Well, to clarify even more, Chaney was only their one year, and it was Peterman's first year. Peterman's had a better senior year with Matt Canada, but Peterman looked much better his junior year under Chaney than he ever did at UT.

You don't say?
 
He was for a year, but not the year Peterman blew up. That was under Canada. Peterman was very mediocre the 1 year under Chaney. Not to say he may not have had some hand in how well he did his Senior year, but that would be hard to quantify.

He had a better senior year, but he had 20 TD's, 8 INT's, and a slightly better completion % under Chaney. The only real difference was 8 more TD's. Not sure I would call it mediocre.
 
Disney food sucks unless you're there for the Food and Wine festival at Epcot. They absolutely nailed the price and portion sizes for that.

And the Avatar: Flight of Passage ride at Animal Kingdom is absolutely unbelievable.
The thing I was attending for work had an after hours event at Animal Kingdom, and from 10:30-Midnight we could do Avatar Flight of Passage. It was definitely a good ride. Because it was after hours and there were no crowds, we rode it a few times. What was interesting is that the experience was different each time. Not completely different, but slightly different. For instance, the ride would blow mist on us the first and third time, and no mist the second time. Also, we were given the illusion that we had done a spin (gone completely upside down) on one of the time, but not the other two.

I'm glad we did that one, and glad we didn't have to wait 2-3 hours to do it!
 
Did you and your family plan well in advance the days that you would be at Disney? What were the names of the places that you ate at? I have eaten at numerous places at different parks, and have had some very good food. However, those places are ones that you have to have reservations for. If you did not plan well in advance, then that is probably why you didn’t have an enjoyable experience. Most people I talk to that do not have a good time are those who think they can go and do everything on a whim.
We planned as far in advance as possible. I found out I was going in early April. So, most of the places you need reservations for were already booked up (you can book reservations up to 180 days in advance for restaurants). Also, the fast passes for the most desired rides were already taken. So, again, we planned as best as we could.

We went to Crystal Palace for the Winnie the Pooh character dining. It was a buffet and was horrible. We couldn't get a reservation anywhere good in Animal Kingdom so we went to Rainforest Cafe. We've been to a few of those so we knew what to expect...way over-priced for below average food. The rest of our meals were at the resort (room service, which was awful every time), Hurricane Hannah's out by the pool, Ale & Compass, and Beaches and Cream (the burger there was OK).

I could jog out, take a snap, fall down and cry, and still be better than Peterman at UT. He played well at Pitt, but his time here was absolutely brutal.

He went from a 138 QBR to 163. From 7.3 YPA to 9.3. Massive improvements.

From 58th in YPA and 44th in QBR nationally (thus, "mediocre" or just slightly above average) to 8th and 6th nationally.

Didn't mean mediocre in a derogatory sense, just that he was fairly average under Chaney, then elite under Canada. And considering he only passed ~23 times a game (not that much), 7 more TDs in a season is significant.

Wow, you got in at beaches and cream? That is usually a tough place to get in. Please tell me you tried the gigantic ice cream sundae?! We finally got a reservation for that place last summer when we went for my daughter‘s eighth birthday. We went a little bit after lunchtime and had not eaten, so that we could basically have that for lunch… LOL! It was fantastic, and the three of us could still not eat all of it.

You definitely did not have enough time to plan accordingly. You should give it one more chance and make your plans at least six months in advance, so that you can book your reservations for the restaurants six months out, and also get your fast passes 60 days before you are set to arrive. If you plan accordingly, the experience is awesome every time. My family and I have gone five or six times now in the last 4+ years, and we have a blast every time we go.

I will comment as to why your experience on flight of passage seemed different almost every time that you rode it. There are I think four different levels of people on the same ride. If you notice any point that you felt like you were looking up all the time, you were on the very bottom row. If you are on the very top row, then you probably had a feeling you were looking down all The time. On the top row, you probably did not get misted with the water. The first two or three times that I rode it, I felt like I always had a different viewpoint. Then we were on the very bottom row one time and I noticed that my neck seem to be hurting from looking up so much. The next time we rode it after that, I looked around both up and down and realized how many different levels of people there were on the same ride and the difference that it made based on which row you were on, as well as where are you were positioned in the row.

Cant tell if serious...
Right. A very large portion of the country already smokes. Usage doesn't really go up where it's legalized. It's just legal. In fact teenage usage actually has gone down in those states I believe. So those numbers probably won't change much at all.
 
Holy ****.
This is why I don't like answering questions without my wife around.
I'm going to the Medical University of South Carolina. ...I was close...

Located in CHARLESTON, South Carolina. ...only off by half the freaking state.... And a longer trip than I was planning for. ☹
Great town. You wanna buy me a beer or 10 give me a holla

And now you don't even have to smoke, edibles are all the rage.
 
FWIW my son went to dabo’s Football camp this last weekend. He spent a ton of time around the kids. Was as genuine and magnetic a person I have seen from afar in some time

I don’t see Clemson going anywhere while he’s there.

I had always thought his was an act and that he wasn’t smart enough to run either side of the ball and be an elite coach. My opinion of him did a complete 180. He has the “it” factor to the Max.
