# | Report: Suspended Virginia Tech RB Shai McKenzie Expected Back with Hokies in August 
Recent Comments
I had Fox Sports 1 on last night watching the Gold Cup game. Afterwards I just left it on and caught some of the highlights show they did for the day. I in fact found it quite entertaining. It felt a little bit like the old Sportscenter used to, with just sports highlights and some funny one liners

# | Report: Suspended Virginia Tech RB Shai McKenzie Expected Back with Hokies in August Obviously it's the athlete's decision - you can't 'force' someone to have certain representation in a court of law.
I don't think the line "Turk frequently gets their call and their business" necessarily implies that the athlete does/doesn't pay Turk. Maybe they do, but I'm just skeptical as to how all of these kids, many of which, but not all, had an an underprivileged upbringing, are able to afford such a good lawyer.
All I know is here's one of my all-time fave Redskins cheerleaders. Enjoy!
Viewership of SportsCenter, its marquee and high-margin sports-news show, has sagged since September, due in part to the fact that younger consumers are increasingly finding sports news at their fingertips on smartphone apps.
And due in larger part to the fact that it's literally the same show hour after hour. If they didn't swap anchors out every two hours, you could literally see the same clips for six hours straight.
I was sick one day, and left the TV on Sportscenter as I dozed on and off...I couldn't take it. I was hearing the exact same roundtables and interviews all day long.

# | Bitter blog - Safety C.J. Reavis not enrolled at VT, appealing student conduct decision Cheer up guys. Here's something that might help a little
I was just thinking this the other day, since I drive to work when he's on.
Russillo is decent enough, and very knowledgable, but his interest area lies outside of mine. He's a big NBA guy, I can't stand them. Sure, SVP's main thing is golf, but he knows that's got minimum interest to the masses.
Basically, Russillo was a good #2 guy, but without SVP, I dunno. We'll see how it goes when football season gets in full swing.

I will forever miss Michelle Beadle/Colin Cowherd on Sportsnation. I remember trying to get home from classes by 4 just so I could watch it. I know Sportsnation is still on, but it's not the same without that combination.
I agree with what you said, especially the execution part. I'd add as the season progressed and players began executing the coaches had more confidence in giving them the ball so it becomes a cycle of improving performance. The good news for us is that we have a lot of players whom the coaches are much more confident in their ability to make plays than they were this time last year. As a result, I think you'll see us test you a lot more with more variety of plays than last year. The bad news is you have a real good secondary which will make things tough for us. Given we are a power run team first and foremost that is not as much of a limitation as we can use the run to force Foster to make adjustments that give us passing opportunities. With Elliot at RB and Samuel as an H Back and someone at QB we have a pretty good mix of running threats to guard against. If our ground game is successful you'll probably see a 70/30 split of plays with just enough passing to keep your D honest.
That's why I am curious to see how your run D stacks up. I'm not convinced your Bear look will be as successful as last year; not because we played variants of it but because we have more weapons to throw against it and a much more experienced O line and QB.
KB and Tech,
Yeah, I really have no problem with any of that. I agree with it.
It's about match ups and I think VT matches up well with their defense vs. Ohio State's offense. It all starts with stopping QB and RB rush. If you can limit that part of what OSU does, you can deal with their passing game much easier. If it's 3rd and 5, the pass coverage has to hold up. You do those things, and you go a long way toward beating the Bucks. I've seen it done 3 times that way in the past 3 years.
Everyone has talent. The difference between a 3 and a 5 star guy is often an inch of ht. and 15 lbs, plus a bunch a people's opinions about how they project from HS to college. I think the advantage the schools who are always in the top 10 in recruiting have is quality depth - which comes into play later in the season. On Sep 7 both teams should have most of their 1's healthy, so even if Ohio State has a talent advantage, I don't think the margin will be wide enough to be a decisive factor. It'll come down to players making plays - and the VT players sure made enough last year - and theoretically, there was a talent advantage for OSU then too. That's the beautiful thing about football - that the quality of individual and unit play is usually the deciding factor (taking away turnovers and freakish events).

# | Bitter blog - Safety C.J. Reavis not enrolled at VT, appealing student conduct decision ugh... I trust Torrian and Bud will do their best to get the next man up ready to play, but wow, to think what could have been considering the talent he has and all the pieces we have in place for this year's defense. I hate not being able to see all that collective potential come to fruition...

Andy Bitter wrote that the only other team to have 5 players on the list is Ohio State. I don't know if they have an entire unit (I doubt it) but that should make for an interesting subplot on 9/7

# | Bitter blog - Safety C.J. Reavis not enrolled at VT, appealing student conduct decision One that requires removal from the university, which supersedes anything about the team. But I wonder the same thing. Dismissal from the university, with no prior problems? Or were there problems that we didn't know about? Concerning.

I'm not able to listen to the conversation, but I'd make that 5.5 weapons. Mallek who can get open and catch, and Knowles who with a little tweaking and confidence could hurt some people long.
that's awful generous of you...

# | Bitter blog - Safety C.J. Reavis not enrolled at VT, appealing student conduct decision Now I don't remember the exact quote but Forest Gump said something to the effect, "feces happens." For you really young whippersnappers. 2009 pre-season, Darren Evans goes down. Fork man, that's bad. Rise of Ryan Williams. That's good.

# | The Key Podcast: July 10, 2015 - ESPN Blacksburg Interview with Kevin Weiss Can Cline get back to his playing ability? 26 catches as a freshmen, if he gets back and Hodges stays the same or gets better that is 4 huge weapons catching the ball.

Futures payment. He represents one guy who can only pay a little so when the next guy who can pay or can pay in future says I'll use him.
