Beamer said he needs to add strength and lose weight.
Looks like your secondary was getting beat a lot.
Ok, things were getting thin for the comments, so I'll drop this one here...
Oklahoma is looking to expand. Article with pics here
They have an open endzone with stand sort of like our north. They are planning to connect the horseshoe with an upper deck.
Mizzou received a conceptual 5 phase expansion, that would take them from 71,000 to in the neighborhood of 106,000. Concept here, with some good graphics
Utah is studying whether or not to expand, and enclose the horseshoe also. There are pics of the proposal in here.
The one thing that strikes me about all of them, is almost none of the proposed or completed expansions have any sort of cover to them. It either never rains/snows on Saturday (and the occasional Thursday) or the pros just have that much more interest in covering the fans. And in doing so, either mistakenly creating a noise funnel or actaully looking at that factor during the design process.
One of the things that would trigger an expansion would be a demand for tickets. We were down 4% in attendance last year versus prior year. #sources. If VT is truly looking to expand the enrollment in the school, that could be a reason to expand seats. Let's do the north end zone like the south, put good seats at a decent price in there with some boxes, and move the students back to the east side.
And in the day and age of bigger is better, Fed Ex is in the process of removing seats (I know. I know. The product isn't worth the price, thus demand is down...but the 4% down from previous years is a reality for VT too.), And the Chargers are thinking of going smaller...Chargers stadium thoughts
True, at the moment I see Settle as a situational wrecking ball, not an every-down player.

# | Hokies Hype the "Battle at Bristol," Even as the OSU Matchup and an Uncertain Future Loom Unfortunately I can't forget...my bro in law is a WVU fan who married
my sis a Hokie....so we're kinda all looking forward to it...except that it's
at FEDEX field...damn it.
Probably bought the ticket because Geno was doing him a favor coming to the camp. When he felt he got stood up, he wanted his money back.
There's the ticket deposit application but that's it.
I guess I don't understand how they've sold 20k tickets unless that's what they're counting.
You're probably just as qualified as Beamer is for the RB coach positon
*ducks*
In the interest of fairness, here's Bill Clinton ducking a question...

Log into into your Hokie Club account should be a link to buy.
I'm still not too sure how many plays he can give 100% on at 359 lbs - especially if a lot of spread teams don't allow the D to change out players for a breather. I'm sure he'll lose some weight during the football season and this fall practice, but even the ECU NT played ~315 lbs I think, and he wasn't in on EVERY play.
Article says they've already sold 20k tickets.
I'm a Hokie Club member and Season Ticket holder, so I would assume that means I should have the ability to buy them now but I haven't received anything about actually buying tickets.
Geno made how many million last year? Why the heck was Enkempali even buying his ticket?
I'm not big on blaming the venue for results.
The way to change the karma associated with a venue is to win the games.
I'm not sure how it works, either, but I assume they'll send something out.
For away games, I think they just bill the card you put down as a deposit for the rest of the ticket price and mail you the tickets. Given the lead time involved, credit cards may have expired by then.
The Jets continue to be the Jets. Just wow.
Kind of amazed he was just released, were the police contacted for assault charges?
If you put me in charge, I'm red shirting Shai and Marshawn this year.
If they're needed later in the year and they're 110% healthy we can burn it, but I'd rather be cautious. There's a decent amount of depth at RB right now.

I had completely forgotten about that...
different coordinator and philosophy on defense. they are closer to Alabama now then they were back in those years.
I wish I could give a leg to the two guys who built Skipper. That's an awesome tradition, and like most things at Virginia Tech, was due to the determination of the students.

Just like tOSU now uses Curtis Samuel (their back up RB to Zeke Elliott) as their H-back/jet sweep guy now.
Agreed- provided Coleman and McMillian can bring the power element with Trey, I think all three guys give you just about everything you want. I see McKenzie kind of in the same light as Lawson, in that when they have a redshirt year, and you have depth at the position, you make 100% sure they are completely ready before you give them a look (experience for Lawson and the injuries for Shai being my hang up.) If they play tOSU and can run the ball effectively with those three guys, I think Shai gets the shirt, and you consider burning it if there are injuries.
JCC might move to getting significant playing time as a slot receiver.

Getting the feeling that Marshawn will redshirt. Reid has already used his redshirt. The coaches said that McKenzie had looked good earlier this week. It is hard to tell, but I do hope that Shane uses a shorter rotation at the RB spot. We saw how well it worked with JC at the end of last season and with Trey the season prior.

Must be. Nothing is likely to be finalized until 2016, per the timeline given in:
