"I know that isn't the pillow from my couch..."
Hey I was wondering if it's possible to add some kind of button that takes you from each new post to the next new post. On some of the longer threads there will be two or three new comments but they may not be in succession so we have to search through looking for the yellow comment. I may be getting picky and I'm not even sure if it's possible (no technical background) but a button or something that can jump us from one new comment to the next would be great.
A couple of tweaks for handhelds (iPhone / Android phones):
- Indents on comments are less so comments don't get quite as scrunched as they're threaded.
- More space as been added between the up and down vote links. I've noticed a few people mentioned they've fat fingered the voting arrows to give a down instead of up vote.
its true, they're quickly becoming the new notre dame as far as being the team of choice for people who dont really follow (or know a goddamn thing about) college sports.
I hope this scene is replayed on AUG31. It would be so awesome to shut up all the bandwagon jumping Crimson tide fans.
Jonathan McLaughlin = 2013 recruit to be most excited about. Cracking the two deep (and possibly starting), as a freshmen, at one of the most critical positions of need, makes me really, really happy we signed him.
Could you possibly add a "Bitter" tab to the Navigation bar like how there is currently a "French" tab?

# | Bitter blog -More o-line shuffling, some depth chart updates and a 'Chubby Backer' There's a ton of good stuff in this post and these are my thoughts.
Bad news first, Acree and Wang are done for the rest of spring, and Acree's chronic knee issues might force him to hang it up for good. Acree's been a weight room warrior who struggled at DT, then finally turning a corner last August at tackle before shredding his knee. I was really hoping he'd be able to recover and compete for playing time at guard.
I was hyped for Acree when he committed and signed with Tech. Remember this picture of him?
I thought his career would be defined by wrecking house and mashing, not position changes and injuries. Wang's ankle is becoming worrisome. Every subsequent ankle injury puts a person at risk for a future one. The downtime will do him well.
Jonathan McLaughlin is repping with the first team. No doubt it has something to do with Grimes' fluid depth chart, but the new o-line coach had some high praise for him too.
"He's a very, very confident, competitive kid," Grimes said. "Steps in with the first group and doesn't flinch at all, doesn't back away, no matter who he's going against. And has a lot of want-to, a very strong desire to be a good player and just one of the hardest workers on the o-line right now."
Grimes wouldn't go as far as saying McLaughlin would start if there was a game tomorrow, but he did acknowledge that he'll be in the mix and has "a great opportunity to win the starting job."
- Would such a thing even be possible under Newsome? That is, a true freshmen coming in and even having the opportunity to earn a starting job. Newsome seemed to have his favorites and was hesitant to really shuffle the deck. I love that Grimes is doing the opposite.
- What a signing by Beamer Co. A late offer and in-home visit might have secured a 3+ year starter.

# | Bitter blog -More o-line shuffling, some depth chart updates and a 'Chubby Backer' Sorry to hear that Acree is hurt again, maybe for the duration. D. Wang is in rough shape, too.
In injury news, OG David Wang (ankle) & OL Nick Acree (knee) have been shut down for the spring. Could be the end of Acree's college career.— Mark Giannotto (@HokiesJournal) April 11, 2013
I tried to vote thumbs up, but I think it gave it thumbs down. Sorry. This new format is not as mobile friendly as the old. Anyways, this is the best white out shirt we've had

# | Bitter blog - Charley Wiles has high praise for Nicolas, Gayle, Collins; concerned about defensive tackle depth I always love Wiles and Foster interviews. Those guys don't bull crap. Truth speak, love it.

# | Bitter blog -More o-line shuffling, some depth chart updates and a 'Chubby Backer' while i understand it's a fluid, day to day situation in the spring, it's encouraging to see mclaughlin practicing with the ones. dude could be a monster for us in the coming years.
That's why I just created him myself. 92 overall as a freshman, had about 20 ints, 7 or so returned for TDs. He and Kyle combined for about a dozen kickoff return tuchdowns.... oh, and of course, #beatbama. I think my version of reality is better.

It would be optimal if they visited for the spring game, but I think these guests just fall into the "happy to have them on campus at all" category. Street would be an incredible pull.
When can we expect another episode of whiskey lane? Looking forward to it..
You have to have at least -25 turkey legs to do anything on the site (I'm still not sure if that number needs to be lower), but as of right now the community essentially banned Charlie.
I think ESPN always had him as a 4 star
So jacked for the start of the season...
SOMEBODY HIT SOMEBODY!!!

# | Spring Practice 2013: First Open Scrimmage, More Observations Did you ever actually make -38 turkey legs the level at which you can't talk anymore?
