Yup, I definitely use this as my primary source of weather information now. My friends all think I'm super smart when I correctly predict weather patterns on gameday now. Don't think they've figured out why I can't do it all the time...
All I know is that every game I watched him play, Winston made a couple nice plays, but the plays his teammates made FOR him for outweighed his contribution. Shoot, if Jimbo had just stuck to running the ball in the NC game instead of putting so much on his freshman QB, that game wouldn't have been close. There is no doubt at all in my mind that he's a talented QB and will be very successful in his college and likely in his pro career. However, I also think he's just a tad over-hyped at this point.
I know that Winston was the only new guy on FSU's offense. EJ Manuel had those same guys and didn't quite make it as far as Jameis did.
I would be really excited with Danny Manning.
Gotcha, but weren't all of those guys were on the team the year before he became the starter? I am honestly asking that question. I do not keep up with their roster.
Bringing a coach we can't afford into an undesirable coaching job won't fix anything. I don't see Johnson being fired and even if he is, we won't be getting a coach everyone's excited about to replace him.
We need a coach to make us middle if the pack ACC, not Worst Hoops Prifram in Major Conferences. There are tons if coaches who could do that. When JJ is released next week, will any BCS team pick him up as their HC? Of course not.
Comparing the budget limitations with upping Grimes and hiring a competent basketball coach totally lacks context. How much $$ does JJs program destruction cuts us every year? 18 games, 2,000 seats, $45 per seat = $1.5m a year. That's not considering the revenue suck he is on the hokie club. Not having a competitive hoops program is causing significant damage to our athletic program across the board.
As shown, Grimes could be replaced by a comparable OL coach within the current budget. Seatles won't be costing us any revenue vis a vis Grimes.
Time for a change.
Finney-Smith also named 6th Player of the Year in the SEC this year, but watching him yesterday against TN brought back memories of his 0 for 20 (+ or -) streak his freshman year in Blacksburg. No points and 5 fouls.
The team was stacked all the way around. But without Vick, we most likely go down against West Virginia. I know Shane made the kick to win it, but Vick put that game on his back to get us in that position. Vick revolutionized the game of football at the qb position in my opinion.
Same with Auburn when they had Cam, or Texas when they had Young... or let's look at Mike Vick who got us to the National Championship game. One player can make a difference on a season.
I'd say that's a bad example. Winston was great because of the unbelievable amount of talent around him. 3 NFL OL, 3 NFL WRs, 2 NFL RBs, and that's just on offense. But I see what you're saying. For example, Cam Newton took a BCS bowl/10-win team and made them into a national champion team.
#9 I have to say I 100% disagree. National Championship teams have a special player or two that pushes them over the top. If FSU doesn't have Jameis Winston, do they win the title? No. That's the answer.
No matter where you finished, you're ahead of the Boohoohoo. And that's what counts.
Clutch movie reference for St. Patty's Day.
we used to go up to boston for st patty's weekend for a few years in a row there. dropkick murphy's would always play all three nights at the avalon (they may still.) anyways i was at one of those shows waiting in line for a drink or a tshirt and someone taps me on the shoulder and asked, "hey man, you a hokie?" i was wearing a vt hat and was like "yeah man, yall?" they told me they had just gotten to town from blacksburg and came straight to the club, but still missed the show. that's all i got.
Exactly
Great picture.
You look strong, like you're starting your kick and making your move. Dukie guy looks gassed.
And uva dude looks like he's eating your dust.
Everyone I know had been complaining about Stiney as OC since about 2005, myself included.
MV7 was special yes, but even w/o him that team was stacked
I don't really know anybody other than Frank B that wanted to keep Stiney as OC.
Eddie has really turned his life around since he was suspended in the 2010-2011 season. While he has been highly criticized by fans, I have never doubted that he is a great person and great student. Whatever he does after college, I have no doubt that he will be successful.
we would be a pretty stacked squad if everybody stayed. sigh
all hail the queen
I think that rule means something slightly different. It means that unless you have a full team, you're not going to win the national championship, even if you have Michael Vick. Think of it this way. Imagine Michael Vick is on the field, but all of the wide receivers are long distance runners and all of the linemen are javelin throwers. That's not a team that's going to succeed.
