Calm down. Whit definitely knew about this. There's no doubt about it. He's covering tracks and making sure it's done the right way. Relax fellow Hokie.
See there? There's a couple Phoenix there. And that there's a football.
So when do I get paid?

# | Something (An orange chrome helmet) is going to be revealed soon I prefer to think of them as the "New kids shaking up the ACC"-era unis.
Jeez C....help me Lord! This is not going away just caught up with it on today's national news sheet.
I did not read the entire thread because it is from here to the moon and back but you are telling me that the football office executed this and the fing AD was unaware? FT Frank. It is not on the same level but remember Penn ST? The fact that the FB program institutes a policy and the AD is unaware. That sucks the bag from both ends.
Where does Bud get off speaking on policy that is not approved at the highest level. You don't think this will come up Monday night on national TV? I figure 5 minutes total will be donated to it.
"Dadi is looking tired"
" Yeah he was called for a flagrent foul and could not afford his mattress."
So all the photos in the picture seems to be the bottom of the photo and if so we are only going to be seeing (only) the helmet. I am rooting for something with Hokie Stone in it!
And I love everything pumpkin!! Just not dressed as one...

# | Illinois head coach Tim Beckman fired for forcing players to play through injury I guess the following had nothing to do with that:
The school said Beckman, who went 12-25 -- and 4-20 in Big Ten play -- in three seasons at Illinois, will not receive the $3.1 million remaining on the final two years of his five-year contract.
It's starting to show up on Twitter, including the verified (gasp!!) Hokie football page tweeting this

# | Report: Cincinnati's Tommy Tuberville may withhold money from players (Sports Illustrated) I could be wrong but I think the issue is that they can't do a lot of that stuff because of coaches being accused of abusing the players. Also I'm pretty sure the NCAA limits the amount of time the players can spend on football activities.
Assuming all of the above is correct, how else are you suppose to instill discipline? There's a really easy way to hang on to your cash, follow the rules.
Stay tuned tomorrow for more of the puzzle!
Seriously, though, I hope it's something new or at least a different combination that our usual unis.

# | Report: Cincinnati's Tommy Tuberville may withhold money from players (Sports Illustrated) There are fines in lots of aspects of life, which doesn't make the person who owes them an employee.
If you don't take your library books back on time, you don't work for the library.
If you get a traffic ticket, you might get fined. And they don't care if you're on scholarship or not.
There's a nice use of the logo every year, next to the VT logo and a score for the football game.
Yea, seriously lol
this ^ carbon fiber helmet preview
lol at the big reveal in photo 3...
I don't know about "growing legs". This is sort of a report the story, and not much more to say about it, since Whit was pretty clear that any related practice was discontinued and won't be going forward into the first year of stipends.
Here is the 3rd and final picture of the night...
Seems like it is gonna be some kind of reveal with the way they're phrasing the caption. I say this will caution, as I may be completely wrong on that front.
This is their entire home page for Instagram to give you a view of the full picture so far

# | Illinois head coach Tim Beckman fired for forcing players to play through injury Hey Mike I need a favor. We are this deep in the media right now. I need you to fire your football coach and get the media over there, ok.
You need me to do WHAT!?
Here's one I bet not many have seen: Hermoine if she had been a pure blood Slytherin...
good times were had by all
except for whoever decided to play EVERY SINGLE HARRY POTTER MOVE IN A ROW! (On the trumpet bus) To this day I still cant watch Harry Potter and I still want to throttle the one who killed my love of that series...

# | Collin Carroll discusses how much cash athletes were pocketing in old scholarship system The debate has never been about "how much are athletes benefiting from the football program". It's been about "how much SHOULD athletes benefit from the football program".
Rehash...."Upset of Duke"...the wife is trying to get me out of the fetal position. Like what Hokie H is saying.
Because the visitors we've had here have been awesome. I want to spread the joy.
