Bruce Smith, Michael Vick, Tyrod Taylor, Eddie Royal. This is due to me only knowing about Virginia Tech football from 1995 - present. If there could be a fifth it would be Danny Coale.

I all fairness there have been only 44 presidents, but ten times as many fan favorite hokies. If this is a Hokie Mt. Rushmore we might as well go big; seemed to work for the practice facility.
Andy: Keep up the good work, this is helping me through the dry season.

I am open to subbing out Tyrod since he is the only one without a major award. He would be the best choice if you skew towards the more recent players. Otherwise, you'd go with someone with a retired jersey like Loria.

Errr, I personally was around at the time, and can absolutely attest that Frank Beamer was, in fact, a football player at Va Tech. But I do get the idea of the article.

I completely agree, if we are talking productivity alone he could at least be in the overall Mount Rushmore Discussion.
Cody for sure makes the "Walk-On Mount Rushmore." If we are talking just productivity, you'd be hard pressed to find three players more productive than Engelberger, Grimm, and Tyler.

These four individuals didn't just change the outcome games, they changed the direction of the program.
If Beamer isn't allowed... the other three are givens, and far beyond anyone else IMO. The fourth spot would have to go to a player who routinely changed the outcome of a game. I'd consider Cornell Brown, Tyrod, Kyle Fuller, Ryan Williams, maybe Dadi by the end of his career? I never saw Torrien play, but if he was half the player that he is a coach, then he deserves a spot.

Corey Moore was a true fan favorite and the most dominant player in college football maybe his last two seasons. Brought home all the personal hardware and was a leader on a national runner up team.
Brown was the first dominant defender of the Beamer era and was national player of the year for a defender, correct? Big East titles and Sugar Bowl win should solidify his spot.
Alternates-Suggs because of his insane TD numbers, Tyrod because of ACC titles and POY honors as well as team records. Im sure there are more but not many that had the impact and were on winning teams like these.

As per holiday tradition you shall say "Hi Bruce" to everyone you meet today and should you meet someone actually named Bruce you shall say loudly "BRUUUCE!".
Go out and have a Bruce of a day everyone.

I would have to go with Vick, Smith, Taylor, and Moore. The reason why I picked Taylor is because he was largely responsible for the success of the Hokies during his tenure as a starter. He helped perpetuate the success of the Hokies in their early years in the ACC.

I think you misspelled "Marcus Vick."
/ducks
Above all else: Frank Beamer head looking down at the Hokie Mt. Rushmore (sans 'who farted' face' of course)
Below that spot: Bruce, Vick, Kevin Jones, a Fuller Family portrait?
Are we limited to 4 spots?
Honorable Mention: Tyrod, Andre Davis, D. Wilson, an Adibi family portrait
"Are we limited to four spots?"
You ever seen Mount Rushmore?
(I kid.)

Smith, Vick, Loria, and a hydra of the Fullers
Even as a Hokie, Hydra-Fuller is terrifying to think about.
Bruce - Sackman
Loria - History
Moore - A giant set of those eyes.... damn
Vick - so close
honorable mention - Kyle Fuller, but only if includes giant robotic arm with ball swatting motion
Edit: fixed as per help below
It was Moore with the crazy eyes, not Brown.
Brandon Flowers x 4
He could have a different look on his face for each one.
I concur, with one small exception...
Three Brandon Flowers, and Mrs. Fuller.
This is almost a generational/fan dating test. How old you are and when you became a fan of VT will larger answer this question.
Frank Beamer, Bruce Smith, Michael Vick, and MAMA Fuller
D@mn you jhnbrynt!
Beamer, Smith, Vick, Tyrod, Mama Fuller.
On a related note, nicely done, jhnbrynt
I feel like your counting and reading comprehension levels are at the level of... well a horse.
Close.
Beamer, Smith, Loria, Tyrod, Suggs
Bruce, Vick, Moore, Kevin Jones
Alternate: Corey, Vinny, Kyle, Kendall
Bruce, Vick, Moore, and Tyrod.
I am open to subbing out Tyrod since he is the only one without a major award. He would be the best choice if you skew towards the more recent players. Otherwise, you'd go with someone with a retired jersey like Loria.
Frank Loria, Bruce Smith, Brandon Flowers and Corey Moore
No Corey Moore. His stare would frighten small children who come to visit.
Mt. Rushmore? Sounds too political so please. I'd carve out Charlottesville.
I laughed.
Crazy Horse...on a treadmill
Winner
Errr, I personally was around at the time, and can absolutely attest that Frank Beamer was, in fact, a football player at Va Tech. But I do get the idea of the article.
Of course, but his accomplishments on the field themselves would not put him on anyone's Rushmore.
Dude he had that one pick 6.
Fun fact about Crazy Horse, ..it'll be completed long after we're all dead at the rate that they're working on it.
Vick, Corey Moore, Bruce, Beamer... If Beamer isn't allowed, then Tyrod
An oversized Vick. Also Smith, Moore and Brown. It's hard to pick just 4 but I think it would be them.
If there was a motion to put this guy up there, I wouldn't object.
Seriously, Sam Rogers is gonna kill all ya'll.
After we finish this exercise, how about an all walk-on Mount Rushmore?
I like it. John Engelberger, Jarrett Ferguson, Will Montgomery and Sam Rogers are my picks.
Cody Grimm?
John Engelberger, Cody Grimm, Sam Rogers, Willie Byrn/Jack Tyler???
No, I am not.
Yeah, Grimm instead of Rogers as of today. Rogers very well may earn it, but he hasn't yet.
Cody Grimm could be in consideration for the overall mount rushmore as far as I'm concerned. He's not on mine, but still, the dude was a damn animal
I completely agree, if we are talking productivity alone he could at least be in the overall Mount Rushmore Discussion.
Cody for sure makes the "Walk-On Mount Rushmore." If we are talking just productivity, you'd be hard pressed to find three players more productive than Engelberger, Grimm, and Tyler.
I am the only one giving Will love here. The guy is a long-time NFL player. Not bad for a walk-on.
Vick-Duh
Bruce-Duh
Hunter Carpenter-Old School
Carroll Dale-Ditto
Vick
Bruce
Moore
Beamer
These four individuals didn't just change the outcome games, they changed the direction of the program.

Surprised no one has mentioned DeAngelo Hall.
He is in the poll under Bitter's column.
Suggs, Jones, Williams, Wilson.
What i thought it was a RUSH more?
Mike Vick, Tyrod, Bruce Smith, & can't decide between D-Hall/Flowers/K Fuller...
Bruce Smith, Mike Vick, Tyrod Taylor, and Dell Curry.
Who says basketball can't have a spot?
This one all day
Vick, B. Smith, C. Moore, C. Brown
Vick and Smith, #1 NFL picks solidify their spot.
Corey Moore was a true fan favorite and the most dominant player in college football maybe his last two seasons. Brought home all the personal hardware and was a leader on a national runner up team.
Brown was the first dominant defender of the Beamer era and was national player of the year for a defender, correct? Big East titles and Sugar Bowl win should solidify his spot.
Alternates-Suggs because of his insane TD numbers, Tyrod because of ACC titles and POY honors as well as team records. Im sure there are more but not many that had the impact and were on winning teams like these.
No mention of Mark Leal? Blasphemy!
(Seriously, it's Corey Moore and then either Tyrod or Cornell Brown. Can't go wrong with either.)
I'm going with the top 4 (first)names of Hokie players here.
1. Vegas (Robinson)
2. Macho (Harris)
3. Xavier (Adibi)
4. Kam (Chancellor)
If we are going solely by greatest names, then #1 is and will always be George George.
Got to go with Bruce, Vick, Loria and C. Moore.
On a semi-related note, Happy Bruce Day to everyone at TKP!
As per holiday tradition you shall say "Hi Bruce" to everyone you meet today and should you meet someone actually named Bruce you shall say loudly "BRUUUCE!".
Go out and have a Bruce of a day everyone.
So his birthday is 6/18, is that where he got the #78?
I would have to go with Vick, Smith, Taylor, and Moore. The reason why I picked Taylor is because he was largely responsible for the success of the Hokies during his tenure as a starter. He helped perpetuate the success of the Hokies in their early years in the ACC.
