JJ can leave anytime he wants, so by no means is 'keeping him around' unfair to him.
Bottom line is I don't see a better alternative. Who are we going to bring in, how much will they cost and where is the money coming from?
Wyatt Teller is a monster, Dadi is a freak of nature, and these numbers also show why Facyson is great at recovering.
4.40???
The core TKP Team and its growing set of journalists have all done a fine job for us in the Hokie Nation to maintain our sanity in the world. Happy Birthday and Thank You.
And on Pi Day! Wow! how did that happen?!
I like what i'm reading!
We have another limo company here in hoo-ville called Wa-hooptie. /sarcastica font We're so blessed like that!/sarcastica font
I agree, this is a winner.

JJ wants to run up and down the court. For two years and bc of a variety of reasons, we have killed the ball and tried to limit possessions (so the opposite of his preferred system).
JJ wants to use an intense man-to-man D to constantly pressure the ball. Instead, we have played a conservative form of the 2-3 to survive. It limited exposure to foul trouble (specifically for Devin and JVZ) and also slowed the game down.
We played good defense and rebounded well, but as I noted in the article, the statistical improvements can be attributed more to the "bend but don't break" defense and less to a true improvement in the teams defensive prowess. JJ implemented a system that allowed the team to keep games close and improve our chances to win.
How do we know there won't be improvement? Do you have a magic 8-ball? New players in that he has recruited for his plan. He was involved in previous recruitment yes, but that was for Greenburg's plan not his.
He has 3 years remaining on his contract, most schools wouldn't be extending a coach with 3 years remaining. They do it during the second to last year most times.
Isn't that the damn truth! I'm so glad TKP was born. Happy Birthday!!
Happy Birthday TKP! It's a shame a website can't party hard.
Additionally, I would like to point out that TKP went live on Pi Day.
Did LOLUVA win something?
Sorry to correct, but that's a B-52, not a B-2 on your avatar.
Holly Anderson and Holly Rowe are both very good and I forgot who I was reading for a minute. Until I realized Anderson has more of a blogger writing style and Rowe was more formal journalist.
With that picture of Michael Brewer, I'm surprised there weren't any jokes about him joining our National Championship Bass Fishing team.
Cheers to the greatest Hokie site on the internet! And a huge thank you to Joe, the leader of us all!
And it's a Friday no less. Time to party, TKP style!
I can't even begin to tell you how much work our current team put in last season
And I can't even begin to tell you how much work I alone have not done thanks to this site. Thanks for making each day at work better.
happy birthday!

# | Bitter blog - ESPN's Kiper: If QB doesn't work out, Logan Thomas could be a TE down the line Are you saying we might be getting a Zombie LT as TE? Because that would be awesome.
Admittedly, I cannot speak knowledgeably about the X's and O's of our team's strategy, but there have been moments of promise (first half against Michigan St, our recently increased defensive efforts, etc). I don't think Coach K, Boeheim, Williams, or Dixon could have been much more successful with this roster.
If we could afford/hire a proven commodity to replace JJ by the end of the tournament, I would support the move. That doesn't mean I view JJ as a 'Lame Duck' Coach, it means I don't think the athletic department has another choice. Who else would we hire? How much would they cost? Where would the money come from?
OK, +1, for knowing how to make it. I was just playing around on a Friday.
If you're making cobbler in a round pie tray, you're doing it entirely wrong. Deep, square/rectangular dish is the only way to do cobbler. Also, it is an independent since it differs entirely from pie as it lacks a bottom crust.
Bud's taking lessons from Jack:
No, thank You. It's great to be a part of a community of like-minded (and smart) people.
