My thought is that the size of the images are not calculated when determining the position of the comment. I would imagine it is difficult to keep track of every image on the page and include the size of it in the overall size of each comment.

This sometimes happens to me, even on a desktop (chrome, windows). I think I've noticed that it usually happens on a thread with many images in the comments (like advice hokie). My take was that it takes me to the right spot, then a ton of images load quickly, and that pushes the new comment down, forcing me to scroll to find it. If that is correct, not sure there is a fix for it. But maybe it is something else - have to get Joe (or someone else with web design experience, I guess) to weigh in.

I've noticed on my iPhone sometimes when I click on new comments on an article, it doesn't go directly to the first new comment, it takes me to about halfway through the comments, and I have to scroll down to find the new comment.

zoom4vt | 13 years 3 months # | Bitter blog -More o-line shuffling, some depth chart updates and a 'Chubby Backer'

The good: exercising options between center and guard. I like having Farris at center and Miller to his right. We need to get more physical play from our guard spot and this move affords that. I expect this change to stay.
The bad: Nic Acree. I too was high on this cat from the beginning. I remember a quote from Ryan Williams talking about how big and nasty he was going to be for Tech. Too bad for him and his injury bug. It goes to show that being the biggest, baddest dude in the weightroom doesnt always translate onto the field. Look at Grimm--doing more with less. I really hope his days arent over; I am still a big fan. But if so, best wishes sir, hopefully you can learn from the program and get into coaching if you desire.
The ugly: Lil' Wang. This bird is constantly on the mend. I think his joints and bones can handle the wear and tear of the bigger boys leaning on him all the time. I too hope he heals quickly, but when you're barely 6'1" and your throwing blows with 6'5" monsters, it is bound to break you down. Too bad we couldnt make him a full-back.

zoom4vt | 13 years 3 months # | Bitter blog - Charley Wiles has high praise for Nicolas, Gayle, Collins; concerned about defensive tackle depth

Interesting how d-tackle is a spot we are considered "thin". I also found it interesting that both Harley and Smith are "on the ground too much". Can you imagine how Korren Kirvin would have played into this saga had he chosen us over Bama? Lets only hope our dogs in the trenches can hold their own against the Tide. I believe they will. Harley is alot like Tank Abott from the Octogan, years past. He comes in a fury, leaves in a hurry. If he's given short stints on the field, he'll do damage. I dont believe he is an every-down d-lineman though--yet. And Smith? Ol' Papa Smurf will get him in shape before this is all said and done. Too bad we cant slide some of our d-ends down, ie: Collins. If I were a betting man, I'd say he will end up there by the end of the season. He'll be a "Via" of the d-line: Mr. Utility who can play backup fiddle to both Nicolas and Maddy.

If McLaughlin turns out to be a "3+ year starter" and a nasty beast at tackle who gets all-ACC nods, his recruitment would definitely be one of the best recruiting steals in VT football history. Maybe not as big as Bruce Smith, Michael Vick, Kevin Jones or Tyrod, but really up there nonetheless. And we so desperately need to develop a good rep for producing top shelf O-line talent instead of coaching debacles like the Duane Brown story. Go Grimey, coach'em up good!

Speaking of getting picky, I was just commenting on another post and noticed this one: The icon for 'underline' in the comment box is the 'unordered list' icon repeated. Not at all important, but I thought I'd point it out. Thanks for everything, Joe!
