Then we should probably tell McDonald's to stop selling the Big Mac.
I am 90% sure he pronounces is (Mick)Million, hence why I think we should give him a new abbreviated nickname.
He probably dreamed about VT when we were dominating the conference. Now it is Clemson and FSU.
I think we'll be back to being contenders under Fuente. He needs to make us much more exciting to watch (he will) and start getting the Ws.
Exactly. We can't get every recruit. He liked Clemson more. Time to move on.
I'm hopeful that Garbutt still likes VT and commits.
Garbutt and Hunter signing with the Hokies and I'm pretty pumped.
Depends on how the Rams do, but I'd say better than 50/50.
What are the odds that they'll be the Los Angeles Chargers by 2020?
glad to help out .... just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something like dork magic .... THAT was a bad week to be off of TKP!!
Thanks. The way I read that doesn't say he has been a "lifelong fan" he even used a past tense word when describing about playing for Tech. So again I think this comes back to succes or lack thereof for DL out of Tech not some easy to recruit player that the coaches just didn't do anything with.
I assume we can report BB recruiting news here also, Raiquan Gray makes his choice tomorrow at 2:00pm. 6'8" big man 2017class who would be a great get added in with NAW, Baylor appears to be main competition. NAW recruiting hard on twitter.
Here's the tweet everyone is talking about. It's from last april.

Awesome.
I've got 21 guys. I'd love to get to 21 I trust right now, but some of those are pups."
I know he means all levels but wow that seems like a great number to have.
"He needed to (lose weight), he feels better now," Vice said. "His knees feel better, he can move around a little bit. He tries to take his shirt off now, too. He started losing a little weight, start(ed) laying out and sun-tanning
Love this quote.
Wasn't sure where to post this. Check out Isaiah Ford with the flip.

Anybody know what a two deep would look like on OL?
I'm not looking for you to do base line research, friend. I'm asking where you heard he was a lifelong Hokie Fan. And I'm asking if you are implying that he should have been an easy get for the coaches.
Thanks Ryan, that's the quote I was looking for that I'd seen elsewhere.
Although now I'm suddenly reminded of chasing greased pigs...
Told them the name Hokie originally meant nothing, really, just an attention getting word from a hundred year old cheer. That's where it had originated, and other than a handfull of bullshit assertions (you know, you've heard them, like a castrated turkey, etc.), that is precisely where "Hokie" came from.
"It's hard running around in shoulder pads and trying to lock up on D-linemen who are all slippery when they're not wearing shirts or anything"

when was the last time OL was thought to be the most consistent and seemingly not as much of a worry?
It scares and excites me at the same time.

Damn, man, there must have been a lot of horse owners there, then. I had the unfortunate experience of living near hooville for ten years, and the one thing you cannot say about the school is that they don't have at least their share of beautiful wimmin. One of my friends even rear ended a car one day near campus because of a particularly attractive bevy of babes walking by. He paid the guy off on the spot for the tap, but sustained enough damage to his Saab that he went home and at midnight, called the State Police and claimed that he had hit a deer on Rt. 29, submitted the accident to his insurance company, and got off light. If you know me, you know I don't often say anything nice about the lolhoos, but in this case...
I'm a big Marshawn Williams fan (I think he is the best or second best back on the roster) but you're entirely right. He needs to get a hold on the ball. And stay healthy.
kudos for providing well deserved Hokie education. Curious though, how did you explain where the name came from? Was it different then the School defined story?
Embarrassed to say that I didn't know the spellings in the cheer, and it seems to have changed over the years, but I wasn't far off. When I learned it in '68, I could swear the cheer was ray ri VPI, but have since seen it repeatedly spelled ray rah. Either way, it sure was fun repeating my version of it at a downtown New Orleans bar in 1995 when a Texas girl got on stage and said "All I want to know is, what's a Hokie?" At the time, their school was only a hundred years old, and our cheer was as old as their whole school, and I must admit that I raised the roof with my explanation of where the name Hokie came from, the subsequent leading of the Hokies there in the cheer, and my final words that on the next day, they would all find out just what a Hokie really was. And, dammit, they surely did!! My friends who were there still applaud me for that performance, one of my finest as a Hokie fan.
I'm not your google, bro.

Wow just finished
One of the best shows I've watched in years. Can't wait for season 2
