Does anybody know if they have tickets left for the Battle at Bristol?

This is my least favorite VT uniform of all time (not my least favorite helmet, but actual uniform combo). Maybe because it looks exactly like my middle school gym uniform, and the quality is about the same.

I loved the Hokiestone color. But these are the best.

Thursday night games get much better ratings than Friday night games and have been a staple of the Virginia Tech brand over the years.

there has to be some computer science major at VT who could put this together as part of an internship

At home we call them Whittasisms.

Haha, such a great UVA quote. Props for the subtle humor in it.

I agree. My one thing about Cassell would be to get rid of all the current seats and replace them with a little larger more comfortable seat. I'm 5'11 and 230lbs and its cramped when beside other people. We also don't sell the place out now, so why not remove maybe 500 total seats and make it look a little more crowded and comfortable for the fans at the same time.

Look back at the last ten years and see if I'm wrong. If I am, I'll say that I am. Oh and BTW, we're sports fans right? Being superstitious kinda comes with the territory of the fandom.... ;-)

ughhhhh do we have a top 5 recruiting class yet?

I bet Tom Herman would already have the top class in the nation by now /s

Jk jk but in all seriousness, I wouldnt be surprised if it came out Herman has been doing something sketchy in Houston, Im basing this solely on that weird radio show where hes arguing with the radio hosts about how he got Kyle Allen , it was so weird...For reference this article is I think where it started, also there is google, which I may or may not have used after hearing about this on the radio

Right. I wasn't a fan.

While the football-specific talk is very nice, I'd say the most newsworthy item in this interview is Whit revealing that a master facilities plan is on the way.

In short - there's a possibility we could be seeing what a renovated Cassell Coliseum looks like on paper in the near future.

I love our wrestling program. Does anyone know if there might ever be an avenue to make more of those events available for a guy who lives 8 hours from Blacksburg? Is there anything Whit could to get more VT sporting events available to stream on the internet?

Am I the only one who wished we did more with the 2013 Bama grey uniforms?

These?

Because there is any correlation between performance on the field and the uniform the team is wearing...

That was pretty much common knowledge. The Big East entry fees bled us dry -- remember Lew Perkins leaving UConn, going to Kansas and immediately sending the moving truck for Bonnie Henrickson and our entire WBB program because we didn't have the money and he knew it? That was just the tip of the iceberg. Much credit to Jim Weaver and Minnis Ridenour for showing the ACC that our books were in order financially speaking (we weren't pulling a Maryland) so we could get the invite, but we were doing it by holding down expenses very tightly anywhere it couldn't be seen.

The non-revenue sports are definitely getting facility improvements, and that's good (coming back to English Field after 10 years away for the NCAA regional was mind-blowing). I think we need to be realistic, though : we'll have to keep dumping silly cash into the football facilities and recruiting infrastructure arms races, especially with a wave of better coaches coming in to go along with the richer institutions in the Coastal.
