# | What other Cities could the ACC move the Conference Championship Game to. We were just there in June and loved it, looking to relocate there. Wife and kids loved the shopping at St. John's, great outer loop, went to beach.
It's outside of the "ACC" belt, but I'd say Nashville. Good tourist destination, got an nfl stadium. Could be cold enough for a proper game or reasonably warm.

Ooooh, representing my hs alma mater
The usual complaint is there is no party (bars and strip clubs) scene downtown around the stadium.
We love it here. The stadium is excellent and the people who run it are among the best in the business. The airport is easy to get in and out of. They've completed 295 on the east side since those games have been played...the Town Center is very nice. and it's much easier to get to the beach.
Golf, tennis, kayaking, and fishing are perfect at that time of year. You can stay pretty much on the beach at Amelia Island, Jax Beach, Ponte Vedra (the Ocean Club is fantastic), and/or St Augustine and go upscale or budget.

Love the way he jacked up the running back trying to block him at 2:48.

# | Hokies Staging a "Blacksburg Bash," Modest Camp to Rev Up Recruiting for the Summer Maybe it's a long wait because the guy has to decommit from another school first and then make the news of his VT commit public which could be Hafiz or Hollifield, or it could be Garbutt recommitting or Capehart. My guess is one of those 4 guys.

# | What other Cities could the ACC move the Conference Championship Game to. Bmore does have a rail line, and if you aren't grilling before a game, is a great option. Perfect for Ravens games.

# | ASK FRENCH- What are your Hokie football questions before fall camp kicks off? If it did, I would be stunned. Any average HS coach would catch the same tendencies. If a DI P5 school coach was using what I was writing as a game planning tool, they likely wouldn't have a job down the road.
The fundamentals I talk about for Foster's defense have been documented through his presentations at numerous clinics and pay sites. I just try to simplify it and look at the bread and butter stuff. Offensively, I evaluate more individual performance and bread and butter plays (mainly because the offense has been such a hodge podge.)
My one venture into a really deep dive type review was after Wake Forest two years ago- that was something that, had I written before the game- would have given the Deacons a big weapon. Unfortunately, they have a damn good defensive staff and figured the tendency on their own. I noticed the tendency during the game and the film confirmed my worst fears. I, like many of us, was so frustrated that I decided to go with it, and here it was:

Wow, we needed that.

# | ASK FRENCH- What are your Hokie football questions before fall camp kicks off? Corey Marshall busted his tail to maintain. The problem was physics. If an OL got squared up on Corey, he was at a disadvantage.
Dadi wasn't healthy, and he was not particular good once he was engaged anyway. I always thought he was misused. Once Foster went Bear, Dadi got exposed because teams could kick him out. He needed a bad ass three tech holding up inside to maximize him. Maddy healthy was that guy. Maddy last year was good when you ran zone at him. If he was getting down blocked, he was run out of his gap fit way way way too often. That space between Dadi getting kicked out and Maddy blocked down exposed the linebackers, who often had to fit AND beat a block to make the play. For the guys they had, that was too much.
Ekanem-Williams-Baron-Mihota (with the options of bringing in big kids like Walker and Settle) and Edmunds is a huge size, leverage upgrade. They need Nigel Williams to show up as end of the season Nigel Williams (he has been great down the stretch the last two years, but not great in camp and early season games in the same time period) and they need Ekanem to take that next step and be the game changer on the edge. Hill and Gaines can give them 4 good series a game and help on passing downs, and we have something going.
Also, if Edmunds can line up right, he is already an upgrade on Clarke.

# | Hokies Staging a "Blacksburg Bash," Modest Camp to Rev Up Recruiting for the Summer I am icing a fifth of Patron in anticipation of this event.
"the kid gets his nose in there"
Love to hear that report. That phrase is what I consider the definition of a football player. You either are willing, or you are not. Look up "stick your nose in there" and see a pic of DeAngelo Hall. If you are right, and he sticks at receiver, at least we know he is going to block.
I also loved the "they were tailgating at 6AM"! #hokiefansmakinganimpact

# | Hokies Staging a "Blacksburg Bash," Modest Camp to Rev Up Recruiting for the Summer Ricky Slade wasn't in town too, was he?
1- Charlotte. Its central to all the ACC, pretty much guaranteeing solid attendance.
2- IF the BoB works, and if a football field would fit there, why not Martinsville speedway? Also central location.
3- As far south as it can go and still get solid attendance IMO, Somewhere in SC, likely Columbia or Charleston (is there a stadium big enough?), or Myrtle Beach (no way there's a stadium big enough).
Everybody is all about those southern locations, which might work if only southern teams win, but lets be real, our own attendance to Tampa? Jacksonville? where-ever those first 'ship games were played wasn't great, and we travel in the top 5 teams in the ACC.
