There are 3 plays that come to mind
The long TD pass Motley to Ford in the NCSTU game
The Motu strip and recovery for a TD against BC
The Sam Rogers TD catch from Brewer against OSU
Best non play moment was the group hug of Shane, Bud, and Frank at UVA.
My immediate guesses were that he 1a) has seen Fuente reach out to other recruits and hasn't felt the love yet himself or 1b) wants to play rb in college.
Leg for proper use of "LOLUVA" in a sentence.
On a side note, thanks for all your input on this topic as I've enjoyed reading your comments. Premium seats are a must and I think the money generated from them will more than offset losing some seats. If the premium seats are in the corner or upper rim, then Tech would be losing revenue on $15 tickets. I think Tech can afford that trade off. I also think Cassell will look better attended on TV if you have less seats because it will move folks into more concentrated areas. Realistically, Tech won't be selling out every home game with a 10k capacity venue so why not try to find other revenue streams for those down games. I don't have the money for premium seats, but if my employer, friend, or whoever gave me the opportunity to sit in the premium seats for a game, you'd better believe my butt would be there even if we are playing the Arkansas Pine Bluffs of the world.
Yes, it is frustrating. The student section for the #9 Notre Dame game last year was pitiful because people who won the lottery didn't show up and people who wanted in couldn't get in.

Well that's a kick to the recruiting twig n berries
Good call. We haven't had many of those recently.
I'm guessing Choppin Wood by the JUGGS is right, then. There's zero reason for a defensive recruit to decommit based on the Fuente hire, because unless Cornell was your recruiter, nothing has changed for your playing situation.
Based on Alex's interview from last December, Bud spearheaded his recruitment.
Yes when VT is an 80 year powerhouse it should be able to sellout also. Not to mention Lawernce is less than a half hour from Topeka and only 45 minutes from Kansas City. Plenty of population to support the team for every game. Find a team that hasn't been a powerhouse since the 1940's and isn't within an hour of a million plus people and then we can talk about true comparisons.
"Now this might tickle a little..."
In all seriousness, the technology was pretty awesome. Just a silicone pill with a thermometer and a transmitter. You hold a handheld receiver to the small of the player's back and get an accurate reading of internal core temperature. Then after the natural course of things, the player just LOLUVAs the pill out.
That would make sense too.
It seems like big favorites go down all the time during in bowls. Sometimes it feels like bowl games aren't even part of the same season.
I think it has to do with the position he wants to play.. RB
OLB. Wonder if this is a casualty of Cornell being released.
wonder if we recruited him as lb and he wants to be a rb.. won his Conference POY for offense
What ya'll said.
For real though. The emotion of Frank at the end of the UVA game, Blacksburg the entire OSU game weekend, the emergence of a feature back. All of it.
I give him credit for not playing those players as they were, in my opinion, a liability and simply werent good enough to be on the field. If the running back situation was handled this way, we would have won another game or two this year.
I enjoyed the Purdue game from start to finish. One of the only games this season that was just plain fun to watch.
I'm gonna get the hatin' on started early:
you may think Golden Hurricane is a dumb name for a football team, but it's a huge step up from their previous team name: Golden Shower.
Victor Greene is out:

Wow that has to really limit your options, add in the pay being somewhere around only 1 million.

# | 2016 WR Phillip Patterson Ready for a "Big Old Hug" from Hokies' Justin Fuente After Re-Commitment 
Not sure why but this is the image that image brings to mind! Maybe its a sign he'll do well with this current generation.

If he wanted to play RB it wasn't looking good for him. I mean that is the area that we are stocked at. McMillian, almost got 1000 yards despite not being the primary back for 3 or 4 games. Juice and McKenzie should be healthy and ready to roll.
