Awesome post!

Thin Frank vs. Fat Frank makes so much sense...

What has kept him off the field of late? I know he came back for the Bowling Green game but I haven't heard anything about him since then.

Unfortunately, the fan base has come to resemble the much debated "entitlement generation". The fans expect to go to a game, be entertained, and get a victory. There is no urgency in the fan-base to be that 12th man, to cause miscues for the opposition, and to breath life into our boys on the field. I haven't been to a game in 2 years because I'm in the UK. However, I was up from midnight to 3am watching that debacle of a game the other night. There are those of us that give up sleep over this team but the joy and the right to sit in the stands as a student is taken for granted.

We have finally reached the point where "Stick It In" has no relevance with the students as none of them, save for maybe some doctorate students, were there when this is was a viable and feared chant.

Also, the use of the College Freshman meme for the Enter Sandman T-shirt... No words. Excellent work, Joe & TKP Staff.

Maybe Bud can bring him a few extra sandwiches in his lunch pail. Thanks for the Monday pick-me-up

Wow, that will never happen again. If only O'Stinespring could get that lucky his play calling!

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Rodriguez is the one who claimed he wanted to go to Virginia Tech. When he found out he'd have to work harder to get into VT than into Clemson he chose the easy route to getting on a football team. Probably was helped along by Dabo "I like PR" Swinney smelling a great story to milk in the press.

If VT makes an exception for him, we have to make exceptions for every wounded / decorated NCO that barely passed high school. Some people just aren't cut out for college, and VT Admissions tries to screen those folks out best they see fit. Rodriguez could care less about his academics, he's said as much in interviews - he is 100% focused on playing college football. Contrast that with a coworker of mine who had an equally rough time in high school, enlisted in the Army, spend a few years grinding it out in Iraq and Afghanistan. After he got out of the Army, he enrolled in community college and obtained his Associates Degree, which allowed him to transfer to Virginia Tech where he took full advantage of his opportunity and obtained not only a Bachelor of Science but a Masters in Mechanical Engineering. That's the kind of guy who I want enrolling at VT, not some borderline FCS / DIV II player looking to ride his service in the Army to a spot on the roster of a BCS football team in the easiest manner possible.

Clemson has different standards and luckily for Sgt Rodriguez he qualified for admission there without any additional community college classes. Also lucky for him that the NCAA granted him an eligibility waiver. That doesn't change the fact that he could have attended Virginia Tech and played for the Hokies if he was willing to put in the work up front. So don't put this on Virginia Tech, when other veterans do what it takes without complaint.

I know I saw somewhere that he is a wounded vet on the Clemson team. I thought the sports writers down there were trying put a story out that we disrespected him. So is the story that he wanted to play at Va Tech and they wouldn't let him on the team then?

Add coaches in denial in there.

no effin way. NONE.

IF there was a change (big IF) i'd hope that whoever the new offensive coordinator is would be able to pick who he wanted as staff.

Shane managed special teams at South Carolina and I feel like he'd be the only one Frank Beamer would trust to take care of his pride and joy. There needs to be someone dedicated to special teams now and someone that is hungry to make their legacy.
