Headed to Clemson/FSU with some coworkers! Thinking up a good sign for gameday.
This is the stuff of dreams....Sooo, Enter Sandman!
I would never buy Duke anything
Giving you +1 for this. Duck Fuke.
Accompanying my wife to a workshop in Richmond. Good thing that it is a bye weekend.
Man I must be learning something by reading these things. My thought during the play Logan bounces outside instead of picking up the 1st down was, "man they are gonna rip this apart in the review. Why didn't he just go inside?" Pretty sure that lead to Cody's 48 yarder though, which was the most I've cheered for a field goal to go through the uprights.
Winning is the ultimate goal and I think this offense will figure things out. There are still plenty of games left and plenty of more excitement to be had.
He is still around so it's not like he can't give some pointers when asked. Same way with Bruce Smith being "around." Just because they aren't a current coach, doesn't mean they aren't a coach.
Awesome post!!
no shit .. all day my ass
How about the Eddie Whitley wrestling smash? That was near the goal line vs. GT right? The camera angle on that is amazing, im surprised the cameraman doesnt get hit...
I thought our erudite Cavalier colleagues were experts in all aspects of the English language!
I may be bitter because I'm actually a huge Chelsea fan, but Torres can't score league goals. He had 7 last year if I'm remembering correctly, and he has yet to find the back of the net this season in the Prem. He killed it in Europa League, as was already mentioned, and maybe it was all due to the mask. But he's just a disappointment when you think back to what he was capable of with LFC.
o shi*!
I didn't know he had parkinson's...
I can has grammar!!!
Lando IS cool!!
Re: the forum assignment
It probably won't let you put it in the football forum because it's a blog post. Good piece though!
Only if a story broke that UNC-type shenanigans were going on and they never even got a sniff at a decent season despite it all.
Absolutely. I started watching soccer probably my junior or senior year of high school and fell in love with the way they play. Kuyt was such a hard worker, Gerrard doing Gerrard things with Xabi Alonso in the middle. I think they would have done a lot better the last couple years if they had someone in the middle with his ability but its finally starting to turn around.
I watched about an hour or so of the match vs Crystal Palace then drove to Lane and watched the UNC game.
Hokie soccer definitely assisted in my liking of soccer as I went to a lot of matches my freshmen year when we had Patrick Nyarko and went to the College Cup. Watching those matches as well as playing FIFA helped me learn the rules and strategy better.
Parkinson's will do that.
You've nearly got 1,000 legs. Don't worry about the voting - it's pretty irrelevant, and you probably got down-voted from someone fat-fingering on a cellphone.
ESPN is reporting he won't need surgery for the time being. No time table on his return.

# | Bitter blog - A couple of "Battle at Bristol" stories, with contract details It's in the contract that we can. It was actually quite common until games started going on TV in black & white, making it more difficult to differentiate on the screen. The season opener between Tennessee and NCState last year was color vs color.
Anybody else think Jim Weaver's signature looks a little bit like the signature of a 3rd grader who just learned how to write cursive?
ha i remember seeing those things when i was a little kid. i remember thinking billy dee was really really cool.
B1G officials? At least it isn't the Pac 12. Yeah I'm looking at you, Sugar Bowl guys...
Interesting that Loeffler used a bit of the pistol full house or cross, which seem to be called diamond formation these days.
My thought, and I tweeted this to Mason today, on the running game seem to be squarely on the running back. I asked Mason if he thought Loeffler didn't have any confidence in the running backs, and his response was he think Loeffler doesn't have confidence in the offensive line's execution of running block.
My reasoning on the running back is this: last week, we talked about how the running backs seem to be missing holes being developed elsewhere instead of hitting, what I am assuming, a per-designated hole in the running play. So it'll be interesting to see what other think.
I had someone tell me two interesting observations. 1) He noted that the running backs seem to be running with their head down instead of looking up and noticing a hole being developed else where in their peripheral vision, and 2) he also said that since running back need to be fast before receiving the hand off, needing less than two seconds to hit the line of scrimmage, it seem the running back are slow at getting there, and by then, it's too late as the defense has crashed the line and it's a loss of yardage.
I honestly feels this offense is suited more for a spread type of offense where they dink and dunk their way down. The first touchdown drive is an example of that. I also think that Loeffler is trying, in some regards, to mimic the New England Patriots with the way they spread the ball around and using a bit of running game to keep defenses honest. I just don't think the team has the personnel to be a hard-nosed powerful running offense just yet.
One thing is for sure, this offense is perfectly content at being boring, even if it drives all of us nuts.
