Was a HT when I came to VT in '97, had been a Kroger for a few years when I graduated in' 02. I'm thinking '99ish was when it switched.

I give Lefty credit for coming into a situation that was not very good from a talent perspective. The man has recruited QB talent and that is amazing for us. I really like how Searels has adjusted to his guys' skill set or so it seems. Man/drive blocking instead of overly complicated zone blocking when the situation warrants.

Lefty is giving it his best shot and that is VT attitude. Let's go!

I've flip flopped on Loeffler a lot since he came here. I've always been quick to point out the things that have hindered him since he came here and I don't think that they're merely "excuses." We all know what it was like in terms of our talent level. Recruiting failures had built up and it appeared that our program, or at least the offense, was sinking faster than the Titanic.

This is the year. He's had two years to recruit people that he wants and teach them how he wants to be taught. There are still a host of unanswered questions (back up WR, back up O-line, etc) but as has been stated before when was the last time we were trying to figure out back ups and not our starters? I don't expect our offense to suddenly be top-25 in every statistical category but improvement needs to be demonstrated. FWIW, I think we'll see it.

I HOPE that we'll see rhythm, cohesiveness, and focus on the offense this year. Not just for football reasons either. Loeffler has looked like death warmed over several times in his two seasons here. You've got a kid at home, man. I know that this is your job and it's very important but nothing, I mean NOTHING, is more important that your family. Hopefully our guys can pull it off for you so you can actually go get some sleep at night, so you can go be a great father. Because THAT, my friends, is what it's all about. Period, end.

Folks there is a simple medical and factual explanation to all of this. Dadi's pinky got scared of his Dadi and retracted into itself (not unlike what happened with Sam Rogers earlier this year).

The type of cast is an ulnar gutter cast and is commonly used for a boxer's fracture. In my job we see it often if people have punched walls. Hopefully he is just working on punching the o-line.

From a student currently living in Collegiate, yes.
Also, since Kroger gives you points to get a few cents off a gallon of gas, its even more incentive to go to the UCB or SM Kroger

I don't speak this in relation to football much, but I do feel it warrants bringing up. I taught high school band for a number of years, before that and now I teach drumlines.
A year of seniors and juniors and life is good and easy, freshman and sophomores.... Good luck sleeping.

I really, really do hope this is the corner for the program

I think both kickers got 3 attempts. Slye went 2-3 while Santamaria went 1-3. Maybe they'll put out some stats and we'll know for sure. Pretty sure it was Stroman in coverage on Ford's long catch and run.

Circa 1999, Harris Teeter and Kroger did a deal where Kroger bought all of the Roanoke/New River Valley HT's and made them Krogers, and Harris Teeter bought all of the North Carolina Triad area Krogers', and turned them into HTs.

Grocery store gerrymandering, if you will.
