i think you may have misunderstood me. i don't want to replace my cable box. i want my cable box to add Roku/appleTV apps/features to create an integrated cable/streaming experience. the bandwidth for cable still allows for a better live TV viewing experience IMO. streaming is catching up, but it's not there yet. i just hate switching from cable to Roku and back to cable. i should be able to treat my streaming experience like a cable channel. esily bouncing from a game on ESPN3 to a game on CBS to a game on the ACCDN to a game on ESPN...all from one remote through one device.

Good comment on the espn hate. If we want to be more respected...win more games! If we're undefeated, they will have to talk about us.

Yea, it was crazy. I still got out to tailgate, but had to duck into the tents during the squalls. Fun times, fun times.

Those are much more palatable reasons than "we have young players" or "our attendance will probably suck."

If I had more time today I'd try to do that comparison. Sometimes these advanced analytics don't end up telling you much more than what the basic stats would.

I'm hoping the weather doesnt cancel VT's spring game this year. Lots of recruits and fans will be attending. I could careless what UVA does.

I don't think anyone's a 100% lock, but I think it'd be a little much to expect the freshmen to unseat him. He's athletic and developed enough to be a solid, consistent receiver as well as a decent playmaking threat. All of the new guys look like they'll be very good for the Hokies, but picking up the college game is a big task. I personally don't see Stanford on the bench a whole lot this season.

I'm gonna do it, because we know what you mean, but it can be misconstrued.

re-signed - signed again

resigned - voluntarily leave a job or other position; or accept that something undesirable cannot be avoided.

If they weren't two VERY different meanings, I wouldn't have said anything.

Sounds like the coaching staff needs to make a visit to Weenie Hut Jr.'s...

HUGE thunderstorms came through that day in 2012....raining so hard you couldn't see the car
parked beside you.

The decision of how good the offensive line was determined by using the adjusted line yards (defined here http://www.footballoutsiders.com/info/glossary and explained here http://www.footballoutsiders.com/info/methods#aly). So yes, there is a certain amount that is determined by the back, but the adjusted line yard factors in what the OL was responsible for. Due to the effectiveness of Oregon's system and execution, their offensive line statistically looked strong despite whatever level of skill or technique they had.

Tech has had a couple cancelled in recent years. One, obviously, was following April 16, 2007. Then, I think in 2012, it was cancelled due to weather.

He made great plays against the zone more often than not if I remember correctly. He lacked in separation in man coverage as did all our WRs. I think he starts with Byrn but I am not saying that he is a 100% lock to be the guy at X all season. JMO

Spring game is for more than just showing off your team - it's potentially a major recruiting day. It's a chance to show prospects how awesome your fanbase is. The only reason to cancel one is if you feel like your fanbase is not, in fact, awesome and that showing recruits an empty stadium would do more harm than good.

It was a shoulder injury of some kind. I don't remember the details, but it required surgery. The talk around the Jets blogs was that he had a good shot at making the 53 man roster before the injury sidelined him. I'm still rooting for the guy, I'd like to see him make a team.

I'm pretty sure this list is extremely similar to any "rush offense vs. rush defense" list we could compile, and honestly doesn't tell us a whole heck of a lot. But hey, it's the offseason, so rankings and lists 'n stuff. Woo.

I would question how superior the Oregon offensive line was. I think their skill position players cover a lot of issues so the numbers that offense creates look fantastic, but when they played a team with a solid D (Stanford/Arizona), they got punched in the mouth.
