I don;t mind after TD's but in the NFL its every play. A defensive guy makes a play he goes over the top, a WR makes a play same deal. Gets old. After a TD, I can see it though.

The old Merton Hanks celebration. I thought I read that he came up with that while watching Sesame Street with his child or something.

If you like Isbell you should check out his last album Southeastern, my favorite by far.
Also the Drive By Truckers was a band he was in and while a little more southern rock oriented than alt country, still some good stuff.
Ryan Bingham is also pretty good, a little more traditional but still alt country.

I thought adding the NFL stipulation made things a little more interesting. I figured almost all VT Football Mt. Rushmore lists would start with Beamer, Smith, and Vick only leaving one spot for everyone to discuss.

It's a shame that McCaffery didn't play for an SEC team, because then maybe he would get the respect that his absolutely ridiculous amazing season deserved

I know nothing about Swasey, but if the the idea of strength and conditioning is to develop athletes and prepare them for games, I wouldn't look too hard at a guy who was fired from a program famous for wasting top talent and being unprepared.

The question made sense to me, but some of the answers lead me to believe not everyone interpreted it as intended .... To state the OP's question a little differently: what 4 Tech players do you believe went on to have the best NFL careers?

Major depression at the 'ol homestead this evening. My Hawkeye bride & I were hoping for a better showing by the boys from Iowa City.

I don't know what I missed, but they panned waaaay the hell out on the Stanford band and I laughed my ass off anyway. It started off with the face of a cowboy and a galloping cow going across the field.

The NFL requirement doesn't make any sense.

If you're doing a Mount Rushmore for Hokie Football, Beamer's head better be up there.

Vick and Smith are obvious. After that I think you could make arguments for and against just about anyone. Arians has two Super Bowls as assistants but outside of that he hasn't put himself on the map like others have. That could change this season though. Graham is a hell of a guy who has stuck it out through a lot but there's a reason he hasn't had the career others have. Duane Brown is steady but doesn't have the name others due since he's a Lineman. Chancellor seems like a nod. So I'd say Vick, Smith, Brown, and Chancellor.
