# | BUZZKETBALL CENTRAL: Virginia Tech Hokies (13-11, 5-6) UVA Wahoos (19-4, 8-3) at 8 PM ACC Network #Hokies sophomore wing Chris Clarke (foot) appears to be going through warm-ups full speed. Hasn't played since Dec. 22 against St. Joe's.— Mike Barber (@RTD_MikeBarber) February 10, 2016
So thats more good news.
Would this be partially tax deductible?
Last night was my first time ever witnessing his blood pressure spikes from his preworkout mix... man, he was nuts.

# | BUZZKETBALL CENTRAL: Virginia Tech Hokies (13-11, 5-6) UVA Wahoos (19-4, 8-3) at 8 PM ACC Network That looks like Chris Clarke to me. He isn't wasting any time. He still had the boot on for the Clemson game.
**Edit - This was Barber's next tweet.
#Hokies wing Chris Clarke has his boot off his fractured foot and is getting up shots pre-game at #UVA.— Mike Barber (@RTD_MikeBarber) February 9, 2016
Great thread people. Took me back! Great. Maybe again someday!
Can you provide a source that provides football-only numbers for each school? The most recent I've found is Clemson in 2012, with expenditures of about $17M, but (1) that's certainly changed and (2) I don't know how VT compares because I can't find that.

Looks like Chris Clarke is starting to heal up enough to move around in warm-ups. Unless that isn't him. Looks like him to me.
He 100 percent would be.
You mean exit light?
Their overall Athletic department budget isn't particularly relevant only what the football budget is which is substantially more than VT.
Love it! Check out the GT player that starts jumping up and down on the side line when ESM cranks up. Closet Hokie.
Up here in Big Ten country we call then Purdon't
Whoever made that is AWEOMSE
I definitely agree with you along those lines. There is no way Whit would make a change at this point. The attrition and the negative comments I have heard could very well be anecdotal and exceptions to the norm. But, it will be interesting to see if we can maintain that success in the next couple years. I really hope we are able to recruit and develop great swimmers who can keep us as ACC championship contenders!

# | ESPN has Virginia Tech slotted at #4 Toughest Non-Conference Schedule After we go undefeated NC, they'll say the teams we beat were overrated.
This must have been common to a lot of people because i felt the same way
Now that's F'ed up for sure and not in a good way!
I'm sitting here laughing thinking that's F'ed up but In a good way.
Total amount of money and how that money is spent are separate issues. Maybe Clemson is going to haul in a lot more money and put some distance between them and us in overall revenue, but at this point, based on Andy's numbers from the USA Today database, we are on pretty equal ground. None of that is even mentioned in the article you linked, which is just a listing of various individual's salaries and does not show anything to demonstrate they have "considerably more money." So for those who think that suddenly throwing more money at VT is a panacea, that is wrong. Sure, more money gives you more flexibility, but it's not like we're at a disadvantage in terms of cash relative to a team of similar pedigree, in the same conference and geographical region. Clemson is just being more proactive and efficient than we are. We just hired more recruiting support staff, but we're still catching up in the arms race.
It's all about smart management. We're not going to crack the top echelon of programs like Oregon, Texas, ND, etc. any time soon. We have to be smart with our money and punch above our weight class for a little while, or at least keep up with Clemson's model, because clearly they're doing well.
Oh great! I see 7-5 on the way...hope better but not optimistic. Well, that's not true, optimistically I see 14-0. Go Fuente! Uhhh, I mean Go Hokies!!! LOL
Clemson has a bigger support staff, pays their assistants a lot more, and is in the process of building a brand new tens of millions of dollars facility for their football team that has laser tag. They have considerably more money

Thank you for posting this. I have this listed as my favorite Tech moment. It was cool seeing some other greats as well. Anyone else notice a) how well the O-line protected MV7 and b) how quickly they ran the 2 minute offense without spiking the clock? I will be anxious to see how the new offense develops. Thanks for the flashback!
I can't find anything recent. But I think it is a safe bet considering they spend more on assistants, nearly double our recruiting budget, and a larger support staff. Apparently their booster donations are misleading, looks like their overall AD is growing pretty rapidly with their success. http://www.postandcourier.com/article/20150823/PC20/150829752
And if our Football budgets are similar, I'd like to know where the difference is, I can't imagine our travel costs differ much
