I always thought he had real potential in the WWE circuit. The dream isn't over for me.
some friends and i did the same shit once upon a time. we were like 13 or 14 though. . .
Wow- speechless. What an awesome video. Congrats to NIU players, coaches, and support staff on getting the bid. Funny, I am sure I may have also yelled at my TV (in a good way) last year when Tech was selected to go to the Sugar Bowl. Joe, you hit it right on the head: that is what this is all about.
If you look at the Final Four teams, only a few of them relied on their top-4 as much as we do now.
I'm hoping that Marshall keeps progressing (as you mentioned), and I hope Rankin improves, as well. Until that happens, we will live and die by Erick Green.

# | A Damning Indictment of Bryan Stinespring and Curt Newsome by "The Best Left Tackle In the NFL" You weren't alone. If I remember correctly, the draftnicks (Mel Kiper and Co.) called it a reach at the time because I think he was the third tackle taken in the First Round that year.
Please sweet jesus make a GIF of this
chill a bit. They put aluminium foil and toilet bowl cleaner in a soda bottle. It's pretty stupid, but no one was hurt and there was obviously no intent to harm anyone. It's just a poor attempt at a prank. College students occasionally do stupid things and you can rest assured they'll be chewed out and punished for it, but it's just not that huge a deal.
The incident involved a small explosive device that was detonated Sunday night near the 1600 block of Patrick Henry Drive in Blacksburg, Va. Nobody was injured, according to a Blacksburg police department news release.
Jimmy Turk, the attorney for Rody and Trimble, said Monday afternoon that this incident was a prank gone bad. Rody and Trimble put aluminum foil and toilet bowl cleaner into a soda bottle and left it outside someone else's apartment.
"It goes 'Boom,' blows up and made a loud noise," Turk said. "They went back to their apartmnent and were laughing about it. They certainly did not have any idea that it would be anything at all that would constitute a felony charge being brought."
Turk expects the the charges will be dropped to a misdemeanor in court once Rody and Trimble go through their preliminary hearing next month. But because both Rody and Trimble are facing a Class 5 felony, they have been indefinitely suspended from the football team until the charge is resolved, according to University policy. If convicted of a felony, they would be kicked off the football team permanently.
So essentially what they made was the next step up from exploding Mentos. In hindsight, still not the smartest decision, but again, college kids.
It's great that our top 4 are contributing so much but that's not good if one of them has a bad stretch. Hopefully someone else can step up and pick up some of the scoring. From what I've seen this year Marshall Wood has the best shot at being that guy, so hopefully he keeps progressing and becomes a dependable scorer come January.
I'm getting real sick of hearing all this kind of stuff. You would think that Tech has endured enough crap in the past few years, but no. All I get to hear about from people around me is how VT is the place to go if you want the students to die or get arrested. Obviously this is a VERY SMALL minority of people who make poor decisions and get caught, BUT WHY, OH WHY, ARE YOU MAKING AND SETTING OFF EXPLOSIVES!!!!!!!?????? WHAT POSSIBLE REASON COULD YOU POSSIBLY HAVE!? I love a good Hollywood explosion as much as the next guy, but to do something as stupid as to endanger yourself and those around you by building something that is, by design, a fatal weapon, WHY!!!???? Plus, you are part of a well know athletic program, and in some circles, local celebrities. You should hold yourself to a higher standard and know that people expect better of you. Go to college, do stupid things like get drunk and streak through campus, break curfew, sneak into a football game, or something dumb like that........NOT BUILD A FLIPPIN BOMB! Regardless of how this turns out, they should have known better. I won't judge their person, as I don't know them. I will only say that this is disgraceful and they should have known better.
Common sense people, develop some, please.
Every decision made this season seems bipolar.
...came at the hands of UVA!
My name is Joe Dirte, I added an e to the end, cause it sounds cool.
WHAT'S A HOKIE? 🦃

# | London Fires Coaches, Grants Rocco's Release, Still Refuses to Call Timeouts Hasn't heard that til know. A 4* CB...yes please!!
She didn't really get it. The B1G are an effing joke, but the ACC is just the donkey's behind. That's the way it is.
Just win. Keep winning, don't pay attention to the polls, just keep doing your thing and eventually everything will work itself out. Can't wait to see us beat up on WVU.

# | A Damning Indictment of Bryan Stinespring and Curt Newsome by "The Best Left Tackle In the NFL" Maybe a little, but if the holes aren't there then there isn't a thing the back can do. JC Coleman was the best at squirting through a little hole that wasn't really there. But the line just didn't make holes.

# | A Damning Indictment of Bryan Stinespring and Curt Newsome by "The Best Left Tackle In the NFL" Don't you think it may help if VT had a decent back over 200#s that liked to hit the hole and not cut for the sidelines? When was the last time you saw a VT back break a tackle between the tackles?
PIE!

# | A Damning Indictment of Bryan Stinespring and Curt Newsome by "The Best Left Tackle In the NFL" Yes, David Yost.....no connection that I know of, but his offenses have been prolific over the past three seasons (past season excluded...Tigers had a bunch of OL injuries and QB was injured too), and he's a great recruiter. I would hope that we don't restrict any search to someone with "connections". Steiny and Newsome had "connections". He could be interesting. Late word has itthat he's looking into the UTEP HC position, though, so nothing will probably come of it.

# | A Damning Indictment of Bryan Stinespring and Curt Newsome by "The Best Left Tackle In the NFL" First off, I assume you mean David Yost?
Why would he be coming to Blacksburg? Does he have some connection to the university or one of the coaches?
Why would we want him? Granted, he just finished his first season of facing SEC defenses, but they still averaged only 356 yards, good for 98th and a full 36 less than we did this season.
i'm speechless ... from the awesomeness
