Legitimately exclaimed "Fuck. Yes." as I read this

This is correct.

Congrats, Sam. Well earned after four years of leading this team by example, on and off the field.

Am I remembering correctly that Sams older brother went to UVA? Or am I confusing him with Danny Coale?

Yeah, that sounds like the name of someone that plays at UVA. /s

This was not a catch. /s

Sam Rogers, hokiesports.com - "Brother, Ben, was an All-American center for Hampden-Sydney."

Danny Coale, Wikipedia.org - "He is one of three boys, with two brothers, Kevin, a former University of Virginia lacrosse player, and Ryan, a baseball player."

Side note, Kevin wanted to play football, but UVA didn't offer that as a sport.

This is true. UVA only offers football as an activity.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

His big brother Ben is exactly as bad ass as you would expect from Sam's big brother. Even if you leave out the fire he is no doubt one of the most respected and hardest working people I've ever met. The same attitude and work ethic that earned him so many honors in college helped him launch a successful business right out of college. There is not doubt in my mind that Sam will be successful in whatever he chooses to after he graduates.

Sam is going to decleat about half a dozen Hoos tomorrow.

Edit: And then he'll decleat a dozen more on Saturday.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

Tomorrow's decleating will be a psychological one! Six Hoos will be too scared to lace up against Sam Rogers and turn in their cleats!

Now, LET'S GO out there this Saturday and you show those cheese eatin', excuse makin', Zima drinking, pansy ass sons of bitchin' Hoos just what being a HOKIE really means!!! From now on, anytime someone asks me, "What's a HOKIE?", I will tell them, "I am!.. and Sam Motherfuckin' Rogers!!!"

This is everything.

I remember his freshman year when we'd joke on here about Sam Rogers, Destroyer of Worlds. Now the only world left this regular season is the smoldering remnant of LOLUVA, one final time. We're gonna see some 25 magic this Saturday, you mark my words.

21st century QBs Undefeated vs UVA:
MV7, MV5, LT3, Grant Wells, Braxton Burmeister, Ryan Willis, Josh Jackson, Jerod Evans, Michael Brewer, Tyrod Taylor, Sean Glennon, and Grant Noel. That's right, UVA. You couldn't beat Grant Noel.

Well deserved Sam. I think there may have been a mutiny from the fans if this wasn't the choice this week.

I told him I’d crawl on my hands and knees to be the DL coach at Virginia Tech. Now, all of a sudden, I’m sitting in this chair and I told him I’d still crawl on my hands and knees to work here. I just want to be here.

Cuz he's gonna score at least one....

I say we take bets on what Sam is going to do this game... I'm calling for the triple play! 1 TD Catch, 1 TD run, 1 TD Pass, and on special teams... a massive block for a kick return! But seriously, him receiving this makes everything right in Hokie world!

I woke up this morning thinking to myself that Sam Rogers will be the 25 this week. I would have taken bets on it because it makes such perfect sense. Had to open up TKP and was so pleased to see that it had come true.

I have much to be thankful for today. I am especially grateful for young people in this world like Sam. He gives me hope! I can't wait to see what the future holds for him. I hope he gets his chance in the NFL, and that some day he will be a head coach.

Wait...didn't he miss the last quarter of the Military Bowl? Can we apply for a medical redshirt?

I'm about 4 "Lil sumpin" ales in, after two double bloody Mary's, and I literally just scared the shit out of my family who was cooking in the kitchen with a full strength scream as if we just scored a touchdown. This is amazing news.

In other news, these two turkeys in the smoker under my deck smell amazing.

Happy Thanksgiving Hokie Nation!!

Go Hokies! Beat UVA!!!

Thank you! I pride myself in not just grabbing the same ole piss water every time. I'm not above a 30 rack of camo can Busch Lite, but given the choice I prefer heavier, tastier cold refreshing adult beverages.

If anyone has beer recommendations, I'm all ears. Perhaps that deserves a new thread? Perhaps said thread already exists? I don't know...

Go Hokies!!!

So... What's the odds that this was Bud-Fu's end game, when deciding to award #25 to a special teams player at the beginning of the season? How could it be anyone but Sam. If this was Cody Grimm's senior season, it would be Cody wearing #25. While D and special teams scores gets all of the cred, Hokies know that it doesn't get more "Beamerball"-esque than a walk on, run through a wall, "I'll do what ever you want coach" kind of player being honored.

Edit: we need a "leg-all" option. I literally went down the list of comments and up voted every one of them.

30 years after starting grad school at Virginia Tech, I finally defended my dissertation and earned my PhD.

I think all this glorification of Sam has gotten out of hand. I got a high five from him after the ND game and it only shattered three of my fingers.

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

dragone's picture dragone | 9 years 7 months # ^

Just three? I'd imagine it couldv've been more digits had he gone full Sam Rogers on that high-five! Luckily, he probably knew it be best to leave you with two so you could continue to chuck the dueces.

I hope this lights up the seniors ass and they come out fired up Saturday. Sam might kill someone. I want a 30+ point win.
