Where would he be in rehab at this point? Could he be doing any lifts involving his legs like squats?

No flies, really? It was TERRIBLE when I was there

Hmm sports teams. So what do you have that people who aren't from Ohio care about or want to be around?

Dude, I went to Ohio because I had a wedding to attend. It was an okay state. For the swarms of flies, the 60 degree evening in July, and the general attitude that "Ohio is better" which is pretty thick with.......lots of people from Ohio, apparently...... I don't really care to go back.

As far as not being accepted unless you're from the south, if you treated southerners the way you wrote about them on here, I am not surprised that was your experience. Bless your heart.

I agree however our offense has always been most effective when we could efficiently run the ball and of all the quotes and stories I've read this year about the improvement of the Oline and the passing game I don't think we have that running back that can step up and take over game in and game out. We simply don't have anyone on the roster with the talent of a Ryan Williams or David Wilson or even a Branden Ore for that matter. I'm hyped up for the Defense this year but I think we should keep our expectations in check for an offense that last year was one of the worst I've ever seen. That being said I still feel confident that we will beat anOSU lol.

Shockingly enough, scouting is one thing ESPN tends to do pretty well. They're big, national, and have (yes, debatably) zero interest in any specific program (such as VTScoop for 247). Of course they still have their misses, but as far as recruiting services go, ESPN is definitely one of the better ones. Rivals seems a bit past its prime, Scout I think is still hanging on and 247 is definitely getting up there.

Last year I left work at 4:30 in Greenville, NC on Thursday and arrived at my aunt and uncle's house in Mt Sidney, VA 5 hrs later. The next morning my uncle and I got up early and started our trek to Columbus.

Turning out of the driveway, the first song that came on (sirius satellite radio ch 34, lithium) was Metallica, Enter Sandman. We both got jacked. I had a great feeling leading up to the game and that sealed the deal. We were all in.

Strangely, I feel even more confident for this one. LET'S GO HOKIES!

ThunderingHokie's picture ThunderingHokie | 11 years 4 days # | Bitter blog - Braxton Miller's position switch adds more intrigue to Hokies' much-anticipated opener against Ohio State

True, but does Miller have the size to handle the amount of hits per game an H-back typically takes? Roscoe Parish was an excellent athlete for the U back in the early to mid-2000s, but that dude got lit up a bunch, which made him liable to turnover the ball (see Deangelo Hall Miami 2003). When Miller was playing QB, defenses had to focus on him passing the ball first, and then worry about him running. Now, every time Miller has the ball, it is most likely going to be him just running the football (although I do expect to see some trickery). This means that he could find himself being tackled by 3 or 4 guys on multiple plays, depending on how many times he touches the ball. A quarterback (and yes, I still consider him a quarterback) is not supposed to have this happen, unless you're Logan Thomas, of course.

First, Miller knows the responsibilities and executions of the H-Back position since he had to know them as starting QB. Second, Miller is as fast and quick as anyone on the entire team, including Marshall and Wilson (and Wilson isn't quite as fast as he's made out to be). Third, no one on the team--and few in the entire country--has the open field moves Miller has. He has always be referred to as a RB playing QB. As a Buckeye fan who has seen every single game, start to finish, that Miller has played at Ohio State, I can assure you he will be 100% ready to assume the starting role at H-back.

If you can continue to pursue it, fishing will never let you down. Escape, stress reduction, etc. are but a bit of it. In my case, it's a legitimate addiction, but I believe it is never less than a worthy endeavor. I could tell fishing stories from today until the day I die and never tell them all. Not every thing you do can afford the same inspiration.
