Kritik und Lob » hat Im never caught

BLACKSBURG, Va. -- Virginia Tech coach Justin Fuente downplayed any personal satisfaction derived from his teams season-opening performance, but needless to say, he enjoyed most of what he witnessed in his debut as the Hokies head coach.Virginia Tech quarterback Jerod Evans threw for 221 yards and four touchdowns to lead the Hokies to a 36-13 season-opening victory over Liberty on Saturday, handing Fuente his first victory.Fuente, who spent the previous four seasons at Memphis, took over in January for Frank Beamer, who retired after 29 years as Virginia Techs head coach.The atmosphere here is fantastic, Fuente said. Its what college football is all about. People at Virginia Tech take a lot of pride in the game-day atmosphere, and they should. It was incredibleMy thought process coming into the game was how would our kids handle this? How do they respond when things dont go well. There were some times when things were kind of ugly looking, but I liked the way our kids dug in there and plowed away. The atmosphere was fantastic and Im pleased with the way the kids responded to adversity.Fuentes decision last week to name Evans the starting quarterback certainly looked like a good move after Evans completed 20 of 32 passes. He threw touchdown passes on the Hokies last two possessions of the first half to help Virginia Tech rally from a 13-10 deficit.It was a great feeling, Evans said. Its been nine months of hard work. We finally got to showcase what weve been working on for nine long months. We had some mistakes, for sure. I know on my part I had a lot of mistakes that I am going to clean up, but it was exciting.Evans, who won a three-man battle for the job, played less than three quarters. Fuente pulled him after he fumbled on an option pitch -- his second fumble of the game.Some good and some bad would be my first impression, Fuente said of his quarterback. We need to take care of the football. He made some good plays in the passing game. My gut reaction is some good and some bad.Liberty amassed just 160 yards of offense, scoring all of its points off of Virginia Tech turnovers. The Hokies lost four fumbles.They made more plays than we did, but well bounce back, Liberty coach Turner Gill said. We will be a better football team from this ball game.THE TAKEAWAYLIBERTY: Liberty quarterback Stephon Masha got off to a rough start in his attempt to replace Josh Woodrum, a four-year starter. Masha completed 9 of 25 for 70 yards and two interceptions. It was a sloppy debut overall for Liberty, which committed 13 penalties, including eight false-start penalties.VIRGINIA TECH: The Hokies defense struggled with consistency a year ago, but looked good Saturday. Virginia Tech, which intercepted just 10 passes last season, had three, marking the 41st time under defensive coordinator Bud Foster that the Hokies have intercepted at least three passes in a game. Theyre 38-3 in those games.It was a good starting point for us today, Foster said. I was pleased with how we played. We didnt give up any explosive plays. All in all, I thought we did a nice job in some sudden-change situations and on third down. I think they had 11 turnovers last year, so that (forcing the turnovers) was big.UP NEXTLIBERTY: The Flames will serve as hosts to Jacksonville next Saturday in Libertys home opener. The game will be Libertys first against an opponent from the Pioneer Football League.VIRGINIA TECH: The Hokies now get ready to take on Tennessee at Bristol Motor Speedway next Saturday night in a game that could set college footballs single-game attendance mark.

Maurice Cheeks Jersey . -- PGA TOUR Canada member Steve Saunders took a three-stroke lead Saturday in the Web. ESPN the Magazines Nov. 28 Tall Ball issue, which focuses on the varied aspects of height and sport, prompted us to ask around about #tallgirlproblems. Not to stereotype, but tall women often have some specific challenges that they deal with. But even the most annoying stuff wouldnt make any of the women we spoke with want to give up even an inch of their height.Its just sometimes ... hey, the next time you see a tall woman, please try to refrain from asking horrible corny stuff like Hows the weather up there? All tall women thank you in advance.Brianna Turner, 6-foot-3, Notre Dame forwardIts mostly things like sleeves not being long enough. Or knee-high boots that are not knee-high at all on me. And I always say when we do push-ups its harder if you are tall and have longer arms. Or doing pull-ups.Alaina Coates, 6-4, South Carolina centerMy top pet peeve is finding jeans long enough. Ill just have to roll them up and make them look like theyre supposed to be that way. So when its really cold, my ankles will be freezing.You can shop online, but if they dont fit right, you have to send them back. And most of the time, Im just like, Forget it. Lisa Leslie, 6-5, former Los Angeles Sparks star and Naismith Hall of FamerI would say my No. 1 tall girl problem is that people have to ask me every day, Do you play basketball? Ive had people make comments about my height every day of my life. That can get annoying. Im thankful for it; I used it. You dont go around commenting on someones weight or size, so its just really annoying. Its the kind of thing that people should just say to themselves: Wow, shes really tall. But I dont need to be informed that Im tall. I get it.Tina Thompson, 6-2, WNBAs all-time scoring leaderIve been blessed to be able to find clothes and shoes; for me that hasnt been that difficult. Probably the most annoying are the awkward, lame conversations and the cliché one-liners. Like, Is the view better up there? What do you say to stuff like that?Just say hello, introduce yourself and lets move on to politics, sports, whatever you want to talk about. The lead-in with the tall-girl joke was very unnecessary.Sylvia Fowles, 6-6, Minnesota Lynx, 2016 WNBA defensive player of the yearA lot of jeans that come in longer lengths have flared legs. I hate flares. I hate wide legs. I feel like all tall-girl jeans should be skinny. So when I do find a pair I like that fits, I buy them in every color.If someone asks me the basketball question, I change it up. I say, Oh, actually I play water polo. And nobody really wants to talk to me much about that.Swin Cash, 6-2, just retired from New York LibertyAirplanes would be first. My jeans would be another. I get mad all the time, because jeans just arent cut properly.Then theres the Tall guys like short girls, and vice versa ... that can be a tall girl problem.With the standard hotel-room shower, and youre trying to wash your hair, you have to maneuver around.You are always going to get asked if you play volleyball or basketball. And if you were to say that you didnt play sports, people look at you with a kind of disdain, like, You wasted your height! Yourr height just makes them think you automatically have to be an athlete.dddddddddddd.Nneka Ogwumike, 6-2, Los Angeles Sparks, 2016 WNBA MVPOne of the shortcomings of being tall -- ha ha -- is that you can never swing your feet when youre sitting on a stool.And you always have to be at the back of a photo. I like being in the front. Thats why a lot of times in photos, you see me lying down in front. I want to be seen, you know?Pants arent so bad, because nowadays there are a lot of different outlets to buy from. I do almost all of my shopping online, and the clothes are super trendy, which is awesome. I love it.Another huge issue is sitting on airplanes. Actually, though, Im not sure thats just a tall girl problem. Thats like a human-rights issue. (Laughs)I also feel like climbing stairs is a little more difficult for us, because of the leverage. And I feel more tired after stairs, and thats confusing to me because Im athletic.People always assume Im a basketball or volleyball player. One guy, though, came up and asked me if I was a ballerina. I said, Are you being serious? and he seemed like he was.The short guys are always like, I love me a tall girl. And its like, Seriously?I love shoes, and people will say, Why are you wearing heels? Youre tall already. And I said, That has nothing to do with me wearing heels. So thats pretty annoying.On peoples reactions to seeing her with sister Chiney Ogwumike, who is 6-3: Its always like, Where are you guys from? and Im like, Is that question just because were tall?But overall, I have no issues with it. Its a beautiful thing.Jantel Lavender, 6-4, Los Angeles Sparks, 2016 WNBA Sixth Woman of the YearThe biggest one is clothes, although its gotten better over the years. But you cant just go into a store -- if something comes up -- and find pants that fit. Or getting a dress thats long enough for your arms. Or shoes -- you cant just go get a nice pair of heels to wear to an event.I shop at ASOS.com -- they have a tall section that is amazing. I have so many clothes now that Im never caught off guard.I would say toilets are pretty low. Its just so far down, and then the stall doors arent that high all the time, so your heads sticking up. But I think it becomes second-nature for us to adjust.Candace Parker, 6-4, Los Angeles Sparks, 2016 WNBA Finals MVPIm against stereotypes, so I hate fitting the stereotype. People are like, Oh, you must play basketball. And Im like [lowers voice and sounds a bit disgusted], Yes.Has girls embarrassment over being tall changed? I hope it has. My daughter is around so many tall women, I dont think it registers to her that shes dwarfing her classmates. Shes tall; she holds her shoulders back with pride. We tease her about her big feet, and she loves them and her long legs.I think its generational. I wasnt always the happiest being as tall as I was, but I learned to accept it and then love it.Aja Wilson, 6-5, South Carolina forwardOther than clothes sometimes, I dont really see any problems with being tall.
