# | Bitter blog - More on Marshall, Wiles the meteorologist and Willie "Paper Boy" Byrn Thank you. I forgot he said that. I added it to the blog post.
It was my line of questioning anyway.
ECU saw this picture tonight. We are now 2-1. True Story.
Smash Brothers was/is awesome. We routinely had 8 guys in one dorm room playing the Nintendo 64 version for hours. I seem to remember living off-campus at the time but still hanging out in the dorms to play. Hmm, that sounds a lot lamer now than it did then.
This.
Well you can't just look at this game in a vacuum.
First this first, dude had a great high school highlight film (Posted here http://www.thekeyplay.com/content/2013/may/30/2013-te-de-kalvin-cline-co...)
When looking at TE prospects, seeing how they work in space is key. An athletic TE with ball skills is a huge weapon and his highschool film showed Cline had a knack for making plays on the ball with it in the air as well as having a good sense of body positioning in the passing game. Tie that in with his natural athleticism and that's a perfect recipe for a great TE.
Secondly, there's great potential for a player with Cline's skill set in Loeffler's system. Loeffler loves him some Tight Ends (don't we all). If Cline CAN be a play-maker, Loeffler will find ways to get him involved in the offense. If Cline lives up to his potential, he could one day be a star in Loeffler's scheme.
Thirdly, I think you are underestimating his performance. He has very little football experience and yet ran a variety of routes well enough to get open. Sure, he dropped a ball in the endzone, but at least he got separation on that route... something the Hokies desperately need more out of their targets. Cline also showed good technique on those bootlegs. He held his block for an appropriate amount of time, then rolled out, made the catch, and got his head turned around and got up field. There are lots of tight ends in CFB that wouldn't have looked nearly as smooth doing the same thing. In fact, some of those TE's are on this football team.
Does Cline deserve to be crowned the next Jeff King? Course not. There is potential there though and considering that the early part of this season will consist of a lot of "There is potential there!" talk, he deserves a shout-out.
You know, I think you're on to something...

# | Bitter blog - More on Marshall, Wiles the meteorologist and Willie "Paper Boy" Byrn You mean Willie "Paper MAN" Bryn... are we allowed to post TSL YouTube videos? Don't want to break any rules, but they posted his interview there.
Ok, odd observation, but with the collar and helmet, this looks like the hokie birds head. Am i the only one seeing that?
Sam Rogers is the reason there isn't a real jellyfish!

# | Breaking News: Corey Marshall rejoins the team, Alston Smith moves to Offense Wonder if Smith's move to OG means Miller's injury is more serious than we thought (or Shuman is further away)?

# | Breaking News: Corey Marshall rejoins the team, Alston Smith moves to Offense Maddy is the only big tackle, since I doubt Harley will play a lot.
Because he caught the ball 4 times which is more than Coles and Knowles can say
Didn't really notice what type of font was used and quite Frank-ly (see what I did there: didn't realize until after it was already there) don't care what it is, the important thing is the emphasis on education and striving for a program of national prominence. I may be a simpleton, but font means F-all to me.

Hearing people yell "TECH TECH VPI" makes me angrier than ignorant broadcasters saying "Vah Tech." At least they don't go to the school. If you're going to say any of the words to the fight song, at least say the right ones!
Oh, hell no... Can't stop laughing!
From the horse's mouth.
...and I agree.
Sam Rogers is Bud Foster and Jeff Grimes' love child.
Sam Rogers stood over the replay official in the booth. The official hasn't been seen since then.
Sam "Raging Bull" Rogers has a nice ring to it.
be careful when you see 6 shirtless bros in the back of an 1999 s10 pickup, pirate flag fiying of course... they'll throw empties at you and yell shit. i promise you, you'll see at least 1 group of guys like that.
