This. It's a huge recruiting tool to tell a kid that the fans support the team so much that every game has been sold out since 1998. Shane Beamer has been especially vocal about trying to keep the streak alive.
Gotta love some Varsity Blues..."let's be heroes boys, LET'S BE HEROES!"
The lets be careful of injuries get out of this week unharmed with a solid win side of me agrees but the this is the strategy that has seen "Beamerball" decline wants three phase dominance again and we need our elite athletes on the field in #allmarooneverything side of me disagrees. Say that three times faster with a mouthful of vinegar sauce q in your grill!
Meh. Time will tell. F$U is just happy it wasn't a disaster after EJ left. It is more a sense of relief than anything else.
I think you hit all of mine, especially #1.
aw shucks, Thanks Horse. +1 back at ya. Flattery will always get you a turkey leg
Us TKP'ers for pride purposes
I think its fun to say that we have a sellout streak, but if this is such a great recruiting boom then where are the recruits? It's not like we are swatting away 5* kids because of it. In fact our recruiting (until the last class and this class) has been pretty ordinary. If our selling point to kids is "come see our not always full but always sold out stadium" then we REALLY suck at recruiting.
What REALLY helps recruiting are solid coaches that aren't full of shit, that can develop kids and put together a great game plan, week in and week out. Oh yea and WINNING is a big help too.
Turkey leg for you now :)
The coaches for recruiting purposes
For me a VT success would be...
1) Controlling the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball 100% of the game
2) No letting off the gas in the first half. ( Just because we are more talented still doesn't mean we let them off easy, it only develops for complacency in the players)
3) Running backs reaching the second level or further more then 50% of the game. (Looking for O-line dominance)
4) 100 yards of Total offense through 3 quarters by the defense (pretty tough but after three beamerball botches they should be foaming at the mouth to show it was a fluke and will never happen again)
5) Running game 200 plus yards total by end of the game (RB's only) Not counting the L Train.
6) 80% Passing efficiency by LT (more about the WR's then LT3)
7) Use of the tight end this week. I miss the Jeff Kings and Greg Boones of yesteryear.
9) No Sacks caused by the O Line missing a block.
8) Last but not least, Sam Rogers catching a pass in the game and see who has the manhood to try to get in his way as he rumbles down the field.
I'm confused about something:
Who gives a shit if we have a sellout streak?
also i almost did include the coriolis joke without even looking at that haha
well the finished product is posted drinking forecast will be introduced next week i like the idea, ALSO I'd be open to any other witty ideas
The rule is that they can't formally (or formerly if you're Mike London) extend a written scholarship offer until August 1st of the prospects senior year.
Edit: Changed your to you're. I was in that post-lunch, full stomach, half-asleep state when originally writing this.
This is what LOLUVA does....I recall we have discussed in the past why they had some prices low and then jacked up the price for the VT game at Scott...um...Lane Stadium North.
I took it at NOVA, where the N stands for Knowledge because I heard of the devils in that class.
It does! I have satellite internet because I live in the boonies and ESPN3 doesn't recognize my provider. I was hoping we could use this all year to catch games that might be internet only.
I am old. I would have said Jonathan Moxon.
Let me start off by apologizing and saying I realize I might get downvoted for this, but "you're*". Have to keep it correct if you're going to make fun of it
No third downs on offense for the entire game. 80% 3 and outs for the defense.
If Jarrett is returning punts against WCU with that trick hamstring, I may drive to Blacksburg and shake somebody.
Let Byrn return punts. Based on what I saw this past week, I would be looking at Greene and Mangus to work with Coleman on kickoff return. Keep Jarrett and Kendall fresh, as they will be working against no-huddle spread defenses the next three weeks and the tempo could wear them down.
That requires a missed extra point or two field goals. I do not want to see either of those. Settling for field goals in this game would be a shame.
1. Win- the only thing that matters
2. Make them give up after half time. Physically beat them down like we should and have fun doing it.
or if you're still alive.
