What? What happened here?

VT 2016
Go Hokies

"Violation of team policies". Nothing else is known at the moment.

Beamer gives guys 2nd chances, but after Strike 3?4?5? and you're out.

Wiley, Brown, Russell, Drakeford, Gray, Banks, Prioleau, Charleton, Midget, Bird, McCadam, Pile, Hall, Green, Fuller, Williams, Hamilton, Rouse, Flowers, Harris, Chancellor, Carmichael, Hosley, Fuller, Exum, Jarrett

Wow, Beamer kicked off the kicker.

well SL better make sure we get in the end zone more often than not...we won't be able to settle for field goals anymore. If we see 4th and less than 7 inside the opposing 40 we're going for it.

Onward and upward

Just get Hughes to do the PK duties. I have no doubt in my mind he could pick that up pretty quick and start drilling them from 40+

Hughes can also be a sure-tackler!

I seriously hope this guy gets his life figured out. He has a strong leg and has proven he can be a good kicker but his head just isn't in the right place.

I still say we should've gotten rid of him earlier this year, but that's not my call. Whatever happened, glad to see that Frank is taking the high road.

But guys....this is bad news for our kicking game. Can AJ kick field goals?

Being that I have inside knowledge due to my profession, I knew this was coming and actually thought it would have been done a few weeks ago when he was suspended the first time.

He was given plenty of chances, but never got his off-the-field issues straight.

I don't know if this is true or not, but if it is.......

Thanks to HokieESQ for retweeting so I saw it.

I mean that...I can't even be mad at that, way to go man.

Trying to get a leg up on AJ?

-What we do is, if we need that extra push, you know what we do? -Put it up to fully dipped? -Fully dipped. Exactly. It's dork magic.

The only reason he came in after curfew was because he spent so long looking for one that hadn't already been with A.J.

I feel like this belongs here too....

WHY did I just sit here and watch that?

masochism

Onward and upward

Tech stays at Hotel Roanoke... I didn't think opponents do as well. Can anyone confirm?

I don't have much nice to say here.

I hope he squares himself away, but I can't say I have any confidence he will.

Just sad to see people with so much potential unable to get out of their own way.

I can't belie.... Well, unfortunately, I CAN believe this happened... Time and time again, this kid messed up off (and on) the field. At the end of the day, life is more important than football. With that being said, I hope this kid gets his life together, things get much tougher out in the real world.

And you know this is how Frank ended their conversation:

VT 12'... Exit light, Enter night.

Rip his freaking head off!

Ok I've heard multiple rumors about the reasons of his suspensions and now ultimately his dismissal... Does anyone have any inside knowledge on the exactly what he's involved in?

Yes. CFB.

DFWTF...DON'T FUCK WITH THE FULLERS

hahaha good one. But technically he isnt involved in that anymore either.

Who's the next man up? Keyserling? Branthover? Aren't both punters?

That's what I've heard too, I just didn't know if anyone was for sure or not. It's alright though, this football team is better without all that. Even if that means throwing a punter in their to kick. Our program needs to stay free of that garbage.

Why the heck did I ever think CJ was turning the corner?
headslap

No idea. This is pretty much how Cody turns corners:

bad turn

All I can do is shake my head. He must have blown every possible chance, given Beamer's propensity to give said chances.

Next man up? Let's put A.J. back there. The man can do it all. Otherwise, Sam Rogers will just stare at the ball and scare it through the uprights.

"Exit light..."

I wish the Richmond transfer were eligible this year. Sigh.

In Sam Rogers we trust.

If we can build on Saturday, hopefully we won't have to rely on crucial FGs.

What about PATs though?

man bear pig 2 pts!!!

Onward and upward

Sam Rogers and Derrick Hopkins alternate 2 point conversions.

I'm not gonna crucify a guy for hanging out with cheerleaders, although the writing on the wall was there for this guy and his respect and commitment (or lack thereof) to the team and the game.

Unfortunately, this is BAD news for us. Having bad flashbacks to the Sugar Bowl. Hopefully the O has turned a corner after the Miami game because if we need to rely on getting to the endzone every drive, that seems like a dicey proposition.

Sugar Bowl is EXACTLY what I thought of first. Letting his team down once again with a stupid off the field mistake.

A friend just texted me that image. Crazy. Why didn't you get your act together, Cody?

Does the KIA stand for something like Kicked off In Action?

Wasn't J. R. Collins on the tickets for the Duke game, which he was suspended for?

Yes, yes he was. Poor timing by marketing Dept.

Smdh. They just need to STOP PUTTING PLAYERS ON THE F-KING TICKETS.

DFWTF...DON'T FUCK WITH THE FULLERS

Erroneous, they need to start putting the other team's top players on the tickets. Just put the Hokiebird on the ticket with them, that way he's utilized & never ends up on a helmet again.

Or maybe they should put the obvious players on the tickets. Like, quarterbacks. By that I obviously mean Mark Leal.

Guess it's time to see what Cartoons Plural can do.

Bout time

Let's Go...

Rumor has it that he got suspended for the Marshall game because he was drug tested after the ECU game and failed

Well.

I support Logan Thomas and make no apologies for it.

Surely one (if not both) of the Fullers can kick field goals.

Honestly, I have wondered all year why Ludwig hasn't been given a chance at place kicking. Saw him play at Abingdon and remember him kicking a couple of 40-plus yarders with ease.

Not entirely sure but isn't Ludwig still hurt?

What's the soccer team look like? lol

#allmarooneverything

Their season is over. Someone tell Devonte or Renfro to suit up.

Ha, it didn't work out so well for Tony Meola. I did see Sergio Ramos boot a nice one this summer though.

SAM ROGERS, you're up. He can scare the ball straight through the uprights.

DFWTF...DON'T FUCK WITH THE FULLERS

Do we have another Nick Sorenson type player?

I actually worked with his father for a couple yrs. nice guy but never got to meet Nick

@AMB4VT

I'm kinda bummed... he looked like he was about to turn things around and have a real break-in season.... alas.

When do Nina Pinta and Santamaria arrive??

The only surprising thing here is that it didn't happen earlier or during the offseason. I was really rooting for him to get his ducks in a row but I hope this brings him to turn things around.

It could be worse. We could be WVU Alumni...

tada

Thank god Cocain Journell is gone!

Well, Scott better get some short yardage plans ramped up. Also, choose red zone plays carefully where the offense can get into short yardage on 4th down. I heard we have a walk on kicking in practice now. Cody was let off to easy each time he made a mistake and it's finally caught up to him. Does Cody lose his academic scholarship as well?
