My first game as a kid was 1967 and this conjures up memories of those days. They need to bring back those horns too. Could be a little earlier but I'd say the Claiborne era with a big question mark(?) Nice find and thanks for sharing.
Nothing seems to have worked better against GT in the past than some defensive tackles that can get penetration in the center and clog up the hand off. It just really kills it stone dead for their kind of offense.

PIE!!!
Tim Settle can squat pi of me.
Sorry for the delay. I was looking at price points for little houses...
I still get the occasional stress from the locals up here about that. All good natured, of course
Can't believe they brought my favorite old mascot back, bought this back in 2008 and have no idea how old it is.

I think we will see a much more gap sound front four this year than last year. I don't think we will see as many dynamic run-for-loss type plays though. Ultimately, success will depend on someone from the group of Ekanem, Mihota, Baron, Williams, Gaines, Hill, Dooley, Settle, Walker, and Sobczak stepping up and winning one on one battles. There wasn't enough of that last year (Ekanem stood out as the guy who most consistently beat blocks to make plays.)

# | "Dependable" DT Woody Baron Ready to Seize His Senior Season, Build on Family Legacy How do you think he holds up in the run game this year? Will having a run stopping upgrade in Mihota over Dadi help much?
That would be the most epic troll job ever. Someone would finally unseat KJ at the top spot.

Consider the development cycle... Gaines had a full year of practice, while Hill was getting his first contact in over a year. Hill was also playing the stud side, which requires an alignment more as a 7 tech without the benefit of the wide rush angle. And, Gaines took a big step forward as well- that is a good thing, not a bad thing.
Come on. He would have looked all kinds of silly committing to VT in a lambo with FSU stickers. Of course that's the reason he picked them!
How sure are we that he is healthy? Had expected him to be our next "guy" at DE so was surprised to hear gaines making so much noise compared to him.
I'm not sure what will solve the recruiting problems at VT. But I'm pretty sure he didn't choose FSU just because he got to ride in a Lamborghini.
When Baron was being recruited and then grayshirted, folks were kind of down on him. I wasn't because, despite not jumping off the screen athletically or size-wise, the kid was productive. I think way too often, productivity is overlooked in the recruiting process. I am thrilled that he has had such an excellent career.

Had to happen one of these days.
Those who have been wondering what to expect from a healthy Trevon Hill- here you go...
Sorry for bringing up such an old thread but it looks like Andy Staples of SI stole my mad lib style:

Very apt simile. So I guess we're one of the homeless guys in the dog pile scrambling to retrieve said $100 bill?
Was driving thru Cambridge, MD today (I work for the city) and saw VA Vt tags "SNDMN1" Thought there's no way the Prez is in town, but saw the owner standing outside. Had to stop to say hi to another Hokie!


Hopefully he squats enough to crack the starting lineup and start wrecking some havoc on opposing o-linemen...
