This makes me very happy! He was such a standup dude and a standout WR. Wish he had more success in the NFL but I know it's hard to make your mark there.
Depends on the new pitching coach. It's to early too tell. We'll know better by late March early April. Maybe late april
Big album cover vibes
Now I need to see a picture of that.
Hopefully the rumors I have heard will prove to be true and we'll part ways with CMY soon.
Do tell...
Yeah I can ask the PM about the project... last I checked in with him was post pandemic and the base option was well over $100m pre pandemic pricing with his guess being base reno would now be over $200m with the pricing we are seeing now. Pretty much every campus capital project is going to VE now due to cost increases.
I have to admit I slept on the baseball (and softball) program over the winter and completely missed the fact that the season started a week ago (even longer for softball).
Do we have any off-season big news items I need to be aware of? Are we optimistic about the season and potentially making a run at the ACCT and the NCAA Regionals? Or should I set my expectations closer to a .500 mark for the record?
As a Hokie, great to see this.
As a Vikings fan I did not need to see the Bears get better in the off-season.
I definitely Sherlock'd Holmes him during all the discussion around the BOV athletics state of affairs and JMFF hire.
I just plugged him into AI and it told me that he was a literal man made from maroon and orange guitars with oddly shaped hands. The future is now.
Good for him!
We all remember his as being a good WR for the Hokies, but he was also a fantastic kid while he was here. I certainly hope he finds a lot of success on his coaching journey.
Those Duke defenses sucked though, same with the Texas Tech ones. I was surprised when we brought him in.
(Pry's defensive staffs in general besides JC sucked tbh)
I want to say when he was developing guys at Duke, their linebacker and safety play was better, which means he probably got to have them focus on being CB's, not covering other areas of the field.
Gotta invite him to the Chicago Hokies watch parties
and this is why I'm confident that I will be able to let my UT family hear it every Saturday as their secondary gets torched.
i feel better now that i'm not the only one who did that...
I dont understand why you didn't look in his TKP profile which has his Twitter feed from which you get his name. We know he work for VT so you then look him up in the staff directory. You can go further and wonder if his middle name is **** and why does he have a 703 cell number if he previously lived in ****** ******, ** (not VA). Maybe find out he lives off of Tom's creek in a 4 bed 3 bath house bought in 2017, and probably has a sister named ***** who is married.
Do you guys even spreadsheet?
PS probably not a sister i read it wrong with the name, I assumed it was a married name not maiden name, so probably has a wife named *****, I was preoccupied with grin by a baby to sleep who me searching.

# | Hokie Hoops Central: Virginia Tech (17-9) at Miami (20-5) 8pm ACCN Well and I kept hearing how these new transfers were big money and going to raise the floor. The strong start seemed to reinforce that.
We are marginally improved at best.
Are those rumors based on something with actual substance or people just assuming things because of CMY's age and the fact that he's scaled back his recruiting efforts* which sometimes indicates a coach on his way out?
*The other and likely possibility is he is punting on traditional recruiting (something I don't agree with) and focusing solely on portal and international players.
That's sort of my point. I'm not advocating for us keeping all four of those games in 2030 (especially with both Liberty and ODU on that schedule), but logically it would have made sense to give us the 8 game conference schedule that season to avoid having to break or buy out a contract instead of arbitrarily picking a team with zero publicly scheduled non-conference games.
That being said, let's drop the @Liberty game in 2030 as that should be the year that we have five away ACC games. But then again, the ACC schedule will likely change five times before then.
I had turned it off before 12-5 Miami not expecting a repeat of Clemson after FSU happened. I wasn't expecting to find out we led much of the game.
Can they play zone? Sure they can! If not, they shouldn't be on a D1 basketball team.
We're not asking to play zone 100% of the time, a la Boeheim's syracuse teams. But on occasion when the situation calls for it. For example, last night miami ran pick and roll after pick and roll against our man-to-man and kept making lay-ups. Switch to a 2x3 zone and you make them do something different for a few possessions. When donaldson got super hot, change to a box and 1 and try to deny him the ball for a few possessions. Sometimes you need to protect one of your own players from foul trouble. Zone sometimes helps you do that.
Is a zone defense a cure all? No. But sometimes it shakes things up for an opponent. Makes them take time to recognize what's going on. Just disrupts them for a few possessions.
If you keep doing the same things over and over, you are going to get the same results!

# | Hokies Wrestling: Big Weekend in Blacksburg #13 UNC 8pm Friday and #3 Oklahoma St 2pm Sunday This is insane. pic.twitter.com/T6NLTs902L— FightOnState.com (@FightOnState) February 18, 2026
PSU outscored Big 10 opponents 328 - 23 in 8 Duals. They had 46+ in four Duals.
Just straight ridiculous.
Yeah as good as our wrestling team is and the progression of solidly hanging with the like of OkSt...there's still a pretty much unclosable gap between PSU and everyone else. Feels like everyone will be playing for second place for the foreseeable future.
