IMO, we under recruit OH and PA especially for O Line. There are some athletes as well that are under the radar. I do like that we are hitting LA, And GA more.

Go to Wonderworks, Ilinois Hokie in Pigeon Forge. It's 35,000 sq ft of fun stuff and your kids will enjoy it. It is the "upside down" house. "Remember to wear closed toe shoes".

And also remenber that when Frank was saying that, the world was a bit different then.
The one thing Frank had to work with, beyond others as a limitation, was budget.

I seem to recall a number something along the lines of VT being one of the teams that made it to a national championship game with a dramatically smaller budget than the others.

Somebody straighten out my memory here, what stat am I thinking of.

Well,

I think if you land every guy you want in that 6 hour radius, you may have a shot every few years or so. But we aren't doing that so......

If strength of schedule wasn't a factor, I'd say it should be Syracuse. I mean, who could forget all those crazy games against them from the Big East days, many of which I'd like to forget. I just wish we would have beat them the times when we had them down, and McNabb pulls some crazy play out of his ass to beat us. I just don't recall games like that against Pitt.

Good to know. If you combine our major recruiting areas of Virginia, the Carolinas, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, new Jersey we're talking about 28% of the recruits with huge disproportional share of good guys in Georgia and Florida. Helps playing teams in these states and getting press in those areas.

This, America has won every Superbowl, what other measuring stick do you need to prove our greatness?!

Bogen's was a great place back in the 80s, I know. Funny, I didn't get there much (couldn't afford it as a student), but I do remember being there one evening in the Spring of 1985, pre-NFL Draft time, seeing Bruce Smith in there celebrating right after he signed his big contract with the Bills (yes, he signed before the draft). That was too cool!

Being a Ravens fan, I know the Ravens signed him and he didn't make the cut down. He was their top FA signing after the draft, so I'm surprised they didn't at least keep him on the practice squad.
