I could get used to this for 3 decades
hooville1 is a notorious shithead over on TheSabre. The fact he actually had something nice to say about one of our players is a story in itself. Considering the things he usually says about Tech, Dadi must be a saint to get this kind of reply.
NCAA stats books include bowl games after 2000 for all season statistics. School records can be viewed however you want to interpret them.
That said, there was a rumor posted on here last week or the week before that the coaches were all told that they would not be retained, except for Bud and Shane. We scoffed at the time because the source of this rumor was the children of the coaches telling their classmates in middle and high school, but considering what we are heading today.....
Would not shock me if everyone had known of this for a while now.
Shameless Hokie that I am, I had to subject myself to the awful (and archaic) format of the sabre after the game, and saw this:

People should judge his last five years........and then find out he fielded a top 3 defense last year...and this year went from being ranked 70th early in the season ans finished 30th
I thought it was only for regular season, not counting bowl games.
Let's see him in a Fighting Gobbler cap.
And after today's game, McMillian is only 39 yards short of 1000 rushing.

# | Tech Squeaks By Virginia 23-20, Earns One Last Dance in Charlottesville for Frank Beamer I think we have a good shot, his biggest concern was coaching stability and it will be much easier to sell him on that aspect now
Can't wait to see what he does with competent offensive coaching and play calling
There's a difference?
If you're talking Fox 5...that's in DC, which isn't a state, and covers a good chunk of Virginia. Definitely the biggest market in Virginia.
I think a T-Shirt with Frank on the team's shoulders holding up the commonwealth cup is in order. TKPers fire up the photoshop and lets get some artwork to the printer.
Man I hope we get him. He would almost assuredly by our biggest get this year.
I really don't know how they keep him, but the financials of firing him present some issues...$2.5 million to not coach...you'd have to think they'd fire him, but I'm wondering if they have an LSU type booster bunch that would pony up the cash to buy him out...the Mike Sanford talk makes sense especially considering he's young enough to where his asking price won't be as high, I hope they don't because honestly, I think he might actually be a good coach, he's at least a good OC.
Preach, him and Phillips have been clutch all year

# | Tech Squeaks By Virginia 23-20, Earns One Last Dance in Charlottesville for Frank Beamer Dickerson is a much more highly touted recruit than Clark. We are also in the running for Merritt but with a brand new staff I can't see landing him over Bama. I think we have a real shot at Dickerson still

# | Reports: Hokies Set to Name Justin Fuente as Next Head Coach, Retain DC Bud Foster He has signed 8 4* in 4 recruiting cycles, who else on our staff averages 2 4* per cycle?
Is Searls worthy?
Looking forward to the breakdown. Such a difference as the game progressed. Supposedly Searels made some in-game changes, and I'd like to know what he did. And why it took so long to do it.
So short answer: I don't know, but I sort of doubt he will be kept on if the new HC has his own guy he trusts.
Hmm.
What better way to pick a coach then to decide which one looks the best in VT gear?

I loved the team effort to get a win today. We are getting close to a 1,000 yard receiver and running back. We should hit both in the bowl game!
Made it out to Niceville for this one. Took my parents to their first Tech basketball game. I'll take an ugly win over a good team anytime. I did notice some glaring issues though:
Seth Allen is a ball hog, and it's always an adventure when the ball is in his hands.
Several times we turned the ball over simply due to guys not knowing where the ball was/ not communicating. That seems like an easy fix, and it needs to be fixed soon.
Chris Clarke is gonna be awesome after some development, but he's very raw right now.
We gotta cut down on the fouls.
Need to find consistent perimeter shooters not named Bibbs.
I was actually going to do this for all the coaches that were rumored to be candidates but my lack of patience prevailed and I didn't. What better way to pick a coach then to decide which one looks the best in VT gear?

If 'singer' has southern draw, it's country. Else, it's pop.
