Also also relevant, Bud never had a chance:
Babcock said he told Foster up front that he wouldn't be a candidate and that he respected him too much to give him a token interview.— Kyle Bailey (@TheClubhouseKB) November 30, 2015
Southern Cal decides to make a yawn instead of a splash.
I'm getting the magazine, and I got a letter asking for more money, so they have my address
Unfortunately, it's out of the Hokie Club's hands. The Banner system that the entire university uses is outdated and a gigantic PITA to use, and hopefully will be phased out in the next few years. However, until that happens, online recurring payments are just too much for the system to handle, for whatever reason. Believe me, HC officials are aware of it and just as pissed about its existence as the rest of us. The instant a change is possible, it will be done.
TL,DR: University politics and outdated systems suck. When the HC can change it, they will.
People talk out of their ass too much.
Says the Warthog.
thanks!
I don't think the fans decided to fire Richt...
I'm back in! This morning's press conference reminded me I needed to renew (and buy back my consecutive years that I had missed). Yes, you heard that right, for those who may have dropped out for various reasons, you CAN buy back your missed years rather than starting all over. Give your rep or the club a call to discuss, but it was very easy, and I'm glad to be back in!
Go Hokies!
If you look at Pete Moris' personal account - it is the exact same format as the VT_Football account. Exact. Excessive hashtags, not well thought out, some errors, skipping lines to make sure the tweet is noticed, etc. The new format is because of Pete Moris.
They really fucked up on that. Orgeron could have been a really good permanent hire for them
I think the Georgia fans screwed themselves over on this one trying to get rid of a coach that was 9-3, if they get a new coach it will take 4 seasons of somewhat poor playing before any coach can get a team to work the way it is supposed to

# | Report: Memphis Assistants Holman Wiggins and James Shibest to Join Justin Fuente at Virginia Tech I like that Fuente is offensive minded but he's taking his "how to run a program" methodology directly from a defensive minded coach. That is a beautiful combination, IMO. I think defensive minded coaches are extremely successful as head coaches (Saban, Beamer) but offense is supremely important in CFB these days. I think Fuente gives us the best of both worlds and that's awesome. He understands defense and it's importance to the game of football but he's an offensive tactician with a proven track record. I'm enamored by this guy. I think VT just put themselves in a really good position to get back to, and potentially exceed, the glory years of Frank's Heyday

# | Justin Fuente Discusses Decision to Leave Memphis for Virginia Tech Also relevant:
Bud Foster says he stayed because of family, roots, etc. "but most importantly I want to win championships." Says Fuente can help do that.— Kyle Bailey (@TheClubhouseKB) November 30, 2015
Make sure your info is correct, I received a very nice car magnet and several window stickers when I joined last year and received another package this year with another magnet and some more stickers and a thank you letter.
Our overall marketing is so much better under Whit. The difference that he's made is very visible. Tons more outreach, spreading the base and hitting multiple platforms. I used to roll my eyes anytime Weaver mentioned "our marketing experts..." because what invariably followed was just lame. Those same marketing experts were used as the excuse for not painting the field for years, missing out on inherent brand visibility for the school from broadcasts, along with numerous other "points left on the field." They were little things and obviously the program survived but I find Whit's energy and action to seize the day very refreshing. Twitter skews young and less formal, it also drives eyeballs to content. Whether that's a news story or a potential Hokie checking out our university or a recruit looking at our program. I am 38 and don't mind it a bit - I've never been evenly slightly embarrassed about anything on VT's twitterings.
I feel confident this is how Fuente will operate (especially after hearing him in the presser). Shane may already have an offer and so the lack of discussion on him means little. We will see.
yet we are not an efficient passing team even with some of the weapons on hand? Ford already transferred, durkin got passed by DL and DL was the only one i'd consider a "highly touted" QB. The rest were mid-range 3 star guys. None of these "highly touted" guys could beat out brewer last year, awful statistically, or motley this year when brewer went down.
Stripped of GM position. Given one more year since he had two 10 win seasons before this one, then given the boot after next year. I predict an blue blood school will be calling his name after next year.....like Auburn (just a guess probably not)

Take it your not a fan of Pete Morris? Could you explain why?
