But a good way to start things off.
BCO runs the pick-em in the Six Pick each week.
I don't have the bandwidth to do fantasy, but feel free to use my team name:
The Tony Danza Tap Dance Experience.
Also, is someone doing a pick-em?

I had the conversation the other day with TKP that this trend of spread offenses has already resulted in defenses recruiting to speed and using hybird guys in 3-3-5 and nickel as base looks. Defenses will get smaller and faster. When that happens, somebody in a non-SEC power conference (most likely a team that has access to good recruiting and resources, but has underperformed) will get a head coach that knows how to run a power based offense like Stanford. If that coach can get buy-in, with top notch talent that Stanford (outside of Luck) couldn't recruit, they will be a dominant team and that formula will start being copycated. As we all know, football is cyclical. The spread is just 1930's single wing and 1970's veer played from a spread formation.
Now, do I like the spread? Well, if I were a coach, I'd prefer running a grind it out smash mouth pro-I with a little veer mixed in. However, I am a firm believer that with precision, player buy-in, and talent, any offensive philosophy can be successful. The single wing, the T, the wishbone, the power I, the split back veer, the pro-I, the run and shoot, and the spread all are sound offensive philosophys. That is why they work.
I'll play just let me know any needed info
I do too. I think we will see it, but none of the tailbacks really fit the David Wilson mold for making that sweep/fake effective to create space for Logan. I could see them running more to the tailback side, which the tailback pretty much serving as a lead blocker after the fake handoff. The pistol allows you to do that to both sides as well.
It seems to me you are more a fan of an I formation man blocking power offense than spread type offenses. Are you starting to become a fan of the spread a lil more nowadays?
i'll have a special place in my heart for inverted veer ran against Miami FTW last year with LT being the inside run and Wilson the outside run threat.
live or online draft?
I can always use more leagues to curse at on Sunday.
Please note, we have drawn this up against a very basic 4-3 look. Georgia Tech runs a 3-4, so these plays will look somewhat different against the Yellow Jackets.
Yeah, I stick to NFL for fantasy.
I definitely would like to do this. I'm assuming it's NFL?
He even had 12 DE spots he could pick from and didn't put any on the list. Even though Gayle had better stats in less games than FSU's Werner
Glad to see this positive mention for LT3 (and Holmes).
Maybe we have been focusing on the wrong place in thinking about our potential for 2012. We’ve said and heard quite a bit about how good our defense is going to be. But, to me, there just isn’t enough hype (and hope) around the fact that we have our best returning QB since 2000. Not 2010, but 2000. Maybe Saturday’s scrimmage should be seen as a hint that LT3 is going to be a BEAST this year against whatever defense lines up against him. We all know he’s going to be very good, but there just hasn’t been enough talk about the possibility he could be straight-up SPECTACULAR, the kind of guy that makes us think we're in any game regardless of the score or the opponent's ranking. Honestly, despite everyone that's come through, Vick was the last guy that made me think that.
I think LT3 will be that guy.
I like that he said that about Holmes too! It's a good sign. Also, he picked LT3 to be acc player of the year (VT's trophy for the third straight year)
...but...
I hate his Acc champ prediction/national champ prediction, we're gonna knock fsu outta contention for at least one of those on Thursday Nov 8!
I like that he says that Holmes is ahead of the curve too. Still, I think there will certainly be some drop off from DMFW. Regardless, in Holmes I trust.
I like that kind of system because it takes the coaches out of it and puts the quarterback in charge (the field general of yesteryear.) However, I don't think that this is quite where the Hokies are at right now.
On the base pistol set that I saw, it gives the Hokies 4 options on the same basic play movement. The tight end pulls on the play, and Logan can either give on the read option for an interior or an outside dive to the tailback; or he can keep and follow the tailback after a fake, which emulates a veer "double dive;" or he can fake to the tailback and hit the tight end, who goes to the short flat on play action.
The Hokies didn't run any screens or straight pass pro from the pistol. All the screens came out of the I formation with twins, and all the passing from the pistol came on play action.
that he told Wyatt Teller he would do cartwheels if he committed:

so who all is officially in this?
