Which presents another possible wrinkle when you line up Redman as the outside tackle on jumbo set knowing that he can block/catch as well.
What a difference a year makes in potential personnel.
ESPN gives excuses as to why OSU lost
After I got SiriusXM, I really haven't had much reason to listen to local radio for music. Fortunately in this day, we have plenty of alternatives for music broadcasts, be they on the web or satellite.
Paisley snuck a WVU hat on Beamer a couple years ago. This year, Beamer will walk out on stage, put a VT hat on Paisley, crowd will go wild. Book it.
Then VT will beat OSU. Crowd goes wild.
Party downtown. Crowd goes wild.
I might be amped for football season. Either that, or I am having an aneurysm.
Brewer could go in any direction this season. Even game to game, his position may vary widely on this continuum.
I think of it as performance, with less reliance on awards than others. Winning an ACC-CG MVP or even an ACC POY is dependent on the context of that award. Glennon was good in that one game, but it was a game with very limited offense IIRC.
You and I have been around long enough to see all these guys. Druck is a difficult one to rank because he played in a 20 pass/game system. We just didn't ask him to do as much as we did with, for instance, Brewer last year. We are running more plays, throwing the ball a lot more. Would that have benefited Druck? Maybe.
I loved Druck. He was what Logan looked like when he was good. 38-0Bro Logan was Druck almost every week.
Marcus is a tough one to rank as well. One great year, although he crapped the biggest bed of all time against Miami. But he could be sooooo good. You have to consider that it was only one year though, which limits a lot of these guys. As I've said before, Brewer's first year was very comparable to Noel's one year, I give Brewer the advantage mostly on anticipation that this year will be much better.
Sugar Bowl, not sure how I mixed the two up...thanks for catching that. And yes, the 4th and 11 is the one I was trying to refer to.
Plus Sobzcak has already taken a redshirt. With how difficult it is to leave early as a DT I would redshirt if at all possible. Even with 2 senior DTs we already have 2 starting DTs ready for next year so its not like we have to prep a player to start next year either. Between Settle and Walker I think we need to redshirt at least one if not both.
I remember Randall taking over for Noel due to injury in 2002 and never giving the ball back to him. 2003 was weird for him, and I think the coaches had a lot to do with Randall falling off that year because of the whole two-QB thing with MV5.
I checked the box score too, since I didn't remember the good stuff from the bowl game against Cal, and Randall was Aaron Rodgers' equal that day. (And MV5 was the 3rd-leading receiver.)
Rapid City, SD doesn't have a hip-hop/rap station. ...lots of Christian music stations though. Even some native American music stations, interesting enough. ...but man, seriously, no rap stations here. Unbelievable.

# | Charley Wiles, Torrian Gray Discuss D-Line, DBs, Respectively After Scrimmage I I think talent is being equated to potential in this case. is Tim currently better? Since where talking about using him out of necessity vs power teams this year.

# | Charley Wiles, Torrian Gray Discuss D-Line, DBs, Respectively After Scrimmage I I don't think so and I am a huge Settle fan. Sobzcak , right now, is far more disruptive and makes more plays.

# | Charley Wiles, Torrian Gray Discuss D-Line, DBs, Respectively After Scrimmage I It was Ford that beat him but the play got called back. Ford also beat Riley by about 10 yards on a post pattern but Brewer missed the throw.

# | Charley Wiles, Torrian Gray Discuss D-Line, DBs, Respectively After Scrimmage I I think it will actually be 11 TE's
Druck is at least #3 out of this group and would make a strong push for #2, depending on your preference of QB. As for Marcus, if you count his 2005 season (his only one as a starter), he is a top 4 QB out of this group.

# | Charley Wiles, Torrian Gray Discuss D-Line, DBs, Respectively After Scrimmage I I think it'll be seven defensive lineman with a rover, FS and two CB's.

# | Hokies' Starting Center Eric Gallo Leans on Current and Former Teammates to Adjust to New Role I don't know if I'm the only one who has never seen this, but it's amazing. Well done.
I actually saw quite a bit of movement, especially when when we Ran out of the hurry-up.
however the more recent moves seem to be working.. Teller, Redman & Settle yes Nijman duh !
I have been extremely impressed with Redman lately, he's putting in work. Starting to get more comfortable with some OL2's working with OL1's so in season when we need to mix and match its not an issue.

# | Charley Wiles, Torrian Gray Discuss D-Line, DBs, Respectively After Scrimmage I Wouldn't they use SS if the need was just a big body. I think he is well over 300 and stronger than and better conditioned than Settle and has already burned a shirt.

When you live in an apartment in college, didn't you split the cost of groceries/alcohol/etc. with your roommates? Fraternities are basically the same thing except on a bigger scale. We used our dues for formals, parties, tailgates and road trips...I had a lot more fun when I was in a fraternity i versus the one year I was a GDI at VT.
Dues weren't even that expensive, if you had a part-time time job in college, you could easily cover it.
I don't get why people continue to be dicks towards frat guys. Are they douchebags in the greek system? Of course, but they're douchbag GDIs as well.
