Yes, Contra! My vote also for music most likely to get stuck in your head for hours.
Madden '98 reminds me on freshman year in Lee Hall
Since I see none of y'all have mentioned it yet:
That's some shitty #BEACHFLOW right there.
I think my favorite punt return that I've seen was a couple years ago when one of the OL/DT/occasional full back on my High School's team came right up the middle and blocked a punt, but instead of the ball bouncing off of him, he somehow caught the ball when it hit him and ran it back for a TD. A great example of Beamerball in a HS win: A Punt Block returned for a TD and an INT returned for a TD in a 14-6 game.
Carlis Parker's dad notwithstanding
From what I have heard this is Watfords job to lose/fumble away. Gotta keep some of the 757 people happy.
Is it against NCAA rules for us to send support to the family?
EDIT: Simply notes of support/well-wishes/comments on every article we can find about how the hokie nation hopes he gets his eligibility back.
Yep, 2009. Graham had two big drops in Blacksburg in the 3rd quarter, down 21-7. Finished with zero catches that game.
In Andy Bitter's blog post about him, his HS coach says that last April he "fell in love with the weight room" and is up to 6'5" 240lbs, after starting at 6'4", 215.
Oh my god is your avatar a hokie version of loki wartooth from metalocalypse? Brilliant. Turkey leg for you, sir/ma'am.
2010-Verica
2007-Sewell (some Lalich)
2005-Hagans
2004-Hagans
That 2005 game was fuuuuun
This is actually a legitimate concern. He might not be bad, and by the time he's ready to start, Head Ball Cop will be fired and the Notorious T.O.B. will be HC. Ruh roh.
This isn't great for us, having Sims around would have created just that much more disorder and dischord. This may give them a cleaner path to playing Lambert sooner, who may actually not suck.
Ooooooooh. My bad. I just assumed he was really confused or possibly trolling.
Help me fill in the blanks.....

Wow, that was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be.
You're not too far off. Here's a post from the something awful forums:
QBs at Virginia since 2006: Olsen (ND transfer, couldn't hold on to starting job), Kevin Mccabe (60% completions, 10% interceptions returned for touchdowns), Scott Deke (one career TD pass on a fake FG), Vic Hall (great player... at CB), Sewell (missed 2008, with him we might have been a terrible bowl team), Lalich (booted from team, reportedly threw a tantrum in Craig Littlepage's office), Metheney (transferred to South Alabama, starting), Riko Smalls (transfer to Texas State, starting), Strauss (transferred to Richmond, starting?), Rocco (transferred to Richmond, possibly starting), Miles Gooch (moved to WR), Sims (one year shared starter, now leaving), O.C. Wardlow (denied admission), Marc Verica (well, you can see why he was a two year starter now...).
I count 14.
Yeah, I agree. I always get them confused. Hargrave seems to be where a bunch of our basketballers went.
This makes me want to watch "The King of Kong" so badly.
"But in the world of competetive gaming, when you wanna attach your name to a world-record, when you want your name written into history, you have to pay the price!"- Billy Mitchell
I would contend that Fork Union has been much more of a Hokie pipeline than Hargrave
This just looks weird right now... Really excited for the massive video board to be put in though.
Well, I took a long look at the film. I think he is the kind of kid that you can take a shot on because you have depth at the positions where he could contribute.
The positives
*As a receiver, he has a very sharp release from the line of scrimage and gets off of press coverage. For a big man, he runs sharp routes and gets into position quickly, and catches the ball at it's highest point.
* As a defensive end, he has an excellent second step and closing speed, and appears to be tremendously productive.
Negatives
* You can tell he is brand new to football. His stance at DE is awkward, and he overextends on his first step, almost to the point where he looked like he was falling down on a couple of plays. He is 100% allergic to contact, and in almost all these plays, he takes the route around blockers instead of taking on the block and beating it. He also turns his pads into the chest of a pulling guard, which we called "making yourself a big target." Someone with experience would squeeze the guard, taking on the block with the inside shoulder and maintaining outside leverage.
Watching this film, Cline could become the player that we hoped Randall Dunn would become. His hands and speed are identical, and he is physically much larger. He could factor in quickly at hBack (assuming he learns how to block.) He also looks very similar to Jayln Holmes in skill set. Both were used as wide receivers on offense, and both were explosive defensive ends on defense. Holmes is clearly more accustomed to contact at this point, but Cline might be quicker at the same size. Still, I would have loved to see VT make Holmes top 3.
He's already 240???
Yeah, this kid is definitely my sleeper pick. I was a little worried at his weight, but if he's already up to 240 he's got the body of a TE. He's ready to go. Can't wait, this might be a really good pickup
I think Klavin Cline is the next Jimmy Graham. Graham was a basketball player who also played football for the Hurricanes, and if I recall, he had a pretty miserable afternoon in Blacksburg.
Glad that Cline is a Hokies. Y-stretch, Y-trips!
I would hope there's no one here who is a big enough loser to actually program this into MatLab. Having said that, this code will simulate the flow chart for an arbitrary number of years.
Below are the results of a 25 year simulation.
