Hard to believe it won't bite us in recruiting. If I was recruiting against VT, I would tell every recruit ever that VT wants to take his (the recruit's) money away. The narrative as it stands is an unfortunate and mostly inaccurate perception that Virginia Tech will have to combat on its end.
This probably fed into the quick squashing, as well as how badly it was getting trashed:

# | OT: The Oregon Duck parodies the Alabama Sorority Recruitment Video You know when everyone is counting down the days to the end of offseason when......
But it least it was a good laugh
That's a shame. Hate to see players get seriously injured.
It sure got a lot of publicity for something that we didn't consider seriously. Hopefully its all forgotten and does not bite us in recruiting.
Lotta reaction to Bud Foster comments, but he's just the first to say it. I wonder how many other coaches are planning the same.— David Hale (@DavidHaleESPN) August 26, 2015
FWIW, the argument coming from some circles is that coaching staffs cannot decide to reduce financial aid. Since the stipend is part of the scholarship, they can't take it away.
It wasn't controled fast enough (http://deadspin.com/asshole-college-football-coach-comes-up-with-new-way...), and not all of the media has received the statement from Babcock.
It has been damage control tonight by VT Athletics. Whit has already said he knew nothing of it and it will be stopped.

And a new knee
7 of us coming from dublin/radford area. Parking @ airport lot around 11am (great tailgating). 12 more days. Can...not..wait. Lane will be crazy as ever.
But the starter in which half, that's the question
Upvoting on premise of sarcasm. Also for the name
Shai not running warm up sprints make a bit of sense to me. He is suspended for the OSU game and coming off the knee surgery. Since he won't be playing, no need to keep pounding it now that camp is over. I would guess he'll go through treatment some days and light work others while suspended. It should keep him fresher if he plays this year.
You guys can homer as hard as you want and still not come across as Bammers. Y'all have too many teeth and too little inbreeding for that.
Be wary.....or weary. I don't know the difference.
lol
I think you mean wary...weary is tired or fatigued...wary is cautious
lets hope he's fully recovered right after another defeat to Tech and go on to win his conference .
Does sitting in a T-6B Texan II zooming around at 240 kts and doing spins and shit count? Cause thats what happened today. Shouldn't you be out evicting tax cheats right now?
So that means 4 of their 5 top options will be out or week 1. Could even see Braxton out there just to have another athlete with Michael Thomas. Suddenly the Bear could be seen quite a bit more then otherwise.
Wish him a speedy recovery, though he undoubtedly will get first class rehab at tOSU.
Time flies when you're having fun, but time shoots by at 10k mph when you're studying for usmle /comlex.
Get first aid right now and read one chapter a week. I'd suggest reading that thing 5 times before starting Uworld and before your intense studying begins. If I could do it again, I'd start my intense studying late January or early February. I ran out of time and started mid March and took boards early June. I did DIT but would not recommend it since it's very broad and usmle is highly detailed. Reddit.com/r/medicalschool is good for advice too but seriously, start reading first aid right now. Feel free to email me if you have any questions

From a friend of mine that follows tOSU as feverishly as I follow VT... Brown is out for season
That is a game I think we could have scored 40+ if tried to run up the score.
In a world where news makes it around the world in seconds this can't be undone in any amount of time. It has defiantly created a narrative VT didnt need in its recruiting.
