It may be hard to believe, but spring football is nearly upon us, and Justin Fuente is taking questions from us media types once more, starting tomorrow.
I have a few things I'd like to ask the head Hokie, but if you all have anything you've spent the offseason wondering (non-QB depth chart related, because somehow I doubt he's anxious to address that) and want me to ask, I'm all ears.

Would he be open to the spring game being televised in the future?
Will a practices be open for fans and media to view?
I suspect that once the ACC Network is running, he won't have the option of the Spring Game being televised. Content will be needed.
Indeed. It's not an advantage if all ACC teams' Spring games are televised, much like the SEC network does currently.
I think it is for Tech. Gives Tech the ability to showcase how our fans turnout in comparison to places like UNC and UVA.
Indeed, always good to show the best fanbase in the US every free chance they get. However, I was speaking strictly about game planning, not 'crootin.
That's not how we do things on here
Don't forget your ABC's

Where is Caleb Farley gonna play?
Blah blah blah he's capable of both blah blah blah we'll wait and see
Sorry, but it's hard to read your avatar saying "blah blah blah" instead of "yada yada yada"
Where does he think Drew Harris will end up in the depth chart once he enrolls??
(Insert Lawson transfer joke here)

Who is gonna win between John cena and the undertaker at wrestlemania
Would he rather fight one horse sized duck, or 100 duck sized horses?
Yes, this one. I know we won't get any substantive answers to real football questions other than Coach Speak, so why not ask important things like this?
Ask him about injuries. I hear he loves that.
What's his go to beer?
Good one. Would live to hear the answer to that.
Also go to whiskey and/or bourbon?
Does he prefer a Red Bull rail or the original?
Wait. What the hell is a Red Bull rail?
I need to know now
rail with red bull instead of grenadine.
Ask if Lawson is expected to push JJ for playing time.
If we land Devyn Ford can we stop rotating backs so frequently?
How far does he have Buzz going in his bracket?
this is a legit question! our coaches should be very supportive of each others success.
Why the hell do you like DMB!?
THIS^^^is VERY important.
You have to remember when CJF was in college and what was popular at the time. Plus, with kids, if your favorite music is family friendly, you get to listen to it more.
Family friendly? Thinly veiled sexual references might not be what Jenny wants the girls listening to:
Obviously. So you don't play that song in the car with the girls. Big deal. The rest of it is just jam band wanking for 20 minutes at a time, on the live albums anyway.
Chipotle or Moes?
Qdoba
BOO-URNS!
Would you consider bringing Rich Rodriguez onto your staff at some point?
*Delayed by being rear ended in the drive through and waiting for Highway Patrol. Who still isn't here.
Excellent. Thank you for showing up.
I believe that having the Hokie Fireman respond to my post proves that it was a burning question, right?
Fuckin' guy is posting from the scene of an accident in which he was the (hopefully not literally) the injured party.
Question we DO NOT need answered:
Question on everyone's mind, HF:
Did the fire department respond?
Parking lot of a McDonald's some old bitty from up North bumped my hitch platform. She then called 911 because i cussed and took a picture of her license plate. Local county cops showed up, they don't take accident reports but offered to exchange insurance information she refused. An hour and a half later a pissed off trooper showed up for this BS minor accident and she was all "I will exchange information but he yelled" I waited for an hour and a half with ice cream in the car for my kids and this bitty was the complete cause of it!
Claim the ice cream as damaged due to the accident. I'm not kidding. As an adjuster, I've paid for worse.
I did not know Chipotle has a drive-thru.
Literally, I guess they do.
If anyone ever sees my van in a Chipcraple drive through call the police it's been stolen or I'm dead in the trunk.
or wifey is preggers again and craving good burritos
Like I said dead or it's stolen. There are NO other options.
so, you're saying if she is preggers and craves chipotle and you decide that's the moment to have a chipotle vs. moe's debate, you're gonna die? Got it.
I think what he's saying is he'll either go to Moe's or Qdoba's, get the burrito's, then pay someone to walk into a Shitpotle's to get one of the bags, in which to put the Moe's or Qdoba's. Yeah.
Who do you think would win in a fight between a grilled cheese sandwich and a taco?
Well, I think the grilled cheese sandwich - in a fair fight. But if it was prison rules, I'd put my money on the taco.
thats pretty racist, but correct
Is it a hard or soft taco? Details matter...
I feel we launched the two at each other, I think the sand which would hold up better. Point: Grilled Cheese
Token legit questions:
1. Any thoughts on replacing Joey Slye? (Clearly JF is not going to say anything about the competition until spring is over)
2. Thoughts on the proposed redshirt rule change?
3. Thoughts on the kickoff touchback rule change?
I think they should just eliminate the kickoff entirely, if they are going to institute the latest idea for kickoffs. The players will still be told to run down the field JUST IN CASE the receiving team fumbles or decides to still run out the kick. It will only cause confusion and settle nothing.
My dad's question: What are you most optimistic about for the 2018 season?
Is there more to the play book? Also, why didn't he try another deep one such as the pass that didn't connect between Jackson and Murphy in the bowl game?
Is the Hokie pokie really what it's all about? /s
Techmobowl, what's it going to take? Because punching Chinballs in the face is wreaking havoc on my television budget.
Why isn't the Georgia Tech / Virginia Tech football game played for a Golden Sliderule Trophy? Can you make that happen?
A golden Techmo Bowl cartridge would be better
I will make this happen sooner or later
You mean like a golden ink cartridge? In that case, why not just make it a golden hard drive or something?
Pretty sure he means one of these, but gold
Correct
Anyone still have an old Zelda cartridge?
Thanks. Also, we should make it gold AND Maroon.
glad to see we took this serious.
will the QB competition be an open competition like it has since he got here or is it JJs job to lose? whats more important developing a guy that is clearly more talented and getting him playing experience even though it may cost you some games in the present but set you up better for the future or winning games now with a guy that you trust to execute even though he may not have all the physical tools you want in your QB?
Makes fun of joke answers... and then asks about QB depth chart, lol.
Just kidding, but in all seriousness this would get you the most "coach speak" laden answer imaginable.
lol I know. I hoped to see some good questions though when I opened it up.
and I understand that im going to get some coach talk that's why I kinda tried to stay away from using names of players and have more general questions just in terms of his strategy on how he views the QB position in terms of long term/ short term, risk/reward and his overall thoughts on that kinda stuff.
"We will play the players that we think give us the best opportunity to win, next question"
Thoughts on the new Southgate diverging diamond interchange.
Can we please open up spring practice just a little bit?
How tall was Bucky Hodges, really? /s
Any thoughts on the new uniforms?
Exactly 2" shorter than Bucky Rogers
What's your dream job?
What's your favorite part of the recruiting process?
Is Blacksburg actually a tough sell in the recruiting process? Or is it something fans are overly paranoid about and/or other schools attempt to use against us.
Love to know the answer to this question, but no way CFJ answers honestly.
Why did you drop the s from the end of your last name?
Quite literally: /s.
In the era of social media, there seems to be a conflict. Coaches want to keep everything they can out of the press, from injuries to practices to scrimmages in order to maintain as much secrecy as possible. Fans, on the other hand, are more invested than ever and have more insight into everything else in their life, they want more info. Have you and Whit discussed methods where you can continue to maintain your necessary protections for the competitiveness for the program while providing more content to satiate your fan and donor base?
Cake or pie?

Yes
Ah a fellow primus fan
...No
You said they suck tho
Whenever the camera shows him during games 90% of the time he has that blank stoic stare and is chewing what appears to be bubble gum.
So my question is: what kind of gum are your chewing?
