My wife got me the camo replica helmet for Valentine's. I want to post a picture, but can't figure out how to do that from the gallery on my phone.
We can put Tim Settle back there for a handoff. He has great short burst speed and physics will be on our side.
While I get what you are saying, I don't see him being better than the backs we have. I would rather give that scholarship to a walk on who has busted his tail for this team.

# | Ben Hilgart Promises a Mix of Fun and Exhaustion While Constructing a New Culture There's an energy about the program that I haven't felt in a long time. I like the Fuente hire more as the weeks go by.

# | Ben Hilgart Promises a Mix of Fun and Exhaustion While Constructing a New Culture I love his energy. Even in text you can see the passion he has for his job and for the players. He seems like someone the players will relate to very well and that will allow him to get the most out of them.
UT coaches panel discussing how serious sexual harassment is, and then this comes out the next day.

# | Ben Hilgart Promises a Mix of Fun and Exhaustion While Constructing a New Culture Indeed, he says that's just the sort of vision Justin Fuente expressed to him a few weeks back when they first met. Though the pair had never worked together before, Hilgart says "from the first moment I ever spoke with him" that he felt Fuente was the kind of coach who put the right kind of value on strength and conditioning.
Now, Hilgart's hoping to become the "primary vehicle of instilling the vision of the head football coach" in each and every athlete on the roster.
I like this notion of being the eyes and ears of your general, and peering into the future. Was it that the previous regime no longer spoke about their vision for the program? This is something that players, recruits, fans and donors can take notice of.
Been a while since I posted stuff coming out of the workshop...

# | Ben Hilgart Promises a Mix of Fun and Exhaustion While Constructing a New Culture I love our new guy's look and attitude. Another great hire For the Hokies. I am in agreement that a change all around the university has been neccesssary and from the looks so far, what has happened could be very successful. Like Bragghokie said eXciting times to be a HOKIE.
Jim Cavanaugh's concern was that Green would eat himself into being a guard, not a running back.

# | Ben Hilgart Promises a Mix of Fun and Exhaustion While Constructing a New Culture "three claps and a Ric Flair"
There are a couple big d-linemen in the 757 for 2017. Hopefully the new staff can reel them in.
Jamie Naughright appears to be obsessed with sex and sexuality. The list of people that she has attacked with sexual claims is astounding.
We all know about the 1996 case by now but Peyton Manning wasn't the only person that she went after. The Associated Press released a report in 1997 outlining a whopping 33 claims made by Naughright (then known as Jamie Whited) against athletes, trainers, coaches and administrators between 1990 and 1996. It seems that almost anyone who came in contact with her in the 90's, assaulted or harassed her in some way, shape, or form.

The original AP story from the original lawsuit, which she settled in 97 for $300,000 the report concluded that in her own reports she participated in the behavior and in some did not report the behavior as offensive,
4 of her complaints had merit.
I'm sorry, for some reason I cannot link to the article from my iPad.

# | Ben Hilgart Promises a Mix of Fun and Exhaustion While Constructing a New Culture Agreed, we have had way too many injuries the last few season to not suspect something was wrong with the way the players were training. no one is that unlucky!

# | Ben Hilgart Promises a Mix of Fun and Exhaustion While Constructing a New Culture Hilgart is one of the most exciting hires for me. I'm excited to see the toughness he builds in this team. I think that is something that we had lost in the S&C department over the past few years. I'm glad the old S&C coach retired with Beamer. I appreciate everything he had done for the Hokies but I think it was his time to move on as well as I think the game and needed environment had passed him by. Love the articles about Hilgart. Exciting times to be a Hokie!!
The player gave an interview NOT a sworn testimony, I wouldn't tell the media that will inform a rabid fan base that I was ratting out a coach and players of said fan base. His sworn testimony has been given that Butch Jones and at least one Tenn player didn't like that he supported someone outside the team.

# | OT: UTenn sued for "Deliberate Indifference" towards Sexual Assault Can you link the "countless stories" that have come out about Jamie Naighright? Would be interested to read those and see where that source material is from and what other dumb lawsuits she has. Specifically if those reporting these claims have ties to UT or not. I would do so but having VPN issues with the great firewall.

LOL, this is funny....3 years later.
Edmunds was never moved to LB, nor was Wright. Moss has stayed a Backer.
Clarke was a solid player at Backer, but McKinnon hasn't really contributed. Motu is at Mike.
One Vandyke had a starcrossed career, the other didn't even get the career part. Shegog looks good.
Self reminder: whatever you think might happen, won't.
