I think that any chance for these kids to get to travel to a bowl game and play teams they would otherwise never play is a good thing. We're going to a crappy bowl this year that will mostly only be watched by VT and Tulsa fans, it will have horrible ratings, and yet it is definitely not a bad thing. As long as people are willing to have a bowl and a network is willing to show it, keep playing bowl games.
Where does the money come from, ultimately? Selling tickets. TV revenue. Those would probably be the top 2. I think continually adding bowls results in watering down the product. There has to be a threshold. Yes, bowls keep being added because there is money to be made there but at some point you're going to get diminishing returns. There are only so many CFB fans and they can only attend/watch so many games. Eventually, you're going to start adding bowls that can't get enough ticket sales or draw a large enough TV market to make money. I love college football. I love watching college football. I love that my Hokies get an opportunity for more practice and one more game that I get to watch this year. Those are all positives. BUT, I'm not going to be able to watch 40 different games over a 2 week span (or however long bowls last). It's just not possible. And, since we've been to 23 straight bowls and we're going to a pretty unspectacular bowl this year because we've had a pretty unspectacular season I'm not motivated to attend the game. I'll be watching from home. I'll watch our game, the playoff games, and the other games for teams that just missed the playoff. That's probably just about it. As a CFB fan, there are a whole bunch of games that I'm just not going to watch....The shear volume of games to watch really devalues each one. If I'm completely bored and there is a game on I might turn it on to watch in the background but frankly I'm more likely to find something better to do with my time.
At least we ran 500 jet sweeps that work just as well as screen passes. /s
Of a coaching position at Tech, yes. I heard, #sauces, that he was offered a position in admin if needed.
But in all honesty, I hope he gets a G5 job, I think he could really be the next Dabo. Hire some good coordinators and just be in charge of ST and the big decisions.
Like I said in the other thread, it's Galen Scott and he will be taking LB's as a whole. Nothing official yet but that is what is being discussed. Source: 247sports
I like keeping Burden on staff. Looks like Fuente is focusing on the 757.
This would be the least of my worries. I don't see why people get bent out of shape that lower schools get to play in far off places in an exhibition game that you aren't watching anyway.
I'm more worried about not having enough conference games. Too many years between divisions playing. Increase conference games by at least one, preferably two.
Playing FCS teams. It's a scrimmage, let's stop acting like its a real game. Just invite an FCS team in for an August scrimmage and let the public watch. Take up a collection for a charity and pay the FCS team $100K for their trouble. The p5 schools can afford that easily.
If you do those things and make 7-5 the minimum bowl record, I would be fine with it. To just raise the bowl record minimum is really making a move I don't care that much about.
Edit: I'm not exactly sure what to propose, but I guess I would prefer all the P5 schools end up in 7 team divisions and split those divisions into their own mini-conferences. Have the ACC-Coastal play 6 games against each other, 3 games against two other rotating divisions. Then you play the championship games of each major conference. It's more like the NFL model. You lose some cross conference rivalry games but you gain 12 interesting games and more diversity than we have now.
Didn't Brody Croyle win a game or two as starter for whomever he went to?
RBs caught 28 passes under Fuente this year and 20 last year.
We had 28 this year and 36 last year.
It's Galen, they are combining Whips/LB's most likely and giving him the entire LB position. Source: 247
How is there any benefit to this rule?
It promotes ACC ADs to schedule more cupcakes in the regular season, creates a disincentive to schedule premier OOC match-ups.
It reduces the number of ACC teams in bowl games, thus less money and exposure for the ACC. It reduces the number of ACC teams with December practice to prepare for the next season.
Can anyone explain a benefit of this scenario? Besides, I don't like the Shreveport Independence Bowl or any bowl with less-than-premier match-ups. And what's the harm of less-than-premier match-ups? Is the sanctity of the game ruined?
Don't tell this guy, he thinks he's the Mike for the next 2 years:
It's Justin time for the big recruiting weekend too!
Or how, at GT, QBs and FBs both become TBs? (The same guy coaches both positions.)

# | Report: Zohn Burden Retained as Virginia Tech's Running Backs Coach Looks like we're about to be throwing to the RBs quite a bit
ACC should vote to go to 9 game and none of this current madness
great points.
I'm more worried about not having enough conference games. Too many years between divisions playing. Increase conference games by at least one, preferably two.
In Fuente's offense, the RB's become WR's and the WR's become RB's. We're probably still adjusting to what we're used to: QB's becoming TE's annd TE's becoming QB's....
Wow yea he's a pretty high 3* and with offers from Harvard and Yale so he must be a pretty smart kid. If he would be willing to move inside he sounds like a prefect fit for Mike to me.

# | Report: Zohn Burden Retained as Virginia Tech's Running Backs Coach So, I guess now in a more typical VT approach, the Running Backs have become the new Beasts of Burden...
Unofficial word is that Galen Scott will be joining.
