I think he might be a tad slow to be an every-down back for VT, but he definitely looks like he could offer another athletic fullback option for Loeffler to use. He reminds me a bit of Evans/Oglesby. Hopefully he can work on that straight-ahead speed, get on campus and show us what he can do.
Can't forget about their Va Tech. I want to seem them call Georgia Tech, Ga Tech.
I don't think that is going to matter. The only game times Weaver can set are the ones that are only on ESPN3. Usually those are at 1:30 and rarities. ESPN controls it all - no matter what times we print on the schedule. Usually they say TBA.
I feel your pain about the no Thursday night though, but Weaver has requested one for next year and moved the tOSU game in '14 and '15 to get a prime time slot. Things are improving.
Best part of the week. Every time.

# | Bitter blog - Turnovers, missed plays vex Loeffler; Facyson practices at full speed You can't fix stupid.
Even among Oregon fans (someone posted the article on here yesterday, I believe), there are idiots who want more from their team. People expect college football to be just like their X-box NCAA football games, where the players execute at the highest level constantly and there are only 5 or 6 plays you need to know to absolutely dominate.
Let's face it, the players are human and they have a whole ton of stuff on their plates. I played rugby for Tech, and I can tell you anyone who believes that athletes can just get up on gameday and perform at 100% all the time is as delusional as a UVA fan hoping for a conference title in football. It's hard to do and the fact that these guys can do it even the majority of the time is amazing.
I really hope someone fat fingered your comment, because it's so true... now if only to reduce the misogyny levels a bit :(

# | Bitter blog - Turnovers, missed plays vex Loeffler; Facyson practices at full speed The problem with those slick sexy offenses is that BEAMER doesn't like them. He doesn't want one, and as long as he is in charge we won't have one. PERIOD.
As for the Oregon teams domination, how many players have they actually put into the NFL from that scheme that have stayed? If a player has NFL aspirations, I think they are better off going to a pro style school.
Wasn't that our bowl game vs. Louisville?
SQQUUUUUUUUUUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPS.
Seconded, especially Sunset and Deep Ellum.

# | Bitter blog - Turnovers, missed plays vex Loeffler; Facyson practices at full speed First, I appreciate all the reporting being done by Andy, but reading through the comments on the blog and also McFarling's blogs, it's all I can do to keep myself from throwing the computer against the walls.
People have clamored for years to have a change in the offensive staff, and we got it. Yet, some of those folks are bitching about Loeffler with the same compliant about Stinespring. They are casting a wishful eyes upon sexy offense like Baylor or Oregon and saying we should be like them.
Jeez. I think comments on this site is far more levelheaded than at those blogs. Makes me appreciate y'all, TKPers.
Put me down for the under on the LB tradition reference. I'm thinking pre-game. And, if the book is entertaining it, put me down for at least one "snot knocker" reference from Mr. Mike.
Good post, brother.
DO YOU LIKE PEANUTS?
only philly has a better group of beer bars on the east coast, all btwn 2.5 & 6 miles away from bc.
publick house, sunset grill, deep ellum and lord hobo all recommended
Seriously. Who slanders geographers? What a douche.
On said effect games - for example - the white out game - they could place white shirts for all, and also design a "VT" using maroon shirts - those things always look cool for TV.
Seconded. The Hokies churn out some damn good geographers.
Agree- I think there are some small steps that the University could take to help with the dwindling mentality of the students. I think it could start with how they award student season tickets.
...so the coach is smart!
Great as always, Mr. Fuller. I humbly submit some additional food recommendations:
Awesome post-game drunk food food near BC: Eagles Deli
Pretty good BBQ, a "short" ride on the B-line away from BC: Soulfire BBQ
No, sHE is not talented!
Don't forget 98 UVA and oh god that Syracuse loss was so freaking horrible.
But, sorry, not to be this guy, we lost to Duke!
The only pep rally you need before a game is going downtown the night before.
Yeah, same here, I was in line for a long time because of hold ups at bag check. I didn't have a bag but still had to wait. Ended up trying to get around to the other side of the stadium to get to my seats during the flyover. I love them planes.
