Was it called the crackhouse?
Sounds like a great space for you and the guys. Enjoy your selection, their company, and the upcoming fantastic Hokie season.
They are who we thought they were since 2008.
Wow...just...wow. The fast forward button on the podcasts is a godsend for his show...
don't be ashamed...it was a poorly structured joke and the math was pretty terrible in retrospect. Here, have some legs :)
Couldn't agree more about the RBs. Redshirt Marshawn and Shai.
If Shai tears his knee again, he could be done for his career. Get both of them to 100%.
A while back I emailed Kyle Bailey and suggested having a segment with French on some x's and o's. I figured it would be just as interesting if not more interesting than Keith Welton's financial droning. Kyle replied, kindly I might add, that he didn't think that sort of thing would make for good radio. Needless to say, I'm glad someone else thought it would be a good idea. Excited about checking it out!
Fixing up the place is partially for them...and they get paid in gatorade and a place outside the house to veg once its done. But if you want to help, I think I've got some beer I can share!
this season or next, for sure. We have so much talent this season, but a few holes (safeties, O-line backups come to mind). Imagine if we have a pretty good season, but all our young positions get some work? What if anyone who can do so stays around for next season? We lose some key seniors, especially from the D-line, but if we can get their backups some work this season and they look promising, then we're poised for an awesome year next year. What happens if Lawson comes in and impresses? Not earn the starting job or even playing time, but just looks great for next year. If I'm Frank and things look promising for next year, I stay for one more season and go for the title.
Or we could just go undefeated and send him off with the championship this year [kicks back, sips koolaid]
And you're sending two teen age boys out there? I volunteer to chaperon!
I say this, for me, I find this situation very difficult. I love Frank as a coach and a man, he has been a great representative for my beloved school and I don't want to see him go out in any way poorly. My wish would be that we have a great season and he chooses to step down, retire and have a great retirement. This very seldom happens and it is my fervent prayer it does.
That's why God made TIVO, innit?
PIE!

# | French on the Bench on ESPN Radio Blacksburg today (7/20), Updated w/ Podcast I have a confession to make....this past weekend, I was jonesing for football so bad, I ended up watching at least a quarter of the Penn St./Indiana football game on BTN. My self-worth went down a few notches because of that.
🏝NO BAD DAYS🏖🤙

Excellent analysis and break-down as usual, French! In the immortal words of Howie Long's character in the movie "Broken Arrow"... "Deak" (I mean, French!)...you da man!"
He just needs to get away from reporters and get back out on the football field where he belongs
He says his health is good. I'll take him at his word until/unless it is proven otherwise.
I see what youre saying and i think you could be right. Just keeping my fingers crossed and hopes at reasonable levels. I think the pieces really could be in place this year and i have no doubt beamers been working himself like a dog. The only problem i have with your analogy is that in my experience pulling on a bungie chord results in painful results, maybe even losing an eye.
i don't know from jokes
Hopefully you aren't living in the complex where homeless people live in the laundry room in the crawl space.
I had my first meeting for high school football officials yesterday. The itch is getting unbearable.
Man Frank looks like he's aged 15 years since the surgery...he looks so frail. His mind seems sharp as ever though.
I don't know...he hedged quite a bit last year - even after the OSU win. IIRC (and I'm paraphrasing big time), he said the team could be good, but needed to improve. He was right, but injuries derailed any really opportunity to get better.
He also said last year that this year's team would be good. One could argue that he said that as an emotional rationalization after the Miami loss, but I don't recall him EVER saying that before.
I personally had Stacey Searels recently say essentially the same thing to me as Beamer said. And my sense from hearing Bud Foster also speak recently is that he has a quite confidence about this team.
