Yep, samesies.
If we do get him, this week would end on 2 massive momentum shifting swing days, for sure. First, with the Ohio State situation that should make life easier on us on Labor Day, and then if Tino comes, our WR core looks locked and loaded for the future.
Not bad considering how the week began
Put it this way, Evan is about as close as 247 has to a legitimate recruiting guru. He knows his stuff
I'll believe it when I see him say "The University of Virginia Tech".
Also, Jarrett Boykin was a Hokie. Tino = Hokie confirmed by the Transitive Property of French.
They way I see it, until a few minutes ago when I saw that, I assumed Tino was a Terp for sure. If that ends up true, then I won't do much but shrug, wish him well, and hope we land Patterson. Now, if he commits to VT, then Friday just got a bit better. No-lose situation for me!
And this is why I try not to follow recruiting closely
Tino has a whole bunch of Jarrett Boykin in him. Catches the ball the same way. A little faster, not quite as big yet.
Usually the final poll of the year is released publicly
If this is true, oh man, the offensive possibilities for 2016 onward just keep getting bigger.
Correct. Whoever he chooses, he is a good kid no matter what. Its just that he would be more better in Blacksburg.
Certainly does make things interesting
For anybody interested, I just got an email that a limited number were still available (season OR mini-plan).
They sold over 1,100 mini-plans in the first three hours.
I bet he's a Hokie. Strong ties.
Why do you say that?
Am I seeing this right that Evan Watkins just CB'ed him to VT an hour ago? Evan usually knows what's up...
True to form, things getting much more interesting than originally thought.
No matter what, this isn't over until February and Tino isn't a bad kid. So let's not get crazy.
He won't be.
I took the success of his office as part of the irony of the show, not proof that Michael was a brilliant manager.
Hokie, Hokie, Hi?
Fingers crossed!!
Hokie.

This post is a question for the advanced brewers on here. I'm looking into making a citrus hopped sour Saison for the Ohio St game. I want big tropical/citrus hop flavor and aroma with minimal bitterness. I'm thinking Galaxy, Citra, Pacific Jade, and Rakau hops added late to the boil, whirlpooled, and a dry hop. I'd like the hop profile to mix with a peppery pale Saison and some Brett and lactic acid sour.
My main issue is time. The game is 5 weeks away now, so I'd have to brew this weekend for anything decent to come of it. Plus, I'd like to develop as much sour character as possible by then. What's the best way to obtain the notable sour characteristics? I know Brett can take longer to develop its character. So, my thought was sour mashing, adding acidulated malt, or adding lactic acid to the boil to add a base sour character (and removing the need for Lactobacillus at all). Then, I could use a Farmhouse-Brett blend of yeasts in the primary and let the Brett flavor develop over time.
Any thoughts and comments are greatly appreciated!
It's really weird, but sometimes the South Main Kroger in Blacksburg will have a couple cases of KBS about a week after they originally came out. I might have bought 8. Maybe the same happens in Richmond? I don't remember which Krogers have the best beer selection in Richmond. But, I recommend you try this.
What everyone really needs to try and find is the Founders Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS). This beer is out of this world. It's pretty much KBS, but they age the beer with maple syrup in the bourbon barrels.
Any updates? I have a meeting to go to in like 10 minutes! I can't wait another hour!
