It seems they play better when they know that they are the starters for the game and what their role is rather than coming in for someone injured or shuffling around to fill holes. Lets hope facyson and bonner learn from their mistakes last week and shut out the twerps!

I like that Coach Shane Beamer had some nice things to say about Weaver. Weaver is a good guy, running an athletic department full of good people. It's a nice thing to think about.

Shoulder surgery to repair damage done while playing for VT.
This is how a certain class of fans treat our student athletes.
Unadulterated uneducated stupidity.
We'll undoubtedly see more stupid stuff.
"His 100% was unacceptable" - our team was far better off with him playing not blocking than not playing not blocking
"when he was in he didn't even try to block" - shoulder injuries can be very painful.... anyone with dislocations, separations, and/or rotator cuff problems can attest to this ... range of motion can be very difficult... I think MD had two separations while here if memory serves.... at least one... for some people surgery solves the problems and for some it does not... seems like his surgery was not successful
Wish the kid well. Hope his surgery goes well. Hope if it doesn't he rehabs it like crazy. Took me two years while working etc to do dips, military press after a shoulder separation. You can come back from it. Coming back doesn't happen at all (pain, limited strength, limited range of motion) and then one day you're stronger than you ever were.
Then to make fun because he didn't make a team. What a loser.

It wasn't just the (lack of) blocking, it was the lazy route running, not laying out to make catches, publicly complaining about the team's leadership, etc. These things don't really fit in a program with a blue collar attitude, that prides itself on hardnose football and likes to win games by out hustling opponents.
I don't think anyone wishes ill of him or is making fun of him, posters are simply acknowledging that a little more effort may have resulted in a better season and better start to his professional career.
Logan has had plenty of on-field issues this year, but no one has ever questioned his effort.

Wasn't really cheering on any injuries or hoping for bad things to happen to him. Anyone who straps on a chinstrap for VT has put in the work to get there, and if football is the profession he seeks, then good luck and best wishes. In an offense predicated on short dink-and-dunk screens and crossing routes (the Steiney special), you need to have WR out there engaging DB's to free up those plays for positive yards. The FSU game tape speaks for itself in terms of ability to perform those actions when the ball is not in his hands, but if he was playing hurt and couldn't physically perform those actions, then the coaches failed to put him in a position to be successful, so the blame is with them. If he couldn't do it, they should have played someone who could have, even if it meant not having his pass catching in the game.

On the uniform front, I dont know if this means anything or not, but several players wore the Hokie Stone helmets during practice Tuesday. Many players like to wear the gameweek helmet during practice to get used to how it will feel.

Did anyone see the chrome camouflage helmet on MV7's twitter last week? I thought we might be breaking that out in honor of Vet's day at Miami, but it didn't happen. Perhaps this weekend, with the hokiestone brainbuckets for LOLUVA?

"I was a fan of Maryland, kind of, he said of the recruiting process. But they said I was too small to play at Maryland. We'll see how small I play on Saturday." - James Gayle

Aw shit. Bane is going to tear UMD's third string quarterback apart. I think that's who's starting right? Seems like they've always lost two QBs by this point of the season. They might be down to their fifth stringer if Gayle hits the first two as much as I think he will.

Damn! Dammit!
Hopefully our dynamic freshman duo will be much more prepared and ready to roll.

Andrew Miller wins the interview segment
A downvote?
I upvoted AND I've got sisters.(?!)
That is fantastic! First good laugh of the day. Thank you Mr. Miller
You know it's true because he has the mustache to back it up

D.J. Coles... He'll get after you.
Ask the DB from Miami who got that pancake block on the WR screen.
Somewhere Marcus Davis is shaking his head in shame.... And that somewhere is not in the NFL.
You do know he is still officially on the NY Jets roster as an IR, right
