Does it make you feel better to know Luther Maddy got the scholarship earmarked for Anthony?
Apparently this actually does sum up Torrian's feelings pretty well. The guys (read: not posters, sane people) over on 247 were saying that Torrian just didn't see him as a fit for what he likes to do with his DBs. He was important for perception, but not necessarily for on-field success.
Tyson's, at this point, is solely commercial. They're trying to change that, which will take a lot of time, but I don't think it's fair to compare a populated city to a mall and office buildings.
That being said, I gave you a leg because I agree, Tyson's is a mess.
I agree in general, but outside of maybe the Miami game and perhaps the ECU game, none of those plays/losses were because of scheme. Heck, Smelter was supposed to be double covered on that 4th and 15 play and both guys misplayed it in coverage.
The injuries to Facyson, Williams, and Maddy and the play of their replacements, along with the recruiting misses over the years that accompanied them, were arguably a bigger factor in most of those losses.
With this play, I suspect (then very young) Kyshoen Jarrett was supposed to pass off the H-back going in motion to Michael Cole and follow the RB instead. I don't think one player was just supposed to be unaccounted for by design.

# | Report: Suspended Virginia Tech RB Shai McKenzie Expected Back with Hokies in August You are correct.
Risk vs reward... the team, and Shai, have everything to gain, and very little to lose from his sitting out a year. Time heals all wounds, literally and metaphorically. Trey, J.C. and possibly Travon shoudl be able to carry the load this year. (Hell, I'd even sit Marshawn. 2016 would look nice with that fully healed and raring to go 1-2 punch.)
Except at the end of the day, you're still an Eagles fan. :)

I could recommend all sorts of sours for you! I looked into this beer, which I have not had the pleasure of tasting. Based on the beer, I have a few recommendations.
A good start is lambics. There are a wide variety of lambics. There are fruit versions as well as Faro and Gueze which have no fruit in it. Gueuze is blended from several different years. A great example is the Oude Gueuze Tilquin L'Ancienne. It is pretty tart and has a good pale malt background.
Maltier sours include Flanders Red (like the Rodenbach Grand Cru or Cuvee Des Jacobins Rouge) and Flanders Brown/Oud Bruin.
Allagash brewing makes several delightful sours. Their Confluence Ale is a good blend of sour and typical Belgian yeast. I had their Golden Brett a little while back and it was very tasty. A firm and clean malt with a delightful sourness from lactobacillus bacteria (giving lactic acid) and Brettanomyces (these are used in the Great Divide fermentation).
If you're looking for a really easy sipping summer beer, check out the Gose style. It's a sour German wheat beer with a little salt and coriander. Anderson Valley makes a couple. One is a standard gose. The other has blood oranges added. Boulevard brewing makes a pretty good Hibiscus Gose as well.
If you ever happen to be in the San Francisco/Bay Area absolutely go to Russian River! Not just for the world renowned IPA, but the brewer makes kick ass sours with his own mix of sour yeasts as well.
I could keep going, but I have a feeling this is a good start.
Maybe the farm I went to was atypical. It was a positive experience for me.
Agreed, just got one from an Amish farmer and was pretty shocked at the conditions. Wouldn't call it a puppy mill but it was pretty bad.

disclaimer, I do not condone any illegal sex related behavior
Youre right, I didn't mean the issues were comparable.. I really mean these stories make me feel similar.
As to your massively offensive comment, I've heard more white people call for the name change than native american associations, although I have not been following it for 20 years.
He is a top player (18th to 40th rated CB), but I saw on another site that he ran a 4.58 40 at a combine. That's not exactly elite for a DB. I suspect he has posted better times than that at camps and workouts, and he does appear to have good cover skills. Regardless, this doesn't look like a "can't miss" guy. But if Urban recruited him, he saw something he liked. I'm interested in finding out what he knows that isn't apparent.

# | Report: Suspended Virginia Tech RB Shai McKenzie Expected Back with Hokies in August The same girl involved in Gavion's case was also involved in Payne's charge.
The older guys should've known better but this 15 year old girl gets around.
Where in VA? Northern VA is very different than the rest of VA
The Amish have gotten into dog breeding, it's bad ju ju. It's puppy mills. We got our dog from a group taken from one.
Upvote on Amish people. We got our puppy from an Amish farm in Pennsylvania last summer. Aside from being a little slow-ish, they were extremely nice people and gave us a well cared-for puppy.

# | Report: Suspended Virginia Tech RB Shai McKenzie Expected Back with Hokies in August i think i read somewhere it was consensual sex so he didn't force it.. no idea if that's why he got off the student misconduct but that talk is for lawyers and people that understand the stuff and facts.
"yes we lost all, but we overcame and we're still here"
so I get what you're saying about the Chicago fire...but in the case with the Redskins, that sentence looks more like
"yes we lost all, but we overcame and we're still here"

# | Report: Suspended Virginia Tech RB Shai McKenzie Expected Back with Hokies in August There is no situation where having sex with a 15 year old is less bad.

# | Report: Suspended Virginia Tech RB Shai McKenzie Expected Back with Hokies in August Don't be so quick to judge. How would you feel as a freshman if a girl, who looks your age, lied to you about being 18 and in college, brought you to her house to engage in sexual activities only to have her dad find out and file a suit. Yes, Shai should have been more careful and I don't have all the details, but given the shady circumstances, you've got to wonder. The part about the girl's family being content with his punishment makes it seem like they got what they wanted; a young boy to be taught a lesson without ruining his life.

# | Report: Suspended Virginia Tech RB Shai McKenzie Expected Back with Hokies in August Yeah, the adults are responsible in abuse cases, not the adolescents. That's the way that works.

# | Report: Suspended Virginia Tech RB Shai McKenzie Expected Back with Hokies in August Its pretty clear McKenzie deserves the second chance. Girl involved was, according to the charges, 15 to 17, her friend has done this several times...how many guys over 18 got with a 15 to 17 year old? a willing one, and in a situation where the student hearing didn't care to continue charging him. The important part of this whole thing, is being cleared by the student hearing, thats what determines whether you get to stay or not, we saw it with shit vick, and theres no reason to think it won't still be the case.

# | Report: Suspended Virginia Tech RB Shai McKenzie Expected Back with Hokies in August Okay, so he was convicted of having sex with a 15 year old...but cleared of student misconduct? Then maybe we should rewrite that student misconduct policy to read: "Don't have sex with 15 year olds."
I thought because he got off from the student misconduct hearing that he didn't do anything. 15 days in jail says he did something. No thank you.
Really?
I mean, why not just start a thread about the history of the colonoscopy? That would be more pleasnt.
