I have a question about your UVA-VMI post. You described the first 22.5 minutes as being marred by "stupid plays, bad penalties and coaching mistakes." I'm wondering what a "coaching mistake" is, and how it is distinguished from player error (or whatever else) by those in the stands.
Penalty against VMI while they were deep in their own zone--if we had declined it, they would have been third and 4 or 5. but we took the penalty, moved them back (but gave them more downs) and they got the first. Should have declined it.
Didn't see this game PK but coaches mistakes can be anything to calling the wrong plays to not getting the plays in quick enough to poor clock management, calling timeouts at the wrong time.
The Blog: A compendium of thoughts on politics, world affairs, economics, pop culture and social issues, from the center right perspective of me--Bryan McGrath--a University of Virginia graduate who spent a career in the world's greatest Navy keeping my mouth shut about politics and social issues (ok, publicly keeping it shut). Those days are over! Pull up a chair and chime in where you will. Keep it clean, civil, concise and relevant.
The Fish: The fish is a "coat of arms" for the blog, symbolizing three formative influences in the life of the blog founder. The first is his experience at the University of Virginia--symbolized most importantly by the fish itself, or a caricature of a "Wahoo", the fish we have acquired as an informal nickname. Additionally there is the sword, the sword of a Cavalier. It is not wielded in a threatening manner, as this is a civil blog. But it is there, should it be needed. Thirdly, there is the influence of 21 years in the Navy--symbolized by the anchor on the Wahoo's fin (and again, the sword) . Finally, there is the bowler, tuxedo, and monocle, symbols of a refined, intellectual conservatism, or what I seek to encourage here.
The Policy: I take FULL responsibility for what I write. I will not be held responsible for the content of my comments section--as long as it is civil and passes my own inscrutable sniff tests, it will appear. If the comment offends you, that is on you.

I am not happy with the proliferation of lengthy dreds spilling out of helmets.

Serious question. I'm trying to learn.
Go 'Hoos.
