good play, but I had to study this for a moment before realizing he wasn't wearing his VT uniform (helmet yes, but not the rest). Its amazing how close our uniforms can look like the Reese's color palette.

I'm for this. Can we get Reese's as a NIL sponsor and we can be PBU?

Instead of bacon, we can have an unnecessary amount of Peanut Butter Cups on hand at basketball games and we can shoot them out of cannons in the stands or hand them out when people leave Cassel.

It's both, we'd have on of those graphics that changes based on the angle you look at it, one angle, Chicago maroon lettering, Pass Breakup University, the as you walk by it shows in burnt orange, Peanut Butter University with a reeses cup where the flying VT was.

Peanut Butter U

I'm definitely down for this! Free Skippy Creamy peanut butter coupons for the win!

Skipper shooting Skippy every score sounds delicious.

"Shooting skippy" sounds like a euphemism.

Good thing Weaver's not around to ban that too.

As long as it's jars of actual Skippy and not me, that'd be cool! I go through a three pound jar every 2-3 days so I'd definitely enjoy high scoring games!

Creamy peanut butter is for children and dogs.

And waffles, nutty doesn't spread well over waffles

Fair enough- I still don't know what I wanna do when I grow up!

If you haven't ever tried peanut butter and bacon...it will change your life.

We put the K in Kwality

Elvis Burger at Jack Browns after a late night of drinking is heaven.

A few months ago i had a PB&J burger that involved bacon-peanut butter and a a pepper jelly on my burger.

Tried it as a novelty and it ended up amazing.

My breakfast is waffles with peanut butter and bacon.

You're a better man for it.

Thanks, I do like to think that my breakfast choice makes me more superior!

Reading the article from the Progress really makes you appreciate the articles on this fine site....

Sometimes we live no particular way but our own

He didn't have that many opportunities to shine, helped in run support a bit but it was pretty obvious all the DBs were soft on that.

He was mostly playing safety or matching up with the slot. It was also obvious the QBs were not really looking at the deep ball that often (there's a number of reasons why). I thought he played well.

"Unfortunately" the best DB play went to the UVA corner on a pick-six (but he was wearing the name/number of his slain teammate so that was bittersweet)

I'm still figuring this out.

"I always knew what the back end of the defense was doing," Conner said, "but now I see how it all works together with the D-Line, linebackers, corners and safeties."

Yea, when I watched the Hamilton defense, I didn't know how the DL, LBs, and secondary worked together either.

If you're not sure if my comment warrants a "/s", it probably does.

For what it's worth, this isn't an original take. From Athlon right before the 2021 season:

"Schematically the defense is a mess. They're trying to marry multiple schemes. You can see some of Bud [Foster]'s stuff, then other stuff, then back to Bud."

"It looks like the absence of a decision, honestly. Bud would sell out and get you. You couldn't run because the box was stuffed and he'd dare you to beat his back-end guys. Now it's just a jumbled mess."

Stephen Godfrey (who collects these quotes for Athlon) talked about it on SZD a few times - basically said that JHam tried to keep Bud's philosophy in the secondary, but use a different philosophy on the front 7, and no coach he (Godfrey) talked to thought it made sense at all.

When I read Connor's comments, this was immediately where my mind went.

Lol epic stiff-arm to the face of the receiver
