This Old Terrordome: An Infographic

I started this project over the winter after reading an article ranking the best recruiting classes of the past 30 seasons. While it was an interesting read, I kept wondering why there wasn't any real data on any of this?

I enlisted the help of my wife in discovering how Microsoft Excel worked again (I maintain a stranglehold on the workings of MS Paint in the house.) I started copying and pasting and crunching the data from the past 30 years of Hokie football. My first draft went back to 2003, where the birth of the 247 composite scores began.

But rather than produce an indictment of recruiting scores, I decided to complete a project integrating the input, output and results of the past 30 years of Hokie Football.

I may have caught the same bug as pi this offseason, who has been stacking up the coaching abilities of the ACC coaching staffs. I was pretty ecstatic to see a fellow fan crunching away at the same area of data I was. I wonder if Hokie Fireman has anything to say about all of this?

I'd like to think I'm done with this project, but if you have any comments, question or suggestions, I'd be happy to hear it.

I told him I’d crawl on my hands and knees to be the DL coach at Virginia Tech. Now, all of a sudden, I’m sitting in this chair and I told him I’d still crawl on my hands and knees to work here. I just want to be here.
