I've really enjoyed all the Ohio State perspective on TKP. Thanks for the great post, BuckeyeVet. Hope you hang around until the game.

# | Blacksburg listed as Location on Brad Paisley's Crushin' It World Your Tshirt I have no idea who Brad Paisley is. But if he's big and the concert is on the drill field I could get into it. Kind of like a Paul Simon in 1991 giving a free one in Central Park. Was there and dug it.
Your analysis is a big reason I am so high on him. I also remember it was reported that he was able to stay stride-for-stride with Bucky in coverage during spring practice. That is not a feat many can do, let alone repeat.
Also, sidenote, I just read his bio on hokiesports, and a few things jumped out at me:
1. He chose Tech because of the engineering program. That's awesome.
2. It's my understanding that, being a freshman, experience/familiarity with Bud's defense is likely his biggest obstacle to seeing a lot of playing time this year. But, I had forgotten he enrolled in January...
It's possible. Bud Foster did it in 2001 and 2004-2006. Ball control offense and limited number of turnovers really help.
That's all I have to say about that...

# | Blacksburg listed as Location on Brad Paisley's Crushin' It World Your Tshirt Where's the concert going to be? Cassell?
You have my permission to...Start Jumping!
He really showed a lot. I saw him fly up and make a hit on a RB for a short gain. On another play he jammed Hodges and ran with him stride for stride in single coverage. He even made a few good breaks while in zone coverage.

# | Blacksburg listed as Location on Brad Paisley's Crushin' It World Your Tshirt Wonder why there...that seems like it would give people the least amount of space. Drillfield or Chicken Hill would work much better
Surprisingly enough, I must say I have really enjoyed reading OSU's perspective on this site. Not only have their comments been insightful, but witty and entertaining. My 2 cents:
1. Question...how can a guy (Braxton) have pain when throwing a football, but yet thinks he'll be able to take direct hits from defenders on the same shoulder? Seems irrational to me.
2. My biggest concern is up the gut vs the VT defense. As French noted, our new starting Rover has me worried (see: cover of Sports Illustrated, September 9, 2013). As does Mike backer...Andrew goes 110% to the hole, only problem is, it often times is the wrong hole. I'm really pulling for these guys, but I'd say the chink in our armor is running right down the dragons throat.
Asking the important questions
I'm curious as well...
Tell me more about these financial hokies
Really impressed with DeShawn McClease. He looked really quick, explosive, always seemed to get something. He's listed at 177 but he plays bigger. Reminded me a little of Duke Johnson.

# | Blacksburg listed as Location on Brad Paisley's Crushin' It World Your Tshirt Haha, if it was brought up here I must've overlooked the thread.
So sell me on it. The previews made it seem fairly conspiracy theory-ish, and anarchist.
Neither of those really hold my attention. Is it bigger than all that?
Also, just because:
And also total intoxication. Go Drinking!
No, there will either be total disappointment or total joy... go Buckeyes!
Mental reps... They'll get after ya

# | Blacksburg listed as Location on Brad Paisley's Crushin' It World Your Tshirt Never read it here, but I did read on r/cfb that this Brad guy was doing a "surprise" concert the day before the game.
Not really sure how much of a surprise that it'll really be at this point, if true.
Given your username/picture paradox, I'd say either way, that someone will be you. And at the same time, either way, that someone will not be you.
From a VT guy:
#1: Throwing a football - hard - is quite different from taking a hit. It's possible that an injury could impact both but it's not irrational to think that the injury could significantly impact one endeavor and have little or no impact on the other.
However it is somewhat irrational to think that a QB can smoothly transition in a period of a few months into a day 1 game ready receiver with plenty of responsibilities other than just catching a ball and then running with it (which will be a challenge in its own right).
#2: Nothing really to add except it's not the gut of the VT defense that worries me per se but the second level being able to do what it supposed to do in the VT defensive scheme to the the level needed to contain the OSU running attack. I'm sure both coaching staffs are heavily reviewing the Miami and BC game film from last year.
