# | Bitter blog - Countdown to the ACC Kickoff, No. 18: Justin Thomas Bud kept him in check pretty well last year, we just kept handing him the
ballgame on our end.
FTFY
That might sell tickets all on its own. Wonder how the raised field would work with a that weight, might have to be a little slimmer than 12,000 lbs

RIP in Mr. Weaver. He did a lot of good things for the school and I have criticized him on a number of things (the hiring of JJ). I wish he would have retired ealier than he did because I always felt that in the later years he was not up to grind of running a major college program. I hate to see someone work so hard to get to retirement and pass shortly after. My condolencess to the family.
The more correct statement would be Bud kept the offense in check pretty well last year, Thomas on the other hand had his best rushing day on the year and made some pretty clutch passes down the stretch.
Condolences to his family and thank you for your contributions to Virginia Tech
Shoot, you don't even know about us Unobtainium Hokies.
Just a huge, devastating loss. He was such a nice guy, the epitome of class, and a true Hokie. He will definitely be missed. RIP Mr. Weaver
I would fully support the Jim Weaver Indoor Practice Facility.

# | If the Big XII dissolves and is absorbed into the remaining Power 4, who do you want? Notre Dame is already an ACC member for Basketball and all other sports. If they join a conference for football it will be the ACC.
And while I'm sure it doesn't need to be said, I'll say it anyway...Parkinson's is a bitch. RIP Mr. Weaver.
Well put.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
EDIT: darn, now I look like an idiot.
He will never get all the credit he deserves. Prayers for the family. Thanks Jim for dedicating so much to VT.

# | Article from Clevland.com "Can Virginia Tech beat Ohio State? A 10 percent chance the Buckeyes could lose" No doubt. Hodges is really good, and I do believe VT will be better on both sides of the ball.
Whether we are talking Barrett/Miller/Jones or Brewer - and the guys they have to target, your passing game tends to get crapped up when the QB is getting hit and going down as he is throwing. We saw that with what VT did to JT last year. And we also saw what happens when you can limit the running game. So, the same thing applies on both sides of the ball with both teams this year.
If I'm VT (team/coaching staff member), I'm pulling the "disrespect" card and using it for everything it's worth. OSU will be (last I heard) a double digit favorite in that game. I'd put together a montage of talking heads feeling sorry that the Hokies have to step on the same field with them, juxtaposed to highlights from last year's game. I'd pin this Plain Dealer article up on the bulletin board, and all that kind of stuff. I'd try to have that team foaming at the mouth like mad dogs to get at them.
Fans get upset when their team is disrespected, but coaches fall on their knees and thank God for the gift. :)
Yea we can't all be super triple double Platinum and Diamond Hokies like me.
Bud kept him in check pretty well last year, we just kept handing him the ball on our end.
I didn't know that they had all of these fancy names. I just usually picked the blue one.
I wasn't about to jump into that fray, but I was chuckling at how everyone took him at his word that he was a Diamond or Platinum Hokie (or whatever, he kept jumping back and forth).
Satch looks really uncomfortable in that pic up there. I think he's just an awkward teenager in a massive body he's still growing in to. If he sticks with the program I think he'll be a solid contributor by his Junior year.
Not to mention that Weaver-Beamer just doesn't really roll of the tongue.
I'm not too big on the shared name concept.
Each of those guys did enough to get something named after them at some point.
Except by that same line of thinking we should have less to fear from ECU then any other G5 team. We learn and are familiar with them to the same level. You are being dishonest with only saying the familiarity benefits ECU.
And at the end of the day there is a wide disparity between good and bad G5 teams. As they have shown in the past 5 years the pollsters are big fans of ECU, and look much more favorably on a victory over them then say Tulane, or UConn.
