And 2011
Our fans are why we went to the Sugar and not someone else
I've got it. Makes Wiles a Straight Otta commonwealth shirt.
Hufflepuff Hermione is a fox.
Fixed that for you.
Think it was in '69, went by bus to the Liberty Bowl as a HT. As far as I recall, all we got was a box lunch and a paid for quick dinner at a diner downtown. I'll admit it though, cooked on a flat grill in a window, that was the absolute best steak I had eaten to that point in life, and still in my top 5 in memory. Didn't stay anywhere, just bussed back home after the game. I believe the upperclassmen let us sleep in next day, but it was so long ago I wouldn't bet on it.
Edit: Frank Beamer was in our defensive backfield for that bowl, his last game at VT, I think, and there was no drinking on the bus, to my knowledge. Can't swear some of the older cadets didn't have a surreptitious sip from a flask, but I don't remember it if they did. We sang dirty songs all the way there, slept like babies all the way home.

# | Collin Carroll discusses how much cash athletes were pocketing in old scholarship system Yep, I was around for all that. Strock was definitely all that. Giles has definitely run with that single wing, though.
I pay you with the currency of the realm. Damn, I've heard of monkeys trying it, but this is a first! Calling that a football though, well, that's downright unAmerican!
I pretty much thought I was the resident old fart. Started VT in '68, turn 65 in two weeks. As for the gifs, there have been several posts that direct you as to how to put them up, but finding them? Haven't a clue. The last time they explained the imgur thing that I remember was on the topic of VT license plates from several weeks back. Look it up and it should explain that part of it. I am sure that sometime today one of the many whizzes on the site will clue you in.
I like it. I've always enjoyed opposing fans coming to Lane, and being welcomed with a beer and good natured jab. I like that they get a good spot to hang out and experience things close to the stadium. I like to think of it as our southernnorthernhospitality; southern enough to be overly polite, but northern enough not to go too ape s... over college football.
Read that headline wrong. Still doesn't say who starter will be. Doesn't mean Miller will be a starter
Jones big frame has me more worried.
Will Virginia Tech do permanent captains this year? Or rotate around most of the seniors and a select few non seniors?
That could be a sign JT is starting the first game.It doesn't really matter OSU has so many weapons that VT better be prepared for all their trick plays whoever is the QB. GO HOKIES!

# | Illinois head coach Tim Beckman fired for forcing players to play through injury They also may take this and go... I would feel a head coach is better to replace than a coordinator this late
If they're 6-6 they will get athletic bowl because of the ND fan pull.
Umm...isn't this exactly what happened to us in 2012?
Hm... I'm guessing that clears things up
Mandel consistently underrates the Hokies
Whit's been in Blacksburg for a year, more than a whole year. I don't buy that he didn't know about this. Looks bad all around.
average pizza chain
Wow, you're generous
Whit probably didn't know they wanted to use COA to pay the fines, but there's absolutely no way Whit didn't know that we were doing something that has been documented since at least 9 years ago. It's allowed by the NCAA as long as it's in the financial aid agreement. Comparing this situation to Penn State is beyond blowing it out of proportion.

# | Illinois head coach Tim Beckman fired for forcing players to play through injury Yes, in November.
No matter what it is, saying you didn't know about it, when you did is a bad time
Like private extramarital affairs in the White House
Okay see, ignoring coaches breaking the law is in no way, shape, or form, following established, documented procedures accepted by the atheletes that punish people for not following the rules they accepted.
You may think the fines are not the right form of punishment, but I seriously hope no one is equating any of this to what happened at PSU.
At least you knows what that word means
so what we need is viewership numbers to estimate how much each person would have to pay to offset the massive penalty tech would get slammed with for broadcasting outside the ACC negotiated deal.
