# | GIFTORY: Frame-by-Frame Highlight Reel of Virginia Tech's 23-20 win over Virginia 
If one of the names he give a Commemorative Turkey isn't Hatin' Ass Spurriurkey, I'll be very disappointed.
When will the bowl matchups be announced?
He said
good, andoccasional.
FTFY
I would consider ECU to be a good team. Since, y'know, we've lost to them twice in a row.
Key words, they'll get after ya.
My eyes! The goggles do nothing...to stop their incessant watering
Wanted to bump this with some "new" information I got yesterday from talking to the Hokie Club and my Hokie Club rep.
The Hokie Club is seeing a small uptick in new members but a noticeable uptick in renewals and upgrades. Something else the Hokie Club would like to see is new chapters opening. If you are a Jokie Hokie Club member or want to be one and live in an area without your own Hokie Club chapter would you consider being a Hokie Club rep? You get priority points for it and help the athletic dept grow. Contact the Hokie Club to get more information about how to start a new chapter.

Good call on the info, Fireman. We already have one in GSO but I'm sure there are plenty of places that need them!
No, Whit said, "I have my priorities for what I think is best for this program and that is to have a strong offense, since recent history is showing that will get you further than a strong defense, and I want someone who has been a head coach." Other schools would likely look at Bud, but Whit said that he wanted fresh blood in the driver's seat. Not always the best barometer, but for instance, #1 in Total Offense this year was Baylor who are 9-2. #1 in Total Defense is Boston College at 3-9, and 0-8 in conference. Bud was considered and in his consideration, he was given the courtesy of being told that he wasn't what Whit wanted early. If somebody posts a job application and you don't meet the qualifications, you aren't slighted if you don't get the job.
The Taco bye weeks have been clutch for me in the playoff run.
Well, I'd hope you've figured out the best happy hour places near your office by then.
The tall one was the mascot while I was in school, and I think it was my final year when they switched to the weird middle one. Thankfully, that didn't last long.
Blazing Saddles = Leg...all day err day.

# | Coach Foster is too invested in Virginia Tech to leave the Hokies. Box 1 really bugs me though. We spent 29 years with a man who was a Special Teams minded coach, and I say that worked out fairly well. Whit has sent a pretty crappy message: "if you're a defensive coach, give up your dream of being a HC".
Maybe the research is overwhelmingly pro-offense. I don't know, I don't have the details. Maybe Will Muschamp ruined it for Bud (what a disaster that was).
I don't hate Whit, and I don't hate his decision to hire Fuente. I just don't understand how Bud wasn't considered. From what it sounds like, Bud's only mistakes were "poor choice of career in defense" and "too busy building a legacy of excellence at his current institution to be a HC at a lesser program".
I don't want to drag the conversation out. Clearly Whit did what he had to do, and did it in the most professional manner possible.
I live in Christiansburg now. Grew up as a Navy Brat, Dad was stationed there off and on for 8 years. We lived in Greenview Knolls and then on the base. I worked at NESEA across the county for a couple summers while at VT. That was a 30+ years ago. Loved the crabbing, eating crabs at Evans, and the fishing.
Even surfed the bay in my back yard on the base a couple times.
He said good, and occasional.
i'm not disagreeing that shorter passes help the plays develop faster and that the faster the play develops the better for it's success. I personally like something similar to Rocket Screens where the WR is running back towards the QB when the ball is thrown and then taking it up field through an ally after making the catch. Those develop quickly and can be effective.
Gah It's times like this when I hate that point values and not head to head match ups determine positions. I SEE YOU TD'S AND TEAM NEEDS A NAME. And I already lost to Gotta Heal Jamaal this season... craaaaaaap!! It'll be me that falls out of the playoffs. Watch.
Mike London Conference or Taco Conference. Downside there is we all lose our Taco byes.
Not to get into this whole discussion that has been had again and again, but no analyst says stars don't matter.

# | GIFTORY: Frame-by-Frame Highlight Reel of Virginia Tech's 23-20 win over Virginia The last .GIF says so, so much.
And I agree with every word of it.
Time for a GIF story, I think!
Coach Fuente sat down this morning, full of confidence.
First things first: get to talkin' to them midwestern boys.
Naturally, they were impressed and immediately accepted the offers.
Of course, LOLUVA was a little miffed that VT's going to be kicking their asses for another twelve years.
So does Blanding suck at tackling cause he went to LOLUVA, or did he go to LOLUVA because he sucks?
