The Next Coming of Albert "Flatonhisface" Haynesworth...
really like the idea of naming the practice facility, or something important, after him.

No big money at the start? Sure, it's not 60 million dollars, but I'd say upwards of 12 million dollars isn't bad, especially considering most college graduates average salary is around 45 thousand dollars.
My point being, if you're in line to make 250+ times as much as someone your age, you should probably be willing to work your tail off to get it. I don't exactly see Clowney doing that.
Normally I would have said no way that the Giants would potentially even consider taking LT. Still have Eli, just drafted Nassib last year, but then I read this. Maybe I'm reading this through orange an maroon glasses but I feel like Reese is talking about LT.

Miami's punter had more reps than him. So did Brady Quinn. I'm sure several of the DBs will end up with more reps.
With the new Rookie contract rules there is no big money at the start. Wow, did they need to make that change how many franchises were set back years with one mistake in the top 5 of the draft. Jamarcus Russel anybody?
It's amazing that he would call out Logan's work ethic in an article that he put such little work into.

The only thing that should be on the side of Lane Stadium is a horse. On a treadmill. Running.
They'll either need to beat Clemson and win two in the ACC tourney or beat Clemson, upset Maryland and win one at the ACC tourney to get to NIT basketball. After winning at UNC, I can see either happening but mostly likely the first scenario will have to happen. I hope they pull it off because I'd love to see another banner up in Cassell.
Or his "want" when he signs that first contract, probably for many millions of dollars. Will it show up then?
Because it didn't show up at all this year, in essentially what is his job interview.
he has bust written all over him. he has the physical tools to prove me wrong, but if i was a GM, i wouldn't take the risk. if i could get the right offer to trade down, i'd take it all day.
his "want" is what makes me uneasy. where will his head/heart be when things don't come easy for him? the NFL will be a wakeup call, and i wouldn't be willing to gamble on what his response will be...
That is how it is every year. The only people that really show up are the organizations that are there "cheering" and the families of the participants.
My bad, respect also to Irving Linwood Peddrew, III and Charlie Yates.
POAT.... Pegasus On A Treadmill.
GO HOKIES!!!! ~8)
Best thing I've seen all day. Looks like a Sam Rogers version of Andross
Excellent article, thanks for sharing. It's hard to imaging VT in these terms: "I've seen the enemy and it is us," but thankfully Claiborne - and more importantly, Mr. Dobbins - broke the mold. Proud to have him as a Hokie, and hope his children followed in his path.
Now that's inventing the future.
I think you're onto something ... it could easily convert to a drive-thru and
we can use the airspace for as a pit-stop for tethering zephyrs for re-fueling too. GO HOKIES!
It would only be fitting if Oregon had the right to this bowl every year....
I 100% agree with all of the above. So far the only evidence I've seen towards him being a "physical specimen" is that he's fast. The bench press numbers, while they certainly don't say much about football ability, are most definitely not "BEAST."
I'd be a little less bothered if ESPN talked about how beastly he is and showed actual good plays, but instead they show that one blown play by Michigan, and put up combine numbers that are hardly impressive (again, except for the 40 time), if not downright embarrassing, and then say he's the greatest thing.
I have never really seen why that play is so impressive to ESPN. Yeah, the hit was hard and knocked the helmet off and he recovered the fumble. It's more horrible blocking by Michigan than Clowney actually influencing the play. No one is even so much as looking at him and he runs straight through a hole and hits the back during the exchange. There has to be a better play that showcases his ability better than that if he's actually the best thing since sliced bread.
I really like the idea and design you've done.
However, in our effort to expand our national brand, we will probably sell the advertising space to Zaxby's or Stop-In.
Great Article. Thanks for shedding light on that part of VT history! BTW - Strock and Burnop graduated with the class of '73.
