I understand that psychology of being the little guy and fighting to prove you belong. It can be very motivational. But IMO we need to move past this.

This is what mediocre teams say in hopes to find some luck. Championship caliber teams simply believe they will win.

VT needs to get to the point where we win the big games, not because we play with a chip on our shoulder, but for the simple fact that we believe we can and should win them.

Wrong. It's better to know you're going to win and then do exactly that, because it's expected of you.

Remember, if winning was easy then losers would do it. Don't strive to overcome being a loser, strive to remain a winner.

Well VT is 1-5 against those three teams picked ahead of us over the past two years. I'm fully optimistic they can beat all three but objectively speaking it's hard to criticize the media for voting any differently.

No beach, high taxes, too much snow and cold. 7 years in Ohio was enough of that.

Wasn't that Stinespring's mantra?

We got great school and low cost of living up here in State College. Very stable economy. Not an island. Unless you count us as an islandin the middle of Pennsyltucky

Pitt's defense scares the beejesus out of me. Offensively, I don't know where they get explosive plays, Their margin for error is going to be tiny.

North Carolina is the most talented team. Quarterback is a question, but Trubisky is good enough that Fedora was mixing him in with Williams. The defense gets back most everyone except Schoettmer. If their offensive line is adequate, they will be a handful. Pitt played them really tough, but they couldn't muster enough on offense to hang with UNC. And, now the Panthers don't have Boyd.

I don't buy Miami. The Hokies played like turd blossoms against them and that was still a game.

Redskins release former #Hokies star Kyshoen Jarrett, who may not play again: https://t.co/Oa9KNp9INA pic.twitter.com/wJ8EBrqmMS— michael phillips (@michaelpRTD) July 25, 2016

Wow!

As of last month, Jarrett was still unable to use his right arm, the result of nerve damage he suffered during a game against the Dallas Cowboys last year.

If Jarrett's career is over, he will likely qualify for payments under an NFL insurance policy that covers players who become disabled as the direct result of playing football.

Hope that is the case

And I write that as someone who thinks 757 recruits are generally overvalued a bit. I like this kid at WR better than I like Laborn at RB.

I really like Capeheart. Incredible speed off the football at the snap (so fast I worry that he may get some motion penalties because it almost looks like he is dropping early.) Terrific bend and acceleration, which makes him a weapon on screens and quick throws in front of coverage. I would like to see more film of him against press coverage to see if he can get separation on intermediate routes.

Make that 18.

I believe we are the only team in the coastal to not play any of the top three projected Atlantic teams.

Make him 6'6 300, and you nailed it.
