# | Hokies' Starting Center Eric Gallo Leans on Current and Former Teammates to Adjust to New Role It would be futile and wrong-headed for him to try and ignore Wang.
(Just when you thought you could forget about Wang for more than 5 seconds...)
Agree to disagree. Glennon would have been sacked at least 10 times in the OSU game last year. Looking forward to seeing what Brewer can do this year.
SET THE TONE!

# | Bitter blog - 'Big baby' Tim Settle a camp curiosity, although role this year might be hard to find That's good stuff! Highly recommend.
Did anyone notice that Alpha Phi was established the same year as Virginia Tech?
Tech doesn't have the elite playmakers that are required to win a national championship, but the staff has done a great job at raising the overall talent level. A couple of years ago, adding an elite playmaker or two probably wouldn't have made too much of a difference because of the overall struggles of the team. Nowadays, if a couple of players emerge from the current roster (and a solid season helps to further improve recruiting) then Tech might be close to competing for a spot in the playoffs.
And there is one true freshman quarterback on the roster who has the potential to be great. If Bucky and Ford and Phillips and Marshawn and Shai and Teller and Gallo and Conte all stick around.... let's just say it's a lot easier to be optimistic about the program now than it was two years ago.
To add, once things fall into place and we do start performing, odds are recruiting will continue to improve.
The storm hitting likely depends on injuries this year as we have talent, just not talent depth at some key spots.

A very strong point. In my experience, if you hire an intern and just cut them loose with little guidance, neither of you will be happy with the results. It takes a major investment in time and energy to employ interns productively.

# | Blacksburg listed as Location on Brad Paisley's Crushin' It World Your Tshirt Agreed. I mean, why couldn't they get Taylor Swift or J-Lo?
Judging by your screen name.....is that you, Brandon?
Crazy to think Fuller won't be on that list (since he's a Junior) and he probably won't be here next year :/
The neat part too is that Bucky can be slid out into a WR role while we still have Malleck and/or Cline in the interior for run blocking purposes. This will keep teams from being able to sell out to the pass just because Bucky slides out. Malleck and Cline are better blockers anyways so I would love to see this type of a setup.
And Dadi
Maddy, Dadi, Marshall, Malleck

# | Hokies' Starting Center Eric Gallo Leans on Current and Former Teammates to Adjust to New Role Hopefully Gallo does not cut off Wang.
Well hell, make that FIVE legit passing targets. I was counting the three tight ends plus Sam. Wasn't even thinking about the tailback pass.
SET THE TONE!

# | Hokies' Starting Center Eric Gallo Leans on Current and Former Teammates to Adjust to New Role It's good to see a pro-Hokie take Gallo under his Wang.
All the players seem to have learned what to talk about and not talk about during interviews. And I'm sure they've been told not to say anything -- good, bad, or indifferent -- about injuries.
I just said college, not specific on bama. If he wants to go there, is be sad but it would be his choice.
And yes beer is always involved in my process.
That's certainly the right soundtrack for this video.

# | Blacksburg listed as Location on Brad Paisley's Crushin' It World Your Tshirt Seriously??????? You forgot to use the sarcasm font. You might want to rethink your own bigotry here just a bit. Last time I checked Charley Pride was not a white racist and country music was not used as the theme music for the KKK. As far as southern culture being inherently backwoods and inhospitable to minorities, you don't sound like you know anything about the South. There is not a friendlier more open and generous community anywhere in this country than you will find in Blacksburg and anyone who has visited (well almost anyone who visits) will attest to that as fact. The South is not perfect by any means but neither is any other part of the country and trying to insinuate the having a country music singer on hand during the biggest football weekend in Va Tech history would somehow hurt our chances with recruits is absurd. Last time I checked, Auburn, Alabama; Clemson, South Carolina; Oxford, Mississippi; College Station, Texas and a host of other backwoods small college towns had not issues getting recruits to come there. (Yes I know Oxford is not really small but the Northern elitists that make arguments similar to that used above would be surprised to know they actually have indoor plumbing in any city in Mississippi.)
Unfortunately, at 20 and in my prime, I still would not have qualified to play in that league. (sigh)

# | Bud Foster, Scot Loeffler, Shane Beamer and Michael Brewer Take the Podium at Tech's Media Day ISTR at first the idea was that whoever worked the hardest in practice on a given day or week would carry the lunchpail. Is that still the tradition or has it changed to a more static symbolic role?

# | Hokies' Starting Center Eric Gallo Leans on Current and Former Teammates to Adjust to New Role Oh man, this Offensive line is going to be terrible because of our subpar coaching, there is no hope.
Nailed it.
Glennon was an ACCCG MVP and never broke the 10 win streak. Until then...Glennon > Brewer
Hey look, nobody said there was going to be a quiz afterwards!!!!
