[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I have 3 people in mind: 1. Tommy Bowden 2. Skip Holtz 3. Bud Foster. However, i cant see Foster taking the job. He has strong ties to VT and Beamer, and I expect to see him get a deal similar to the one at florida state with Bowden and Jimbo... as for the Appy St. coach, since he is 68 years old, i cant see him coming to morgantown. Boone, NC is an amazing place and would be a great place to retire and im sure he will do so there... [/ QUOTE ] ESPN mentioned Terry Bowden as a candidate. [/ QUOTE ] Nothing like a morally-upstanding, reputable head coach to head up your program!

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] but in order for them to get homefield advantage...the Cowboys have to lose to either Carolina or Washington and Green Bay has to win out... [/ QUOTE ] Which i do not see Dallas losing again next week they will have something to prove and will be going against a QB they cut in the preseason even tho i liked how he looked and they will know what is on the line for the last game . . . (btw Terry Glen is expected to return and now we will see the full Offense together) but even tho the Cowboys look like the can beat the Pack the Pack was banged up and now Dallas will be with Canty and Guroude going down . . . [/ QUOTE ] Chris Canty...AWW YEAH! In other news, the Cowboys will finish 14-2. I don't see another loss in that team's future. Before the Super Bowl, anyway.

[ QUOTE ] I wouldnt be surprised by Dorsey to Miami [/ QUOTE ] Doubt it. They need too much help on that college-caliber offensive line. Jake Long would be a nice fit, but the Dolphins would need to trade down to get him, probably in the neighborhood of 5th-7th, I believe. I'm sure New England would be willing to deal San Francisco's pick...

[ QUOTE ] this is a quote in the roanoke Times In a recent article published by the Roanoke Times, Virginia Tech defensive coordinator, Bud Foster said he would be interested in a head coaching job with a BCS team. Foster's agent, Bob Lattinville, told the paper, that while Michigan isn't interested, things could "get interesting" if West Virginia head coach Rich Rodriguez left to fill the Wolverines' opening. "West Virginia is a program Bud is very familiar with," Lattinville said. "If Rodriguez left, I think they might be interested in him, and I'm sure Bud would have some interest." I say bring on foster. That would be pretty amazing. I am just saying. [/ QUOTE ] Not only would this be an interesting move for West Virginia, this would also be a fantastic move for the ACC, especially all but one of the Coastal teams, and even more especially big-brother Virginia. Send the old man north! Hell, I'll even help him pack if that's what it takes!

That would be fair enough. Sounds like Big Eleven football now, no matter what.

From what I've heard, here's Pryor's top three, in order: 1. Penn State 2. Ohio State 3. West Virginia

Glad I could!

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I've spent the past few hours playing Super Tecmo Bowl on my old NES. Geeze, I forgot just how much I loved that game as a kid. The amazing thing is that my old NES still works; that type of dependablility sure beats today's consoles. I'm on my third 360 in a year and half... [/ QUOTE ] Great game. I was more fond of the Sega Tecmo Super Bowl, myself. Still, a game that ages greatly with time. [/ QUOTE ] I enjoyed that one myself. I would love to play it again, but I no longer have my Sega... [/ QUOTE ] You must see this, then: http://vimm.net/ Get an emulator, download the game, and enjoy the good times .

[ QUOTE ] lol go to his myspace, http://www.myspace.com/hotelangel and look at the orientation [/ QUOTE ] Look at his orientation, then listen to the song playing on the background of the webpage. The joke writes itself! You have to ignore pathetic ingrates like that, really. I do read the police blotters , but I do it for humor, not to be an ingrate. Apparently, he moved to Greensboro, but retains a strong Appalachian accent, which he apparently isn't much too ashamed of, since the moron attention-craver apparently enjoys listening to himself talk. Likewise, if he wants to talk about flood plains and houses out of deliverance, all he has to do is drive about 5 minutes outside the city of Greensboro. Seriously. There are 5 times worse than what you'll see in Bluefield. As an addendum, the only accident I ever had a part in happened in Greensboro, when a Gremlin rammed into the side of a charter bus I was in at the time. A freaking Gremlin. That, my friends, is a car I thought no longer existed! Here's a few good YouTube clips about Bluefield, to offset this imbecile: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ynOWVgFQhg&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahdK_1Syhg8&feature=related

[ QUOTE ] "I didn't find any trash." [/ QUOTE ] Except the Duke football program! Hey-o! Over/under for the next 5 seasons: 10 wins.

This is a little interesting, I must say. See this article, paragraphs 4-6. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3155414 "Rodriguez, 44, was back in Morgantown on Friday after taking a flight from Ohio, and unwilling to talk about any possible interest in the Michigan job. "Going to practice. I'm going to practice," he told The Associated Press on Friday, getting into his car after a trip to Toledo. Rodriguez again refused to discuss Michigan's vacant coaching job on Saturday." Interesting that he wouldn't just come out and say that the talks fell through, or that he would remain at West Virginia. Interesting how curt he's being with the media. A tell-tale sign that things are going well for Michigan? Hmmm...

[ QUOTE ] The Duke Football job was placed on thier Human resources page for 2 days before hiring the OC at Tennessee. It was kind of odd. You don't see D1 coaching jobs hit the Human resource page too often. [/ QUOTE ] They figured that anybody could do better than Ted Roof. Am I right? The glory that is Duke football!

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] No matter how you slice it up.....with a season of upsets as it was, it was a major choke in hokieville. Both teams had monumental chokes. WVU coked on the eve of a NC berth. Tech choked at home with a good lead with little time to go. I only wished we had that lead against Pitt. Tech would be new orleans bound without Bud Foster getting to conservative. [/ QUOTE ] Even if VT was 12-1, they would have needed Tennessee to beat LSU in the SEC Championship to earn a trip to NOLA... [/ QUOTE ] I think a 12-1 Virginia Tech team would've made it to Nawlins for the national title game. Exhibit A: http://www.colleyrankings.com/scgi-bin/playgod.cgi Remove the result of the Boston College game, add the result of a Tech victory over Boston College, and you get a Virginia Tech team that is far and away #1 in this computer ranking. Other computers would have shown similar effects. Exhibit B: the human polls. If you look at this, you see that Virginia Tech would undoubtedly be over the 2-loss Georgia and Oklahoma teams: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/rankingsindex?seasonYear=2007&weekNumber=15&seasonType=2 Let's be conservative, and say that the voters wouldn't rank Virginia Tech ahead of LSU. Ohio State finished the season on an incredible 1-game winning streak. Same for LSU, as well. Virginia Tech would have finished the season on an 11-game winning streak, and they would have won a conference title, which Ohio State didn't have to do. Ohio State loss was far more untimely, and I believe that Virginia Tech would have jumped at least Ohio State, if not LSU as well. Which would've probably made Virginia Tech-Ohio State, most likely, given LSU's even more untimely Arkansas defeat and 2-losses to LSU's 1. Though LSU would've made it close.

[ QUOTE ] how could you forget a guy with a name like Major Applewhite [/ QUOTE ] Haha. Probably spends his spare time from coaching shoving pins into a voodoo doll of Chris Simms made of pigskins.

It is interesting and juicy. Even moreso that Rodriguez is being eerily hush-hush about his talks; case-and-point: not notifying the West Virginia athletic director. However, it's not official quite yet. Let's hold our horses. Here's the "official, unbiased" story: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3155414

[ QUOTE ] Dook is now denying that they are going to hire Cutcliffe... [/ QUOTE ] Exactly. The pieces never quite added up. He's too qualified for the job, anyway...

A rough 2-0 loss to the Demon Deacons, it appears. The ACC is the deepest conference for soccer east of the Rocky Mountains: great teams all around: Duke, Wake Forest, North Carolina, Clemson, Virginia, and now Virginia Tech. I'm sure I missed a couple of powers. I'm speaking from a little experience, too: Virginia fell in the semifinals of the College Cup last year. No reason for the Hokies to hang their heads, however: it has been a fantastic season for them. Patrick Nyarko was named as a 2007 first-team All-American, which is quite an accomplishment. Making it to the national semifinals is quite an accomplishment in itself. Congratulations to the Hokies on a great season. Hopefully they can parlay this success into maintaining a consistent national-title-contending program.

[ QUOTE ] Also the REAL National Championship... Appy St. beat Michigan, who beat Illinois, who beat Ohio St. Delaware beat Navy, who beat Pitt, who beat WVU, who beat Mississippi St., who beat Kentucky, who beat LSU. [/ QUOTE ] Now that's using the logic West Virginia fans have so enjoyed this year!

ESPN has really went far out of the way to cast quite a bit of doubt and suspicion on the Mitchell Report. In my mind, ESPN has went so far as to give me founded suspicions that they have an alterior motive in reporting. Every single analyst I've heard, from Jayson Stark (who appears to want to tear Mitchell limb from limb with his bare hands) to Roger Cossack, has done this. They ignore common sense. Three things: 1. Mitchell and his crew examined over 111,000 pages of documents leading to this report. That's an almost unfathomable number. This many documents exist pertaining to the use of performance-enhancing drugs. Honestly, do you think that there wouldn't be any facts in those 111,000+ pages? 2. There is cold, hard proof that major leaguers wrote checks, money orders, and even a thank you to Kirk Radomski on behalf of his providing supplements. The amounts on the checks are not small (some as high as $3,500); this would correspond to the cost of the illegal substances. 3. As part of an arbitration hearing with regards to this report, Mitchell has agreed with Bud Selig to pay indemnities if a lawsuit arises from the report. This means, if one player can factually dispute any of the evidence he was false. Mitchell, as the author here, has a high demand to make exactly sure what he's talking about is 100% signed-sealed-delivered correct. His paycheck depends on it. 4. Mitchell has also had a distinguished career, notably his ability to help formulate a cease-fire in the Northern Ireland conflict. Why would he jeopardize his future by putting out false information, or "hearsay"? Doesn't make sense! 5. Kirk Radomski agreed to testify before the Mitchell committee in order to lighten his own federal sentence. If Radomski provided false information, he would be sent down the river on perjury charges. For his own self-interest, he has incentive to tell the truth. This is easily ignored. 6. People make a fuss about the fact that Mitchell has such few names, and how he couldn't talk to many players. Baseball is a fraternity: if someone turned tail, then the whole community would look down on them. That's why just 2 of 80 players cooperated with Mitchell. Simple as that. I give the ESPN analysts a solid F in their "objective" reporting of the Mitchell Report. This, honestly, is some of the worst coverage I have ever seen outside the Bluefield Daily Telegraph.

You haven't been seeing and reading much, then. Hearsay is about as far from the truth as there is in this document. Look at the players listed in the pages 150-300 range. There are checks, money orders, and even a "thank you" note from Paul Lo Duca to serve as evidence. It's much more than hearsay. Read it, and you'll see. In addition, Mitchell took 20 months in organizing his facts, and I honestly believe that he went to painstaking measures in order to insure the accuracy of his report. If he errs even on one part, he has agreed with Bud Selig to pay indeminities to the players so "slandered", if the player can definitively prove that he did not take performance-enhancing drugs. For his sake, he HAS to get it right.

[ QUOTE ] Let's compare chokes... BC...ranked #2 at the time they beat VT Pitt...4-7 going into the game vs. WVU VT...ranked #8 at the time they lost to BC WVU...ranked #2 when they lost to Pitt VT was a 3 point underdog vs. BC WVU was a 28 point favorite vs. Pitt VT would have remained tied with UVA in their Division in the ACC if they had won. WVU would have been playing in the National Championship game if they won. FACTS don't lie...2007 Choke Artist of the Year award goes to... WVU [/ QUOTE ] That's pretty much it. Though the argument could be made in hindsight that the first Boston College-Virginia Tech game was for the national title berth, you could defend by saying that the direct outcome of a national title appearance wasn't in the balance.

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Here's a simple solution to Pat McAfee's problem. Quit the football team if it's too tough for you to take the criticism of missing field goals and losing football games. No one is forcing you to play college football. Please stop crying. Thank you. Sandman [/ QUOTE ] this is not about being tough or taking criticism. it's about the idiots at WVU who threatened his life and vandalized his home and car. He is under police protection 24/7 now and last I checked wasnt allowed home. So listen here homeboy, dont threaten a man's toughness because he wants to do the right thing in leaving a hostile envirtonment that has idiot people threatening his life. you need to grow up, realize the full situation, and think a little bit before you write another ridiculous statement on here again. [/ QUOTE ] Ladies and gentlemen, we have a WINNER! Nice post.

[ QUOTE ] Where is McGwire and Sosa??? [/ QUOTE ] I went to http://www.espn.com and downloaded the document from the site. McGwire's name comes up plentifully. Sosa's name comes up just once, likely due to limited, if any, contacts with Kirk Radomski. Also, ESPN has just put out an updated list, of specifically where you can find the extensive list of names in the document: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3153646

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] How much you want to bet on this? [/ QUOTE ] If it happens, will you believe me if I tell you that some games in the NFL are fixed??? [/ QUOTE ] Haha, deal. I would give you all the credit for that.
