I'm sad to see him go, but I'm sure he wouldn't do it if he didn't think it was the best thing for himself. It can't be easy to leave his brothers. I wish him nothing but the best and hope he gets to have a stellar senior season (as long as we don't play MD in a bowl).
Two more top 15 teams go down today to Unranked opponents. Including the cousins losing to Texas.
We also learned if you are ranked number 1 you DO NOT want to play in the state of Iowa.

# | Buzzketball Central: Virginia Tech Hokies (12-6, 4-1) at Notre Dame Fighting Irish (12-5, 3-2) 7PM RSN/ESPN3 Agree. It is why it is so hard to win on the road in this conference. Homering is bad reffing, but no escaping it. I hope we can gain enough respect to get our fair share of it, because it is not likely to go away. Would have been a big win, because most times you have overcome sh%t like this to win on the road, but we were never t that much better than them yet.
And don't forget Bill Roth....(sigh).
Good luck, class act
Meantime momma Edmunds can see Terrell the DBU shutdown corner and Tremaine contributing at Backer down here in Blacksburg.
I love the older Who stuff. More creative than musical. Never gets radio play. Listen to pre '66 stuff if you can find it. We always talked about how they sold out for the money after Tommy, But that was an 80's conversation. Perspective.

# | Buzzketball Central: Virginia Tech Hokies (12-6, 4-1) at Notre Dame Fighting Irish (12-5, 3-2) 7PM RSN/ESPN3 Ehhh, calls always go to the home team down the stretch. Besides the Leday block call, it was an acceptably called game. More disappointing was how we didn't push the ball to the rim the last 5 mins as much as we did in the latter first half.
I'm disappointed that shot didn't go in but pleased that this team continues to be legitimate.

# | Buzzketball Central: Virginia Tech Hokies (12-6, 4-1) at Notre Dame Fighting Irish (12-5, 3-2) 7PM RSN/ESPN3 I didn't want to come across as disagreeing.
I think that the impact of the crowd on the refs could be even greater than noted in the study. Since I think that getting caught up in the emotion goes the wrong way sometimes, some of the data referencing a ref feeding off the positives of a home crowd would be marginalized.
The long and the short is that refs have a great impact on the flow of a game; normally in favor of the home team. A do caution that when a ref turns on the home crowd, it does not seem to change for the remainder of the game.
Edit - I do not think the refs hate VT or anything like that, I just think they make lots of mistakes and these mistakes are hard for any fan to deal with after a loss.
Just a fact of life with the new graduate transfer rules. Best wishes to him!
Hard to count Shai or Williams.
We need a RB recruit or depth will be a problem.
Yeah, this is a Trey thing for sure. His brothers are solid contributors who will almost certainly compete for starting jobs this year, zero reason for them to leave to sit out a year.
Travon, Shai, Marshawn, McClease off the top of my head. Not counting Rogers.
I'm in Greensboro area, family in Raleigh. Hard to tell where the lines are in NC. Any idea what what we get in each area?
Eshiben, any update?
..... how bout now?
I was about to chime in with a similar comment in regards to Peoples. With less true fullback responsibilities in Fuente's system, Peoples was bound to work more into the RB rotation. And he has the potential to be a beast. Didn't he break off a long (70+ yard) TD run in a scrimmage last spring?

# | Buzzketball Central: Virginia Tech Hokies (12-6, 4-1) at Notre Dame Fighting Irish (12-5, 3-2) 7PM RSN/ESPN3 Agreed with all the comments about the complete gift ND received from the officials in the 2nd half. But, it's not just in the ACC, I'm watching my first alma mater, Marquette, and the Big East officials are missing all kinds of crap and now they just gave the game to Depaul on a BS call under the hoop. NCAA officials need to be called out big time.

# | Buzzketball Central: Virginia Tech Hokies (12-6, 4-1) at Notre Dame Fighting Irish (12-5, 3-2) 7PM RSN/ESPN3 Lot of close games this year. Next year, gotta learn how to stretch these close games out.

# | Buzzketball Central: Virginia Tech Hokies (12-6, 4-1) at Notre Dame Fighting Irish (12-5, 3-2) 7PM RSN/ESPN3 Me too, good look.
On the thread about this someone pointed out his dad played there and one of his recruiters out of high school is on the new coaching staff. I agree with awesomeness that would have been him and his brother playing LB side by side in Bud's D

# | Buzzketball Central: Virginia Tech Hokies (12-6, 4-1) at Notre Dame Fighting Irish (12-5, 3-2) 7PM RSN/ESPN3 And go to overtime, on the road, with one post player already fouled out, Henry and LeDay each with four fouls and a general inability to get stops on defense? A three there is your best chance to win. I'd take that shot from Allen, Bibbs or LeDay every time in that situation.

# | Buzzketball Central: Virginia Tech Hokies (12-6, 4-1) at Notre Dame Fighting Irish (12-5, 3-2) 7PM RSN/ESPN3 No kidding. Clearly, Brey pulled a "Coach K" at half time and whined to the refs. They got every call in the 2nd half making it effectively 8 v 5. On the big dunk by ND right after, they clearly set an illegal, moving pick, (body block) on Wilson right in front of the ref and no call, and Jackson got away with several push offs on offense to gain space. I'm so tired of incompetent officials across the NCAA.
All that said, we still had a chance with a near miss at the end. Great effort by the Hokies!
You could choose this heavily modified Hilux instead
