I agree that DJ White is good, but not better than those three. Also, even if you include White and Canady at UVA, there were 50 votes for other players. I realize a lot of voters go on potential in these preseason lists, but that's pretty hard to rationalize to me. That being said, I lost faith in how the ACC media in these things a while ago, particularly after the 5th or 6th best defense in the ACC last year (FSU) had 7 guys voted all-acc while the best defense in the country (Clemson) only had 4.
I wouldnt even look forward to this announcement, just read here later that he chose the Terps. That feeling sucks
I will add pictures on Sunday. I fished from 5:00AM to 4:00PM on Avalon Pier after driving all night from NOVA. I caught a really nice Spanish Mackerel right at sunrise. Otherwise there plugging bite was non-existsant. I gave up and used a sibiki to catch a handful of pigfish to run on my live bait rig. These certainly were not ideal, but I couldn't even buy a bluefish, menhaden, spot, or threadfin to run on the rig. I saw one big flounder caught, and a guy fishing near the surf caught about a dozen really nice sea mullet (whiting for non-locals) on live sand fleas.
As always happens when I have crap bait, we started to see large pods of cobia following big carpet rays around 11:30am. I got four good shots at keeper fish (20 pounders) with my bucktail and they refused to eat it. It didn't help that 3 or more bucktails came splashing down every time more than one person saw the ray with 3 or 4 big cobia following it. I even had one rush my pigfish, but when he realized it was a crap pigfish and not a tasty morsel, he turned away.
Finally my friend Jake managed an u encumbered shot at a pod of fish off the south side, and he got a 19.6 pounder to eat. I gaffed his fish for him (my first pier gaff shot in several years.) I am glad I didn't screw it up.)
Back to the planks in the AM.
We will probably do without this one as I believe his a Twerp, but I agree with you.
Unfortunately he seems to be trending to Maryland as others have said. Hope that Dredrick Snelson possibly commits this weekend.
Thoughts: this offseason has been incredibly long.
That is all.
Looking at it, the same poll indicated that only 13% of UVA fans disapprove of Mike London's coaching and 37% approve along with 50% who "aren't sure". Also, 42% "aren't sure" if Tony Bennett is doing a good job or not. Some fans. Sounds like a lot of folks identify as Hoo fans but don't bother to watch their teams...
coach, well you might ask. It actually happened after '87 because that's when I moved back to Giles County, but, nah, I guess I just took the free beer, free food, and lunch with a self important icon of the journalistic persuasion as a reason to take a pass on slapping the old guy. I already didn't like him, he already didn't care...I'd kinda forgotten the whole thing until this thread woke the synapse. The idea does have appeal, however, and I would have gotten some serious props with a lot of Hokies who hated him, but I guess I let the team down. Sorry coach, bench me.
Oh boy oh boy oh boy... It's the most wonderful time of the year!!!!!!!!
You're exactly right. However, there's been enough Lawsons, Settles, Fords and Nijmans to keep me relatively certain that we're gonna be alright. I never had high hopes for the 2016 class based on numbers alone, so maybe that's why it's been fairly easy for me to not be too concerned with specific guys. I like who we've got in the fold at WR (admittedly one of the few positions that really classifies as a "need" this year), but there are a couple other guys besides Tino I wouldn't mind having if he chooses MD. Plus, with how crazy his recruitment has been up until now, not sure his commitment in a few days will be it anyways.
Also, there's no possible way any position group recruiting could be as bad as our OL recruiting from '08-'12, so there's hope there.
No doubt there. The 31st would definitely be a better day if we could at least celebrate the closest thing we've got to a Hokie victory. Seems like the offseason just gets longer and longer every year.
Watching a Hokie game in Moab, Utah one Thursday night at a "restaurant/bar" and a guy sitting at the bar looked at my VT hat, looked at the TV, looked at the VT, looked at the TV, then said, "Damn, I didn't know Vermont even had a football team!" I cracked up, explained about VT and our QB Michael Vick, and how it was our year, etc. As I left, he turned to the guy on the other side of him and said, "Vermont. Didn't know they had a team." Oh well.
Hokies + Quarterback + Tampons = Louisville. Right?
Can you email me at Redacted
I think our success from 90s-00s gave a lot of people in the state Hokie fatigue. I went to grade school with a lot of people who would root against Tech just because we were good. Meanwhile I'm like:

In Miami and and Fl the inmates run the asylum. The talent is there. The discipline, teaching, and chemistry is not.
Even the mighty OSU with all their talent, facility, money etc had a losing season recently when their head man resigned and they had to put a temp in place. Continuity in leadership is very important to success. We will miss CFB. I really want to see what Bud can do at the helm. I would double my donation for him to get a shot.
"nothing better then this" I'm not even surprised.
Whenever I see this gif, I wonder why the other player thought that the push at the end was necessary.
I seem to recall he got the crap kicked out of him by anOSU and Purdue. Too lazy to look it up, just remember playback from ESPN (anOSU) and headline in the papes (Purdue).
