Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Tapp the reason Bud doesn't give the lunch pail to individual players anymore. Tapp won that thing for at least a year straight. One of my Hokie shirts still has a faint sharpie outline of the number 55 with "Lunchpail" written above it.
I talked to a guy that works at the track this weekend and he confirmed that there WOULD be seats on the track. Oh, and they are trying to work out where to place two big replay screens.
I was waiting for someone to ask about Alston Smith. While I have heard plenty of reports about how well Alston performed after his transition to guard, I have not seen him take a single snap on offense. If he looks good in the spring, I could certainly revise this.
I really like Pettit and Pffaf as well.
I was just trying to make a joke and get Isaiah to change his mind. I hear he reads all my comments. You can obviously put a price on food.
Did you mean Wallace Tower? Waltrip is the entire opposite end of the loop. Thanks for info, just making sure I know what your talking about.
rivalries have to be considered. you cannot break up the oldest rivalry in the south (uva-unc). i think a simple fix to your alignment would be to swap uva and l'ville. Pitt-uva could develop into a great annual game and so could l'ville-VT.
that said, i've always agreed with CPA in that N/S is the way to go. it's a marketing decision as much as it is a competitive balance decision. you want divisions to be easy to understand and talk about nationally, outside our region. B1G realized their mistake and fixed it quickly. Pac12 considered a zipper model before realizing N/S was best. we should do the same.
North:
BC
'Cuse
Pitt
uva
VT
UNC - NCSU
Dook - Wake
South:
Miami
FSU
GT
Clemson
L'ville
NCSU - UNC
Wake - Dook
you only protect the 2 NC rivalries. with a 9 game schedule, VT would now play Miami, FSU, GT, Clemson, and L'ville at least once each every 3 years (NCSU and Wake would be 1/3 as often). most 5th year seniors would have played all but 2 of the south teams home and away when they graduate. not too shabby.
you could stick Miami in the North as CPA wants to do, but that would impact how often FSU plays northern teams which i think is bad for the league.
Wow, too much testosterone in there!
Any others before I give these guys a deep dive?
I've always had the opinion that the division isn't bad if they just moved a few teams. Move Pitt to the Atlantic and Louisville to the Coastal. Then swap Syracuse and UVA. Then major cross-division rivals stay preserved (despite how annoying it is). So your division is like this:
Atlantic--------Coastal
===============
BC-------------Cuse
FSU------------Miami
Pitt-------------Louisville
Clemson--------GT
UVA------------VT
Wake-----------Duke
NCSU-----------UNC
Now each division has 1 team in Florida, 1 in the Northeast, 1 team in VA, and 2 teams in NC. Pitt and Louisville could be swapped and GT and Clemson could as well.
He's next to Alston Smith.
While I agree that our campus food is unbeatable, I'm pretty sure football players EVERYWHERE get fed pretty well. My ex gf's dad played guard at Purdue and he talked about how the team would all sit together in the athletic building and be fed feasts of great food all the time...food that was never available to any regular students at Purdue. Just because another school's campus dining isn't as good as Tech's does not mean that football players there aren't eating good food.
Daft punk reference? +1
This game is so big, they should double the size of the field. Try maintaining a 175 yard drive vs. LPD. Wait, we have to score to win....never mind.
divisions only matter for football. do 4 trips/year really make any noticeable difference when you consider once you are on a plane, the costs are pretty much the same regardless of where you are flying? FSU has to fly everywhere, i believe, same with Miami and Boston. GT's only bus trip is probably Clemson. when you consider divisions are only for 4 road games in 1 sport, i don't think travel expenses should weigh in on the decision at all...
What about the old dude getting up in the front row, " What the damn hell! You better step back!"
Hmmmm.
I was just thinking 'where is Gallo?'
Caleb played WR until early last summer when he switched to RB. Mangus switched from RB to WR last spring/summer and the went back to RB in August when JC went down with his sprained ankles injury in August.
About $4.50 for broil, mashed potatoes, and broccoli,
I thought Caleb was the receiver and that Mangus had always been a RB?
So you have the division with relatively low travel expenses and the division with the highest travel expenses?

# | Bitter blog - Recruiting swoon in 2010, '11 catching up to Hokies; VT gets walk-on kicker commitment from Blacksburg I think every fan and recruit knew that VT had gone stagnant over these years. It's amazing to see just how little these recruits have been able to contribute, but I am REALLY excited about this years class.
They've got to thin our RB depth chart. Suggestions? I think Mangus moves back to receiver. Caleb should get a look on defense such as safety or whip due to the lack of depth/experience at safety.
I still think a straight N-S realignment makes the most sense. At the end of the day, Clemson, Florida State and Georgia Tech all want to be in the same division. You fill out that division with the NC schools and throw Miami in the North with Boston College and Syracuse, where they wanted to be in the first place. Add in Louisville, Pitt, UVA and Virginia Tech and the divisions are probably fairly balanced most years. Right now FSU and Clemson are the cream of the crop, but Louisiville doesn't suck and you never know when VT, Pitt and Miami will return to prominence.

# | Bitter blog - The best a Hokie has played in the Super Bowl? Chancellor has an argument Carroll Dale had 4 catches in those two Super Bowls. Four. man, how times have changed.
Actually I meant what I said. It is Wallace Tower that is the new stands and can be kind of scary during high winds. I thought those were listed in the pricing, but I see that I misread and that it is the Waltrip section that is listed for the HC tickets.
Hopefully they reserved the Wallace Tower for UT fans. I think a good halftime show would be the tape of Payton Manning throwing Kam Chancellor's INT from Sunday over and over and over again.
