Man, rewatching the 2014 VT game today reminded me again of my favorite player from that time period - Synjyn Days. IIRC, dude came in at QB. Then bounced to A-Back. Then to B-back, where he settled in the rotation until (IIRC) Lesley got hurt that year. He picked up and never took his foot off...

Thanks for bringing back this memory. Never gets old. :D

Most designs dictate a border. (Not saying the design you want is not a nice thing to have - just saying it's not insane we don't have it.) I'm personally just glad that someone is making gold shirts with white GT logos that are pretty solidly built.

18 year-old kids might also learn the value of the phrase, "Get it in writing."

Not according to FSU and Clemson. Somebody should probably inform the Big 10 and SEC of that.

Here you go. IMO, it’s just an all-around odd-looking shoe.Reminds me of the ugly-*** Skechers that had the giant platform rounded sole. Props to Adidas for the nice packaging, though. And I like the color scheme - wish I had gotten a pair of Ultraboosts, but a $200 pair of shoes just isn’t in...

I don't have the problem with Adidas that so many of you do - I actually like every single Tech thing I've bought made by Adidas. Scratch that - almost every single thing. Given the 50% off, last week I pulled the trigger on a pair of Alphaboosts. And having now seen them and tried them on, I...

And you falsely equated his statement that perception of a company can improve with an argument that, like Taurus, the ACC will take 60%+ market share in college football. There was no statement about anyone becoming the "market leader." As an educator, I'm sure you've called out many straw man...

Fun read. Caveat is that he only focuses on offense, and makes little to no mention of defense. And if our experience doesn't make a good point of it, UNC can also tell you how a team with a great offense and an anemic defense performs. Still, I like his perspective...

I remember the story of Brent Key recruiting him, where in the middle of the conversation CBK stepped away to take a quick phone call while Chase continued speaking to another coach. 2 minutes later Key came back and said something to the effect of, "That was just the head of Turner...

That chart is indeed sobering. Still, I note that it chart was provided by FSU, and I'm also looking closely at the specifics. It would be interesting to see this chart a) including the ACC Network, and b) for the years 2017-2021. Obviously FSU has historically benefitted from the narrative...

Agreed! Also closer to home, so that's probably a big plus.

It certainly doesn’t make me happy…but I pulled together some info a while back, and the idea that he coasted on momentum that was already there in previous stops (including by as an HC) is fairly well supported. That being said, I think it’s very possible that he does well as DC. As has been...

Don't forget how much of the entire commentary from pregame onward will focus on FSU and what they have to do this year. And how everything happened last year. And what their new QB needs to do. And what his history was. And how good their kicker is. And how good their punter is. And... (Oh...

This. With so many things in college football, it's easy to look at it through the retrospective lens we have today, rather than the blurry lens turned towards the future we had at the time. Case in point: Everyone talks about how dominant FSU was last year (and they were). But they also...
