We had several guys starting on the line last year that had more "game experience." And yet....

Her first words were,"there were more people in the OR for my birth, than were at UVa's spring game."

AJ McCarron stops at the beginning of the merge lane to check traffic on the highway.. Really wish MD drivers were better

I think solid maroon with a nice deep grey color...Maroon numbers with orange outline, then have the classic LSU shoulder stripes like we do: orange maroon orange. That would look cool.

Or more simply, solid grey jersey with maroon numbers and an orange outline with a single orange stripe.

I just hope the pregame weather isn't like 2004 USC. That was the only time in my life that I have gone shirtless at a tailgate.

MV7 had an O-coordinator who never averaged less than 29 points per game...bustle was his name I think. Then steinspring came along and didn't do bad, but as you said, the quarterbacks could change plays with their legs.

What got me mad was during games, a buddy of mine and myself could literally predict 80% of the plays. Obviously we were not incredibly football savvy, we were only calling, run left, outside run, short pass left etc. But sadly, we were calling a vast majority of the plays correctly! This isn't madden! I shouldn't be able to sit in the DC's booth and be able to defend a legitimate college program...It infuriated me. The only thing I could think of was Steinspring was sitting in the booth thinking: "This is so predictable they will never guess!!"

I am glad we hung on to him for his recruiting prowess...but that's it.

As for the complaining about the "old" pictures on the back of the scoreboard....VPI did play football prior to 1993. There is a history to the team, I mean, this is our 120th season.
And, chosing just 2 people or images to plaster on the back would be too difficult to narrow down, causing just as much debate and probably similar results. I don't have any issues with the proposed back honestly.
(And they "retired" the fighting gobbler at the end of last season, thus the helmets we wore in the bowl game.)

Right, sorry, that's why I gave the warning. But their traditional look is pretty nice. I'm kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place up here in State College, on a Virginia Tech discussion board, complimenting Michigan's uniform style.

But we'd probably have to abandon Nike for Adidas to get this type of look (which I'm all for).

I had heard this before as well, and it frustrates me and makes me wonder what our coaches were doing.

I'm no expert on personnel development or leadership, but I don't want to bring up my new team members to follow exactly what I say. I want to show them how I make decisions and teach them how to think for themselves and make decisions on their own to support our collective goals. Eventually, I want them to be confident enough to lead teams themselves. If I can't develop that in another person, I shouldn't be leading them at all.

I think this might fit into why MV7, Randall, and Tyrod were good. When plays broke down, there suddenly was no instruction from the coaches on how to handle the situation. They just went and knew to do the things they knew they had to do to make our team successful, if only because they had the freedom to take charge (and, scramble drill!).

I was thinking the same thing. You don't look at someone creating a sculpture who is halfway done and say that it's horrible. You wait until they are done. They still have work to do to finish it up.

VTChrim's kid isn't being delivered. They're just beginning their conquest.
