As someone whose work blocks youtube but not gifs, I rather enjoyed being able to see what was going on. I think SBNation does it best, where the gifs only play when you hover your mouse over them.

Grad Assisstant, Michael Brewer: "Yes, Ispeedius, we have real classes and beautiful women here at Tech. And did I tell ya about those two wins over the Buckeyes?"
Ispeedius Baller, 6* Stud Recruit: "No shit? Urban Meyer told me he's never heard of Virginia Tech."
Michael Brewer: chuckle.

We've been hearing that a healthy RVD can run with wr's for years so, theoretically, that should add versatility.

Although I have no doubt Bud will show the "Bear" look some throughout the game, I would bet he will retool some players' responsibilities and/or the personnel. I don't think anyone knows exactly what he will do, but I have a feeling we possibly could see 3 linebackers on the field a lot more with RVD having a bigger role. I'm sure Urban will try to make us pay for the Cover 0 Bear look as you say by trying to pass some, putting us in a "pick your poison" situation between stopping the run or pass. But I think Foster knows this. With 3 linebackers in the game, we can still load the box to stop the run, and this also frees up at least one of the safeties to drop back into coverage. Could open up the opportunity for some interesting blitzes and coverage disguises. I'm sure you will see a lot of other looks besides the Bear as well. I doubt we see a ton of 3-4 WR looks due to the relative inexperience there for OSU. I think we see a lot of "12" personnel with a TE and H-Back. I'm looking forward to this chess match unfolding.

I read about that. Ridiculous!!! For one thing South Carolina has one of the best looking license plates on the road.

Whenever there's 2 teams that aren't VT or even in the ACC, I usually just think which team losing would benefit us more. We do recruit against Michigan but not with Utah so rooting for the Utes on this one.
(I know one loss doesn't have a huge impact but just how I choose who to root for)

UNC vs. South Carolina is a tougher choice as we compete with both in recruiting.

Once you've lost to an FCS team, can you really get that mad about losing to another one?

Yes, you can. I live in Greenville, SC. Furman's fan base is small but loyal. If we lose to them, I may have to move. /s

MB: Scott Loeffler's office.
CB: Scott, is that you?
MB: Um, uh, yea coach, what's up?
CB: Have you decided whether you're going to redshirt Lawson yet?
MB: Oh, yes, we absolutely need to redshirt him coach. The way Brewer is playing right now, Lawson will never see the field this year.
CB: Um, you sure Lefty? Lefty, is that really you?
MB: Gotta go coach. Gotta go watch film. Bye.

just for funsies I took another look at LOLUVa's schedule. A couple of things jumped out at me. They could very well end up at 2-10. Their Ceiling, IMO, is 5-7 and their more-than-likely basement is 0-12. The other thing, which irks me, is that they have 7 home games. And good ones too! ND, Boise, GT and VT. That's a pretty solid home schedule for anybody.

@UCLA - Loss
Notre Dame - Loss
William and Mary - Toss-up
Boise State - Loss
@Pitt - Loss
'Cuse - Toss-up
@UNC - Loss
GT - Loss
@THE 'U' - Toss-up (I only say this because LOLUVa has the uncanny ability to beat them when they shouldn't)
@L'ville - Loss
Duke - Loss
VT - Loss
