I almost pitied anyone standing in their way this season.

This article makes it seem like Luther is probably going to be leaving early for the draft

Both he and Jarrett have asked the NFL for the paperwork they can submit to see where they might be drafted. It's a useful exercise for underclassmen, and it's a practice Foster encourages.

Yea I know, but if he gets told the he'd go in the first round and that he's the top nose tackle in college football (might be an error) then I'd say he's leaving early

Saw this tweet from Skip Hopkins on twitter today and it made me laugh. #MANBEARPIG #FATGUYTOUCHDOWNS

I'm not built for this military stuff. I can't fit into any of the stuff. #Tanks #helicopters can't fit. Haha— Derrick Hopkins (@hokies98) December 28, 2013

Fortunately, he was basically a tank on the gridiron

There's a tank in that helicopter.

Day late but it don't matter. Me in a fighter helicopter. It was a fight trying to get into the thing, http://t.co/Nf2fUxTAIl— Derrick Hopkins (@hokies98) December 28, 2013

I don't see Skip as a 7th round prospect and I don't see Maddy as a 1st. Yet that is. Typical bleacher report.

At least they're showing us love

They made an error on Maddys projection, it is verbatim the same as Louis Nix 3 one ranking above him. So they likely don't think he's the best nose tackle prospect in college nor a first round puck, both of those describe Nix.

And it's Bleacher Report anyway.

That EST 2000 is actually a pretty good simulation of firing live small arms.

I get the historical Bleacher Report hate. But FYI this was done by Michael Felder, one of the best CFB bloggers in the game right now. He's a former college defensive back and I trust his opinion over the ESPN guys most of the time.

Yea I don't get the BR hate all that much either. They put 2 of our DT's in the top 10 of college football, and they also put Kyle Fuller as the #2 CB. Sure, they may provide pretty shallow coverage, but they also cover EVERY team. If you ask me, they're pretty generous to the Hokies in at least 80% of their articles

BR also is pretty good about getting breaking news out quickly. Usually before ESPN.
