From where?

I hate rude behavior in a man. Won't tolerate it.

one click shows Wagoneer's been around TKP for 7 years. Sheesh. Everyone take a nap, have a snickers or something.

This probably confirms that Trautwein is going to be the OL coach next year?

What? Trautwein is the Penn State OL coach. If former PSU OL commits are flipping to VT, that seems to indicate that Moore (VT's current OL coach) is out and Trautwein is in.

EDIT: rescinded

Is he going to bring some in the portal, too.

Doesn't matter if it's cake or pie as long as it's chocolate.

Maybe. OL's don't transfer much, but they do sometimes follow their coaches. There's a number of VA natives on PSU's line (R-So Alex Birchmeier, R-So Anthony Donkoh). I would wager at least one guy from PSUs OL room follows. But Moore's guys may leave (True Fr Gavin Crawford, R-Fr Lucas Austin, R-Fr Kyle Altuner).

No, just reading tea leaves.

Ok, I think I understand what you're saying. You think it could be an indication not that Trautwein is coming to Blacksburg, but just that he won't return to PSU? So his commits are bailing because he won't be there.

I forget the name of the recruit, but one yesterday had his twitter tagged with Franklin, Mahon, and Moore.

He said give to me Roscoe

Excellent, OL needs an overhaul.

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

It makes sense. The weather in Blacksburg is fairly similar to the weather across the Midwest.

Just saying, ACC defenses aren't prepared for that kind of ground and pound game.

Is this image hosted on imgur? All I see is a broken link but clearly some people can see it.

I ask because I just attempted to dive down the imgur rabbit hole and failed miserably. Is this what no longer being with "it" feels like?

Imgur Uploader app is pretty simple. Once downloaded and signed in, you click the upload image box in top left. After it uploads, click the Copy URL button under the photo.

Once back on TheKeyPlay click the Insert Image button above comment box and paste the URL.
