If Bielema thought what Meyer did last year was bad in regards to recruiting he is going to be so butt hurt in the sec west. Also Chryst has to be #1 on Wiskys list...

# | London Fires Coaches, Grants Rocco's Release, Still Refuses to Call Timeouts @JLMHokie mentioned to me on twitter that he never seemed to be high on Virginia Tech and I agree, especially considering how early on he pulled the trigger for UVa. I know he and Davon Morgan talk(ed) a ton because I remember Davon freaking out when Tim committed to UVA talking about his "little bro going to UVA".
I would not be surprised if:
1. Mike London was able to smooth things out with Tim
2. Shane was able to flip him to VT
3. Tim chose somewhere different altogether.
Welcome to recruiting, where adults try to read the minds of 17-18 year old kids.

Today is a pretty exciting day. So what are the odds Pitt loses their coach, again?
The point is making a bomb fueled by hydrogen gas is dangerous and really dumb. No way of controlling how much hydrogen is generated before it is detonated. You could make a loud noise or create a bomb equivalent to a grenade. No controls.
Kind of like the genius in Indianapolis last month that decided to blow up a house. Filled it with natural gas, detonated it and blew up the entire development.
Killed the neighbors next door and completely leveled 4 homes. The shockwave blew 32 homes off there foundations. Currently all 36 homes have been completely leveled, or will be leveled, and the neighborhood will be rebuilt.
Although no harm was done in this case, the disregard for public safety and the potential harm it could have caused could lead to a felony conviction.
Lots of money.
Arkansas, a middle of the road SEC program, has 150% higher revenue than VT. They have Notre Dame revenue.
Arkansas.
It should go to Collin Klein or Geno Smith. Yeah people can hate on Geno Smith, but the only reaons he isn't even in the conversation anymore is because his team can't play defense. 40 Tds to 6 picks, and over 70% completion with over 4000 yards passing is ridiculous... Klein's numbers are also redic. If Suh didn't win it in 09, Te'o shouldn't either. And Yeah, no Vick win = no Manziel win.

# | A Damning Indictment of Bryan Stinespring and Curt Newsome by "The Best Left Tackle In the NFL" It all starts, or dies, in the trenches.
The bomb they made doesn't have enough power to level a home. I've made one numerous times and I can probably make one right now. It's not that big lol.
Yeah, the build up of hydrogen inside the closed container created enough pressure to explode the bottle and presumably make a very loud 'pop' sound. A 'Hydrogen Bomb' uses nuclear fusion and fission to create a thermonuclear explosion. Now, I'm no chemist or physicist, but I think your comment, if serious, is way off base. As to it's house leveling power... I just... I don't know.
What they did had a lot more in common to leaving the top on a container of soup while putting it in the microwave, allowing the steam build up to make a mess of the inside of the microwave, not to mention soup container.
Same here
Glorious!!!
Is it possible to get a basketball schedule button up top? Maybe next to the football schedule button. I know it's a football site and those buttons are football related but it would be very convenient if the bball schedule was up there as well. Just a thought.

# | A Damning Indictment of Bryan Stinespring and Curt Newsome by "The Best Left Tackle In the NFL" And don't forget about "The Little Giants"!
I believe Indiana and Duke have 5 players scoring double digits+ and are ranked 1-2. Either way as it pertains to Tech its impressive to have that many people scoring in double figures when you have someone avg 24 ppg.

# | London Fires Coaches, Grants Rocco's Release, Still Refuses to Call Timeouts ....he seemed to be a bit loose. I can't remember, but I believe he had a tweet after he committed about having an open mind or something.
regarding this line:
"the best teams generally do not rely on their top 4 guys as much as we are this year."
The data in this chart shows that we are above average, but not egregiously. We are at 74%, the Final Four avg is 70% with about 1 out of every 4 Final Four teams in our neighborhood.

# | A Damning Indictment of Bryan Stinespring and Curt Newsome by "The Best Left Tackle In the NFL" Add Miami to that list as well. There's 4 games we could have/should have won. Of course, we could have lost the GT and UVA games too.
Sodium hydroxide plus aluminum yields hydrogen. So in affect these fellas made a hydrogen bomb.
A hydrogen bomb of this size has enough power to level a home.
No to smart. Not so sure that gets reduced to a misdeamor.
Re: "Our top 2 scorers contributed 40.7% of the total team scoring, and our top 4 scorers contributed to 66.4% of the total team scoring - both lows under Greenberg"
I think they were bad things under Greenberg. I feel like his offense depended very heavily on one or two guys making plays at the end of the possession. I posted this with the intention to highlight the drastic change we've seen thus far from last season to this season.
But I agree with your point - the best teams generally do not rely on their top 4 guys as much as we are this year. In order to be successful in March, we will absolutely need other guys to step up when Green or Eddie have off games.
As long as we have a fb in our offense this must be the required look to be the starter
"Our top 2 scorers contributed 40.7% of the total team scoring, and our top 4 scorers contributed to 66.4% of the total team scoring - both lows under Greenberg"
If you ask me, that's almost desired. If you depend on one person, what happens when they get in foul trouble or injured? We saw that the team struggles without Green on the court last Saturday, but to me, you want your team to spread out the scoring. I want to see our top 4 averaging double digits and everybody capable of putting the ball in the hoop. If we can do that and know that regardless of who is on the court we can still score and make things happen, this team could be capable of making some noise.
What I would like to see is to do the same comparison but on the defensive side. How many points, rebounds, turnovers, etc. were we (and the other teams) allowing and how does that translate into their success? You can score 86 points a game and that's great, but if you give up 87 per game... Those Final Four teams not only had good offenses, but strong defenses that made sure that no matter how many points they scored, the other team scored less.
that's the key number I see, we're averaging more PPG than every Final Four team but the up-and-down UNC team with Hansborough at the C.
Our PPG will drop by 10, then how will we win games? We are going to be in a lot of very tight games, luckily we're good FT shooters. But we need more efficiency in half court sets ....and ......of course....TO PLAY DEFENSE.
Thanks for putting things in perspective once again. The success should be congratulated with the caveat that its just the beginning of the season. These guys are especially fun to watch though.
The first thing I thought of when I read the Bielema was leaving:
rumors of ....
Chryst > Wisconsin
Bud Foster > Pitt
