I think Petit is the best linemen in the class. Very good news.

Five star get after it 100 percent Juice Key-Playing. MAN

According to some sources a new OL coach has been hired and an announcement should come tomorrow. I'm assuming that Pettit tweeted this knowing who is next OL coach is going to be.

In Sam Rogers we trust.

Yep. Dude knows his stuff.

That is something the department is determined to get done since Sharron doesn't want to deal with the football schedule and is still dealing with health issues of her own, so they want to get someone in place.

I don't know if I believe Petit knows this yet. I was thinking the same thing, but if a coach tells a high school player before the University makes a formal announcement, there is the risk of said info "leaking". I just think he bought into the school, coach Beams, and is excited to see all the love from Hokie Nation. I will say this; I have a source close to the situation that expressed similar confidence. I think we received a verbal late last week. I'm sure our new coach has exit interviews, decisions etc on his end that have to be addressed before anything is announced publicly.

If it ain't orange, it better be maroon...and if it ain't maroon, it better be soon!

If you look on his page above the tweet that is being mentioned, you'll find this:

“These people are losing their minds. This is beautiful.”

Maybe just all of the love from hokienation was what he meant by - yeah it's good now...but it kind of made me think that he'd been contacted by someone. Possibly a new OL Coach, of course that's very speculative, but I thought worth mentioning.

“These people are losing their minds. This is beautiful.”

This is good to see as well:

So it's true that Scot Loeffler does smile then.

Apparently he does when he's in the home of an 18 year old kid that's bigger then he is, and wants to play football at VT.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

Rookie mistake. That's not Loeffler, that's his personal robot that they send recruiting. Loeffler's currently in an old bomb shelter studying tactics on the inverted veer.

Yep, that's Bot Loeffler.

Not seen: Behind the cameraman, Tyrell's mother is plating a freshly baked pie.

ryane26vt's picture ryane26vt | 12 years 5 months # ^

Interesting that she would choose to make pie instead of cake...

Oh boy another Pie discussion...

Except that cake is better.

Except for when it's a lie there's pie

Regarding Pie vs Cake I take the words of Homer Simpson to heart, "Kids, as far as Daddy's concerned, you're both potential murderers."

A decade on TKP and it's been time well spent.

I don't expect to get as much fanfare....but after several Budweiser Black Crowns, I remain committed to the VT Nation and I will be at the spring game for the 1st time in 4yrs (work commitments have kept me away). I anticipate an Andy Bitter interview request.

rhinocerosv3's picture rhinocerosv3 | 12 years 5 months # ^

seriously... there should be a TKP-sanctioned tailgate -I'll retain my verbal based on knowledge/confidence that this is going to happen...

...and cake and pie will be there for a Battle Royal.

I like how the title of this thread says "firm."

I'm trying to figure out how you got -1 for saying something mostly ambiguous, and I got +2 for blatantly pointing out the innuendo.

That'd be like explaining the internet to someone.

Or how UVa manages to have 3.5 fans at their spring game.

actually that's really easy to explain. Their "culture" doesn't really include football because they're fair weather fans. Even a wahoo can only handle a certain amount of suck.

Edit: Oh, and midgets (I originally overlooked the half in 3.5...ironically)

Here's hoping the rest of them stay firm...

I'm all for a TKP tailgate.

I"ll provide a smoker and multiple pounds of pork butt for bbq.

Seriously though... we should get one together.

macraw83's picture macraw83 | 12 years 5 months # ^

There was one for Maryland. It was pretty awesome.

I'm pretty sure Joe already said he's going to try to put one together with a bit more publicity next year.

hokieViRUS's picture hokieViRUS | 12 years 5 months # ^

I'm down as well. I'm gonna definitely be at the UVA win, and probably Miami.

Not that my schedule means a whole lot.

Thank God for this at least. With all the uncertainty of some of our top level recruits, plus some that have flipped or didn't qualify, we need some good offensive lineman bottom line! Thank you Colt and look forward to your dominance.
