# | Teller Demoted? OL Shuffling? VT Football Practice Monday 8/17 Observations Which came first the demotion or the haircut is the question? Was he demoted first, and so became unworthy of the mullet? Or was it truly the source of his power and he couldn't hang with first OL after the cut? These are important questions.
Steven people's had the best block of all the backs in the lbs and rbs drills IMO, that boy going to be a stud!
Wait is a former nfl millionaire trying to steal from Joe?
You two are just too damn Suave.

# | Teller Demoted? OL Shuffling? VT Football Practice Monday 8/17 Observations I think way to much read in this . We don't know and during camp I would definitely be trying out combos so that if, when the need arises you have guys that have worked together . Saw Smith knock Settle off the ball the other day I am impressed with him . I think with Smith , Osterloh , Nijman , Pfaff and Chung if we can keep the last 2 healthy we are back from the OL despair of years past . If we stay healthy I think the OL will make a big step this year under Searels .
That's it, leg for you!
i'm going to be mr. positive and say teller is on team 2 because he is the best VThas and it gives the 2nd team OL the chance to work with a guy with his intensity.
@ Vtkey -
That's not really how nicknames or traditions in these types of organizations work.
Would you like to talk to her? She'll verify it. Yes, this is how the nicknames worked in this particular band. She's still pissed off enough about an experience and an organization she cherishes, like the OSUMB being drug through the mud in it's entirety.
So here's my complete speculation. Coach thinks Teller's been a little of a distraction and being too much of the "little brother" and not taking things seriously enough. Teller shaves the mullet and will rise to the challenge.
Just reading some of the quotes I was getting the feeling about something like this. I'll be shocked if he's not out there steamrolling OSU though.
@ Hokie Fireman. A word about the nicknames. Nicknames are bandied about for the newbies in a group (like sousaphones) before they are bestowed upon an individual. That individual has to approve of the nickname before it becomes permanent. They have 100% veto rights. My niece, who has a J-Lo backside, was given the name of Ba-donk-a-donk, which she thought was hilarious. It became shortened to "Donk". My entire family wore t-shirts to the warm-up before she "Dotted the I" at the Michigan game that said "Proud Parents of Donk" or "Proud Family of Donk". Jocelyn was one of the individuals interviewed while the investigation was underway, and was cited as an negative example. Her testimony was blatantly ignored & misconstrued. She wrote the university, the Dean, the department, local news outlets, did TV interviews about her nickname & the 100% positive experience the marching band was for her. Jon Waters, the fired director was known though out the band as "No Fun Jon". He was already cleaning up the band "traditions" that were raunchy. He was never given the direct order to rapidly & completely change the band "culture". When the new university president came in OSU was listed (as were 2+ dozen schools) as a Title IX investigation. The U.S. attorney general had recently extended their legal interpretation of Title IX to include sexual harassment in a very broad sense and had notified all universities. Anyone not in compliance stood the risk of losing huge federal grants. Jon Waters got fired, and the university had their Title IX investigation dropped. They had their sacrificial lamb & scapegoat all in one.
P.S. The secret songbook should have been never written or burned decades ago.
Also- as Joe asked in his Tell-A-Thon post this morning, if you like a column like this, please tweet it out/share on Facebook and any other social media. I am going to go talk about it in an AOL chat room.

We saw two clips- the D could have won the other 10. It is hard to tell, but it sure looked like the energy level was with the O by the end of practice.
I couldn't see the cut by Phillips on Kendall, but it was a pretty throw and catch with Kendall in his hip pocket.
Agreed- however things are better all-around if Teller is meeting said high expectations. They need him to be dominant, especially against teams with big time nose tackles. (See Adolphus Washington)
Sounds like the defense had a rough day...

# | Teller Demoted? OL Shuffling? VT Football Practice Monday 8/17 Observations You get demoted to 2nd team, you cut off your mullet.
Wait, wait, wait, wait....
Do I understand this right and we have a OL coach who is actually coaching and trying to light fires under asses and strategerizing and trying to hammer home fundamentals that will benefit the team on gamedays?
That's allowed?

# | Teller Demoted? OL Shuffling? VT Football Practice Monday 8/17 Observations Shouldn't have shaved the mullet, it was the source of his pancake power...
Hear, hear. Leg.
OL depth is probably what has me most concerned going into the year, so if guys are stepping up and earning first-team reps, all the better. I suspect that Teller will be with the 1's when it's all said and done, but if others are learning, I am happy. Searels seems like a high-expectations kind of guy, and I like that.
The comment was intended to be general in nature, not specifically to JUGS...

I'm not sure that this is helpful, but I'll post it anyways. Buckeyes everywhere are appalled. We take HUGE pride in the band. Jon Waters, the fired director thought that this "songbook" was long gone by the time he was director. My niece was a 4 year band member & 1st sousaphone. She is the first woman to "Dot the I" at a Michigan game (home or away). She's also 1/2 white & 1/2 black. In 4 years she never saw this "songbook" and says it is a frat-boy clique passing this shit around. It would NEVER have been tolerated by her, the Jews, blacks, women, gays, general band members at large, or band director. Not in a million years. Another black eye for TBDBITL.
Me- watching SnapChat of today's practice.

Cut it off @ 1:28. Looked like a bad scene that was cut from Van Wilder and I don't care about the exclusion of minorities in sororities. Really? I did just apply for the pool boy position at the house though.
It may be brief, but it sure seems like Searels is trying to light a fire under some asses. Teller was the only guy normally working with the starters that was working with the 2's, AND keep in mind this is with Hansen being out.
Searels screamed at McLaughlin for having way too high a pad level on his repetition in the pass pro drill.
Nobody is as high on Wyatt Teller than I am. The guy has such a unique skill set that I don't know how you don't play him. But, I also 100% advocate for coaches to play the guys who are their best five guys, and Searels went out of his way not to include McLaughlin and Teller as "guys who were playing winning football." And, Osterloh and Nijman sure didn't look out of place.

Frech, I'm with you on some of brewer's throws today.
Watching my phone i was like, "Why the heck did he throw that?", and then the ball went right into the receivers hands, shocking me on several throws.
It looked like Brewer only missed of the throws we saw.
