Where was he a 5*? I'm only seeing 4*s everywhere
It's not! Such a missed opportunity. Need to let him know he needs to change it.
Here are the last 10 year-end SP+ rankings for VT.
Am I hallucinating or is this 20 not ten?
Kolby's Korner
It's not? I always thought it was. Definitely should change it to Kolby's Korner.
Derrick Tangelo added as Assistant Defensive Line coach/Defensive Analyst.
Played D Line for Atlanta Falcons and transferred to play at Penn St under Franklin from Duke
And high housing costs which also jacks up the price of everything else
Too Grunk to Guck?

I absolutely agree with this.
I guess I was speaking in terms of the next year or so. I just want to see some competence and consistency along the way. The type of competence and consistency that doesn't force our defense to be on the field for 40+ minutes a game.
I think, for example, Miami has done a really good job with this during their little playoff run here. Commit to the run... Manage the clock really well... get the game into the 4th quarter.
On Kolby's Corner (it should really be "Kolby's Korner") last night, Kolby was saying this guy is legit legit
Like my wine loving friends put it, they only have one glass of wine...but it's never allowed to be empty until time to go home or hit the rack.
CJF won't just match like that. He has a pay band for each position/level of player, and won't go outside of it.
If Gosnel stays, it means either IU didn't offer him that much, or money isn't the primary factor.
eh... I don't disagree, but it's really hard to win games without (a) explosive plays and (b) scoring touchdowns.
Yes, I understand 3 of the 4 remaining CFP teams recently won games against marque opponents by just "grinding out first downs and getting some decent FG attempts along the way" - But those teams also adjusted to play some top defenses, and are quite capable of blowing out some other pretty decent teams.
I remember a couple of my friends went to the game. I really confused why were playing ECU in Charlotte.
I also had an acquaintance from high school who went to Furman that I (for lack of a better term) despised (mostly for his extreme arrogance and poor social awareness). This kid was messaging me on facebook talking trash "it could be close, I think we can beat you" (this dude knew zero about football, much less college football). Furman was my first home game as a student, and we were up 3-0 at half time I think, and I remember thinking "oh fuck Patrick is going to talk so much shit about this and I was really hoping I'd never have to talk to him about anything every again"

A top 40 offense and defense would put us in the top 30 by SP+. Add some good in game coaching (not CJF strong suit lol) and we're a 8/9 win team
Be happy you don't remember the first game of that season. Dont look it up unless you want to relive it.
It wasn't for lack of trying.
I would love to read this post.
2008 was my first semester as a student/fan of VT (or college football at all). All I really remember is losing to BC, beating Nebraska at Nebraska, and beating BC in the ACCCG in... tampa? And the Orange bowl over Cincy. I remember everyone telling me that Kam and Jason Worlds took a step back (but then both got drafted).
Would be a fascinating read from those who could better contextualize the season.
I wouldn't be mad if we met Cal in a bowl game and he started laughing at their defense...
I stumbled on a few clips of him at a camp of some sort and he was dipping and ripping and being violent with his hands. Seems like the kind of kid who will thrive under good coaching and polish his game with ease.
I've been trying to put my finger on why it felt so familiar. This is 100% it!
That's not really the point of the bluechip ratio (or the 247 composite).
If you want to understand the talent on the roster each season, you need to regrade every kid every year.
The bluechip ratio defines a minimum threshold for winning a national championship. So far, no one has won a natty with a sub-50% BCR.
Hard. Smart. Tough.
He's one of the best receiving TEs in the country. I can't say much for his blocking because I'm not a great judge of that, but I'm confident he's one of the best receiving. B+ receiving grade for a TE is pretty elite. The fact that Indiana/Cig wants him validates that.
