A lot of teams exchange game tape behind the scenes, so what French is doing is no different from someone DVR-ing the game, watching it on WatchESPN, or getting the tape from another team. If French were providing film breakdown of Super Secret plays - such as the Annexation of Puerto Rico - captured from a camera phone that the Hokies are running during closed practices, THEN we would have an issue.
I understand your concern, but French is doing these sorts of things in his free time with publicly available media (thanks to BillDozer's hardwork, of course). That's what Graduate Assistants are (barely) paid to do.
No disrespect to French, but if a FBS team's coordinator has to come here to strategise on how to handle us then they probably don't deserve their 6+ figure salary.
Not gonna lie, I was a little sad to see Arkema come into the game. He's not won me over.
That's what I was thinking....
If we did the research, and are allowing our team to wear new helmets each week, it must be acceptable, right?
And don't you think there is enough $$$ in the NFL to find helmets to match the fit for a throwback game? Of all of the big machines out there, I would think the NFL would be able to find a solution to make it work, even within the concussion era.
Only time will tell. I'd love for this to happen, and I'm seeing myself taking Friday off regardless of outcome, but at least this would make me happier and actually enjoy Friday.
Ok, I'll give it up. I'm really Paul Johnson.
I don't know who this French guy is, though...I just come here for the sweet .GIF's.
Okay, but they also had Tajh Boyd and that freak of a WR called Sammy Watkins that you can't really overthrow.
We also had 4 interceptions and a fumble recovery. It was a pretty awesome game.
I just heard the voicemail. I can't repeat what Bud said, so I'll just summarize how it went with the use of a visual aid:
I'm not a lawyer so I'm not positive on this, but I think he's good. As far as I know VT only trademarked the logo with the colors in it. So I don't think a silhouette of the logo is against the rules.
I just can't believe no one beat me to it.
This isn't Italian soccer, refs aren't getting bribed in college football. And even if they were, there are 7 refs on the field. One ref can only do so much.
Hokies +6.5
LSU + 3.5
Bama -16.5
Irish + 3.5
Wildcats +8.5 (Huskies caught looking ahead to Stanford)
Wisconsin +7.5
She may not, but don't rule out Andrea doing the honors.

So a guy goes into a bar and wants to bring his dog in with him. The bartender wouldn't let the dog in and the guy pleaded with him saying the dog does tricks.
BarTender: "What kinda tricks does he do?"
DogPatron: "Well he likes college football..specifically, he likes teams from Virginia; Virginia and Virginia Tech"
BT: "Yeah, okay so what kinda tricks?"
DP: "Well when Virginia wins a football game he'll run to the end of the bar and back on his hind legs. When Virginia Tech wins he runs to the end of the bar and back on his front legs."
BT: "Okay I guess that's kind of impressive, he can come in"
So the BT talks to this guy for a while and then realizes that at some point these teams have to play eachother..what happens then?!?!
BT: "So what happens when Virginia and Virginia Tech play each other?"
DP: "Well when Virginia Tech wins he does back flips down to the end of the bar and back"
BT: "Wow that's really cool!...what does he do when Virginia wins?"
DP: "Hmmm..I'm not sure, the dog's only 9 years old"
I can't tell if this is a reprimand or simply a comment, lol. I wondered the same thing, and ultimately, VT's research is what caused me to dig deeper. How can the University that leads the world, pretty much, in helmet research let their team change helmets when the NFL is not allowing it? So yeah...screw the NFL
If we really did bribe refs in big games, we're really, really, really bad at cheating....
Definitely.
The last time they beat us, Miami thought they still had swagger.
I don't care if that IS a troll thread. I don't talk that level of trash about your team. Don't talk it about mine. Guess the time in Atlanta is permanently Chop Block O'Clock

All that matters is that we'll be king of the mountain by early December.
Especially when you're allergic to dairy products like I am. Took a long time to get that waived before I went into the ARNG
Ouch...great big ouch. I'm assuming he was making fun of us doing the "Hokie Pokie" and not reminiscing about his childhood as I initially read it.
