Totally agree with #1. There is a lady in my office who only likes
them because of their mascot. She doesn't know anything about
them otherwise. Seriously?1?!?!?!? She even has a mouse pad and
t-shirts but she never watches their games or anything. Ugh!!

Vince Hall in Jake Houseright's body. Jake could have been the best guy they have had if he had been healthy. He was rotating in with senior Michael Hawkes (who was very good) during his R-FR year (1999.) He was a good player with a wrecked knee.

Hall was perfect at getting into those interior bubbles and putting guys on the ground. He was fantastic. Tyler was very good. Bruce Taylor was the best pass rusher from that spot.

My biggest concern with Motu is that he always seems to tackle high. For example, in the video against Trey, when he faces him straight up (bad that he's facing him straight up anyway), he doesnt break down and tackle low. He stays upright and tries to bring him down from the shoulders. No way he'll be able to tackle any D1 RB that way.

This will be my last post on the topic.

I want to make it crystal clear that I am NOT bashing the greek community. I have absolutely no issues with Fraternities or Sororities in general. When someone uses an acronym without defining said acronym that implies that it is a commonly known/used acronym. Based on the original post I believe it is fair to surmise that GDI is a term commonly used to identify individuals who are not members of a Fraternity or Sorority (I have since learned that may not necessarily be the case....fine). Given this combined with the supposed definition of GDI as "God Damn Independent" (which I believe to be offensive, not because I'm an 'Independent' but rather because I think preceding any pronoun with 'God Damn' is disrespectful to that respective group) I find it to be a mark against the argument that Fraternities are full of D-Bags. I am NOT saying that because this argument undermines itself it must be entirely wrong. That is not my point at all. Again, I have no reason to speak or think ill of Fraternities or Sororities. It bothers me that someone supporting greek life undermines their own argument and making greek-identifying individuals look bad in the process.

It would bother me if a Hokie used an offensive term in reference to something non-Hokie in the process of defending the Pro-Hokie perspective. That doesn't mean that I would be anti-Hokie for disagreeing with the presentation of the argument. I don't know if that makes my perspective on this clearer to others or not. This debate has gotten out of hand and apparently some feelings have been hurt so I will terminate with this. I want it to be absolutely clear that I don't think Fraternity Brothers are Douchebags. Douchebags walk among all groups of people. Douchebaggery is not something that can be classified by race, gender, age, religion, sexual preference or any other affiliation. Fraternity Brothers can be Douchebags. Non-Fraternity Brothers can be Douchebags.

The core of my argument came from the fact that a Pro Fraternity individual argued that not all Fraternity Brothers are douchebags (a stance with which I happen to agree) but in so doing used a potentially offensive term to identify non-Fraternity Brothers (which would be kind of a douchebag thing to do). The irony killed me.

period. end.

I was in the RV lot (near the airfield) last year for the ECU game and a guy had one of those $300 drones. It was maybe 100 ft. in the air but obviously the ATC thought it was too close to the air space for the airport.

It seems as though the ATC hacked the drone and sent it on a course northeast towards the stadium, the guy flying it freaked out and went as far as calling the police to ask if they would look for it.

I just waited silently for an FAA official to show up and arrest him, that didn't happen but I'm guessing it could have.

Bob Saget isn't nearly as funny when you are expecting the crudeness... Watched a standup special of his on Netflix with my wife last year and, it was pretty terrible. His entire routine is essentially based on the "OMG, I can't believe Danny Tanner would say that". Once that initial shock wears off, it stops being funny real fast.

What cracks me up is that the term "frat" is apparently offensive. I never knew this was the case and will try to be careful to stop using it, but I'd love to hear the rationale behind that one.

I think it's pretty safe to assume that nobody wants to be called "frat boy", which you used in a different post.

I still talk about the Bob Saget/Mark Curry show to friends who don't believe how dirty Bob Saget's stand up persona is.

311 was a great show too. I was walking to class earlier in the day and they were hanging out between Burress and Randolph in lawn chairs. Cool dudes, of course.

Great stuff. I have been waiting for this analysis.
I'm curious if French could design the perfect Mike LB for Foster's defense, what would he look like/ be? (and/or what former Mike or other teams' player would fit the prototype the best?)
