Do I really need to explain the house that needs protects in my southern states?

Choppin wood by the JUGS | 9 years 10 months # | Not a surprise. Orange helmets on Sat

considering ECU wore White jerseys with purple pants vs South Carolina...

VT could wear maroon jersey and white pants.... especially since no orange jerseys or pants were ordered for this year If I remember correctly from the uniform unveiling

I agree, I always wear my gray shirts for the White out games.

Hard to Hate on Stevie after reading this quote in the Boston Globe .... ""We played a good team in a tough environment and you've got to learn how to handle that," Addazio said. "You can't shrink in that environment, you have to expand in that environment and I think there were some guys that I looked at and obviously this was a big environment for them — the biggest they've ever played in — and they could feel that."

Great article, and just another great reason to join the Key Players Club!

Maybe by the end of his career, but you don't take Mook today over a senior Cody Grimm. It's easy to forget that Cody was an All-American.

I actually agree with this. Those orange helmets just look right with the orange collar on the jerseys. Save the maroon helmets for the biggest games of the year when you break out the AME.

Exactly what I was describing in this comment. Don't worry about making the tackle, worry about making the play. Mook is doing just that by being sound in his assignments. Excellent write up Mason!

Mook is the Nickelback, Adonis is the Creed, and Facyson is the Kid Rock because that secondary is nasty

There was a great write-up last year on TCU's defense. I can't remember where I read it, but it broke down a lot of what they do in their secondary. The most interesting to me was how their safeties make calls on each half of the field. They make calls independent of one another on how to defend their side of the field. In Mason's breakdown, he points out the unique coverage of Terrell in a deep zone to the boundary and Clark in robber to the field. I wonder if that will become one of Foster's takeaways from his visit.

Beer: well I'll be tailgating with that same orange IPA I made for the Tennessee game (it is an Orange Effect game), but I also picked up this beauty yesterday since Wicked Weed started distributing in VA. I will likely consume it as the special beer during the tailgate!

Field looks great and I wish more fans would wear the colors they are told to wear

| 9 years 10 months # | Question for those that have scalped tix on gameday

Since this doesn't seem worthy of a whole thread, I'll ask here. Where are good places to park? I've never had to deal with this before because I've wither been an MV or been able to walk/bus there.

I imagine that looks something like this:

NickVT10 | 9 years 10 months # | Examining Mook Reynolds' Role as Virginia Tech's Nickelback

Last year, were the players asked to force the spills the DEs as we ran more traditional nickel players? It seemed like Dadi was constantly out of position leaving the alley player in no mans land.

Having a whip like player again, does that help Mihota/Ekanem out with their roles?

hokie07ME | 9 years 10 months # | Interesting talk on Huddlecast

And that's not even taking into account the recruiting ammunition you have from being able to claim top ranking offenses

Michigan State - Not all in on Wisconsin and Sparty looks good after dismantling Notre Dame.
Pittsburgh - Pitt keeps it close.
Tennessee - The lose of Luke Del Rio really hurts Florida here.
Michigan - Michigan is a great all-around team and I admittedly don't know much about PSU other than their RB.
Stanford - Pretty easy pick here
Arkansas - I really like how Arkansas plays and Austin Allen has started off strong in replacing his brother at QB.
