See, Grimey knows how to win over recruits!
Yeah, I'm enjoying blowing people up with LT3.
The shoestring tackles don't run completely rampant I guess, but it seems like once a game I'm about to break a 20 yard run and I barely get caught by a DE in the backfield. Seems like it happens more because every time it's happened I've been devastated by missing out on a huge run!
i cannot tell if hes wearing a crown made out of High Life and/or Jim Bean bottles or if that's something in the background.

ODU's QB had an insane offensive output in one game last year

You could argue for ODU as #2, UVA #3 if you desired. UVA is too afraid to schedule them...
are you positive about that? seems like we would've heard something along those lines. . .
Hope Grimes' lines make those blue chip defenders look like deer a in the headlights.
You gotta shake it, before you bake it...
2nd out of the 2 division 1 programs in VA. If ya ain't 1st, your last!
Yep, In Richmond. Which is why he can pump the "Develop you into a man" recruiting angle. Can't using tradition or winning.
Both quality speeches. For my money I want William Wallace from "Braveheart"...
2nd? I think you mean 2nd to last
Great stuff. Sure makes for a nice break from a busy day at work.
About three more of these and I think I'll be ready to start coaching at the high school level.
I am expecting big things from the fullers this year. I'd love to have kendall ready to go in nickel packages and to spell exum/kyle on day 1 to get him some solid experience.
I want to say yes, but I will check next time I play at home.
Umm. Turtle Cutler FTL
Try the Beamerball website. If that's the same as Hokiesports, then another probably hasn't been released since spring.
Hope Exum is healthy by the start of season, but two Fullers in the secondary: that's what dreams are made of!
Dynasty: a powerful group or family that maintains its position for a considerable time
LOLUVA has maintained 2nd place for a considerable time.
Not downplaying networking. Not one bit. My point was simply London's network is not very large. It just so happens his small network has had 3 5-stars and several 4-star players the past few years. Kudos to him to develop his network. But, if he doesn't expand his network or a rift develops, then he'll have a hard time bringing in the elite recruits.
I view networking (and thus recruiting) similar to guys chasing girls at a bar. There are 3 types. The first type is the guy that sits backs and hangs out with his friends, hopes by serendipity that he meets some girl because she is friends with one of your friends. As I know from personal experience, this doesn't work out well if you want to date a lot of girls, but you eventually end up with a beautiful and great gf. The second is the guy that will go up and talk to every girl at the bar, good-looking or not, and hope one eventually goes home with him. He gets rejected 99% of the time, usually ends up with a lot ugly girls, but every so often he gets a good one. The third is the guy with skills. He goes up to the hottest girl, and with his charm and wit gets the girl to go home with him. He always has a hot gf, and dates a lot of them.
I view London as the first guy and maybe a little bit like the second guy. True, London has great connections in the 757, but he's from Hampton Roads and already knew a whole bunch of coaches and people there. He's relying on his friend and already strong connections. By serendipity, those connections has had some great recruits lately. Luckily for him, it seems his connections may yield many more elite players, since the Thoroughbreds have a lot of talent. However, I don't consider this great recruiting. If London were to take a coaching job anywhere else in the country, I don't think he ever pulls in another 5-star recruit.
What I would consider great recruiting is a recruiter like the 3rd guy. This is how Saban, Meyer, Hoke and several others operate. It seems Lefty, Grimes, and Shane work this way. They see what they want, go after it, and get it. If you have this skill, your network will never be small, and you can go anywhere in the country, pull in an elite recruit.
Got the S4 a week ago myself. Best phone I've ever had, not sure what to do with my Bionic
Great movie! The "Miracle" speech from the movie is even more fitting for #BeatBama IMO.
I am sending this graph to every person i know.
I figured the bottles are Corona, which makes sense if you know Spanish. I guess maybe he really likes Mexican beer. Dos Equis/Corona.
