Hmm... I haven't seen much of VT this year, but it makes me feel a hell of a lot better if yalls O-line is buns. How has Worlids looked this year, I guess not as good as expected?Originally Posted by Juicy J 32

Naw, I hope UM is stayin low key for at least a couple more games, we ain't done nothin yet.
Go to hell. I won't be at the game though; I'm in Switzerland this semester. Nowhere to run really.
I'm sure. Because if we actually show up and play VT doesn't even have a chance.
We beat you last year with nix and marve.....don't get your hopes up.
I know, that's why I said what I said
Dude, we couldn't even get any sacks against MARSHALL's line; what do you think's gonna happen when we play Miami? Jacory's gonna have time to take a few sips from his pimp cup while he's back there.
As far as our O-line goes, all you gotta do is run a twist or stunt and we might as well have five little girls out there pass blocking. There was a play on saturday where we double teamed Nebraska's DE and let Suh come in untouched.
One thing that will at least give us more of a chance is if Virgil can come back healthy this week. He is not only our most important corner position, he's huge in run support. He had like 3 TFL against Alabama. We missed him sorely against Nebraska; lots of Helu's long runs were when CB's took poor angles or had poor technique trying to tackle Helu. If Virgil is there he definitely makes most of those tackles.

It seems Lane Kiffin just can't help but give his opinion.
The University of Tennessee football coach was back in the news today, sparring again with Florida nemesis Urban Meyer and also weighing in to give Washington Coach Steve Sarkisian, a former co-worker, some friendly advice after the Huskies' upset over USC.
Responding to earlier comments by Meyer that Tennessee didn't appear to be playing to win Saturday and that his own team was battling the flu, Kiffin at first said he would not respond. But then, after he was asked whether he was worried about the Volunteers being struck by the flu, he said, "I don't know. I guess we'll wait, and after we're not excited about a performance, we'll tell you everybody was sick."
Kiffin also said, "This off-season [Southeastern Conference Commissioner Mike Slive] made a big deal of renewing vows in terms of what we say about other teams, other coaches and other players. Obviously, Urban feels he doesn't need to follow that. We won't say anything else."

Lane Kiffin is 1-2 as a coach in college and was bad in Oakland. He's calling out a coach with 2 MNCs and 3 BCS wins. And Urban was right to call out Lane . Down 10 with 3 minutes left and Tennessee is huddling up and snapping the ball with under 10 left on the play clock. Winning isn't everything it's the only thing. UF is 3-0 and still #1 in the polls, no serious injuries, last weekend went fine for me. Eventually losing a close game isn't going to be enough and there are no such thing as "moral victories". It reminds me of when Charlie got his extension for almost beating USC and look at how that went. Lane hasn't earned the right to run his mouth. Win something and then you can talk.

Ducks fan sent him this:
I was so angry with the game (even before the post-game melee) I am sending you an invoice for my trip to Boise. The product on the field Thursday night is not something I was at all proud of, and I feel as though I'm entitled to my money back for the trip. Please see my invoice attached in this email. I will happily send along receipts if need be.
He asked Chip Kelly to repay him $439. Chip responded and asked for his address. Dude got:

Pretty cool gesture. Charlie Weis should do the same for all ND fans.

Tell Gregg your opinion!
[font=Arial, Helvetica] [/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica] [/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica]This story is going to do things you didn't think possible. It will compliment Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel in a way that insults the OSU football program. It will compliment Southern California in a way that insults USC coach Pete Carroll.[/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica]How is that possible? It just is. Trust me. I know how this story ends.[/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica]And I know how it begins, too.[/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica]It begins with a football game on Sept. 28, 2003. It begins on that day with this score: California 34, USC 31.
Jim Tressel's teams have routinely beaten the teams they should beat. (Getty Images)
[/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica]Cal was unranked. The Trojans were No. 3. That was the first of six losses to unranked Pac-10 teams the Trojans have suffered under Carroll, a trend that continued Saturday when No. 3 USC lost to Washington. Given how good USC has been under Carroll, that's a staggering number of losses to unranked teams.[/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica]Still, Carroll usually gets a pass from critics. He's a great coach. Almost everyone says so.[/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica]Meanwhile, at Ohio State, Tressel gets no such free pass. His teams mangle the teams they're supposed to mangle, but the Buckeyes have lost six consecutive games to opponents ranked in the top five, and the country laughs while the locals cry. Just last week, after Tressel's Buckeyes lost to Carroll's top five Trojans, OSU fans dumped their misery into Tressel's e-mail account, causing Tressel to mock them as being "already miserable ... there's no way they're happy."[/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica]Tressel is mostly ripped while Carroll is mostly left alone, which means something has been lost along the way: Common sense. Perspective. An understanding of what those two programs are, and just as important, where they are. Use some common sense on the matter, have some perspective, and you'll see the obvious:[/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica]Jim Tressel is a better coach than Pete Carroll.[/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica]I know what the numbers say. Carroll has won 84.9 percent of his games compared to 81 percent for Tressel. Carroll has won two national titles to one for Tressel. And just nine days ago, Carroll beat Tressel head-to-head. In Columbus, no less.[/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica]The numbers say Carroll is better than Tressel, but numbers lie. Numbers say Tim Tebow is the best college quarterback of all time, and that's a lie of Nixonian or Clintonian proportions.[/font]

SB Nation
[font=Arial, Helvetica]When it comes to Tressel and Carroll, this is the absolute truth:[/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica]At a football goldmine like USC, Carroll is supposed to win 84.9 percent of his games. He's supposed to win two national titles in eight or nine years. And he's supposed to beat Tressel head-to-head. Why? Three reasons: Location, location, location.[/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica]Look at the consistently dominant programs -- the national champions, the near-champions -- in today's college football: Florida. Southern Cal. Texas. Oklahoma. LSU.[/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica]And Ohio State.[/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica]What school doesn't belong in that group, from a geography standpoint?[/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica]Ohio State.[/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica]The Buckeyes have no business beating USC or LSU or Florida, and so bless their heart, they don't. They get smoked when they play a top five team, one usually from the Deep South or from Southern California, because they aren't just playing against USC or LSU or Florida.[/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica]They're playing against a stacked deck.[/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica]Kids don't want to play for Ohio State because kids don't want to freeze their %%% off. You'll find exceptions to that statement, obviously, but save it. Don't give me a recruiting list that shows how a handful of top recruits every year pick Penn State or Notre Dame or, yes, Ohio State. Don't bother. Those are the exceptions, not the rule. Most great players pick a college where it's warm, in part because they live where it's warm. The best players come from Florida, California and Texas. And where are the best college programs located? Florida, California and Texas (and Oklahoma). What a coincidence.[/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica]That stuff is obvious, but don't tell me it's obvious. Tell yourself. You're the one who insists Pete Carroll is a better coach than Jim Tressel because he wins more than Jim Tressel -- even as you conveniently forget that Carroll should win more than Tressel.[/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica]Yet Carroll doesn't win the games he should. Not every time. About once a year his team loses a game it has no business losing. Carroll got thechokeshock out of the way early this season against Washington, but I'm disagreeing with Dennis Dodd on one thing: He suggests Carroll's dynasty is teetering. Not me. As long as he's there, Carroll will win 84.9 percent of his games and the occasional national title. He's the perfect fit for USC because he knows how to attract future NFL talent. Does he know how to coach it, how to maximize it? No. He does not.[/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica]Tressel coaches. Tressel maximizes. His teams don't choke or get shocked. Do they lose to the best opponents on the biggest stages? Yeah. They do. All things being equal, the more talented team wins, and Ohio State hasn't been more talented than LSU or Florida or USC or Texas. And Ohio State should never be more talented than LSU or Florida or USC or Texas.[/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica]But Tressel does get the most out of his teams. I'm sure of that. Carroll? I'm not so sure about him. The only thing I'm sure of, when it comes to Carroll, is this: He signs guys like Leinart and Bush and White and Sanchez and stud after stud after stud, but it's wrong to say Carroll signs great talent and then just rolls the ball onto the field and lets them play.[/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica]Because if he just rolled the ball onto the field and let them play, the Trojans would have beaten Washington.[/font]

Read what I'm saying. UT didn't even go hurry up at the 3 minute mark down 10. I never said you had to throw the ball 30 times a game, but you gotta pick up the pace, you can't waste 20-25 seconds calling your play and getting into your formation when you're down 2 scores with 3 to play, especially if you aren't throwing the ball. The Tennessee offense had no sense of urgency late in the game. That's what I'm saying. I don't have a problem with what they did all game until they got to that 3 minute mark.
and on the potential game winning drive, Crompton threw an INT (called back by offsides), threw a pass into the sideline that was nearly picked off, took a sack and tried to shovel it forward damn near fumbling and then on 4th down he rifled a pass into the ground 5 yards short of the first down.
do u not remember with like 3 minutes left, Crompton gets hurried,spins out, stands there for a couple seconds, turns toward UF bench, and rifles one 40 yards outta bounds, with NO pressure.
and this is the guy u want� leading� ur team and calling plays� in a No huddle
supposedly stephens is got some reps with the 1st unit.both dudes suckbut at least Stephens throws his INTs like 40 yards down the field cus all he tries to do is go deep
Very sad news.Originally Posted by 5am6oody72
Virgil's supposed to be back this week, but he's playing field corner instead of his normal bounday corner spot (boundary corner plays short side of the field and is responsible for more man to man and run support). This does not bode well. Carmichael played the last two weeks at boundary and got absolutely abused in the run game; most of Helu's long runs last week were when they ran to the short side of the field and our boundary corner just flat out missed a tackle. I'm sure Whipple is smart enough to take advantage of something like this, so look for Cooper and James to have a ton of yards to the short side of the field.
Also apparently Worilds had some back spasm problems today (not supposed to be serious, but I don't want him to get nicked up) and our DT might be out for the Miami game. Our already terrible pass rush might get even worse.

It'll be a good game no matter what. The other Hokies will step in and play outta their minds cuz of the rivalry, it'll be close down to the end. Lookin forward to it.
