Xavier Adibi is, and will always be, one of my favorite Hokies. Love to see my guy Macho get in as well, and I love to see Jamon Gordon getting some deserved recognition as well.

Queen and Kristi have to be first ballot HOF right? Is there a waiting period like other HOF?

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.

From HokieSports:

Under Tech Hall of Fame guidelines, persons are not eligible for induction until they have been out of school for a period of 10 years.

Both Queen and Kristi have "Years at VT" listed as 2006-2010. So it looks like both were first ballot Hall of Famers!

I loved Adibi. He looked and played the part. But, isn't the universal opinion that Hall was the better college linebacker of the tandem?

They played different positions, which is why I don't compare them often, but they are both arguably the VT goats of their respective positions. I personally liked Adibi more, but I also just liked the Backer position more in general.

Hall wouldn't have been as good without Adibi, and Adibi wouldn't have succeeded as well without Hall. They needed each other for great numbers.

I'm surprised that it this long for Tyrone Drakeford to make it in. OG DBU. One of the first to have success in the pros.
