"put 'em in your mouth"
Really curious to see whether it's Joel Caleb or Drew Harris that steps up to fill that 4th RB role if we RS Shai and Juice.
/throws invisibility cloak over head and sprints away.
I appreciate that they mention the memorial. Respect.
The strength vs. strength aspect is one that intrigues me about our Labor Day game. It's the classic immovable object vs. the irresistible force thing. Ohio State's offense got it all clicking at the end of the last year. Unfortunately, this isn't the end of last year, but it's reasonable to expect them to be even more potent this year with some returning and added weapons. That said, offenses do not usually come out of the gate hitting on all cylinders. Plus, our OC will be calling his first game. Defenses, on the other hand, are usually way ahead of the offenses early in the year, so I think VT should feel good about this side of the match up. What Buckeye fans are hoping for is a fast start on offense, lots of points, and beating Tech at their strength. What Tech fans are hoping for is that the Buckeyes have a hard time running the ball and completing passes for first downs. Can't wait to see who gets what they want. It might take a qtr or so for those units to feel each other out, but I think the longer the game stays low scoring, advantage Hokies.
But the game could be decided on the sides with question marks: OSU defense and VT offense. Many expect the Ohio State defense to be lights out, but they didn't look good vs. Indiana and scUM at the end of last year, then they blank Wisky, give up 35 to Bama, but hold Oregon to 20. I'm not convinced that they have shown the consistency of a great defense. What they were very good at in the post-season was winning 3rd down. On paper they should be incredible, but another thing they have working against them is having an offense that scores or punts quickly. Tired defenses tend to be leaky. Regardless, Ohio State has plenty to prove on that side of the ball. If Brewer and VT can replicate the performance they had in Ohio Stadium last year, they will be fine. They were able to run the ball well enough, and Brewer made some very timely and crucial throws. But whichever of these two units gets the upper hand could determine the game.
What happened to his ankle?
All you need to do is be a basketball superstar.
Maybe it is because that was my Sophomore year and I'm remembering it too fondly, but were the fans just louder and more a part of the game back then? I mean listen to that, they sound like they are ready to jump onto the field and tear Clemson limb from limb. Good memories.
I'm so conflicted on these two guys. I want them both to redshirt for their health and so we don't have a crowded backfield like 2010, but Marshawn looked good in sprints and Shai should be even closer to full health.
I hope that the staff feels comfortable enough to redshirt both guys.
For the Southpark fans this picture reminds me of Chef's Salty Chocolate... just sayin
I love having pockets on my sleeves, although I am military... actually pockets everywhere seems to be the theme. But I was looking to get this I like it!
I was talking with him about buying a jersey from him. It was like a kick in the chest knowing I had just talked to him a couple weeks before. Can't imagine what a parent has to go through informing Twitter their son has passed away on his own account.
...and two National Championship births in the last 6 years
...and 6 Pac 10/12 Championships since 2000
...and an Heisman award winner
...and top tier athletic facilities.
The film clip is the best!
Thanks for posting that he's on the show. When I looked at the TIVO listing, it's just listed as E:60, with no information available. If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have known.
Not even knowing the circumstances or even anything about the man, I can say this is tragic. Rest in Peace fellow Hokie.
I intercepted a pass meant for DeAngelo Hall in middle school.
That is all
I watched him play for two years before I figured out he played on defense. He scored a lot of TDs.
I wanted to let everyone know that my son, who started this feed, passed away on July 27, his birthday. He loved the Hokies.— Black Uni Campaign (@hokieblackuni) August 8, 2015
Been thinking about this guy a lot...so sad and young. RIP fellow Hokie
I don't anticipate Facyson to be rusty and Reavis looked to have the rover spot locked for a smooth transition. Obviously some uncertainty with Clarks new spot, but there isn't a secondary in the country without any concerns
At one point in time, people said the same thing about expanding the press box
HT here, and i wouldn't mind a metal Tech Triumph. It was always an odd transition, and the sound level never matches.
It would be much better if it happened, surprise or not.
What's the rumor with Payne?
Edit: Nevermind. I saw the tweets. Academics.

Here are a few photos I took of the Cascades last November.
