# | Hokies Sift Through Stable of Now-Healthy Running Backs, Develop Continuity on the Offensive Line It makes you feel good about the running backs, looking very much forward to seeing Travon this year!
And they aren't! ...because my Cowboys are!
...pls Romo...

# | Hokies Sift Through Stable of Now-Healthy Running Backs, Develop Continuity on the Offensive Line I'll also add that it's interesting to hear the younger Beamers response to McMillians redshirt last year. For him to say that Travon would have likely been the starter is saying a lot. If you read between the lines to all the talk surrounding #34, I'd say he will be a superb player for us. Not only are we stocked at RB for the next couple of years, we are LOADED. I'm really excited to see where this "train" takes us.

# | Hokies Sift Through Stable of Now-Healthy Running Backs, Develop Continuity on the Offensive Line We signal everything because we're no-huddle
Really? Since when? I mean maybe from time to time, or maybe just because we aren't a hurry-up, no-huddle then I don't really notice it, but I would not have called us a no-huddle team.

# | Hokies Use Preseason Practice to Retool the Secondary in the Wake of CJ Reavis' Dismissal watch trey's TD run against AM in the spring game and then add another 40 lbs to the ball carrier...
Okay, so now that this is at 250 comments, I feel justified in saying who the hell cares what our opponents are saying? They have every right to be confident. They won the National Championship. We have every right to be confident as well. We return most of the players that beat them last year. In the end, it's the frickin' offseason and we're all getting way too anxious for the season to start. We're both 0-0. Everybody is the preseason champion. In the end, fans can think whatever they want. They can make excuses or talk a big game, but it all has no bearing on the outcome. If someone else saying that their team will win bothers you, you probably shouldn't talk to other teams fans or go to their website. It makes us look bad when threads are created saying "11Warriors is saying mean things about us." I can't imagine they are doing the same.
agree. his teams have never had a problem scoring and he's the common factor. you think about leaving willingham behind at Utah where he's been a great coach, McEwlwain (sp?) becoming somewhat successful, Heremanns (sp?) becoming a HC, and Urban just keeps on winning and fielding heisman quality players. it's not a coincidence, IMO.
I would say, for the most part, any of the anOSU fans who have visited from 11W have been "the exception." The ones who haven't have been down-voted into oblivion

# | Hokies Sift Through Stable of Now-Healthy Running Backs, Develop Continuity on the Offensive Line I'm really hoping Nijman becomes a beast and his move is a blessing in disguise. He was pretty bummed last year and I hope he ends up walking across the stage of the NFL draft in a few years.
It was pretty interesting to read that in hindsight Trevon should have been the starter last year. I believe in Trey and JCC, but damn.
Me too, but a lot of times the other Hokie just nods.

# | Hokies Sift Through Stable of Now-Healthy Running Backs, Develop Continuity on the Offensive Line I'll be honest; I've always been a little critical of Edmunds at TB. I admittingly wanted him switched back to LB, a spot that I felt would have been more natural. But, after seeing the praise from the Beamer clan, seeing that he's bulked up, and his tenacious attitude to get healthy, I'm very hopeful he can be the everydown back we need to compliment JC. He had some great performances in 13, but I always felt he ran a little high and didn't have a natural stride. I love the guys character and "team first" attitude. I'm really pulling for him and his stable-mates. This group of TB's is a very likable bunch; JC, Edmunds and McMillian are all humble, solid guys. I don't know that I have ever wanted success more at this position than now...I really hope they develop the continuity and consistency...all 3 top candidates are more than deserving.
They are also the guys who, at the first hint, start criticizing and wanting coaches fired when perfection is not attained.
I have no idea what you're talking about......

# | Hokies Use Preseason Practice to Retool the Secondary in the Wake of CJ Reavis' Dismissal Only if they are using poor tackling form.
For the record, you sir are the exception to the 11W guys I was referring to. I appreciate playful banter between opposing fans and you have exhibited a level headedness that was lacking in the thread I read. Thanks for the visit and good luck to you this season.

# | Hokies Use Preseason Practice to Retool the Secondary in the Wake of CJ Reavis' Dismissal not that slow for a 250 pounder IMO. Dustin's pickle probably weighs a few pounds less.
When I'm walking through an airport and I see someone with Hokie gear, it's an automatic, "Go Hokies!"
eh..it's the offseason..people are getting bored and over-sensitive. The closer the game gets the higher tensions are going to be. When Sept 8th rolls around TKP and 11W are going to be the two worst places on the whole internet for fans of whichever team ends up losing.

# | Hokies Use Preseason Practice to Retool the Secondary in the Wake of CJ Reavis' Dismissal Cardale Jones ran a 4.8 - 4.9s 40 yard dash. My butt ran a 4.7
Hence - slower than butt.
Somehow this reminds me of Joel's top ten series, and a few misses by a certain defense I'm a fan of...

# | "Michael Jordan welcomes Michigan as first ever Jordan Brand football client" Article Maybe they sign Missagain to work out the kinks. First gen football shoes are not going to be A+'s. Once they get them tight, then UNC signs up. Maybe.
And jumping to football isn't much different than this:
sounds more like Thorpe can't catch a break...jeez..even though he's a wahoo it's hard not to feel kinda bad for the guy
In this case, apparently they *did* catch a break.
Tough news for TJ. Never like to see a kid go down with an injury. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Looks like he'll be fine in time to face off against the Hokies.
A few points:
- I don't really care what OSU fans think. They're confident in their team and they should be. They had one hell of a run last year and were by far the best team at the end of the season (TCU and Baylor fans probably have something to say).
- Fans of other teams are going to make assumptions on this year based on last year's performance. It is completely natural when you don't follow a team. I think VT will be a much different and better team this year. More experience across the entire offense and a defense with a ton of experience and talent. The VT team that beat OSU last year was not the same team after. Brewer played injured, we had serious injury issues at RB, and the freshman WRs made some freshman mistakes.
- Personally, I love it when the opposition underestimates us. Most OSU fans are underestimating us and I hope the guys that actually play the game are doing the same. VT plays so much better as an underdog.
- OSU deserve to be favorites for the game. Defending National Champions with a ton of talent. The odds of them winning against us are pretty good, but that's why the game is played. We were overlooked last year and we all know what happened.
- It is going to be one HELL of an atmosphere and I cannot wait to be a part of it.

# | Hokies Use Preseason Practice to Retool the Secondary in the Wake of CJ Reavis' Dismissal I'm not so convinced that he does know. Maybe he does. I wouldn't be surprised if he did but I also wouldn't be surprised if he didn't. The Student Conduct (board? panel? whatever they're called) probably doesn't have to disclose any information to the AD. If they're not allowed to share that info with anyone without the Subject's consent then it's entirely possible that Whit doesn't know all of the details. This is all speculation, of course. I'm just not ready to say that he definitely does or definitely doesn't know anything.
My feeling all along has been that we, the fans, will never truly know the full story. Sure, someone here or there will have a #source close to the issue who may get certain information related to the events leading up to Reavis' dismissal but I just wouldn't trust anything that isn't an official statement by CJ, his lawyer, or the School. We can hem and haw all day long about what might have occurred and who might know the full story but at the end of the day Reavis is off the team and that's that. I wish him the best where ever he ends up. I don't think there's much more that can be said about it at this point.
yeah it's unfortunate that he's just as good at breaking as he is at catching
