If Arya does that, I think that will end badly for her. Remember what was said to her "faces on someone is like poison".

# | Justin Fuente Reflects on His First Spring in Blacksburg Trying to Fill Beamer-Sized Shoes Any first opponent will do. Give me Liberty or give me Ohio State? That is the question and we'll see whether tis better to sling footballs or run them.

# | Justin Fuente Reflects on His First Spring in Blacksburg Trying to Fill Beamer-Sized Shoes Which is ridiculous. We're 11th in the ACC in annual giving despite having one of the larger student bodies. We wonder why VT has never won a national title in any varsity team sport, it starts with our fans thinking their role behind and ends with purchasing football tickets.
This looks better but kinda plain, it's hard to figure out who the white team is.
But if that maroon uni had an orange number, I think it would look sicker than sick. I've wanted to see a uniform like the one on the left with an orange number for who knows how long.
This was one of my initial reactions, too. It looks like we went purple instead of maroon. I'd have to see it live to be sure but it seems like it isn't quite maroon anymore, and the orange feels way too bright instead of...you know...burnt. We should be closer to Texas than Tennessee with our orange.

# | Justin Fuente Reflects on His First Spring in Blacksburg Trying to Fill Beamer-Sized Shoes Alex, you were up early posting this piece. Thanks for the info.
Like most Hokie fans, I'm wishing Fuente and staff the best of luck. My feeling is that we fans must temper our expectations to some degree. The magic ten wins every year could be a pipe dream. I want to be wrong. But, will we ever be relevant again, in the Coastal, the ACC, nationally? The competition such as Miami and North Carolina are off to good starts and at times seem coated with Teflon. The road ahead for our staff and team will be filled with pot holes and obstacles. Nobody's going to give us anything. So how do we make ourselves more inviting to players without huge coffers, bagmen, a prime location, and the reputation of a team that just hasn't been able to get over the hump? I hope Fuente and Tech fill in the blanks. We all want to roll again.

# | Justin Fuente Reflects on His First Spring in Blacksburg Trying to Fill Beamer-Sized Shoes Based upon reactions to new Hokie Club plan I don't see it getting better.
No one likes to pay taxes, but everyone loves sidewalks when they need to walk along a busy road.
I hope the time was spent planning and testing the perfect margarita recipe. I get the sense that these uniforms are going to be short lived and almost a transition set. Seems like the "rebranding" didn't finish before the uniform design deadline. I am willing to be next year we will see a few more modifications.
Oh man, I like the measurements on Asiedu. Looks like he could add 20 lbs and still play lean. I especially like that the picture of him was taken in the Beamer Barn.
What position would Gaddy play? 6'5" 280 lbs TE? Not in Fuente's system. I know its a common joke, but with his size and if he has the athleticism to play TE at the high school level, he has OL written all over him.
Who is responsible for the resurgence in the Kid 'n Play high top fade?
Jerods accent cracks me up. Seems like a pretty level headed kid though, he's got that going for him.

# | Justin Fuente Reflects on His First Spring in Blacksburg Trying to Fill Beamer-Sized Shoes I believe that everything is in place to start making us relevant again. As we have seen and CJF has iterated and reiterated, it's not gonna happen overnight. What needed to initiate the return to relevancy initially has occurred. He's built a top-notch staff, he's gotten the players to buy in, starting with the total acceptance of the senior players. He's made a super introduction of himself, his staff and his style of football thru the coach's clinics and made inroads toward recruiting the players needed for his style. And now that the camps are back in, he's not gonna settle for what everybody is doing. Sure, how can you find the needles in the haystack when there's eleventy-seven haystacks and only a dozen or two needles you're trying to recruit. Limit the advertising and try for selectively attracting the cream of the player crop. I won't be disappointed if it takes a couple of years to see fruitful results but my excitement of what's to come is increasing daily. I can't think of one negative so far in anything related to his hire.
I don't think the Crapitals can win this series
Because GM's are butt
I love solid white for away or at least alternate away, think 2006 WF destruction or 2007 Virginia game. We look cool as hell.
Edit: Virgil's hell

# | Virginia Tech Overhauls Hokie Club to Boost Donations, Meet Growing Scholarship Expenses Similar predicament here. I have had season tickets the last 6 years now. I have moved from East stands to West without being part of HC. Last year, I joined during the 110% campaign. The demand simply is not there to justify the hefty price hikes. The reseating opportunities are proof.
I don't see it being more than a game. It's 100% different than the orpik hit and wouldn't even be talked about for a suspension if it wasn't the very next game after his suspension. One game should be the high bar for a hit like letangs.
Then again, my glasses are different colors than yours
Letang better get a 2 game suspension.... 1 at the very least
Disappointing... Caps played better than Pitt last night but just couldn't finish. Need Backstrom to make some magic, he hasn't shown up yet this series.
