# | Hokies Prepare for Junior Day, Even with National Signing Day Just in the Rearview Mirror Tell me about it. In terms of conditioning, dude looks college ready TOMORROW.
This post by swvadon should totally not be getting downvoted. Up to this point we have been able to disagree rationally. Let's not go off the rails just because we disagree with someone. Nobody here has been insulting.
I thought the same damn thing. Bring em home.

# | Virginia Tech Football Signee Tim Settle: "I don't want to hear 'prep school'" If he has bellow a 2.3, I don't think he can play year one, can he?
The ECU effect...
Jake is absolutely the nicest guy, too. Whenever we ran into each other on campus we'd spend twenty or thirty minutes just shooting the shit. His dad is now head coach at Gate City.
THANK YOU.
Though I've taken to calling it "The Bar from Deliverance"
I graduated with Chad Beasley, and Jake Housewright was the year after me. I'm not sure why we cooled on recruiting that area.

# | Hokies Prepare for Junior Day, Even with National Signing Day Just in the Rearview Mirror Glad we're getting Eric Kumah on campus. Now let's get him to commit and add a second WR to the 2016 class before the spring thaw.
EDIT: Hey, will Zohn Burden be on campus for this? I wasn't sure if he's arrived at VT yet or not. This would be a great chance for him to dive in head first in recruiting.
Blue Devils, brah.
Yup I think they demolished it around '06. It was one of those places you were pretty sure you'd wind up as dinner if you went in without knowing the locals. At one point I think in addition to being a bar, they worked on transmissions. And I mean the crows COVERED this thing. Crazy.
Gate City by-God Virginia, home of the Italian Stallion, Nick Colobro. Class of '97. Go big blue.
Where you at?

# | Hokies Prepare for Junior Day, Even with National Signing Day Just in the Rearview Mirror That's Mookington to you.
Rece has also praised our program on numerous occasions. IIRC he called the GT game that DW4 won work a kickoff return touchdown. Isn't he the guy who said, "Does it get any better than a Thursday night in Blacksburg?"
I thought I heard they weren't gonna sell those seats and make up for it with the temporary seating they're installing on the track itself.
And don't worry, I'll provide a full report on the live experience.
Bristol is not well suited for a destination game. TRI is not a well serviced airport, and the Tri-Cities lacks the infrastructure and accommodations for an event of that size that isn't attended by a high percentage of locals who sleep in their own beds that night. It's one thing when it's the race, because it draws heavily from the surrounding areas for attendance. The reason VT/Tennessee might do well is because it's a similar situation. Trying to draw, say, that Alabama and Michigan fan bases would be problematic for the venue and the area.
Do you remember that little shack of a bar that was right on the state line that always had a murder of crows perched on the tin roof? That was always freaky as hell. It would've been on your left coming from Kingsport, and it was exactly where the asphalt changed, where TNDOT stopped maintaining the road and VADOT started, just before you came down the hill toward the Homestead.

# | Scot Loeffler's Persistence, Pro Pedigree Helps Hokies Flip "Multitalented" QB Dwayne Lawson That sounds really close to what we already do. Lefty definitely has experience calling read option with LT last year.
You wanna rebuild both lines every year?!
Just to be clear, that was a touch of hyperbole above. I think one a year at QB would be fine. But if we whiff one year we should get two the next.
Undertaker paced the top of the cage for a LONG time after Mick dropped, and the look on his face was like, ohhhhh shit.
Before the latest contract renegotiations with ESPN, we still held third tier television rights but we gave those up. I THINK that includes games that are only streamed, but I'm not certain. But I think Weaver was probably operating under the old contract when he was setting noon kickoffs left and right.
I think French said in the recruiting night thread that Stiney said Hoyt "might" be a gray shirt, which tells me that they're waiting to see how the numbers go after the dreamcrusher...I mean clearinghouse...does its thing.
