MORE FORDS!
We should have offered Gerald Ford a scholarship back in the day
No kidding - had he gone to VT and majored in Engineering, the entire Ford lineup would be flying right now...
"Invent the Future"
And, Loeffler, You get a Ford, and Moorehead, you get a Ford, and Bud, you get a big Model Year 2015 Ford!

I don't think TKP can afford many more puns. Most of us come here to escape that sort of thing.
It has already begun...
I was going to throw a fiesta until I saw that the puns had returned.
I should have come here earlier to post. It looks like vtfly got the edge on all of us this time.
I agree, I blame my lack of focus on not posting sooner.
We should all aspire to do better.
Your puns offend the Big Ranger in the Sky.
Edge? I was just stating my opinion about the Ford puns. I consider myself an explorer and usually go on an excursion to TKP to get away from bad puns.
When I saw it, I knew this would happen and almost couldn't get it up fast enough.
That's what.
She said.
Great teamwork on this one!
Only took 9 months and 1 week.
At least they got there in the end.
(...waits for it...)
...phrasing?
just wait for us to recruit some Fords for basketball....it'll be CONSTANT
We already did!
We'll be..
I agree...we will be the tits. That's what you were trying to say, right?
Pretty much
We definitely will be bringing the D
I... Think I'll go home see what the wife's doin
Nice "It's a Wonderful Life" reference.
Was afraid that reference would be wasted on the wrong people...
But we have a Beamer.
it seems like we are in pursuit of a lot of DE's....
probably trying to add some depth at tackle. heyyyooooooo
Does this mean we're not getting these big time Virginia D-line recruits??...

I think the staff is doing it just to be safe but from what I've seen we are in great shape with Ferrell and Sweat and are being considered heavily by Fullwood (from Maryland), Hill, Taylor, Lewis (who will likely be a DT at Tech) and some others. Sweat is looking to enroll early, so a he should decide by the fall at the latest. Not sure when Ferrell and others are supposed to decide though.
Best. Mayor. Ever. +1
I love the guy in the suit running in like he's injured or something.
That's just a delayed blitz.
BLACKHAWK DOWN!!
crackhawk down?
It would be a lovely gift to Bud and Charley to have a brand new 2015 Ford.
When do we start recruiting Mercurys and Lincolns?
But they aren't Ford tough.
those types go to whova and wvu
bump since he just decommitted from Tennessee!
The entire staff needs to go visit this kid. He came to a camp in June so he has to have at least a little interest in us. This is the kind of last minute pickup we need.
paging petebuddywilson...paging petebuddywilson...we need a bagman on aisle 5
Pete, take this with you
Just replace the dollar bills with Hardee's coupons.
Better yet, coupons for a free oil change.
I don't think he was really on our radar earlier, - or maybe we weren't really on his radar? Either way now that UT snatched Taylor away, and pulled the rug out from under Ford, I think both parties have a bit of vengance to seek in Bristol...
Is this the dude that Decommitted from UT?
Yes
Hard to be committed if you don't have a scholarship offer unless you are H Gaines. *ducks*
More like cut loose by Tennessee because their class was over booked.
So maybe we should think of nicknaming the new practice facility "The Garage"......we can put our three Fords and Beamer in it.
Two Beamers...
Indeed!
Open For Business
Special on Fords!!
Can someone please let Marques Ford know that VT will be playing Tennessee at Bristol in 2016. Would be a great opportunity for Marques to let Butch Jones know how much he appreciates the old switch-a-roo...

That's a bad selling point IMO. If his desire is revenge, the smart play for him would be to commit to another SEC East school so he could have a shot at Tennessee each season.
I think a better pitch to him would be, "Our coaches aren't douches who exploit you."
No one said both pitches can't be pitched to the young man.
Looks like he's headed to Rutgers...
Uh, what? Seems like an odd choice
Moved very quickly and becomes easily the highest rated player in their class Seems like he committed to the first coach to talk to him face-to-face and not lie.
What I was told was that Ford had almost committed to Rutgers when he picked Tennessee. Apparently, his coach has some ties to Rutgers and they have stayed in his ear throughout the cycle.
Okay, thanks for the info guys. I didn't really follow his recruitment so I didn't know.
"what the fuck?" was the first thing that popped into my head.
Not terribly surprising, considering that's where everyone thought he was headed before he committed to Tennessee. According to 247, he had "zero interest" in VT, for whatever reason. Oh well.
Didn't want to play third Ford.
