# | Bryce Thompson Opts to Go Public With Commitment to Virginia Tech This is the hardest part about recruiting, keeping that level of interest and commitment until he steps foot on the field in O&M. Until then, it's all speculation.
"Wherever the team needs me most". I love his attitude. Welcome to Hokie Nation, Bryce. You'll love VT.
Pardon a dumb question but is the printed version of the guide normally available at the stadium on game days? (I'm not sure if they even bother with a printed version anymore.)

# | Bryce Thompson Opts to Go Public With Commitment to Virginia Tech Long way to go until he can sign on the dotted line, but he sounds like a fine young man who will make an outstanding Hokie. Welcome aboard, Bryce.
Guy on the left in the picture looks kind of like Paul Johnson...
Nocatee would be high on my list, especially if your kids are younger. The newer developments in that Racetrack/Bartram Park/Old St Augustine road area generally east of the Julington Creek developments warrant a close look as well. Palm Valley east of the ICW has some interesting established neighborhoods. Getting in either the Ponte Vedra or Creekside HS zones wouldn't be bad at all.
World Golf is not really kid territory.
Good fishing in the creeks off the ICW south of Palm Valley. Fall/winter is best.
So, that's like your opinion, man.
Literally, it is criteria that you chose. I'm sure a UVA fan could easily create criteria that would favor TB. I can't keep track, but they have 2 ACC reg seasons (one with an incredible record) one ACCT win, two #1s and a #2 in the NCAA. TB also seems to recruit and develop excellent young men.
When Buzz got to VT, he was further along than TB when he arrived at UVA. But what TB has accomplished at UVA, nobody could have predicted or expect of any contemporaries. I don't know what Buzz will do in the next three years, but I doubt it will match Benetts last three years. It would be a statistical near impossibility. I doubt TB will match his own pace over the next three years and he has already fully built his infrastructure.
Buzz has proven to be a good NCAA tourney coach, but that's also small sample size stuff. I'd like to see him continue his tourney success with VT this March.
I love Buzz, let's let him be his own man and not be Tony Bennett. Respect what Bennett has done, it's remarkable. But we got our own story to write.
Yes, when Knoxville types this, it's sarcasm. You're right though... A little too genuine!
I think the bigger issue is the cost (and logistics) of making a football field in the infield every year. Bristol would not sell out any ACCCG matchups to recoup those added costs.
He did not inherit Cam Newton. Newton played at a JuCo during Chizik's first season at Auburn then enrolled mid year in time for Spring practice in 2010.
My grandma is from coeburn and turned 102 today!

# | What other Cities could the ACC move the Conference Championship Game to. Again that's what the PAC thought but it didn't happen unless they went to Oregon. Just have to agree to disagree since the ACC will never go that route.
Edit: it's also been awhile since Tech had a sellout and FSU was down 11% in Attendance this past season about 11,000 a game average fewer than a sellout.
Chizik's situation was a little unique in that he inherited a Heisman winning QB. I'd be shocked beyond belief if that was the case for Fuente.
Oh god I can't believe I have to ask but... this is TIC right?
This is in my home territory. Originally from Wise.
FSU, Clem, VT, UNC, NC State, Loserville
Most of those places don't sell out games
I disagree. FSU and Clemson sell out every week. We sell out the big games, and come close when we don't. UNC I'll give you. NC State and Louisville have a good crowd almost every week, and sell out the big ones as well.
Most importantly, if you're at the top of the ACC with a potential play-in game for the College Football Playoff on your home field, you're not going to have trouble selling tickets. We'd all be fighting over tickets if we had a game like that in Lane, and even schools with historically bad attendance like UVA and UNC would be able to fill seats after such a successful season.
With it being Burden that was particularly excited about an announcement in 14 days I'm thinking it could be Capehart. That would be a huge in terms of perception.
The lack of places to stay near Bristol on short notice would be a huge problem.

# | What other Cities could the ACC move the Conference Championship Game to. Looking north end of St. John's. Nocatee, Pointe Verde, World Golf etc
For anyone that has been to that stadium... Columbia is not a great city and the stadium is out in the middle of nowhere. Not to mention there are a number of terrible seats in that stadium (seems like more than other places I've been to). But from a location standpoint, yes that's a good one.
We lived in Fleming Island from 96 thru 2014 in a gated community next to Eagle Harbor (Pace Island). [ daveinop stands for Dave in Orange Park.] Kids both graduated from FIHS.
Wife and I are now on the south end of St Augustine. Love the vibe here.
Let me know if you ever have any Q's about the area.
depending on the age of your kids...the magnet high schools in Duval are excellent. otherwise steer towards St Johns and Clay counties

# | What other Cities could the ACC move the Conference Championship Game to. Most of those places don't sell out games, have a hard time believing with 5-7 days notice they will sell out with those fans looking at tickets for possibly playoffs/bowl game to buy and travel to.
If FSU, Clem, VT, UNC, NC State, Loserville, even UVa hosted the game because they were the highest ranked ACC team it would sell out. I would guess that GT (if they played Clem FSU or LVille) would sell out as well.
One of those games was at Stanford and they don't draw large crowds anyway.
I was in a weird mood when I wrote it, it's more tongue-in-cheek than anything...got a lot of respect for TB and UVA's basketball program.
