Dustin Hopkins I believe it was. Last year he was in a kicking duel in New Orleans with our own Shayne Graham.
And I know you're right that it's better to just relax about it, but football is so close I can almost taste it, and this is the closest I can get to rooting for the Hokies haha
I wonder when that poll was done. I would take the finding with a bucket of salt. Hokie fans must have been too busy celebrating the commonwealth cup & military .
Well I for one agree with VTCEE. We really need to get back and talk about the Hokies. And I'm gonna do that right NOW
How in the actual fuck is the '95 Sugar Bowl only 9th? That was a program defining win, boosted us into the national spotlight, and set the foundation for the rest of the Beamer era. I. Call. Shenanigans.
RIP Parks and Rec :(
You're absolutely correct that missing on one "Tino" won't make or break Tech. However, it's the two, three, four, etc... that go elsewhere that will keep Tech from consistently winning games. Unfortunately, that's been the trend.
The classes we signed in 2013-2015 were solid, but given the talent in the state, they should have been at least great. We missed a great opportunity there.
More than any other position, QB is the difference maker in college. If Lawson lives up to the hype, he could bolster those last few classes and get the Hokies rolling again. But there's always the chance he's the next Marcus or Ike Whitaker instead of Randall or Tyrod.
Fortunately the 2016 class is small, because Tech doesn't seem to have a lot of traction with elite talent right now. Hopefully the BBQ and camp this weekend swing the momentum some.
FSU and kickers man... Wasn't the guy before Agauyo incredible too?
I really want to just stop following commitments/ de-commitments and just take stock of recruiting classes once they're signed but twitter and Rivals and 247 and ESPN and Hudl and Facebook just makes that way too hard.
FTFY
I agree with most of it except Cincy and Clemson.
I wish Cam Phillips was as good a recruiter as Greg Stroman. Hokienation needs more of those Demartha HS studs.
Yeah, be happy that it happened. Be happy this happened also
That's a great story. But I have to ask...
While at lunch, and bearing in mind that this was the likely late 70's, early 80's, did
you ever consider becoming the originator of the bitch slap?
Case in Point: That sh*tty College Gameday song by Country Steven Tyler with Weird Hat and Short Guy with Cowboy Hat featuring Country Rapper (to cover the "ethnic" demographic). Those turds should have been flushed years ago. I miss Bubba Sparxxx's intro song.

When I was in HS and college (70s) you could not find a croaker anywhere. Just spot and bluefish. No Rocks and very few cobia.
I have got to get up to the New and hunt the muskies. They have been catching some very good fish up there. Nice smallie. I just found this thread it is great! I wish I had something to report. I have only fished 2 bass tourneys this year. On Buggs and the Chick. Nothing doing but I could tell you what not to do!
Two weeks from this moment I will be in Warroad MN waiting to head up to Lake of the Woods for musky, walleye and SMB. I look forward to this trip every year. I don't know if it is the fishing or the break from the 90 degree weather we have in VA.
He was apparently looking around at some colleges (I've heard Nevada mentioned), but then realized he could just go make money in Germany instead. Can't blame him.
Is that dude really not in the NFL yet? I mean, I know kickers never leave early, but that guy's already a really good NFL kicker.... In college.
Would it likely help our team if he chose us? Sure. Will it make or break the program? Unlikely. College football is full of highly-rated guys who never panned out and kids who came from nowhere to have great careers. The only thing that matters is what's on the field, no use raising one's blood pressure cause of some kid.
I mean, it's the orange effect...
Well, to be fair, anyone that didn't vote for Aguayo is mental.
Hate to say it, but GT's DJ White absolutely deserved votes. Kid is a beast.
Maybe I should have said get off my lawn too, damn oldtimer's...
