Kendall Fuller v Amari Cooper. FTW
With Exum out, younger guys are going to get reps. Our secondary is going to be sick next year, even after Exum and Big Fuller leave
The typo definitely makes it more plausible. I vote real.
I think D_Bam meant something a little different...
Nice call - I like this plan.
Is it normal to not have kick or punt returners listed at this point?
We got this, X. Don't you worry.

DJ for h-back or he is 10 lbs away from being a good weight at WR... Malleck should be a solid option at TE.
how is Harley not getting a fair shake? just because he was a 4* does not mean he is going to develop into what he was projected. Look at Luther Maddy, he was a 2* guy who was not offered until late January of his senior year. Lineman are tough to project and Maddy developed quick. Do not count Harley out because we still have a chance to see why he was so highly rated out of high school.
Beiro was not on scholarship for some reason. But that is another scholly we have
I think he means gayle will be knocking mcarron on his ass
Probably real... happens everywhere whether you win against your rival or not
One minor addendum: Its ny understanding that injured players keep theur scholarships, I'm pretty sure I remember seeing that Michael Cole is still on scholarship, but doesn't count against the scholarship limit.
It gets further complicated if two players on the same team wear the same number at the same time.
An interesting point that came up in an article I read (probably posted here) is that its questionable whether or not he and his family can trademark "Johnny Football" to prevent brand dilution, since he can't profit from the brand at the moment. So he can't stop people from flooding the market with Johnny Football T-Shirts and profiting from his likeness/name.
You get a +1 for having excellent taste in television.
Sucks about Exum but I didn't expect him to play anyway....
Completely unrelated, I'm watching the latest episode of The Newsroom right now and look what happens:
-but don't hit the play button, it's just a screenshot-
Only put this here because this thread was at the top; don't mean to photobomb your thread. And I wanted to share this with you good people. Carry on about Exum and such.
But I'm guessing he would since he's a leader of the team
You mean McCarron will have Gayle on his ass so much during the game dot dot dot
I'm doing my Masters online through Tech. My husband is in the Army and still a Virginia resident, so I now qualify for in-state tuition. It's not as much as my undergrad, but I'm still paying for this degree. I'm missing out on the (in my mind) great deal that you got because my husband's in the Army, and I can't up and move back to Blacksburg for two years.
I also think that you, because of what you were doing, should have been eligible for performance incentives.
What I would do to have a 6th year at Virginia Tech. Id even settle for 6 hours...every Saturday in fall
So this is ultimately what the floor will look like. Still has some touch ups to be done as well as a couple coats of polyurethane.
As you can kinda see in pajokie's photo the framework is basically done for Lane. Should definitely be complete by middle to end of the month. Cassell I just don't see happening as fast, though I'm they do have multiple crews working on it so I could be wrong since most of the framework is up I guess, can't really see much past the scaffolding.
To your last statement ...promising to post something about the Hokies, shouldn't be in an apologetic slight (at least how I read it). I applaud this piece as a short, thought-provoking statement on the current situation with big-time athletics. While I believe the athlete is given a set of rules to play by, and a free ride to school, etcetera on the (perhaps facade-like) platform "student athlete" we should face this time that the purity of collegiate sports has been perverted and monetized to this current situation. We are all guilty parties -your piece is a testament that this discussion has many angles with no right or wrong answer to provoke conversation or discourse on the subject. Another reason why this site shows so much in comparison to the standard meat-head mouth-breathing fansites out there on teams sports that fan(atic)s frequent and read as their daily bibles.
Bravo!
I don't disagree. But why should we stop them? If boosters paid for the best talent so that Nick Saban can coach them up, they'll win a lot. If boosters pay for top talent so that Kirk Ferentz or Mack Brown can coach them up, they'll still lose. I don't really care at all if players are getting paid. I'd rather see the system protect against the integrity of the sport (no steroids, no point shaving, etc) than worry about free market investment.
