Not sure Henery VIII would agree, and Calvin definitely didn't predict it.
I always thought Hudson would transfer up, Pierce would transfer down. Hudson visiting Texas seems to verify that he will transfer up. Luckily, PSU is a "transfer down" for VT hoops.......which is something because that wasn't the case only a few months ago.
yeah I seriously doubt we'll beat Tenn. I just hope it isn't embarrassing but I'm acutely aware that it could easily turn into a lopsided affair. They have been building for a few years now and they're going to be a very tough team to beat. Not just in the SEC, but in the whole country. They will probably (and should) be favored to win the East and play for the SEC title.
VT on the other hand is in the midst of a transition to a new coaching staff. New philosophy. New culture. New practice/gameweek structure. The timing just isn't great for us to play this game and come out on top. But those are the cards we've been dealt. Outside of Tenn and ND the rest of our schedule is pretty manageable. I think 8 wins is a reasonable expectation for this team.

# | Virginia Tech Overhauls Hokie Club to Boost Donations, Meet Growing Scholarship Expenses One thing to add- donations could be used to cover a portion of coaching or staff salaries in the future, but only after all of the scholarship costs are covered. Right now, donations aren't even covering scholarship costs.
I hope you are right, figure it might be the Liberty center.
Until the ACC has a new (non-UNC alum) commish VT is going to be stuck with BC as a cross-over. Unfortunately, there just isn't any gettin' out of it
also, if ND joined as a full member they would bring Navy with them. That would be your crossover. ND would probably join the Atlantic since it has "more storied programs" like Clemson and FSU. That would dump Navy into the Coastal.

# | Virginia Tech Overhauls Hokie Club to Boost Donations, Meet Growing Scholarship Expenses Exact same situation here. I didn't realize how low we were compared to the competition. In the last year I got married and bought a house- I don't have a ton of money sitting around. We live in Seattle, won't be making it to many games (if any) in the next year or two. But I just sent in $100 for the first time and I intend to continue going forward.
Which is weird because any time you go to Mike's Grill, there are tons of pictures of him at the front counter when he was a student here. I was under the assumption pretty much everyone orders a burger when they went to Mike's...
Commit incoming Lyle Wolf with the Bat Signal up.

I am guessing Nickeil Alexander-Walker who just officially visited
I wasn't overly excited about the EU=non-canon move, but Disney certainly has placed a focus on holding to what the originals made special. Still hold out hope that some of the great EU characters make it back into the canon, though

# | Justin Fuente Reflects on His First Spring in Blacksburg Trying to Fill Beamer-Sized Shoes Joe, great article! I was over on FootballScoop this AM and saw our awesome site mentioned. It was a pleasant surprise.
Football Scoop
I don't know, but it was good!
I've been asking for those non-defiled versions for years. Sadly, they are quite expensive. Having them finally released en masse is going to be great.

# | Virginia Tech Overhauls Hokie Club to Boost Donations, Meet Growing Scholarship Expenses There may be a budget shortfall because of that, but all the writing indicate that they want to fund all the scholarships from donations and not the athletic budget. The increasing cost of scholarships plus the COA money is why there needs to be more donation $. Whit has been very specific when he talks that coaches salaries are paid from the athletic budget and won't be funded by donations.
more like Anglican Lite
As in "diet Catholic" or "Catholic Lite"?

Way to make the rest of the thread irrelevant better before it even gets started fireman

# | Virginia Tech Overhauls Hokie Club to Boost Donations, Meet Growing Scholarship Expenses I might be lighting a couch fire. But is the reason that we apparently have a budget shortfall is Whit has been spending money like crazy? Buzz has a huge contract and now our new football staff also has a huge contract? We never had a budget shortfall under Weaver.
...Let us pray...
Having gone to an episcopal high school, this is my automatic reply every time.
Yeah. Tennessee is going to be a tough one.
I just looked back at their season last year. They only lost 4 games, and not one of them was by more than 5 points in regulation (they lost in 2OT to Oklahoma)...and they're returning 16 Seniors. I dont know their roster well enough to know how many of them are returning starters, but thats going to be a pretty good team next year.
I wish him the best wherever he lands, I hope we don't play his future team, but if we do, I hope we crush 'em!
As much as people might not like Disney buying things up like this, it has been a great move so far. The Force Awakens was fantastic, and they are planning to release the original trilogy in it's unaltered (and significantly better) original form. So no more weird CGI long mouth alien, kissy lips concert in Jabba's Palace in Return of the Jedi, or stupid looking CGI inserted Jabba in the A New Hope.
See, I thought the ones they released on VHS in the mid 90s (NOT in the theaters) were acceptable and pleasant.
