My first reaction was that Taylor said something about his mother.
I disagree there. The kid returning the punt was defenseless and an amateur athlete. The punter in the pro bowl was both not defenseless and he was a professional. I don't know what else the punter was expecting.
Time will tell, but this is a great get. Maybe it's PR, but it doesn't seem PR when he says it, but to hear someone say anything like "Dream Job" with regards to Virginia Tech, and to have the background with it...you know he's going to take it to heart.
Having Weaver around as a consultant is pretty nice, too (though at almost half a mil per year...ugh).
You do it different though. Allow students to buy into a "Student Hokie Club" which would give you priority seating at smaller sports events, offer tailgates before games, and have other incentives for being a part of it. Partner with places downtown so that they can get more business too. Then your membership from that would translate into being a Hokie Club member when you graduate. You're given priority points for being part of it so that you have a foundation when you graduate.
Exactly. I don't blame the guy either. It was pretty trashy.
As I understand, the design-build teams have submitted their packages and interviews start very soon. A team may be selected and under contract by mid-spring...
Ahh figures. Thanks for the info. Gonna see about going through a season ticket holder friend.
For everyone asking about non-season ticket holders, at the moment it appears that you won't be able to reserve anything until 2016 based upon this document http://www.hokiesports.com/football/battleatbristol/ticketinfo.pdf.
Sales to the general public will begin in early 2016, with all ticket orders being assigned after Hokie Club and season ticket holders orders are filled. General public ticket sales must be accompanied with full payment at the time of order.
those are two sentence fragments
Does the student athletic fee come as part of a "Hokie Club" membership? I don't think it did.
But raise that fee by $100 and make every student then a part of the Hokie Club. Want to catch them early? Make it apart of a fee they have to pay anyway and give them actual benefits and events that let them see that they are the future. Every student, a HC member.
im feeling a good amount of hate for taylor here. say what you want about the guy but he was a helluva football player. additionally all the people around him also said that he really matured and grew up when his daughter was born
I've seen that before. I don't think comparing freshman year as a gunner to hitting a punter in the pro bowl is the best argument.
The best part of that is the in-game audio of the ref (I think it was Mike Carey) telling the other refs why he's calling Taylor for the penalty when Pittman clearly took a swing at him. Carey's response was something along the lines of "If someone did that to me then I would have done more than just throw a punch at him".
They did play zone... and BC shredded it like wet paper for wide open 3's. It was all around a pathetic effort on D
So how about non season ticket holders?
But what about the non-season ticket holders???
Ask and you shall receive

I am getting more and more pissed off about this myself. I think ALL tickets should have been
available at the same time. What in the world are they waiting for??!?!?! Sorry. Rant over. LOL
He just followed Mike London on Twitter, man would I love to see those DM's
"YOU!!!!!"
And sometimes not even 18 yet! How's a kid that barely got his license supposed to decide the institution he'll put his future at stake with? It was hard enough for me and I wasn't on anyone's recruiting list.
The guy was faking a punt running for a first down. Someone has that responsibility. The punter was taking his responsibility seriously. His coach seemed to be taking it seriously.
But Taylor who may have had responsibility for the fake punt. He should shirk his responsibility and take no pride in not letting the first down happen.
Perfectly logical.
Punter got up Taylor hit him like a gentleman despite the punter and his coach trying to show him up. Have no idea what the hell you people think football or life for that matter is all about. You gotta turn it on and you gotta be able to turn it off. It wasn't a cocktail party. Lotsa folks have it turned on for tackle football. Maybe ST didn't get the no pads just tutus memo.
Doh.
Nice info. I dont think we should be worried by this news directly. It just feels like everything is trending FSU for Nnadi. Hope I'm wrong. Not like my opinion means anything.
Someone on TSL pointed out that the UT Athletic Department has a big time budget problem and by taking deposits on the Battle at Bristol they're helping make ends meet this year. It's not a positive for anyone, its an act of desperation. They are basically selling tickets to a 2016 game to pay the bills in 2014.
one more for old time's sake:
I'm excited for this hire. I think he's going to do great things here. I bet he gets the indoor practice facility erected in record time.
