I don't think we really have opposing views so much as different perspectives. I'm also not representative of most of the Corps, because I'm one of the few cynical bastards that didn't chug the Kool-Aid.
Absolutely correct. The drag from the back side must mirror the quarterback. He can't be too slow, or the quarterback has to throw back against the grain, which can lead to disaster (just ask Peyton Manning after the Ravens/Broncos playoff game.) At the same time, you want the linebacker looking at the quarterback rolling out and running to cover the flat. If the receiver dragging from the back side goes too fast, he draws the attention of the linebacker before the backer vacates the area.

But seriously, Steger was awesome. Sad to see him go. Hope they bring in a worthy candidate.
If an Archer one was done:
LOL! That's really scary to see on a sports blog, where raw emotion is usually king!
No question, Steger's been great for VT. I'm definitely interested to see who they'll bring in next and whether the new president will continue/finish what Steger started or take the school in a different direction.
Wow, another well-thought-out, civil conversation between two people with opposing views that ends with an agreement about their initial misunderstanding. Once again, you guys are MISUSING THE INTERNET.
Archer is one of those shows I've been meaning to watch, but just haven't gotten around to yet. I am a fan of the Venture Bros though.
August really can't get here fast enough, and summer hasn't even started yet.
Great man. Did a great job securing VT (and the ACCs) position in the college football play-off. Being the head of that decision board also. Really strengthened our conferences foot hold as a power amongst the other conferences.
My experience in conversations with some of the powers that be is that they don't have a problem with the Corps as much as the way it is run by the people in charge. There are some liabilities that they have had to absorb and have put a sour taste in the mouth of many officials. I think they all understand its value to the cadets, but the people in charge are the problem, not the institution that is the Corps of Cadets.
Could we maybe get a take on them with "Archer" or maybe "Venture Brothers"? Because, let's face it, we're a bunch of adolescent children here who have the freedom to watch late-night cartoons with terse language. Maybe (for Mr. Hokie Wartooth) a "Metalocalypse" breakdown...
...August can't get here fast enough.
I can agree with this.
Oh, you aren't starting anything. Trust me, I dislike the Corps too. The organization thinks it's way more valuable and important than it is, and never misses an opportunity to toot its own horn. However, it's a valuable experience for those going into the military because it teaches important lessons about bureaucracy and bullshittery. While there are major flaws, I don't take well to someone who hasn't experienced it advocating its extinction.
Here's my attempt at it, unfortunately the site I used (team.nike.com) only had the pants with the short stripe available.
Not to start a war on here, but there's a lot that goes on that I'm not sure you know about regarding why many officials at VT dislike the Corps. It has to do with your leadership and how well they play with others. The Corps will remain, but it's very easy to say "If you don't listen, you won't be around to do anything much longer."
I've got mixed feelings about him. He's built Tech up, modernized campus, and sold our brand. For that, I respect him. But being in the Corps, I find it hard to like someone who wants to get rid of my organization.
For a couple years now it's been thought that Steegdaddy would retire sometime soon.
As a student and now an alum I always liked President Steger. I thought he did a great job running and promoting VT.
It seems like ~15 years is pretty standard for any Tech President. I wouldn't read too much into it.
Great as always French. Another key to the bootleg are the 2 receivers flooding that zone must keep proper spacing and depth between them not allowing one defender defend both of them. Malleck and Stanford do a good job on the clip above.
Am I the only one one who thinks this is way too sudden to be Steger just stepping down because it's time? By midsummer, it'll probably be out that he was forced to resign because he gave Stiney a secret contract guaranteeing HCIW or some such shit.
well that AND you don't constantly bump into pompous d-bags everywhere you go...
Like I said, it was an HD interview.
Every time I return, there's a new large building or parking deck. No wonder the cavs are jealous; we have nicer classrooms and buildings.
Boyer's too young, but I'd be all for that in a few years. My vote would Dr. James I. Robertson, the best goddamned teacher I've ever had the privilege of learning from.
