a wristwatch ?

Post by RiverguyVT »

JC, wearing a HUGE watch in the game?

The watch didn't help him hang on to the ball, did it?
I see that watch as symptomatic of something terribly wrong w/ the program.

A wristwatch.

a pretty tacky one at that.

VT has not struck me as a disciplined program for quite some time.

I didn't understand that. I thought it was a joke. Did he wear that on the field? That seems dangerous. Someone could get scraped by that.

If he wore that on the field....i'm confused.

If he didn't wear it on the field, but wore it over his gloves off the field, .... i'm still confused.

Yeah, he wore it on the field.
ESPN crew zoomed in and focused on it after his game-changing-momentum-killing fumble.

My understanding is it is a symbol. "my time" or some such rot.
He's an idiot.

My time? Really?

Maybe if he had The Big Hand on the ball, he wouldn't have fumbled.

What if it had been ripped off during the game. Everybody stop and crawl around and find his watch? And if another player loses a necklace or an ear ring...?

I'm surprised the refs would allow that.

Agreed. Its obvious there are some really deep and underlying structural issues with the program right now (discipline, character, recruiting, stubbornness, ect.) I think the next coach that comes in is going to be shocked by the lack of discipline and focus that has been instilled in the program over the last 5-10 years.

What character issues? We're MILES from the Marcus Vick days. These are good kids. Discipline on the field, in regards to play, is one thing but by and large I'm much happier with these teams as far as them being representatives of the school.

Well, we've had several get arrested for off the field problems (Reavis, Shai, etc) , and didnt a bunch of them act out at a take back the night event a year or so ago?

The minstrual said these are good kids.

Game over.

He knows them. He knows their minds and their hearts. Probably better than they know themselves.

They are probably letting love guide them.

My prediction......Right now I unfortunately think we are a mediocre team this year, just based on not seeing anyone else play qb who is decent. If Brewer played this year, I bet we could have ended up first or second in the weak Coastal, which would have bought CFB another year. Now, without a QB we suck and go 8-5. Then Whit cleans house next year. He hires a high profile coach, and Bud gets to stay on as DC, but not HC job. He gets pissed about not getting offered the HC job and takes an SEC DC job for $2MM. Shane rides off into the sunset, taking an HC job at someplace like JMU. Stiney ends up at Blacksburg High teaching typing and coaching, CFB retires, and Loeffler continues his journeyman path at another stop along the way.

I take all of this back if someone other than Motley plays qb and does great.

Stiney teaching typing at bhs. lol. He could probably teach recruiting or sales, or whatever.

I kind of agree with you. If motley is our qb, we will barely be a .500 team. If we have a real qb on the bench, play him, leave motley as the wild turkey, or whatever, and let the new guy develop against the weakest part of the schedule.

IMO, keeping motley in as starter and bringing along another one gradually is um, stupid.

Or maybe i'm the stupid one, as the minstrual has just decreed.

Even in HS gym class, you're not allowed to wear watches or jewelry. I don't understand wearing a watch playing college football for the life of me.

I would think it would be against the rules. The bezel could cut someone....aside from just being a really bad idea.
