Thanks but, I did say full bar.

I have 3 different bourbons, 3 different Irish, 2 scotch and a Tennessee.
Certainly appreciate the offer of rescue though.

Just trekked out to my local Giant where I surprisingly found some Hopslam! 2 cases left. Lee Hwy and Spout Run Pwky in Arlington if anyone is looking.

And this is why we should never, ever give up on a recruit, even after he has committed elsewhere.

If others are going to continue going after our guys, we're only hurting ourselves if we don't go after theirs.

Great to see the new coach realizing everything is 'HOKIE' for him now!

thx for the post. Still miss the old graphics but the new graphics
are starting to grow on me (as fast as a glacier)

Well, the exact relationship is still unclear (I'm making it up as we speakstudies are ongoing). But since bH is a unit of length, it is not subject to "equal but opposite" Newtonian forces. However, the relationship between Sam Rogers and the Higgs Boson certainly is, though there are non-negligible quantum effects to account for. As vSR increases, the pull of gravity weakens, therefore the interaction with the Higgs Boson is diminished. As a consequence, the value of bH increases. We're really diving into some fundamental football physics here, and we're just beginning to scratch the surface. We also still haven't accounted for the deformations in space-time that come as a consequence of A.J. Hughes dropping fools like a ton of bricks.

Put a big VT on his chest and that is truly awesome!!

Well, upstate New York here. Didn't start for us until today (Thursday morning). We're so far north, may not get more than 8", but we won't be getting any of the ice. Haven't really had "ice" all winter, it's been too cold for water to form and then freeze. Roads appear to be permanently salted.

Schools were in session until Noon, even though snow was expected to start anywhere from last night until late this morning. Not like down south where everything was cancelled days in advance.

Also we've been getting little tiny, dry flakes this season that don't amount to much as far as depth is concerned. I remember the blizzard of '93 and '96 down in Strasburg, VA from my youth, haven't seen anything like that yet here (only been here this season).

We got about 10" from last week's storm (6.5" still on the ground), and 10" back in December, with 2" - 4" occasionally in between.

With regards to This Team Should Have a Better Record, clearly a team's record is what it says it is. We can't have a better record because we've played the games and the results are what the score says they are. However, I do believe our team would a better record if you were to do a statistical analysis than they do in reality. Even if we have the worst players in the ACC, how much worse than every other team would they have to be to lose 10 straight games, including 5 home games, by an average of 13+ points, with 5 losses by 20+ points? I don't believe our players are that much worse than the rest of the ACC. Now obviously the current losing streak is a statistical possibility as well- one that we've managed to fall in- but I do believe we would be expected to win at least one game in this stretch, and therefore the team has underperformed with respect to wins.

Too bad this team is terrible at scoring in transition. And finishing uncontested dunks.

Sigh.

I understand both arguments, my problem is that the "myth" is a lazy argument, and the response is kind of a strawman.

Of course they're running set plays, every team runs set plays. The problem is that they're running them poorly, so poorly it makes it look like they're not doing anything at all. As espoused in the article, there's reasons they're running them poorly. That said...

The biggest problem is that, as the season progresses, they're not getting any better at running the offense. Of course theyr'e young, but they should be showing progression and they're simply not. They're not getting better. This is the second season in a row that the team is arguably regressing on offense as the season progresses. That's really, really bad.

And from previous threads to support coaching salaries, more facility upgrades, etc. We. Need. $$$$. Revenue (or lack thereof) will probably be the one parameter to decide this.

That's not far off from these reports and descriptions. Be safe up there!

there was already a salt shortage for the region based on previous storm threats

I live in Asheville and work in Burnsville. I can say that we are mostly responsible for the salt shortage in NC. They put down about 7 tons of salt per 100 yards of road here...seriously, before the storm hit yesterday I was driving to work on an inch of salt the entire way. It's absolutely ridiculous how much they dump...and it's all for nothing. Besides this particular storm (about 6 inches) we have had about 6 inches total over the last 2 years but the way they salt the roads here you would think we get a foot a week.

It drives me nuts..it's such a huge waste!

I know you didn't ask me, but as far as I'm concerned, I've seen all I need to see with Coach JJ. The team has regressed from last year, and I am seeing very little progress this season. The kind of recruiting we're seeing right now will not get us to a competitive level in this conference, and we're already on the bullet train to last with blowout losses to the teams directly in front of us in the standings.

One of the first decisions Babcock is going to need to make is who will be our new Men's Basketball Head Coach. We just cannot afford to wallow in such misery for too long.
