Not true Hokie Brethren. The only way to beat that which haunts our football dreams is to confront, engage and talk it to death in TKP thread. While painful, it is the only way.

Watch the Ohio State game and see where Ford missed a tough but very catchable deep ball down near the goal line (albeit he did make that nice move and catch to get us a long 3rd down conversion on the other end). In the same vein we keep hearing from the OSU crowd we also had players such as Ford who got better as the season went on. He wouldn't have missed that ball in later games. I'm salivating over the possibilities of this year's receiving corp, Ford, Phillips, Hodges, Cline, Mallek, and even Knowles if healthy.

Mmm. I think he needs to add weight. What is Ford, 150?

OK I found this buried post. Many great responses here. I repeat what I had said, God's Speed. You did what you thought was right.

She is a great dancer.

I think a big part of that was not having space in the pocket. When he was able to step up to make a deep throw the ball was much more accurate and generally thrown to the right spot for the coverage. The other part of that was his inexperience. If you look at most of his early ints on deep balls they were because he threw them to the wrong location for the type of leverage, inside or outside, the defender had. Later in the year he did a better job of getting the ball to the outside when the DB had inside leverage and vice versa to give the receiver the beat chance at making a play.

BBQ drenched in gooey or runny red ketchupy sauce is bad to me. Yeah, I could usually eat it if that was all that there was, but I'd never choose it. Proper vinegar sauces made with peppers and salt and lightly applied are what I look for in a good BBQ, but I can eat good chopped or pulled BBQ meat with just salt and a little pepper if it's properly cooked and properly blended, meat, fat, and skin-wise. Individual tastes dictate the wide variety of BBQ sauces, and most folks will gladly argue for their favorite, but seldom give in to someone else's idea of good. This is a discussion with no end, no compromise, no true consensus.

Terry Williams will stand out to me as the best defensive player I've seen us play against in recent memory

The Yellow Jackets hit the reset button with all their skill players, but Thomas returns, along with four starters on the offensive line. That might be enough for a team that never seems to have a shortage of running backs capable of taking over.

I wouldn't rule out the skill player effect. CPJ's offense relies a lot on blocking correctly all over the field. If Foster can confuse the new kids a little, that could really be critical for us.

But damn we don't play them until Nov 12. By then they'll probably have it together. Preparing for Bud's defense is like preparing for GT's offense, though, we'll be a new challenge for them whenever they see us first.

Ford is going to be nuts. We'll only have him this year and next.
