# | Virginia Tech Football Commits reach Four-star ranking as 247Sports shows them some love 
Only an opinion, but don't bother. We will sell out anything we get. If you buy through ND, you'll be taking a ticket from an ND fan instead of a VT fan. *

This is where I got two tickets at $85 apiece.
* This is just a guess on my part, but I think it's reasonable.

# | ASK FRENCH- What are your Hokie football questions before fall camp kicks off? Agreed with everything except the last part about the playoff. The playoff makes it harder to win as one of those outsider teams. You have to beat 2 really, legit powers instead of one. See Oregon. I think it is much easier with a favorable matchup to out coach or matchup well in a one game scenario than to win a 4 game playoff I think it is much more favorable towards the talented powerhouses

# | What other Cities could the ACC move the Conference Championship Game to. Shanghai! ok, ok... Hawaii. Split the difference
That's not really saying much...
Columbia SC has a large stadium and is 1 hour from Charlotte.. Orlando offers a lot of other attractions and lots of hotel space.

I ordered 4 through Tech. Now, I really want Tech to tell me if I got them, or if I need to buy from ND.
Considering Tobacco Road runs shit in the ACC, I highly doubt the game would ever get moved. The location is perfect for those 4 schools, plus GT, Clemson, VT and lolUVA to attend the games.
The DC Area has a strong ACC alumni base. That'd be my vote, but old Danny boy needs to let them in. Renting FedEx is a major undertaking legally and financially. It royally sucked having no Copa America games this past summer in the nations capital.
Nothing North of DC will be acceptable to the southern members, and I can almost see GT, Clemson, FSU, and Miami vetoing DC as too far away.
If Charlotte is out, all of NC is out. That effectively leaves SC, GA, FL or a non-ACC affiliated state.
Is there really anywhere in SC worthy of a championship game? Charleston is the best name I can think of for access, and I don't know if there is a decent stadium there.
Georgia is pretty much tied up by the SEC and I don't want to be second fiddle to the SEC.
Florida is a horrible location period. Too far from everybody but FSU and Miami and we shouldn't be trying to accommodate Miami as they are NEVER going to make it to the Coastal championship.
I guess if Charlotte and DC are out, New Orleans. Now that is a fun place to have a bowl.
I don't think moving it back to Florida will do anything but hurt attendance to the game.
BC never travels.
ODU stadium expansion will get to approximately 30,000 seats which isn't enough. I just don't see anything big enough coming up in the 757 to house the game.

# | ASK FRENCH- What are your Hokie football questions before fall camp kicks off? Right on the money. Just because it may be improbable doesn't make it impossible. Clemson has only one national championship and was average at best under Bowden, yet now they were only a few points away from winning it all last year and now are top in the polls. Baylor football was a joke until Briles came in, same with TCU. I think with a well coached team and skill players at offense, and a strong defense we could perhaps upset someone to win the trophy. Now with a playoff it's easier for us to be in contention for the title.

looking to buy tickets. does anyone know where the Hokie Club will allocate VT seats so I can buy close to VT section?
Thanks for the heads up about Chicago.
If they are moving it from Charlotte they aren't going to another North Carolina city....
Since I live in Northern Virginia these days I would say DC. I honestly don't see a better city that isn't already taken other than Charlotte. It would be a great shame to to move it.

# | Hokies Staging a "Blacksburg Bash," Modest Camp to Rev Up Recruiting for the Summer Taking a page out of the Louisville recruiting notebook I see.
Well I was at the championship game in Tampa when we beat BC. The attendance was pretty poor. I doubt if having it at the better team's home venue is that much of a loss. Pretty much anywhere other than Charlotte is going to be poor turnout. We won't get Atlanta, which I think would be the only chance to fill a neutral site outside of Charlotte
Not much statistical difference on any given early Dec night between Charlotte and DC. 5 degrees maybe?
I agree. Hooker completed 127 of his 198 passes (64%) for 2,234 yards and 17 touchdown passes in his junior season. He added 1,217 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns on 122 carries (9.9+ YPC). I think that he has earned moving to a four-star ranking. He has notable offers from both Notre Dame and Clemson that he passed on to commit to the Hokies. He is suited for the read option spread. Clemson and Notre Dame operate out of spread offenses, also. I think he is sort of made out of the spread QB-DT template that Fuente is looking to bring to Blacksburg. He is not near as fast as Vick though.
