Neither am I, actually. But I think he'd be the best immediate option. Bucky Hodges for the future, maybe?
What about red skies at morning, sailors take warning?
Well, to be fair, they're using it as a metaphor for their degree programs.
Play no football in college yet = You've earned a scholarship offer!
Do no work in college = You've earned a degree!
EDIT:
1) I guess Mr Samantha Ponder kinda proves this wrong, though.
2) I guess FSU isn't quite Oklahoma State.
oh snap
I was an NES kid, no Commodore 64 here. But I remember it as up, up, down, down, left, right, left right, b, a, select, start. Two player.
I'm not a fan of FSU's use of Landscape for a letter.
Working in IT at a small college, I'm surprised at how often I have students >25 who don't know how to do the most basic computer tasks like add an attachment to an email.
12 years ago today, I was in history class, in Alexandria. I remember our assistant principal making the round to inform our teacher of something, clearly making him distraught, but he handled it well and proceeded to teach class as :"normal." I remember us thinking that there was some sort of teacher in-round that made him uncomfortable,but nothing of note. Boy were we wrong. Cell phones especially in K-12 were around but not nearly as widespread as today. By the end of the period rumors began to spread of rumors that were bigger than what we could process. First the WTC and then the pentagon. My mother would always inform me of her schedule for the day and I remember instantly realizing, after I made sense of what was going on, that she was going to do a briefing at the Pentagon that day. It was tense for a moment but I got in contact with her and found out that she had went to get a physical at the time of impact with the Pentagon. I remember that feeling of relief, as well as the feeling of confusion as to how we could be "touched." That was the day that I realized the great U.S of A was as human as any other. To this day, I feel as though many have not kept this in perspective. As I post on a webspace dedicated to sports, I must do my part to bring into perspective that we are just as vulnerable and clueless as our counterparts in other countries, we feel we are distanced from. The world is a small place and getting smaller. I feel sometimes we are shielded from that. With that said, God Bless America and I love this place more than I can express & GO HOKIES. Thanks for all that made it possible to post that, NEVER FORGET
haha there actually is some truth to that you see typically red skies are associated with high pressure systems and since the sun sets on the west and high pressure systems travel west to east in the northern hemisphere that means the next day is more likely to be clear! a lot of wives tales actually have some truth to them
I was expecting Ted Turner and was wondering when he'd grown a beard:
I remember leaving an early class in Hutcheson and starting to walk around the Drillfield to go to my house on Harding Ave. I'm typically lost in my own head, especially early in the morning, so it's crazy to me that I even remember overhearing a couple guys walking by talking about the structural integrity of the subway system and even crazier that the memory stuck with me. As I rounded Squires and headed up College Ave a girl hastily pulled her car over bawling hysterically. I got home & turned on the tv. Unless football is on, I typically ignore television, but I don't think I moved the rest of the day.
They have an unfair advantage over myself as an average Joe
I will repeat what I said in another thread...the early returns are positive, and leave it at that.
It could be fool's gold, or actual gold.

And the most obvious statement ever by HC Tom Coughlin:
"David Wilson must show better technique in practice to keep his starting running back job."
Up down, up down, left right, left right, b a, start son.
red sky at night, sailors delight...right?
I have posted roughly 27 #CapitalOneHokie facebook challenges about which position the Hokie Bird should play and why. This should be a total of about 675 points. I really have entertained the crap outta myself doing it too. But I think uploading pic is where the money is at. Those pirate cheeleaders are uploading pics like crazy - 100 pts each
There were multiple days where we were the only county in Virginia without school because of the 4 rednecks living in the hills in the north of the county.
These are excellent, makes me want to look at Skew-Ts once again!
I know this is an entirely different debate (and way far in the future) but I'm not convinced Leal will start next year. I don't know though.
Not only is it too early to tell how Loeffler is doing at Tech, it may be impossible to ever fairly judge his time at Auburn. He was only there for a year, he didn't have the right personnel for his system, he didn't have a quarterback, there is talk that the head coach wasn't letting Loeffler do what Loeffler wanted to... It's just one of those situations where it's impossible to tell what really happened.
I can say this though. There is no reason to think the offense is getting WORSE then it was last year. That means that the moves Frank Beamer made benefited the team. Now how much will they benefit the team moving forward? It's to early to say. That'll mostly depend on the new coaches ability to bring in top talent, which it appears they are more capable of doing then the previous coaches.
To be honest, I think this thread is a microcosm of what 9/11 did. Here we all are, sharing stories from 12 years ago and we all remember exactly where we were. It was a moment, frozen, that reminded us of what we have in common. Hell, I just learned on this thread that some of my VT alums on here were from Manassas, where I'm from. Beyond the obvious tragedy (note that I didn't know anyone personally victimized), the legacy that I recognize is that our commonalities outweigh our differences, and if September 11th is like this year every year, I'm better off for it. Thanks everyone.
This is great again. Seeing Caleb make a nice cut like that makes me so happy (he went to my high school). So many weapons and seeing the offensive line show cohesion so quickly is really encouraging!
A side question about the running game. I think I've seen French mention that he'd like to see counters (to the back side of the zone blocking with a wham block similar to what Pitt did to us last year) and other plays that work off of these zone runs. Do you think we're hiding these given our offensive game plan against Alabama (spread them out) and Western Carolina (back to basics, gain confidence)? Or are these most likely not part of our playbook? Sorry if this is a poorly worded question.
yeah we started up a meteorology program about 4 years and I'm a current student, haha but thank you! glad i can keep you entertained while teaching you too! I hope we get a big win this weekend I wanna see our O-line keep dominating
There it is. Me and my cousin played that game everyday. My memory getting bad but I remember putting in that code everytime. Thanks for the refresher Horse.
