It's not how many stars you have, it's how you use them. Someone should tell Mike London.

On second thought, don't.

THIS! So hard to avoid hearing anything about the game! My wife did NOT understand me screaming at the TV while watching a game I had recorded hours earlier. Because it makes MUCH more sense when I scream at the TV when the game is live (hundreds of miles away).

Hahaha. This was post-ECU loss. I'm telling you, this guy is a character.

I have to confess I find the USCw fight song catchy. *runs for cover*

Love it. I'm going to call attention to this little part here for when you do the write-up for Maryland:

UNC Chapel Hill (or just UNC, because they're kind of arrogant; they make everyone else add the city after the UNC part)

... because the Terps do the exact same thing. What makes it worse is that, unlike UNC-Chapel Hill, the Maryland-College Park campus was NOT founded first (that would be the Baltimore one).

But then we'd be getting into too many facts for a respectable feature such as this one. :)

The same reason why a player goes from 3 to 4 star when Alabama, Texas, Florida, or Ohio State offer them a scholarship or visit.

The Hondurans and the Salvadorians still don't like each other very much. The soccer match was a tipping point, but the real background behind the war was all about fighting over a contested border. They've ironed out the border issues, but they still hate each other's soccer teams. Fortunately this World Cup cycle, El Salvador did not qualify for the final elimination round, and Honduras is on the verge of qualifying ahead of Mexico after beating the even more hated Mexicans on their own turf. Needless to say, the Hondurans are feeling very good about themselves, since soccer is the ONLY sport they care anything about down here. I have learned to appreciate it, but I never watch it for entertainment.

Now let's get back to talking about how VT is going to destroy UNC this week and send those class-skipping, test-cheating, preseason over-rated, defensively challenged, Coastal champ wannabe's playing for that basketball-focused excuse for a fanbase, back down to crappy hill, NC.

true story, i dont remember what game it was but it had to be in 08. my wife was about to get her master's and was interviewing for jobs. we tailgated and then sat in the east stands, so we were out in the sun all day. we had forgotten sunscreen and she had two peel off tattoo vt's on her cheeks. she had to interview that week with a tanline vt on each cheek. classic.

It just goes to show the size of the gap between coaches and the guys they pay to rate these guys. It's pretty big. I think Virginia Tech has one of the best staffs for finding these guys and recruiting them. We never get a flashy class (by star-standards), but you have to remember who makes the class flashy at first. Then just remember who molds the players into what we see on the field on Saturdays. That is when you realize how meaningless those little stars are.

For a little perspective, Johnny Manziel and Marcus Mariota were both three-stars.

People outside of Blacksburg really suck at evaluating talent. That's why he's a 3-star.

The thing is, Caleb was struggling as much or more than the current group of WRs. We'll see what we get there with Facyson, who actually did play WR (and was pretty darn good at it) in high school.

Brilliant!
