Note how I didn't mention physics :)

Though, IIRC, the VT physics program is on the upswing. The big holdup was the lack of a nuclear research program for many years (rumor has it there was some kind of radiation accident back in the 1970s but I don't know if it's true). Without being able to attract faculty to do really cutting edge research, it's been hard to develop the program. I think it's turning around, though, and there is more nuclear research going on. Not my field though, so I only follow it peripherally.

Yeah, don't think for a second that the idea of being a special teams and TE coach at an SEC school carries more promise than a HC position at a good FCS school. If offered, Shane would take it. It would mean he stays in VA, close to Cheryl and Frank (assuming they don't up and move to their lake house), and he'd be familiar with the recruiting territory. Last year, UGA's TE coach made $235k. Shane was just bumped up to $252k last January. I imagine that's about where he will be for UGA considering both TE and ST responsibilities. From what I can tell, Whithers was making ~$325k with several performance bonuses in place. Shane would go if he got the chance.

Rogers? Yes. McMillian? Doubtful. However neither are receivers.

Hey now, some of us Virginians are transplants to Alabama. Also, in the interest of keeping politics off the board...let's just say I'd rather live in Bama than anywhere East and North of Roanoke.

Miss State, I believe

This is the key here. It's not only where you rank among players at your position but what teams need a TE. If the first TE isn't going till day 2 and your sixth best then you need to stay. I mean I remember long ago Frank saying that if players get a draft grade 3rd round or better that they encourage them to pursue that. However, I think that was before the rookie salary cap. But still if your looking at 5th round I would stay and try to improve my game. Even if Fuente uses him differently the NFL scouts know what he can do. I don't think being used differently, unless he never gets the ball, affects his stock that much.

Nope.

Honestly, I'd like to see a slightly modernized version of the uni from the Vick years.

Maybe Stiney & Newsome could reunite (anybody)? In all seriousness I though JMfU was trying to make the jump from FCS to div 1A (kinda like Liberty)???

The touchdown Bucky ran for when he took the direct snap in the independence bowl was the most explosive I have ever seen him.

But he has average hands, does not run the best routes, and can be hesitant with the ball in his hands.

I think a year with Fuente would do him a whole lot of good...

JMU fans are great, the ones they have. The problem is that the Harrisonburg area is predominately Hokie country (perhaps due to the large agriculture industry in the Valley). So those with ties to JMU are die hard JMU but most residents are Hokie, UVA, or even WVU. JMU is very underrated as a school though.

I was accepted to VT in 2002 and put on a wait list for JMU and they ultimately denied me. Funny since JMU was my fall back school
