Why? Why does this bother you? It's an option. Not a blanket replacement. And if this is a choice that you have made on how you eat (or if your body has decided this is the way it is going to be...) then this is a good thing.

Thanks everyone for the replies! Hope to meet y'all at the TKP Tailgate prior to beating anOSU.

A few things really stand out on the first day:

1) Everyone is so in shape here! Auburn had significantly more out of shape guys than Blacksburg seems to.
2) the food deserves to be ranked high. Every place here beats every place from Auburn (other than having a Chick-Fil-A on campus).
3) I forgot how young 18-20 year olds look. I'm only mid-20's but dang. Feel sort like an old man on campus
4) the weather is 10000x better than Auburn. Walked around campus for about an hour and am not a puddle.

Good luck this semester everyone!

That's fun to look back on...it's obviously really hard to predict a season very accurately. I'll stand by mine from last year.

*Cough* Someone should do a more objective statistical season preview *cough*

I thought that was 247 with the useless crystal balls?

Until this latest article, (seriously?8 win season?) TKP has been pretty spot on.

Fundamental to any cult activity, we should all drink the cool-aid together ; )

Or it could have been a stupid tweet (like was explained above) and he's always been an honor roll student.
140 characters doesn't define everything about a person.

Or Osterloh has improved enough to warrant getting reps with the 1's in order to build that depth, whereas he and Nijman struggled too much in the spring to even consider it. That would certainly explain the timing. Or this is simply coach speak and being "pushed" isn't nearly as significant as you are inferring. Essentially what you are stating is that Teller went from being the best OL on the team to the sole potential starter who might not even be good enough to start, despite an abundance of evidence to the contrary.

You're reaching with your definitive statements. We'll see.

That tweet was from 2012, you don't think the spin machine at anOSU worked on that? He might have changed since then it has been years.

I'm not going to look up every interview with Meyer in the last 3 years. My mind was made up on the guy when he left Florida to "spend time with his family" and it took all of one year for him to renege on that promise.

Part of my post was that Notre Dame plays Navy every year and seems to manage. I wouldn't think the mighty Buckeyes would be so flustered by a one off game against a service academy team.

Right. And that's what I'm saying at this point in the season. At this point with the experience and talent we have on the team I see us as a 10 win team. We currently do not have any major injuries to key positions so you can't include that yet. As I mentioned to Mason below, if we do get an injury to a key player then yes expectations change. If Brewer gets put out for the season in the OSU game (knock on wood) then obviously our outlook for the season changes. But as of right now, we have experience and talent and we don't have any key injuries so I'd be disappointed if we don't get to 10 wins in the regular season.

Wake and Miami were major outliers as far as VT's track record. Two of the worst games VT has played in the past decade. A good reminder that anyone can win on any given day, but hard to draw larger conclusions from in my opinion.

Question-> 7-8 wins but no Coastal Title?? What happens? Obviously it would depend on it we're fully healthy or injury ridden season again.. but still that would be 4 years of 7-8 wins and no ACC title game appearances.

Yes. Yes, that was last year. Were you happy being 5-6 heading into the UVA game?? If you can say you weren't disappointed in the season at that point then I don't know what team you were watching.

Which brings up all kinds of questions as to just how good Conte has been recently. Either he's tearing things up, Teller has stepped back, or Osterloh just really can't play on the interior of the right side.
