Pry at Georgia Southern had them 9th in Total Defense as DC.
Did Kennesaw have a lot of opt-outs? This game just feels like its been a total mismatch. Maybe it was a REALLY bad 1st quarter that just took them out mentally for the game, but they couldn't do a damn thing on offense.
I hate to hear this. Everyone I know who has been through this says it was horrible. Hope you can get through to the other side in good shape. We will miss your input here if you can't fit us in; but do what is best for you. Concentrate on what is most important. Whether or not you involve a lawyer, you need someone you can trust to advise you. You might be too emotionally involved to be objective. Going back to my earlier comment about how horrible divorce is, all my friends have now reached a place post divorce where they are happy. Stay strong.
if you listen carefully to what the talking heads are saying you'll see that within a decade the playoff will essentially be a P2 invitational. It'll probably expand one more time to 16 teams (8 SEC, 8 B1G)
"Would you allow the winner of the Triple-A baseball league... In the World Series playoffs? That's the equivalent of what we do when JMU gets into the College Football Playoff and Notre Dame doesn't"
Edit: Oh deary me. I forgot to attribute the quote. Nick Saban.
I believe you're correct - I always thought that long straight northern border of Maryland was the Mason Dixon Line
that's a fantastic quote!! I'll have to remember that - it definitely describes some people I know
But what does Foster's agent think??
I've learned over the years that people will argue ethnic discrimination no matter what the facts or reality are.
Just nitpicking here but isn't maryland south of the mason Dixon line?
Sorry to hear. Hope both of you are able to move on and be successful.
I'm so sorry. Having advised people who are facing extreme strife and separation in marriage from a religious standpoint (I won't go into it here but I can talk to you about it) I understand how devastating this can be.
I won't disagree with anyone who says you should talk to a lawyer, but I would like to say that there are many divorce attorneys who push for frivolous restraining orders for their own benefit. It breaks down communication, forces both parties to fight and in many cases feel that they have to be less than truthful to their own families and friends about the situation. Not only would I be on guard against this suggestion from a lawyer unless there are legit safety concerns, but if you can avoid hostility during a conversation, I would suggest that you tell Susan that some avenue of peaceful communication should always be maintained even if you both agree "space" is necessary between you.
Maybe I'm totally wrong, but from your post I sense that you would prefer reconciliation to divorce. I hope you do and I'll pray for Susan too.
DC was much smarter than this guy. Even when he would engage in the goalpost moving we all hated, there was usually something more substantial to his initial positions than the conspiracy-brained mumbo jumbo above.
I definitely thought eliminating divisions was the right move... I was wrong. Not just because of tiebreakers, but because I didn't realize that a division runner up could absolutely have a path to the playoff. Miami just proved that was possible. TCU proved that you could lose the championship game and still make the playoff.
Reminded me of a quote from a funny obituary: 'he was often wrong, but never in doubt'....
I knew it wasn't him either. I guess I should have added the /s.
I appreciated his style.
Yeah, that would explain what I was wondering about. I mean, we had a good game, and they had some moments, but it just didn't look like an ACC team. But hey, a ween is a ween, man.
41-6 WMU LATE IN THE 3RD AND I PICKED THEM :)
also alludes to additional UVA alums who may become coaches for us
Interesting insight from Bud Foster on his podcast regarding the pry hire - high level Bud is very on board with the hire and think it was a great decision.

So sorry French. Been there, done that. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. It's a kick in the nuts with the accuracy and power of a John Love field goal. Lots of sound advice above from people who are here to support you. You are not alone brother! It's a long journey of personal healing but always know there are better days ahead even when you can't see it yet
Totally agree and hopefully this Year Zero is better than our last Year Zero.
Let me rephrase it this way:
- If it's a lame match up (ie; VT vs BC), I'd love for one of those games to be moved abroad every half decade.
- If it's a matchup that is sold to a sterile neutral site (think Alabama/Wiscy at Soldier Field), then I'd love for one of those games to be moved abroad every half decade.
- If it's a rivalry game or an otherwise interesting game, it should stay at home
- If it's an OOC home-and-home, then I'd like to keep it in Lane (and visit the opponent stadium)
I understand the importance of home games to the local economy. I'm just speaking as a Virginia Tech fan (who lives in Atlanta).
Very sorry to hear it, French. I hope in time you're able to heal and find the closure you need
If they get those players back, possibly. No announcements on what their injuries are and expected timeline.
Andy Bitter posted the Pry DC contract details over on TSL
