ODU is joining C-USA in 2015 according to Bitter. But this says in 2013.
Which is it? Wikipedia says FCS-Independent in 2013, FBS-Independent in 2014, then C-USA in 2015.
Wut?

The 2019 game scares me. Between ODU's rate of growth and some comments I've seen on Andy Bitter's weekly chats, my guess is they will be #1 in the nation by that time. College Gameday 2019 starring Jason White, Seth Greenberg, and Lee Corso's head won't know what hit them.
"Thanks for signing up for UVA facts"
I like it too... I have friends that play on ODU football team. But they'll be gone by 2016 unfortunately. Would be cool to see them play Tech.
Or we could just add him to all the UVa and WVU related newsletters out there...
take your email down now, so it does't get caught up by a bot.
I posted in another location Todd washington's credentials. He played in the league and has made his way into nfl coaching quickly. I think there is more potential and upside with him but either seem like an upswing from the current situation
wasn't sure of the specifics, but i thought something had changed with the rule, mostly because the panthers don't dress clausen each week (whether he should even be on the roster is a topic for another day). Just double checked it: the NFL got rid of that exception and the 3rd qb counts against the active roster like anyone else, but they upped it from 45 to 46 guys. guessing the panthers would rather have depth somewhere else.
the salary concern mentioned is another good point. Vick would be an expensive backup right now.
imagine them standing in the same backfield
i think thats a huge concern with whoever comes in. obviously shane was a proven recruiter but ill be real interested in whoever comes in and their recruiting ability
makes that clip.
"good lord."
thanks for clearing that up. im like a few others and don't comment much but i love tkp. its my homepage and i think this will be a great addition
Brilliant.
...on actually coaching offensive lineman. We hired for recruiting last time, and it has blown up in our face, save Tyrod.
I'm fine with a non-recruiting OL coach, if he just wants to coach the hell out of some OL.
If Newsome left JMU in 2005, wasn't this guy his actual replacement?
that he picks his own OL coach and isn't dependent on the limited "Beamer Network" of guys. Maybe it's Malone, but I would prefer we hire based on merit either way.
I hear that Bud guy is pretty good, right?
The fans have to remember everybody has to start somewhere.
But then again, I believe success brings recruits just as much if not more than recruiting. Also, if we get these good recruits, but they don't pan out due to coaching, then what is the point of good recruiting?
But there's also the argument that each position coach doesn't solely recruit their position.
They estimate a single smoked turkey leg contains more than 1000 calories.
Taking the fam to Disneyland next week and while not as good a Lane stadium, the turkey legs there are pretty awesome. Put me down for about 4000 calories....
I'm extra motivated to catch all of the pre-season, and hope for the occasional blowout. Flacco is tough as nails.
...his pregame meal yesterday was chik-fil-a
It's a fella from a smaller program looking to possibly make a bigger impact. If the reasons for the fire ARE NOT based off production as previously stated then we may be getting a steal. JMU may be FCS, but they are usually a formidable program there. The talent he had at his disposal only provided so much.
As far as recruiting goes you'd have to think a guy who played OL with the program, was a grad assistant here, has lived and made inroads in VA competing with the likes of Tech and UVA SHOULD be able to make an impact right away on that front.
I sadly think too many fans believe big names make the biggest impact. when looking for an HC replacement down the line I won't disagree. However, for a line coach deeper in the assistant end of things. A guy familiar to our school with some experience bodes well. After all, Bud Foster was taken from a little school called Murray State.
...who plays LT for the Dukes, has nothing but good things to say about Malone.
and if Newsome is really out, I'm all for getting someone with real connections to the program
While it seems like a nice opportunity, particularly in playing the Norfolk area, I am particularly concerned about how the selection committee for the new playoff system will view it. I know its a bit hypothetical or out here, but a lot of talk has suggested that teams willing to take bigger risks and play big names for premier conferences will be rewarded for it by the selection committee of the future system. I'm not sure there will be the same value in playing a Conference USA team in 2016 as it is now, particularly given we have what feels like an 800 year deal with ECU already.
