also factor in that espn people seem to be spending a good amount of time in blacksburg it would make sense that some stuff is coming out.
Were we not an underdog when we played Ohio State last year?
USCw could very well do this exact same thing too.
Literally my dream list right there (Especially that second guy)

the UNC team looks daunting but i still have faith in our Hokies
LOL...you just couldn't help yourself could you?
That's my thinking as well. This is a pretty bold statement to make to not have some information from a reliable source to base it on. I mean when ESPN is calling us the #2 opening out there, to say we're filling it almost immediately after the season is essentially saying we've already got our guy.

This will be a meta post at some point, but it's here in the meantime.

(Only because I can't be there this weekend...)
Plus, the bowl won't be announced until the following Sunday. There's still the championship games to get through on December 5.
The storm troopers, coming to a stadium near you

I think it'll be like Frank's retirement announcement. Officially on Monday, but it'll get out on Sunday.
Dafuq?
We were an underdog against UVa last year?

Yep, remember the Buzz announcement came quickly as well. I think that Whit won't wait very long to announce it to the public.
Ugh thats repulsive, we were a 1.5 home underdog to UVA only last fall?
Does a decade of dominance mean anything to these savage oddsmakers?
You don't need a press conference for a bowl, you generally handle that through a press release, coordinated with the bowl itself.
Grant Noel also had 4 completions to Hokie receivers that day to go with the 4 catches by Miami defenders.
This might imply Rittenberg knows a deal a has been reached, at least unofficially.
This is not a bad idea.
FWIW I prefer Memphis BBQ over Texas and mustard BBQ is just strange. Thanks for nothing Carolina.
Bowl will be announced on Sunday/Monday. Do you hold a PC to discuss the Bowl at the same time as the new HC? I'm not sure how Whit will handle that.
Right in the feels
If we have the agreement in place, unless the coach has a team vying for a title, you make the announcement immediately and get him on the fundraising and recruiting trail for your school. There really is nothing to gain by delaying that announcement.

Were we not an underdog against Maryland when Darren Evans was our RB a few years ago? 2007-2008ish?
