Where is the VT one. I think Lexi is better btw, wired proportions on Lauren.
Ha someone would downvote. If FSU for sure wanted Nnadi, they would just have this girl (Lauren if you click the link) hanging around at his next recruiting trip. Legitimately the hottest girl that's ever lived.

I think they changed the rule after that USC/UCLA game. It used to be a penalty and loss of a timeout at the start of each half. If I remember correctly Kiffin took a delay of game and called a timeout on their first series to even it out (classy move, by a not-so-classy guy). Now both teams have to agree before the start.
I don't either. The rule stems from when TV was black and white, so one team would be dark and the other light and it'd be easier to distinguish. With all color, and mostly high definition TVs, there's no reason it couldn't be done in many more cases. The only issues would be schools with reds or blues as primary home jersey colors, because there are so many of them. Imagine BC-FSU in all home unis.
one of my all time favorite comedies and a great scene....

Yep he had a lot to learn and he has made a ton of progress. He always had an arm even in high school just didn't use it much. I think he had a lot of potential though and hopefully lefty gets it out
Also, great post!
One other item of note. While Augie Conte was listed as the top tackle on the depth chart yesterday, he was the right tackle with the "two group" ie the guys who are not challenging for a starting job last night. Both he and Parker Osterloh struggled with the speed of DeWayne Alford and Seth Dooley in the highlight clips.
A while back I began the ritual of an annual trip to the beverage store (yes, annual, as I am more of a craft brew drinker) for a bottle of bourbon for football season. So, the timing of this forum was perfect.
Shouldn't 12 (wins) be the logical scenario that flows from BEATBAMA? I thought so too, and picked up some Elijah Craig 12 last night. After popping it open, I am very pleased with this choice. This bourbon has a very good balance and nice oak tones at the end. A very good sippin' bourbon indeed.
Thanks for the recommendation.
Mr Ed? ... is that you?
I know this is a joke, but the girls lax team is meh. Let's get the soccer team on this. Better yet, the hottest/easiest sorority.
I think Tech will have at least a moderate amount of success throwing down the field (15 yards+) against Bama. Auburn got destroyed by Bama, but they had a couple of plays down the field for good yardage, and missed at least one wide-open receiver for a td. The opportunities will be there, Thomas will have to see them and then get the ball there.
Yup, the ball looks a little weird coming out of Bucky's hands and he doesn't put that tight of a spiral on it. Guess that's why we hired Lefty. On the other hand, I was very much not a fan of Motley at QB until last night. Kid definitely looked pretty good, even considering he was a wing-T QB in high school. While he may never be the next Tyrod or Andrew Luck, I think he at least deserves a shot in the next couple years.
It's a caching issue that needs to be fixed. It happens if you edit a comment I believe. Eventually when the cache is refreshed the changes will show up.
Bucky has a very weird throwing motion that will def need to be worked on. Don't forget about Brendan Motley local kid and from the looks he's coming along quite well. Made several good throws and has athleticism to spare
Would love to see us use these T Drills at mid field during warm ups for game day in Lane. Would really make the opposing team crap themselves IMO.
Well he certainly wasn't atrocious, I can say that much for sure. He still has the most impressive arm on the team and since he did have the yellow jersey on, he didn't get a chance to show off his legs. Thomas also does have the "aura" of a leader on the field. He is in command of the offense and looks very comfortable moving people around and making pre-snap reads.
Was the passing attack humming? Not really, no. Tech's secondary is too good and the WR's too inexperienced for Thomas and Co. to find a lot of consistency throwing the ball.
Look, Logan Thomas is the best Quarterback on the team. Mark Leal is, in my opinion, a distant second to Thomas. It's impossible to say that for sure because Leal doesn't have enough live-game snaps under his belt. Who knows, Leal might be a total gamer. But I doubt it. He escapes from pressure backwards way too much rather then stepping forward into the pocket, and if he was a threat to Logan Thomas's job... we'd have seen some evidence of it by now.
Is Logan capable of throwing this team to victory? Probably not against the toughest teams on Tech's schedule. At least, not with this young WR group. But if the ground game starts going and the line is able to give Thomas time and Loeffler is able to get the matchups he wants... IF all those things happen then Thomas could very well be the ACC QB of the year. Especially if Loeffler has success in using Thomas in the run game.
But if Loeffler has to rely on Thomas to throw the ball 40+ times a game, forget about it. Thomas just isn't consistent enough with his post-snap reads to West-Coast-Pass his way down the field. He needs to throw the ball deep and use his arm strength to fit the ball in the low percentage areas of the field that defenses are willing to give up (in front of the secondary but behind the linebackers).
I wish him good luck
With the exception of one or two throws, he was pretty spot-on all day. Definitely looks much-improved from last year.
I remember him having trouble last year. He didn't travel to one of the away games, there were questions about whether he leaves the team. I hope he finds a good fit.
My comments keep getting eaten, and I don't know why...
Awesome writeup thanks! Very excited about Parker I know Coach Cav couldn't rave enough about his talent at the spring recruiting event.
One Q--thoughts on Logan? Twitter commentary on his performance was mixed--saw "atrocious" mentioned re: at least 1-2 throws and a few others said he was sharp. Assuming from your silence that you couldn't ascertain much good or bad?
I'll settle for any of them.
