# | Hokies Camp 2015: First Day of Practice Notes, Quotes and Observations 
Recent Comments
I mean I guess if 180 degrees is the best you can get, maybe 200 is 10 degrees closer than 150. Therefore, Frank is a math genius.
I think a lot of people changed their names without me knowing. I only get snaps from one person now.
This is what I get for going with #marinades instead of researching the material myself ha
I have a feeling this was supposed to go in the ACC power rankings thread??
That has to be the worst user interface I've ever seen
Not sure why its so successful
Yea, but you can see the game on the other TVs in the parking lot.

# | Frank Beamer Transcript from Day One of Hokies' Preseason Camp "I firmly believe that there comes a point of no return. When I first started out I wasn't coming out of the office until 11 or 11:30 p.m. When it came to the game I was so tired. All of a sudden you get to the game and you're not making good decisions because your mind is tired. I think he's doing a better job of that and he needs to. He's sharp as can be and after a period of time your game plan is as good as it's going to be, now let's go execute."
Words of wisdom for every coach to live by.
A lot is being made about Brewer's play after Ohio St, but maybe there's something to be said for how Lefty went last year. With a new kid, and working himself to death in the office to the point where this was said... Maybe if he's got a clear fresh mind on Gamedays (like he had in Columbus) our playcalling will be significantly better this year as well, putting us in position to win more games.
Me and (Brewer's) chemistry went through the roof compared to last year, so I think it's going to look like night and day."
If night is 709 yards and 6 TDs, I can't wait to see what day is.

yeah, you caught my not-so-subtle subtle hint there as to why I am interested. It's hard to say those kind of things without coming off like a douchebag.
I am not a huge fan of the ending of TD2 to be honest. I knew the "who" killed Caspere was going to be the lesser interest, as to the thing that tied everyone together. And that to me is where it fell short. I see a lot of gripes about killing off Frank and Ray, and really I don't have an issue with either being killed but I plot points in the finale were off for me.
Frank and Ray go rogue and blast a log home full of baddies black ops style. Then they separate for some reason when they are both going to the same location. Yeah, Frank wants to get the diamonds for the "just in case" but it's not like Ray can't know that. Ray wants to see his kid one last time. Frank could have talked him out of it or spotted the car while he did so... and give the man the suit. Just palm the diamonds and take them with you. how hard is that.
no worries. I get that the show isn't perfect but yeah I was looking for more specific critiques. Question on the story telling though, binge watching aside, do you think the show would have been "easier" to follow had it been a Netflix type thing that was released all at one time? You could watch as many as you like when you like.
I traded, begged and did everything I could to get off the medic units for the game hours. Every medic call with a transport is a minimum of an hour away from the firehouse.
Do the coaches think that even the slightest bit of media coverage is a distraction to the players that they don't want? Why else would they shut the media out? I can see a coach thinking that the Media is a needless distraction. I'm not taking sides here, just speculating..
"They look the part. They do things easy. From this time last year to right now it's like 150 degrees better, no I'd say 200. Being a math teacher I'll go 200. They're really good players."
Beamer's math game is on point. I can't even math like he does.
Despite missing the point here, I couldn't be more excited to see our offensive (and defensive) line step up this year. Shoot, that matchup might be worth a pre-Labor Day visit to Sacksburg.
Funny, that was in '99. And you know what, we made the NC game. And the $EC takes their FCS game in November every year, and they still won 7 in a row. A lot of lip service, but never seems to really hurt beating the FCS schools.

# | Bitter blog - Small but tough, RB J.C. Coleman has proved his doubters wrong The SC of him doing the squats was insane, team went nuts. Hopefully he sustains the success from the end of last year...
Also, just look at how brutal their schedule is this year. They play both FSU and Clemson from the Atlantic. Combine that with the fact that they lost a lot of talent on offense, and I just don't see how they are so overwhelmingly the favorite in the division. I think our game with them will decide the division, but I think the division is a lot closer than some make it out to be.
Andy,
Out of curiosity, why do you care about the 15 minute media access that you are encouraging VT to show you nothing of real interest (clearly I'm nieve about the industry)?
Because when you play teams like 1-AA James Madison, you only have yourself to blame

# | "Whit Babcock interview: Hokies' AD on Beamer's energy, recruiting, future" Article I do the same. It does help.
but but we are transitive national champs... duhh
on a non "homer" mindset how many OSU fans will arrive to the VT game?
IMO i would say anywhere between 5-8k, that sound about right?
