# | Ben Hilgart Promises a Mix of Fun and Exhaustion While Constructing a New Culture There were two uses of "get after it" in consecutive sentences. One thing's for sure: Hilgart after ya.
Could you explain why the Waverly tornado had no notice.
Couple seasons ago they played Unc and nearly beat them. Last season they didn't perform quite as well.

# | Anyone have any idea what this VT Basketball tweet could mean? What did I miss? Is Drew Harris joining the basketball team?
Boise came first in the short-week-of-death double wammy. Count me as a person overlooking Liberty, Jerrry Falwell can call god on his cellphone and it still won't help.
Something to do with this perhaps?
I can't explain to you why exactly, but I really want him to remain at safety

# | GIFTORY: Frame-by-Frame Highlight Reel of Virginia Tech's 71-56 win over Boston College Also plenty of 3's attempted in the first 10 seconds of the shot clock. The losing, the bombing from three, and that unnecessary behind the back pass, has Jim Christian already lost this team? Are they even listening to him? Is he doing any coaching?

# | GIFTORY: Frame-by-Frame Highlight Reel of Virginia Tech's 71-56 win over Boston College I don't think a rattling basketball rim has ever sounded so beautiful. Thank you for putting in the effort to show us all 23 of BC's failures!

Bitter confirms Payne is back
Also, can confirm CB Shawn Payne is back on the team as a walk-on. Academic issues forced him to miss 2015 season. #Hokies— Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) February 25, 2016
With all due respect to BF, would we be having this discussion if there was experienced and talented depth behind him? I think not. This sounds like the whole eating bacon is bad for you bs! Everything in moderation including poor recruiting. I am not saying BF was a poor recruit only that we are hanging out hat on him because we "think" we have nobody else in the 2 deep as good as BF.
YES!
Torrential rain yesterday late afternoon left everything swamped. No real idea how much rain we got, but it was a serious downpour, probably more than two, two and a half inches in a fairly short time. That's what worried me most when the winds got up later on. We have some really big trees around and with the ground so saturated, I worried something might come down. I had a big limb damage a bit of fence and have talked to some folks that were flooded, but other than the power outages, I think we came out ok here.
Would a stick of dynamite blow this up?
Snow flurries here in Roanoke.

I know a coach can only do but so much, but I would like to see Whit install a proven women's coach and see if we can recruit well enough to get the fannies back in the seats.
You can also listen on the ESPN App (16:50 mark through 31:10 mark). Nothing ground-breaking here, but I always find national media interesting to listen to as they are outside of the program and severe fanhood.
- Open ESPN app
- Click "Listen" icon in the bottom tool bar
- Navigate to "College Football" podcasts
- Select Championship Drive
- Select "A Knoxville Storm" podcast published on 2/25/16
Fuente Interview starts at 16:50 mark and the hosts continuing discussing to the 31:10 minute mark.
Really excited about Fuente and the future with this guy still on board!!
Then they need to go to Taco Bell with Wyatt,
My initial comment was that proper training is preventative. I'm aware that we will never eliminate all knee injuries but I would love to see our guys stay healthier and that is the S&C coach's job. Our OLine is actually great in terms of knee health. Our running backs and corner backs have been hit hard. I'm just hopeful that Hilgart brings something new that starts to reduce the injury rate. I understand it is unlikely.
As far as a "culture of knee injuries" you're right, that may have been hyperbole on my part. Over 50% of all football related injuries are lower extremity injuries. I don't think anyone archives injuries by number and type for every program but if they did, I'd love to look deeper into it.
Two things I have no patience for:
1. People who think they know better than bureaucrats when they actually don't
2. Bureaucrats who can't give you a straight answer to a straight question
