Duane Brown was still a First Round pick...Painter will not be.
how about fsu starting to foul with like 2:45 left in the game? that was a painfully long ending.
In either of those cases, I could understand, but not in this case. Let me paint a word picture for you:
FIRST quarter, FIRST play on defense, I'm standing and yelling. End of the first play, when it has quieted down a bit, a guy from 3 or 4 rows back yells at me, "Hey, sit down and shut the hell up". Not wanting to make a fuss, I sat down. Didn't make noise on 2nd down.
3rd down, I start yelling again. I don't stand up. I don't pull out my keys and start waving them around or anything. I just start yelling. After the play, the next thing I hear is the same guy yelling again, "Will you shut the hell up? I'm trying to watch a football game here."
I wasn't obstructing his view or anything, he still had a perfect view of the field. Only thing I could figure is that he was trying to listen to Mike and Bill on the radio or something. While that's not as bad as taking a Walkman to a rock concert, I thought it was mind-blowing how little energy there was on that side of the stadium, and how resistant they were to anything except sitting down and quietly watching a football game in one of the loudest venues in college football.
If I was physically blocking his view, I'd understand. If I was being drunk and belligerent I'd understand. If I was being loud and obnoxious beyond just making noise on defense I'd understand.
After that experience, I now competely understand why my dad has always bought tickets in the alumni section in the East stands, everyone is so much nicer and livelier over there. And I will personally never sit in the West stands again.
I don't understand why they spend those thousands of dollars each year just for the privilege of buying "great seats" in the West stands, if all they're going to do is sit there in the cold rain and watch a football game in silence, no different than if they could be watching it on tv anywhere. The atmosphere is, to me, the main reason to go watch a game in person, and they were trying to suck their section dry of it.
Those of you who followed me in my early days on the Twitters know I used to be a very vocal HD hater. I have since found better ways of using my time, because that woman is simply not worth it.
is if Bud leaves and we play Oregon into triple overtime or something...
But look where he is now
I hope one day we can put up 80+ points in football, too!
I imagine he's low, because you're just drafting potential. Newsome had in no way polished him. It's a shame.
Kid had a great shot. For someone that small to hit 3's like that is pretty impressive.
I sat in the west stands this past season and while it was different from the student section, it really wasn't too bad other than people didn't understand the whole even/odd/separate section concept. Many times I looked at the student section and was disappointed, but I'm pretty sure there was a pretty long post on that during the season.
Saw this on facebook this morning. I know he is only in street clothes, but it is pretty funny that he got scored on that much. Kid had a decent shot.
With him doing so well in a lot of these categories, I still don't see how they have him rated so lowly. I know he will only be a 6th or 7th round pick at best, but I believe he has a lot more potential than that. Could be bias since I went to HS with him, but I hope he finds a team that can groom him to be top tackle.
I think to give scouts more accuracy, I think all players should do the 40 yards with pads and without pads. It is deceptive when somebody blazes through the 40 yards, and then looks to be a step slow when going up against veteran defensive backs. I think that is one way to give scouts/coaches/GM a better barometer of what to expect when they actually draft said player(s).
We are the best fanbase ever made! I love HokieNation
One day soon he'll be able to say he balled with a NBA-er.. Props to EG for not being too cool for school
good job against the criminoles tonight, team
They posted it on Youtube too.
For some recruits, that is probably a key reason why they don't go to uva...
Londonball, y'all.
No, blame Marcus FOR Glennon. If he and Ike had had a brain between them, Glennon never would have seen the field.
It's a 10th of a second, and the clocks at the combine, while stopped electronically, are started manually. There's a ton of error in these numbers. Never really understood the excitement over them, myself. If a guy plays fast (and you can tell when you watch them play), then they're fast, regardless of what some guy with a stopwatch says.
I hadn't heard that! I bet his skill with timeout management is also a great draw.
man the nfl network timing was way off, they had 4.4 for a 4.56
Guilty as charged. Who is this??
I meant the North Endzone. I know Alumni have their seat and they paid their due in the past and i respect them for that. but last years north end zone was terrible. I Thank all the Alumni, I thank the passionate fans. I'm not mad at all fans, just the ones that treat it like a greek social. I'm not trying to piss people off, I just want a student section that is passionate about the game, and not wondering what they are wearing downtown that night
