Don't worry about random -1's that show up. Probably just errant scrolling, often on mobile devices. It happens and appears to have already been corrected. Questioning them or complaining about them just derails threads into meta discussions that don't need to happen. I offset any that I see.
Probably just an accidental fat-finger. That's why people usually don't comment on seemingly random, individual downvotes.

Props to Cinci for helping take the focus off us on this. While Whit completely squashes this thing before it gets going, the Cinci AD went on record to say he supports the thought of fining kids for issues.
you don't think Braxton Miller will be an impact player at H back? ok. Torrance Gibson is like Terrelle Pryor long and fast two things you can't teach.
They still have the 1# rb #1 wr and one of the top o lines in the country. Oh and Jones and JT at qb both future 1st round draft picks at qb. No one can pretend to know what Braxton Miller will do but I guarantee you if Vt doesn't keep an eye on him at all times he will house one or two of his touches. But ya i just hope we can keep it close haha its going to be tough replacing Browns One catch from last year.
Long time lurker, first time poster. Great site and love the in-depth discussion.
I did want to correct a minor thing many of my OSU brethren have been stating about Torrance Gibson in this thread: While Gibson did have a walking boot on, he has been out of one since Tuesday
I agree, except Miami nuked our first string offensive line (minus one starter) with their backups, and then the moment the 3rd string QB came in the game, no more sacks. Sure, the offensive line is terrible, but at some point Griffin has to realize that he often moves into pressure, and rarely starts his throwing motion at the top of his drop. Watch how fast Cousins and McCoy get the ball off, and you'll understand why they don't get sacked anywhere near as much.
An all Hokie QB NFL game, his will be done.
Been having a little fun with that around town...
O-H.....
I-
Not that I care that much, but just enough to respond. Why the downvote? Just stating what other another school did for visiting teams, neither of them VT. One of the anOSU as a visiting team.
hey guys, not sure who buckeye467 is but he seems to be pretty clueless to what is going on with the Ohio state football team.
Here is the deal. Noah Brown is out for the year along with it his one catch from last year. He also had an end around for no gain vs bama. Ohio state has 8 more 4 star recruits that have been either hurt in the past ie. Dixon burner from florida, and James Clark who I was very high on til he also broke his leg early his true freshmen year. both are now healthy and ready to step up. keep an eye on number 83 going deep when Jones is in at qb. Its pretty much still pick your poison with the offense. Crowd the line and Jones will throw it over the top. Oregon tried to do that and got burnt deep by Jones' cannon for an arm. I think that VT will probably have no choice but to stop the run first with Zeke #15 being one of the best backs in the country. Mike Thomas is the number 1 Nfl wr on Todd Mcshay's board for a reason he is big strong and doesn't go down from arm tackles.
Braxton Miller is the x factor I'm sure they will have some end around run pass options drawn up for him and I think people have forgotten he was the most explosive player in college football at the end of 2013.
If VT wins this game they will have to score 35 plus as the buckeye offense is night and day from where they were last year at this time. I think it could be a close game but in the end the buckeyes are just too loaded at every positions and have had revenge on their minds since summer workouts started. Good luck and hopefully its an exciting game.

# | Bitter blog - Babcock offers clarification on player fines, shuts down entire practice If you want a guy to hire you as the next HC at Virginia Tech, having him clean up your mess isn't a great way to do it.
Chris Coleman on TSL had a nice piece on it where he described the VT Football system as operating above the VT Athletics system over the years. Whit will check them.
The more I see of Whit, the more I like him.
Skins fan weighing in here... Personally I'm a bigger Cousins fan than RG3 but honestly I think any QB on our team (and really most QBs in the NFL) would get nuked by an opposing first team d-line going up against our first team o-line.
no... it IS obnoxious.
...and glorious (leg for you -for both collegiate and marital gamesmanship).
Fingers crossed there's no defense in this game and they both light up the scoreboard:
The amount of injuries this year in football (college and pro) is ridiculous. It feels like way more than usual. It stinks to see someone with such high hopes and expectations go down like this. The bad thing now, is if Tech wins, all outlets will say, "Well OSU were missing so many players through injuries and suspensions, that that allowed Tech to compete with them." I hope he recovers quickly. Breaking a bone is never easy, especially at that level of competition.
Actually, they do for both. They're hyper sensitive toward visiting fans cheering on their team, and will have security all over you for doing so. They also try to restrict tickets as much as they feasibly can to avoid any possibility of a visiting fan getting some. They rarely open up single game ticket for this one (which they will have others opened up all season) and will tie our game into every single season ticket mini plan they can to avoid any possibility of them hitting the public.
And don't even get me started on the harassment the campus police and CHPD will do towards visiting fans who decide to tailgate. UNC is a dry campus, and if you're not in baby blue, they'll make sure you know it.
you guys are so off-topic since this post was about how awesome it is that MV1 just got picked up by the Steelers, and yes the PETA crap that still follows MV1 is ridiculous, but you can't seriously actually believe that electric cars are worse for the environment than traditional gasoline powered cars? That is ridiculous. And I know probably 40 people that drive hybrid/electric vehicles that I'm sure are not PETA members so you'll need to do a lot more reading (or read something other than what big oil companies want you to believe) if you want to comment intelligently about electric cars/batteries.
I'll definitely check them out, thanks!

# | Bitter blog - Babcock offers clarification on player fines, shuts down entire practice Oh, the College Football offseason media machine. They needed something to talk about aside from Dalvin Cook and Sark.
I think we'll just have to disagree on this.
From some of the comments I heard on Mike and Mike earlier, it kind of sounded like he sees it as an unnecessary distraction and a huge burden on time to have to bring Vick up to speed on the offense in such quick order. From his perspective, he probably feels like they didn't have to go out and get Vick because it will take time for him to learn the playbook, and Landry Jones has already been in the system. Also, he probably feels like it's a moot issue because he doesn't plan on missing any time at all during the season. But from Tomlin's view, your backup is an inexperienced Landry Jones, and it's in the best interest of the team to have an experienced, talented guy like Vick in case something happens to Ben.
To his credit, Ben has said he recognizes Vick's ability and if he can help the team win, so be it. But it definitely sounded like it might have been a little bit of a distraction in his mind, and he's been trying to downplay the whole situation with Vick.
SET THE TONE!

# | Bitter blog - Babcock offers clarification on player fines, shuts down entire practice Disapproving Whit disapproves.
I understand that you just came over to TKP after reading about this thread on their forums. But after looking at your attitude there and your first post here, it would be a shame for you to besmirch the good names of the other OSU fans we have had on here for a few months...
