Also Dan Devine gave the filmmakers permission to make him the bad guy in Rudy. Supposedly, he was the one who actually insisted he get to play. I've read that he considered Rudy a friend and let them portray him as the devil to help his movie get made.

Plenty of movie ideas get scrapped in the long process of production anyway for various reasons. Just because a studio has optioned it doesn't mean it'll ever be released.

At worst, I see us as being the same as Tennessee in The Blind Side.

You could tell by the replays that he was provoked, but that doesn't justify shoving a fan. There should be no interaction at all. That's what I was trying to say; you're on the road, people are going to say stuff to get under your skin.

hate to be a pest and keep updating this, but its still looking significant, id expect most of the snow to start Wed night and go into thursday. Euro is pointing at 10" my prediction which im feeling more confident about would be around 9".

Im really happy this one worked out, feels good to get an extended forecast correct

Hokieshibe's picture Hokieshibe | 12 years 5 months # | Who is your FAVORITE Hokie Defensive player of all time and why?

Mines probably Macho Harris - I was a student while he was here, and there were so many times where there were games that were just painfully close until he got some incredible pick to just save the day. Especially in 2007, when Flowers had left, and he came back for his senior year. He was one of the only play-makers, and it seemed like he always made one when we needed it.

I know he's not the best defender that ever came through here, but he might be my favorite.

Others that got serious consideration - Kyle Fuller, Cody Grimm, Adibi/Hall

I've been thinking about it from the SEC standpoint. Why would they want to do this? Most teams in the SEC pad their out of conference schedules with FCS and LOLUVA-level programs because of the grueling nature of SEC football. At first glance, most teams would balk at the idea of giving up a guaranteed home game against a bad opponent in exchange of a home game with ACC opponent every other year. If I were an SEC coach, I wouldn't like giving up my flexibility.

Then I realized how this could make sense from an SEC standpoint: money.

Theoretically, the ACC covers the following markets that the SEC doesn't: New York (Syracuse), Boston (Boston College), Washington DC (VT/UVA), Pittsburgh (PITT) & Charlotte/R-D (UNC, Duke, WF, NCST). That represents the #1, #6, #9, #23 & #27 markets in the United States.

If you make the SEC matchups into neutral site games (instead of home games for the ACC), the SEC would expand their influence into the north and make a ton of money in the process.

Here's what I'd like to see happen:

1) Keep the current ACC/SEC matchups. That includes:

Georgia vs. Georgia Tech
Florida vs. Florida State
Kentucky vs. Louisville
South Carolina vs. Clemson

2) Create the following matchups based on market size:

Syracuse vs. Alabama (Neutral Site: Metlife Stadium)
Boston College vs. Auburn (Neutral Site: Gillette Stadium)
Virginia Tech vs. Texas A&M (Neutral Site: Washington DC)
Pittsburgh vs. LSU
UNC vs. Tennessee & NC State vs. Mizzou (Neutral Site: Bank of America Stadium)

3) Fill-in other matchups that make most geographic sense and/or create the most compelling matchups:

UVA vs. Old Miss
Duke vs. Vanderbilt
Miami vs. Miss State
Wake vs. Arkansas
