But you also have extremely-relaxed rules for passing and catching and, like you said, those pesky knees of $100 million QBs. Plus, NFL OL personnel don't want to chop and flop the whole game. There's a prima donna aspect to this that shouldn't be ignored either and that goes double for NFL...

no one's running the TO in the NFL. From fears of high-paid QBs getting injured to faster Defense shutting off the corners to the study that shows that the new NFL No-Cut-Block-Rule likely does result in fewer knee injuries to defenders...owners across the NFL won't let their OCs run any more...

Except he didn't quite get entirely 'starved of recruiting resources'. For starters, it's now becoming clear that, from the words of numerous HS coaches in the metro area, we had almost no local HS presence during most of PJ's tenure. There's absolutely no excuse for that, since you don't need...

Not really their fault for building up that worldview - the previous regime used it constantly. Prior to 2008, you never really heard that sort of excuse making even though everyone knows we're tougher academically than almost every other football school.

The Packers gave up the 3rd most sacks in the NFL last year and have gotten A-Rod killed the past few years. I don't miss that offense though it'd be nice to be able to throw it like the Pack does.

It's already good to not hear that garbage anymore.

1. The attendance was embarrassing. The game, primarily won by ST, was extremely exciting and frankly, (we didn't know it at the time), a good last-home-game for PJ, as all 3 phases chipped in for the W. I should've clarified, apologies. While Spring-Game-Attendance isn't a barometer of a...

No, as is clear from the record attendance in the spring game and the declining attendance the past few years, he had absolutely "lost the fanbase" - at least a decent % of it. I was at the embarrassing UVA game last fall that was barely half-attended - were you? And again, how much money did...

I personally want these things and believe that we can - and should - be more competitive with Clemson than we've been for most of the last decade. A natty would be nice too. Do I think it's possible? Yes - Clemson and the mutts will not be the juggernauts they've been every single year and...

it'll be **crickets chirping**, as usual.

This is my prediction too.

Bizarre. Thanks for the explanation!

How does NCSt lose badly to FSU and still fall backwards into the semis? And what happens to FSU? Sorry, late to the party and am looking at the brackets trying to figure things out.

I think we will have at least a 50-50 chance of beating all of those teams except Clemson. The others are as "meh" as we are right now. A couple are hot garbage that have either new coaches, lost key players, or were dogcrap last year.

Yeah but VPI and Miami have been mostly weak sisters, in comparison to the top members of other divisions. I don't think the Coastal is the worst division but let's not pretend we're near the top either.

disregard my earlier post. I agree with you. :beercheers:

VPI and Miami should be good teams. I agree re: Big 12 North

Pac 12 South has sucked pretty hard. Big 10 West is similar to the Coastal.

name a P5 division that's been worse. edit: Pac 12 South is a candidate.

probably in response to someone bringing up PJ's gameday coaching rep in a thread about the current staff.
