I heard at least one other person refer to van Zegren as the flying Dutchman, which might be the best nickname idea ever. Hopefully it catches on
whether it's down-field for a pass or finding the cut-back lane when running. He has hard time recognizing when the defense is in match-up zone or man. I really hope he gets good film work in this offseason.
I was in the Nav 8 years, and i have 2 generations of Academy guys with my dad and his dad, and this idea stinks! Please tell me it is a cruel joke that the B1G commish came up with to further punish the ACC for giving a home to Notre Dame. Navy brings nothing to the table except being a replacement team in the state of Maryland. Is Swofford really that desperate/stupid? Almost nobody in MD cares about Navy sports anyway, except a small crowd in Anapolis and DC of current/former Navy folks.
If Navy gets the invite to join the ACC, VT needs to bolt the ACC like a fat turkey smelling gunpowder in November.
Oh hey look, maroon pants!
Therefore at this point I'll take ANYTHING. Just something that identifies Virginia Tech and one that is stuck to. No more of this pistol/spread/flustercuck/hand-it-off-and-hope-it-works junk. "Multiple" is not an offense.
But seriously, Tony Franklin. Joe got me on that band wagon and I'm not coming off.
You're right. Looks a lot less out of place than the lunch pail.
Maybe Mike thought he could pack up those two timeouts and take them with him for next season's Commonwealth Cup match.
Burnop is not good at basketball, he doesn't know anything about it. He is effective because he teams well with Roth and s a VT cheerleader, but preferably your color guy knows the sport he s covering.
Logan's only non-overthrow.
Go Hokies! This team is for real everyone. The offense can score with anyone.
I want an offense that can protect the quarterback and open holes for the runners. Some imaginative play calling would be refreshing.
I watched the last 8 minutes of the Iowa game tonight, and I am impressed. It's the first time I have seen this team, and while I've just seen a small clip, I can say this team is VERY different from Greenberg's team.
First of all, the team cares. They're hustling their ass off on both ends of the court, and while they could improve on defense and on the boards, they're putting 100% effort the whole game.
Second, the motion offense, with multiple pick action is very different from the one-on-one street style that Greenberg employed. It's obviously paying dividends, and many more players are getting involved.
Lastly, the transition game is looking really good. Off rebounds and turnovers, multiple men are flying down that court for easy buckets.
That being said, I will make a concerted effort to watch this OK state game, and most other games this season.
That's all I ask for.
From the 2004 GT game, with Roland Minor on a 64-yard interception return for TD in the 4th. Bud trying to keep pace with James Griffin and Minor is just priceless.
I don't recall Logan having great read skills at all this year, especially in the passing game. Logan was locking onto his primary reads all year and throwing into double and triple coverage with guys open. Not to mention Logan seems to keep on almost every read option, but that can also be the product of a shaky line and young backs.
Triple option baby!
I'm not serious, but really I'd be ok with just about any cohesive system as long as we don't half ass it. I think something like Auburn ran with Cam Newton would be great, but I'd be happy with a Wisconsin style power running game. Fuck it, even the triple option, if we commit
Bill Roth and Mike Burnop do just as well with B-Ball as football. Never listened to their basketball broadcast. We have the best radio duo in all of college sports, I daresay.
Fuck that!
It also sets up the play action pass and Knowles a burner on the outside. could easily have a play action dive with Knowles going on a deep route and Logan just lets it fly
Similarly to what Auburn ran when they had Cam Newton at Qb. Auburn ran a whole lot of power running with fullback's alligned off the line in the backfield in addition to a running back while lining up Cam in Shotgun. It gives the oppurtunity for Logan to run the ball, or a running back, while still keeping the D honest on the outside.
With the departure of Mark Stoops from FSU, will they be as hot on defense next year?
Agreed. But we absolutely need to emphasize a great O-line to incorporate it.
Ok I'm in the Navy.... And adding navy to the ACC is just awful!!! Is that a joke?? What on earth would that bring to the conference?
But i've always been a fan of the power offense. its safe and efficient and can wear down a defense. we could have a power offense with the spread option as like our change of pace plays
...where Virginia Tech go bowling? As long as fans follow the team, that's all that matters. It's all about about:
*Benjamins
*Fans travel
*Attractiveness - which is why I am calling the ACCCG between FSU and GT as ugly as a mullet.
I am intrigued by the possibility of playing either USC-West or Vanderbilt. As for playing the Big Least team again, I'll pass on that. I think it's safe to say there's a Big East fatigue amongst Hokies Nation.
I would settle for no more slow-developing, five-yards-deep handoffs which result in TFLs because the line cannot stand their ground.
