And I'm not going to lie, I love seeing our logo on the other teams' posters.
Alabama: "Built by championships we didn't actually win, we were just awarded retroactively by a committee.'
Just this: Bwahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahha!!!!!!!
Man, this makes my sides hurt.
One point ahead of GiT. I'll take it.
You're missing the point the team also offers the contract and then nullifies it at will but the player is unable to do the same. It takes two parties to make a contract but one has all the power to hold up the contract or nullify the contract. If you underperform the team doesn't have to wait until the end of the contract term in order to terminate the contract they can terminate immediately but if you over perform as a player you are unable to terminate the contract immediately it isn't a 2 Way St.

# | "Virginia Tech offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler seeks more balance in his life" First, I have no idea what type of offense TCU runs or what their player personnel situation was like when the new OC showed up.
Second, I am not an apologist for any coach, but I do follow VT football pretty closely thanks to TKP and various other sources. What I know is that Lefty was hired to install a run-heavy/play action pass offense. To accomplish that style of offense, the critical elements are excellent run-blocking linemen and several top shelf running backs who can get lots of yards after contact. When Lefty arrived, we had neither of those. When your QB is your best running back (Logan Thomas) and your O-line is a bunch of walking wounded who started out as D-Line or TE's, your run-based offense is in a big hole.
This year, there finally exists an O-Line that MIGHT be able to provide a power running game, and we SUSPECT that our RB's are up to the task. If either of those fail, we get a repeat of last season, and Lefty may or may not get one more chance with his new toy/freak athlete/QB Lawson.
I am pulling for Lefty b/c I think he works harder than any man in Blacksburg, and because I want to see VT win every single game this season and make the college football world finally give Coach Beamer the level of respect he deserves for the exceptional and inspirational coach that we know he is and has been for decades. Go Hokies!
Turkey leg for a great movie reference.
I know we have the best corner duo if we're healthy. But... Best secondary room top too bottom?
Fumbling punts is one of the worst mistakes in football. Changes field position, changes momentum, keeps the defense on the field. You better hope you have the surest hands back there.
Nope I have always been a fan of Washington but they have been so consistantly bad for 23 years now it gets tough, plus Dan Snyder has been increasingly difficult to support over the years.
They better not use braxton on a gadget play....and it better not be from the movie "the little giants"
As long as you don't like the Steelers we're good. I am a Ravens fan that was always hoping Tyrod would get his chance. I hope he keeps it up and becomes Brady's kryptonite in the AFC east. Tired of Brady and the Pats and all the BS that comes with them.

Bud hates UVA. I dont know why this thread is a thing.
I found some evidence in an old 2014 article on TKP spending a day with Coach Foster indirectly explaining why he'd never coach at LOLUVA. He drives a Ford Fusion. There is no way he'd drive a Chevrolet Cavalier...
Bud Foster's Ford Fusion is, two, three, now four car lengths ahead
100% agree, but he signed a contract, and now he's proved he deserves more. When his contract is up, he can take advantage of it. I know people can disagree, but the NFL is a business. If I ran my department based on 1 year of performance I would kill my company. That's how people become complacent. However, I'm not saying he doesn't deserve it.
The whole Braxton Miller thing is just a smokescreen that guys going be parked on the bench from the first snap.

# | "Virginia Tech offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler seeks more balance in his life" You're right, they were in worse shape.
TCU 2013: 107th yards/game, 89th points/game
VT 2012: 83rd yards/game, 83rd points/game
Average Rivals recruit class ranking, TCU 2011-13: 31
Average Rivals recruit class ranking, VT 2010-12: 26
So VT had more talent on hand and started from a higher platform. TCU jumped from the Mountain West to the Big 12 starting the 2012 season so they had to deal with that additional handicap as well. But yes, keep telling me how unreasonable it is to expect a good coordinator to have done more than make a terrible offense worse in his first two years.
Yeah but the only people getting any real guaranteed money are the very top first-round draft picks and the quarterbacks, maybe a few WRs or RBs everyone else is on the short end of the stick especially a late round pick who excels and exceeds.
Pathetically I am a Bills fan now :) Tyrod looks good in red, white and blue
Beat me to it, so pumped... Chuck said he is the man, and he is excited to see him with the full talent.
Looks like Tyrod has a pretty good chance of starting for Buffalo. He looked pretty good tonight (sans the red zone sack).
Chucky just said he believed Tyrod has taken control of the position and he expects him to be the starter
Which is why I Iove Hokie Football so much more. But, to your point, there is guaranteed money for a reason. I mean damn, look at Sam Bradford.
You can still almost see the cut and paste lines...
