That's easily one of the most infuriating things I've read recently. Let's all just not associate with South Koreans for that reason. Yeah, that's a good idea, right? The fact that people would take that (which has made VT and Hokie Nation one of the most unique and special communities on the planet) or even the support of the Mizzou community and spin it so negatively is absolutely outrageous. If a recruiter tried that crap on me, I'd know immediately I didn't want to play for such a crappy human being.

If Vick would have played that year, it's doubtful that we would have been in need of that 2 point conversaion.

But one could speculate otherwise, for sure.

Ok, US versions of dumplings are almost never stuffed.
In Asia, dumplings are and have been for a long time. I'm familiar from when I lived in Japan.

I think the reference to Asian dumplings to be a bit forced though as the contact between Asia and Poland would have been quite minimal. Which is why I wasn't thinking from that type of dumpling.
Pierogi would be closer related to ravioli than gyoza anyway.

The only real contact Poland would have with Asia would be the Monghols and it's not really one of those foods that would be introduced in that manner.

Stuffings for pierogi get too much influence from typical Germanic foods than Asian in their common meat based stuffings.

I think that the recency of his Super Bowl run has clouded some thoughts about the other 2. Bruce is the man, and can be mentioned as one of the best D-lineman of his era and maybe even all time. Before Vick killed his career (and dogs) in that head shaking catastrophe of poor decisions; the NFL and their marketing machine was grooming him to be the face of the league, not just the Falcons, the entire NFL. He was right there with Peyton manning. I think he had just posted a 1,000+ yard rushing, 1,000+ yard passing season, had minted a 9 figure deal to be Atlanta's QB, released his own Blacksburg edition of Nike's, was freaking everywhere on TV in adds for all sorts of things.

I know Qb is the glamour position, and safeties don't get the love they should for their impact. But no way Kam takes over the top spot. Unless Seattle rips off a 3 peat and Kam wins some defensive player of the year awards and a Super Bowl MVP. And even then, people will still be talking about Vick and "what he could have done" instead when they think of VT football and its impact on the NFL.

IMO Vick #2 was far more talented than Randall. Our offense in 2005 was really really good. Obviously he had the wrong attitude, but again, IMO his 2005 season > Randall's 2004 season.

For one: We probably would not be blaming Ernest Wilford for the dropped pass in the Miami game in 2001...
