AF, writes a good article interpreting Whit's comments as well. I have to say I agree. I think we'll see an up and comer that most have never heard of. I think he will try to build a program around and for that individual and attempt to create the bball version of FBeams, minus the alumni connection.
I like this approach.
By the time you turned to the game it was too mainstream and not cool any more
So I turned too late then is what you're saying?
if anything the low is gonna develop to late and miss us to the east offshore. Temperatures are looking like they'll be low enough, im not saying 20" are going to happen again but there's definitely a chance that there could be some accumulation. the euro is saying its probably going to hit Tuesday night now, with the Blacksburg area getting the 4-5 inch range just south of us in the mountains of NC will get 7-8" along with the central Virginia area. Of course this is all if the forecast holds up.
northern Virginia will probably be looking at the 3-5" range as well. it looks like it will all be passed over by Thursday night and should head off the coast.
more updates will be coming later
Wait, without the sexual tension??
I take back all my upvotes.
^^^^ The reason I left TSL ^^^^
What about Russell Turner from UC Irvine? 43, went to Hampden-Sydney, and is from Roanoke, Va. Was an assistant at Wake Forest, Stanford, and the Golden State Warriors.

# | Bitter blog - NFL hopefuls to work out today for scouts at Hokies' Pro Day Not sure your detailed assessment is 100% but when I watched the combine my continual thought was that I could have found better commentary at the local Applebee's but without all the cutaways to interviews to guys I didn't care about instead of watching the guys perform I did care about.

On top of everything against this guy, they gave him $2.2 million annually for six years. It has a $5 million penalty if he leaves before 2 years are up. I already wanted nothing to do with Pearl and seeing these financials just is icing on the cake. Glad this didn't happen.
Alright guys and gals let's get back to topic of original post, he said some things that he shouldn't have but he's entitled to his opinion. A simple down vote could have sufficed, I realize I may get some as well for this post, but LET'S move on!
He shut out them singlehandedly until the first TV timeout. They were throwin up wild layups and missing terribly just because of his length forcing everyone to alter their shots.
I turned to the game and immediately saw him playing defense... and a little guard drove right by him for an easy layup.
He is a freshman though.
I think this is fantastic. We've all been there, whether it was a party we crashed, a hotel hospitality room, or walking into a private club like you own the place. Kudos to him! The greater the risk=the greater the reward.
If someone could please photoshop Kam Chancellor in for Bam Bam or hitting someone with a turkey leg, that would be great.
Man, I never thought to let them poop.
Any chance, assuming this projected system brings precip, that it affects Central Virginia? Or would it mainly be to the west?
They poop BBQ sauce and their tears taste like gravy
I don't like downvoting people but that guy deserved it. I try to upvote anything I even remotely like since it's just like Facebook liking without all the sexual tension.
I joined this community because its overwhelming positivity and general fun/goofy attitude even though basketball isn't really a focus (I hope it will be after this new hire(hint: new basketball only writer hint hint)). If you are into college basketball like I am there's a 7 foot 6 inch center playing for UC Irvine on ESPN2.
I hear Recruiticorns taste like Turkey.
Dammit, you just cost us no less than 3 5* recruiticorns.
MY GOD, MAN... WHAT HAVE YOU DONE

# | Bitter blog - QB guru Whitfield on Logan Thomas' pro day: 'I thought he put on a show' I just wish more Hokies understood this, and I've argued it many times face-to-face.
Mayock I thought fell from his perch during the combine. He clearly was searching because he hadn't watched enough tape the way he had in past years. He'd punt the usual confident assessment to other guys like Kurt, who isn't a tapeworm at this point in his life either.
On the exchange about "lazy footwork" Mayock punted the footwork assessment to Kurt who handled it like a hot potato with comments that seemed to mean something different to each listener and then it came back to Mayock who said there is not much there.
Not much there because they hadn't watched the tape? because a guy dropping back without a snap to throw a 40 yard pass just doesn't need alot of footwork? because they wanted to see some faux Gene Kelly dance moves from Logan? because when LT3 was dancing in our "VT special collapsing pocket" - translated in English as "unblocked pass rusher", he looked like he had poor footwork?, because he went from sophomore year timing passes to get open and I'll throw it to you during his Jr and Sr years?
Sorry, but I watched alot of the combine and Mayock sucked this year in general. He and Rich fuddy duddy seemed like the HS nerds annoyingly having shown up and being given airtime. Terrible pairing. They should have stuck Mayock the film nerd interjecting his film study into a revolving cadre of former NFLers and Rich fuddy duddy. That way Mayock could have stuck to studying film, the former NFLers could lend their expertise and personality in an appropriate way and the whole affair could have been carried off more credibly. Mayock has zero personality, and what he has mirrors Eisen, with the lack of film study this was the worst effort I've seen out of the NFL network to date.
Look at Whitfield's resume of guys he has worked with. Certainly you could say that he overreached on the WR, Johnny Football, and LT, but really? The guy certainly could have found some guys who were more of a "sure thing" than LT3. Doubt he takes this risk without believing that LT3 has the goods to get it done at the next level.
It will be interesting, who is right and who is wrong. Mayock was a R5 plus kinda pick. Big hair same assessment. McShay seemed to suggest 3rd round maybe 2nd. I think McShay will be conservative (2nd or 3rd). Mayock and big hair saying that some idiot will pick him is a cop out. Let them displace that idiot if they have superior wisdom and judgement. Will never happen, because they don't.

# | Bitter blog - QB guru Whitfield on Logan Thomas' pro day: 'I thought he put on a show' He was saying this offense had some challenges the last couple years. And Logan didn't necessarily have a ton of help.
Best series of comments ever.
