he'd drive me if I could use my car. That guy is now one of my best friends and most of this story I remember from him telling it. We got to the hospital and I saw the game on again - all I remember is David Wilson ripping off a crazy run - and I also remember seeing one of my teammates. We bonded over the fact that we were both there for broken noses and concussions, and my friend who drove me there decided at that point that he would never play rugby.

So yeah, that was an interesting day.

part of that has to do with the lack of pass rush. the longer they have to cover the more ordinary any secondary will look.
