Gumby's pokey sticks were never good, they were cheap and came in mass quantities. After a good night of drinking taste didn't matter. In fact I think that was Gumby's motto.
ML's response any time someone asks, "Who beat VT?"
*No disrespect to the serviceman or anything, I just couldn't resist takin a shot at ML. But who can?
sweet jesus i hope he adds some weight
Those three have to be my favorites. Miami and FSU follow with the Clemson crazy eyes right behind them. Honestly though...I would be frightened if I ever saw Paul Johnson smile. I imagine this would be his pet...
Sara McLaughlin would approve of that match
and...

This is embarrassing, but I JUST got your twitter handle. For so long I just expected you to tweet pictures of men
They don't call us the "Spirit of Tech" for nothing...TKP is where you should come to get schooled on Hokie football #AllOfTheMVs
I was going to wait until tomorrow but:
1. Russel Stover Chocolates
2. Conversation Hearts
3. Valentines Nerds
As a candy, plain dark chocolate really doesn't stand on its own, because I don't consider it a "candy". However, I eat Baker's chocolate straight out the wrapper.
If we're talking Valentine's Candy only, then:
1. Peanut M&Ms
2. Nerds
3. Cinnamon Hearts
38-0. Sweethearts
Wasn't me, promise. Thanks for all you've done
Are we going to rank candies again? This didn't go so well last time IIRC haha
Mike London's picture there looks like that guy you used to know from high school that was an all-state running back but never made it far then put on a ton of weight.
Did you guys know he was a cop?
Clemson's is my favorite. Where are the ones with slots for candy?
Speaking of candy: Valentine's day candy rankings?
1. Liquor filled chocolates
2. Sweethearts
3. Chocolate strawberries
...
192. Plain dark chocolate
The chips fall with our 2014 recruiting class and we score Andrew brown, and Hand. Top 2 at DT and DE. 2015 and 2016 when we play Ohio State, Hokies could have Top D-line in country with Teller on opposite side of Hand. Keeping my fingers crossed
Just have to not get caught, right?
Here is how things are going to shake out.
1) Edmunds will be a tailback. I think his upside is higher at linebacker, but Beamer would not have given him such a high percentage of bowl game practice snaps at tailback unless they were certain that he would step in and be a starter next year. They have made their minds up, and unless Edmunds demands a move to linebacker (in which case a year of his development was wasted), he stays at tailback. And, no matter what you think of the other tailbacks, he is the best player at the running back position that Virginia Tech has in uniform right now.
2) I too am worried about linebacker depth, but lets remember that Bud Foster changed things radically this year. Base alignment at the end of this season had Bruce Taylor and the whip on the edge of the alignment, almost like 3-4 outside linebackers with no little coverage responsibility. Kyshone Jarrett for all intensive purposes was playing backer, aligned next to the mike linebacker in the middle of the defense. If Foster continues that direction, Holland Fisher is a perfect fit for this new rover role, while the backer position will be more similar to what we have seen from the whips in the James Anderson era and prior.
3) For next season, this is the way the depth chart will look (unless injury strikes)
Mike: Jack Tyler, Deon Clarke, Andrew Moutpaukua (who is a prototype mike backer for Foster's system that reminds me of Vince Hall- great going forwards, not so great going east west)
*Chase Williams would likely move from backer if Tyler got hurt and start)
Backer: Tariq Edwards, Chase Williams, (Moss will redshirt)
*I wouldn't be shocked if Ronny Van Dyke plays on the weak side edge some in the 4-4 as well)
Whip: RVD, DVD, McKinnon, Shegog gets the shirt.
They see Clarke as a Mike (I don't know why, I think he is a backer) but I think the pissed off Samoan is the next starter. I'd prefer to have Clarke backing up Edwards with Williams as the caretaker at mike, and then have the flexibility to play Van Dyke at backer if needed (he is bigger than Edwards.)
I honestly didn't get to watch most of this game because of homework but from the limited amount I saw we looked bad in transition defense. People weren't hustling back and when they did they were collapsing the lane too early which left people wide open from the outside. Let's just use this NC State game for practice so we can beat Duke next Thursday. I know this team isn't very good, but Duke could be number 1 come next week, please show up and get Cassell rocking. If it convinces anyone I heard that they're giving out neon orange shirts.
I guess they finally have a reason to break these out.
how many can jokingly think schools no longer want to schedule possible upsets from the FCS. Being that we are one of the teams who have, I can see someone making the snide comment about us being in that same boat. I also understand how some think it's unfair to take away such a big payday from these smaller programs who also receive some spotlight from these match-ups.
The reality is that the landscape of big time college football is changing. Conferences are gaining more money through TV contracts and bowl tie-ins as part of the forthcoming playoff system. Going forward, SOS will have greater impact on figuring out the weight of each teams resume. And the only way to provide a case for your, or any team, is the quality of wins and losses. This is why the Boise State's and NIU's have had so much trouble breaking their own glass ceilings of sorts. As is, the ACC even gets its own grief when the strength of conference is further brought down by wins over even lesser quality teams. This year Florida State had the misfortune of having to schedule two such schools. The wins, no matter how substantial mean close to nothing.
As well, we all pay for a product that we expect to return a higher value than what those schools get. Student fees, booster donations, season tickets, etc are a big part of what goes into making our brand be at the forefront. So, when we donate money in order to even get the opportunity for better season tickets are we then not a little cheated when the product we receive are 11 games that have the potential to mean something along with one "gimme" where you can easily get tickets the same day for a fraction of the price of your own while watching in a half empty stadium. For those who can't afford season tickets are relegated to listening to coverage on the radio or some shitty online streaming of these games.
There is by far enough parity in the FBS to fill a schedule with a team or two from a lesser conference that doesn't fully dilute your strength of schedule and still allows for TV coverage.
Reaching new levels with the obligatory "Mike London was a cop" references.
Still higher levels than UVA's going to reach with the new hires.
Edmunds in my opinion could be Lee Suggs all over again....The measureables are there! I'd sure be happy to see 1,200 yards and 27 tds in a single season again! #BEAT BAMA
preferred walk-ons are typically guaranteed a spot on the team, even though they don't have a scholly ... and they can generally earn a scholarship down the line if their progression warrants it
