What surprised you most, college edition

“How many P5 offers did that guy have? If the answer is zero, I don’t wanna hear anything about him.”

Virginia played William and Mary two years ago and that did not end well. Too much overall talent!
 
Having to defend why UVA or Tech is better than “non power 5” schools tells you all you need to know about the current state of both programs 😂
Absolutely, no question about that! You should see some of the comments being made on message boards about these two coaches! 🤯🤨😳😱 People are actually doxxing these two men’s address! 😲😱

Wait as in putting their home addresses and personal info on the web? That’s insane!

Yes! The Virginia Tech people have put the athletic directors address on the web. It’s freaking crazy. There is a big difference between being a fan and being psychotic. I love my Hoos,and I’m not happy that they are having to rebuild,but I understand that it takes more than two years and one full recruiting class. The portal is difficult for us because any player requesting a transfer still has to get through the board of advisors, and their transfer academic requirements.

I still don’t understand why UVA is not recruiting Highland Springs any harder when Johnson’s academic requirements. They are on the level with UVA and Virginia Tech.

It’s all about relationships. UVA tends to recruit Varina at a way higher rate than any school in the 804. Blanda Wolfe. Tech recruits Highland Springs the hardest out of any school in the state. Loren Johnson. Hell all of Julius Chambers studs has a Virginia Tech offer. Glenwood Ferebee.

Whit Babcock is a good dude. Chokie fans need to get a grip.
 
@HooSprings is UVA joing the Sun Belt or what's going on??
Are you kidding me?! The SEC has contacted Virginia about joining THAT conference. UVA is pretty damn successful in every sport except for football. They are the only ACC school in the last 70 years to win the national championship in baseball. They’re getting ready to win their fourth national title in a row in women’s swimming. Lacrosse is always dominant. Basketball will start five four-star players this year with four more four stars on the bench. Soccer & Tennis are always there. College sports is more than football.

You're not going to be dominating the SEC in lacrosse.

I know this comment is about the NFL and from several days ago, but how about the Dolphins putting up 70 on Denver?

I know Tua's uncle, Tag. Seems like a very down to earth family. He's got some real burners to work with in Miami between Hill, Archane and Mostert. That's still a lot of points, though, especially for an NFL game!

In case you had any questions about how good the ACC is this year, Louisville tried their best to give State the win last night, but State was determined to not let that happen losing 13 - 10. I went to packpride afterwards and found this gem:

NCStateEngineer

The year is 2022. Brennan Armstrong just finished his final year at UVA. His season's stats: 7TD 12INT

Dave Doeren looks on, wiping days-old Bojangles from his jowls. "Beautiful" he whispers.

State fans are the best 😂

Rohde and Minor were 3 stars out of high school. They will probably start.

I don't know which was worse, punting on 4 & 6 when you could've iced the game, or rushing three at the end. Sam Hartman's seen it all. Duke ought to have known he'd make them pay. Good game though. Didn't expect it to be that close.
 
Alright... I've given the Salem fans enough grief for one day.

I've heard from reliable sources (not really) that VT is back with an impressive 17 point win over Pitt. Covered and then some. Was kinda surprised by that score with the way Tech had been playing.

Real secret is everyone is terrible this year. Down year across the board. First time UGA has even looked like a #1 team should look all year. Michigan will do nothing with McNamara lost, OSU is overrated, Texas finally hit craps in the RRS, ND's been scraping by for a month and it finally caught up to them, USC getting demolished by Zona, Wazzu took an L, Bama is a shade of their former selves, believe me FSU is nothing special, and the list goes on and on and on.

Maybe one of the worst first halves to a season in a long time. Last time everyone looked so comically bad was '07 but there was so much inherent chaos to that season it wound up memorable and fun. This season is just soul-suckingly bad.

It really does seem like that's the case!
 
Wow..I somehow missed that yesterday. That's pretty egregious from a coaching standpoint, but that's Miami. They find a way to lose every year it seems like kids still line up to go to school there.
 
I have a feeling Louisville is going to backdoor their way into the ACC championship game. They're going to get Duke without Riley Leonard, and then somehow avoid FSU, Clemson and UNC. I think their toughest game is Miami.
 
Big congrats to UVA gutting out a tough win over fierce rival William & Mary. Charlottesville & @HooSprings can rest easy. With all their premium P5 talent, and this big win, good times are ahead!
It could be worse! They could’ve lost! I see progress every week. I like the change in the offensive line and it led to a better running game.

Best football in the country is finally being played on the West coast. This Oregon/Washington game is so much fun.
 
Why does Oregon go for it on 4th down at midfield?? They are winning with little more than 2 minutes and Washington has an outstanding qb in Pennix. Logic tells me to punt and force Washington to go the length of the field. Don’t understand.

Got some big games coming up in the ACC. Duke @ FSU. Clemson @ Miami.

Have to give TVD some credit because he took some shots Saturday. A lot of QBs turtle up a bit in those situations. He took some big hits.
 
^Good example of someone playing above their stars..Kaimon Rucker. 6'2" 270ish. Speed off the edge, stays low, incredible bend. Mid-level 3-star.

Who ever had Oregon is sick for the remainder of the season.
