God I remember, not so fondly, standing in the early morning halls of Brodie yelling "First call to Growley, sirs! First call to Growley, sirs! First call to Growley, sirs!". Rat year sucked.

The NCAA isn't preventing them from earning a fair wage. If you want them to be fairly compensated, take it up with the professional league in the NFL, who prevents anyone under a certain age from attempting to join.

This touches on my only real issue with the system the way it is. The NCAA and the NFL and NBA conspired to put eligibility rules in place to keep players who could be earning good professional salaries in college, where they cannot. It takes away the athletes right to compete in a free market based on their ability.

has it been explicitly said that Teller would not start against Liberty? If so, I missed that.

All I've seen is that he's getting work with the twos and that vague comment from Fuente that Petitt has been playing better in practice.

It doesn't give me confidence that he'll start, mind you, but I don't think that necessarily means he won't start either. He could have a great week at practice and earn a starting role. Or he couldn't. I don't know.

All sound great. Second turkey leg stand is definitely my favorite of what's listed.

The Hokies Xtra app additions will be cool, but will we have the bandwidth to use it at the stadium during a game? I think the answer is no, sadly

The scuttlebutt on Evans is that he lacks a little bit of the necessary arm strength and throws it to the other team too much.

Perhaps this is not a reflection on Evans as much as it is on the defense?

very true, but the guy posted something vague of a personal encounter that may have some merit behind it. Just saying he ran into him and he had a bad attitude isn't really attacking anyone (throwing shade) etc. we all have bad days. maybe wyatt just had too many in a row. something has gone on that's caused our most dominant OL, two years in a row, to not be starting against liberty though.
