I think we will be RV if we win tomorrow against Wake. Doubt we jump all the way to rankings otherwise. Got to continue to win.
Add UNC to the mix too.
The Phillips only has as much power as the member school presidents give him. I agree that he's a dumbass, but he's also forced to find consensus amongst this collection of mismatched schools. In what world do FSU, UNC, and Syracuse have anything in common?
LaMar Morgan from Michigan is a possibility. Got his start under Franklin as a GA, had the safeties coach / Co DC role at Michigan the last two seasons
Drones was 1/35 pick/throws. Pribula was 1/30. Drones still had 17 TDs to 9 picks this year. Would much rather we focus on Grunkemeyer vs Pribula.
On the other hand, ND shits the bed in major bowl games even more than Miami does around Halloween.
McDonalds (was a bad analogy) is not Michelin star food but it is the pinnacle of excellence in Fast Food.
McDonalds is not the pinnacle of excellence in fast food. McDonald's has better financials, but not better food. I can think of at least five, maybe ten, fast food restaurants that have better food.
Check out Ethan Grunkmeyer's stats from the last 6 games.
Edit: Here's his last five...
Assuming this is COMP, ATT, %COMP, YDS, TD, INT, looks like 81 for 111, 73.0% completion, 7 TDs, 1 INT.
He's headed to Tennessee.
Tennessee is expected to hire Anthony Poindexter as a defensive backs coach, sources tell @CBSSports.Had been at Penn State as co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach since 2021. pic.twitter.com/0m981TYCJs— Matt Zenitz (@mzenitz) January 2, 2026
I noticed that too and had the same reaction. But his completion percentage is really high. Setting aside jokes about were they counting completions to the other team in his stats, it seems really odd to have such a high completion percentage and such a poor TD:interception ratio. Were they a massive ground and pound team and so they would run for almost all the scores and not have any deep passing threats? The numbers just puzzled me.
What is a good movie is subjective. Rotten tomatoes proved this by showing critically acclaimed movies weren't always the movies that audiences liked. So what makes a great movie? the critic liking it or the audience? An example, Waterboy has 33% from critics and 71% from audience. Is it a bad movie? you may think so, but 71% of those that reviewed it say otherwise. It is subjective. You don't like Adam Sandler. got it. Doesn't mean he hasn't put out some good to great movies.
McDonalds (was a bad analogy) is not Michelin star food but it is the pinnacle of excellence in Fast Food. Those are polar opposite sides of food. Doesn't mean its not excellent in its category. Like for example, Virginia Tech the school may be ranked in top 100 but its Engineering school may be ranked in top 10. Excellence in its category.
Talk about curbing my enthusiasm...
11 Passing TDs & 9 INTs
He's just a slightly better version of Drones. No thanks.
The S*** is getting real.
I guess he just got more expensive.
(it wasn't the B1G it was the SEC but I'm not letting that stop me) yes, I too remember 2011.
Tried to add that to my sig, but there's a max of 255 characters. =^/
Lenny Wirtz and I were on a first name basis...
Would like to know more about that.
Yet we all know what he means.
I don't know how you can go over there. I can barely stand the UI on TechSideline. Using that on The Sabre would be a new level of hell.
Smart move on his part. Expands his coaching network, will get different perspectives, and safeties are a key position group in Knowles's scheme.
Not sure where that leaves VT though.
ND deserved to be there over Alabama, no doubt.
I'll credit Hokie Bird 94 texting me last night with the best take on the Indiana/Alabama game: "Alabama fans haven't been this sad since the Emancipation Proclamation."
Holy fuck. 911, I'd like to report a murder.
That's right. The BCS National Championship Game would be a rematch of the B1G Championship Game. Ugh.
Gross sales isn't what makes a movie good.
And it's likewise not a measure of excellence in food.
Sales is a measure for investors. The internet does a great job of making people think that opening day sales is measure of excellence in film making, when it's actually a measure of film marketing.
I'm not sure what wikipedia is a measure of. It's just what some person wrote on the internet, so to a large degree a lot like twitter.
It's the r-word slur for someone who is mentally deficient.
Bro, it's an art. Art is only good if someone thinks it's good. And when it comes to movies, more people will go to a movie if they hear it is good from critics, reviews, friends, etc. So, when a movie is GOOD, more people PAY to go see it. And when some people think a movie is good, they will PAY to see it multiple times. Gross sales is therefore a metric for a good movie (but again, not the only metric).
For movies, marketing helps with gross sales but only to a certain degree. Marketing cannot turn a bad movie into a top grossing film. There are hundreds of examples of huge ad campaigns for movies that fail in the box office. Marketing cannot completely overcome bad reviews and discontent from moviegoers.
A good movie can be undermarketed and thus gross sales are not reflective of the movie quality. But as said, gross sales is only one of the major metrics of movie quality. It is undeniable that high grossing films are in fact popular because masses of people do not pay to watch a bad film, and definitely will not pay to see a movie multiple times. To reach the threshold of top-grossing film, enough people and critics had to have the opinion it was good such that an accumulative mass of the population decide to spend money to watch it and some people decide to spend money to watch it multiple times.
This isn't a hard concept.
