I agree.
"These are not highly recruited kids or All-American talents. However, they run every fake and execute every block with tremendous effort and desperation."
Man, is this music to my ears. You drill, and drill, and drill some more, until every unit, every cog in the machine, is humming along, and success is just about guaranteed. It is an age old concept, seen in everything from the military to fast food operations. Everybody is important, and everybody has to do their job. It is great for team morale to know that everyone has a huge role in the success.
I have often wondered if 3 star guys were more suited to "buy in", too. Good thing, haha, since we are stocked full of 'em. Seriously, though, I'm highly optimistic we are on to something big here with Fuente. Great article.
I actually like the book on all three of these games. The Hokies should be able to stay at least 10 points away from UT. I think they will be beat Pitt outright, and we're due for another episode of 38-0 bro.
I would spread $33 a piece on each game, and then use the leftover dollar to buy a lottery ticket.
I wasn't necessarily counting on today being productive, it being the first day back after a long weekend and all, but now there's no hope. I'll be on the toilet watching film.
My mind can't comprehend articles that depict effictive hokie offenses
Before the season starts, you might want to make sure your health insurance covers mental health professionals. Your mind is about to be blown for three straight months.

I'm not sure how we will look this fall with the players picking up a new scheme, but I am really excited about the potential of this offense.
Any thoughts on how the offense will look this fall? Will the whole play book be used?
The good thing is that we have a lot of veterans.
thank you kindly! :)
My mind can't comprehend articles that depict effictive hokie offenses, let alone good, let alone offensive genius. So this is basically what i just read:
Hype, hype, hype, hype... we're winning the Championship baby!
That would look damn good in my ass pocket.
Happy bday dude
Happy Birthday to me!
thank you French!!!
However, "He is only the fourth player designated as a long snapper ever to be drafted". So who knows where this will go. Are supplemental drafts considered the same as regular drafts, as far as the type of player that gets drafted?
All the best to a real star and winner and Hokie ambassador.
Navy actually had one drafted last season. Joe Cardona
Edit: They said "invited walk on" during the broadcast, so they knew he was coming, but no scholarship initially.
Also watched 2010 Miami and ACC champ; chris hazely was bored and decided to walk on (Walmart kicker indeed), was perfect for the season (after the Boise State miss).



Oh, almost forgot. No Patriotic Celebration comes complete without this:

HAPPY AMERICA DAY, UNIVERSE!!!

Whelp after 6 years of setting off medium range and power fireworks I've had my first mishap. Had one tip over and shoot across the lawn and knock a hole into the side of my kids wooden playhouse. Then me being all "well that was a freak accident" used the same brand and type of firework ten minutes later and this was me:

I wonder when this happens does he have to consult VT? Beamer? Other players? NCAA?
IIRC, Hughes was a scholarship punter.

It will take some time. These are new roles for Phillips, Hodges, and Ford. Evans/Motley are not the QB that Paxton Lynch is, and elements to the offense that we saw under Lynch (see back shoulder/deep outs) are not as likely with the current QB crop. HBack is a real wildcard- I don't see someone on this roster that can emulate Alan Cross (blocking and pass catching-more on him in the next column.)
However, schematically, this offense I think is much more difficult for a defender to key than Loeffler's. I think, minus the quarterback footwork and mesh points, it will be simpler for the offensive players to learn. Hopefully things gel before generational talents like Ford and Hodges are gone.
