I know. That's what I was thinking too with all the lamposts.
Sam Rogers isn't included on any curve. It just wouldn't be fair to subject the other students to the fact that he scores 200% on every assignment.
Gotta disagree with the Glennon part. His arm strength was weak.
Koofers use Sam Roger's class notes.
a lot of people i know who root for other acc schools and have made the trip to cassell have said the same thing to me. you walk past lane and it's beautiful, then you walk into the cassel and it's kinda meh. i think if the funding were there we should do what gt did with a complete renovation/update. (get on it babcock! haha)
a heel i know put it best when he said, 'it's a home court advantage, it's not a recruiting advantage.'
While we do need a new arena, BBALL will always be a number two to football, being that that is the sport that is bringing the most money into tech athletics
to seth's credit, i've never heard or heard of him saying anything negative about vt publicly.
This is how I feel as well. If you want to get into a sports career (broadcasting, journalism, marketing), then make lots of connections while playing the sport. The opportunity will come if you're ready to seize it.
Yep, UNC appears to be the most competition for him but he is considered a strong Tech lean.
He is the lowest paid coach in the ACC and as long as he retains the underclass players this year, he will get it turned around.
I don't see how that amounts to JJ "turning it around," though there's no clarification as to what you believe that means. If JJ gets another year, will he win more conference games next season? I would certainly hope so. Are we looking at a team with in the top half of the ACC? Personally, I don't see that happening. To me, "turning it around" next year and getting 4-5 ACC wins isn't enough though.
Is having two full size fields nice? Definitely. Is it absolutely needed? No. It is always nicer to have a lot of space to spread out on but in this case it is not necessary to have two outdoor fields along with the indoor facility the way they are planning for it. Right where the football fields are we have run out of space. As for the negative recruiting part (mentioned somewhere in this thread), it is going to have a much larger effect on any recruit to see those doors open up. Just like the reaction in Jurassic Park to the gates opening or to pretty much anyone's reaction to the VAB. when a rocket rolls out. People like to see big things move.
As for running full scale special teams, the highest punting average over a season was by Chad Kessler (LSU) in 1997 at 50.3 yds/punt Having a 75 yd field is enough to compensate for this and if AJ decides he wants to break that record, we have Worsham still and the fields can be changed. Special Teams are never practiced at game speed, so the field won't be torn up and kickers/punters already practice in Lane except for warming up.
Ideally, Athletics would've coughed up some money to build a new roller hockey rink and tennis courts before destroying the current ones and built the indoor facility there.
We are supposed to be looking good with him, correct?
Legs for both of you ^^. I feel better.
4 star RB Deshawn McClease also goes to Oscar Smith. Pulling in one could help with the other as well.
I may have been a tad hyperbolic when I said it may be better than those two shows. The problem with comparing it to every other quality show out there is that it is only eight episodes. Other shows have had the luxury of full seasons to really get into a groove and define their characters. Game of Thrones was pretty awesome out of the gate, but it has taken time to truly reveal its complexity. Breaking Bad was not nearly at its apex in its first season. True Detective had to come out swinging in terms of really gettng to the essence of the two main characters. That may contribute to its quality since there is no time for narrative side-trips. It is like comparing novels to a really great short story. They are just different animals. So, what would you actually compare it to? I do not know of any other mini-series type show that can hold a candle to its quality. I think American Horror Story was in the "television mini-series or movie" category, but is somehow simultaneously ridiculously terrible and fantastic. True Detective blows it out of the water.
True Detective just seems like a unique experiment that has been very successful in the first five episodes. The key is if they stick the landing. After that, I am curious if they can maintain the quality into the second season with an all new cast.
As for the show so far, my money is on the Tuttle family being involved in the King in Yellow cult and that Cohle dropped of the grid to try and find the truth. I won't say anything else to avoid spoilers for those who have not yet watched.
Actually, it wasn't CFB's first two years, 1987-1988, that almost led to him being fired, it was the back to back losing seasons in 1991-1992. Since the dismal 2-8-1 showing in 1992, Tech hasn't had another losing season, although we came very close in 2012.
It was pretty much expected that we were not going to do well in 1987 and 1988 because we were dealing with the NCAA sanctions resulting from Dooley's creative scholarship record-keeping.
Johnny Thomas & Logan Football?
The tagline for the show is something like "You can't touch darkness without darkness touching you." In the last episode, Reggie Ledoux says "you're in Carcosa now." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Inhabitant_of_Carcosa) Taken together, I think we're going to see that one of the two detectives ends up being a killer (not necessarily THE killer). McCounaghey wouldn't actually make sense, because if it was him, we wouldn't need 3 more episodes to get to that conclusion. Nobody seems to think Harrelson is the bad guy, so it would make for the perfect season-ending twist.
Er, my bad. Got confused there. Thx.
It was essentially a one-man job creating and writing this season (which is unheard of in television). It was designed essentially to be an 8 hour movie, fit for binge-watching once it's all been released. Now that it's a hit, it'll likely draw extra writers so that a full run season would be more feasible.
I don't think anyone penciled in Brown or Holmes last season...they were out of it for us pretty early and I'm certaintly not penciling anyone in this year. It's just a dream scenario. That's why I added the Angels in the Outfield quote...
Are you referring to the Craigslist Killer?

True. He probably knows him better.
