A co-worker of mine, a UVA fan, was all excited about FB season. He was convinced this was the year they would beat VT and win the ACC. Obviously that dream ended 4 weeks in, and then talk started about basketball season. Needless to say, he's now talking about baseball season. I told him to keep trying, he may get one right eventually.

# | Bitter blog - As an era comes to an end, a look back at the Hokies' checkered history in the BCS I think eventually recruits will not fall for his nonsense and come to the Tech.
I agree - top recruits want to go to winning programs. As with the All American game this past weekend, each one of those players is thinking "what program will give me the best opporunity to play in the NFL."
Now, for the record, UVA has put some kids in the pros (mainly OL's and TE's, a few others) but so have we - and we have won games, and have been to bowl games.
WHAT'S A HOKIE? 🦃

# | Bitter blog - Florida State holds up ACC's rep with BCS title game win Duke doing well this year was fecking adorable. If they keep it up, though, it'll quickly become annoying.
Hokie Sports Future Football Schedules
Edit: JC beat me to it!
Who has a link to the schedule as it exists right now?
Can you provide it for us, please.
My Googlefu is not up to snuff today.
IMO, it's gotta be Morris. Louisville has the offensive talent already that he likes for his scheme. He just needs to pair his offensive scheme with a decent DC and he'd be golden.
Don't look forward to playing Morris-led Louisville, but I'd love to play Dabo minus Morris.
so if Strong turns around UT and gets them back to their winning ways in, lets say, 2 years (generous I know) how long will you give Jerry Jones to poach him for the Boys?
its important for QB's to build a rapport with their O-line. The QB needs to earn the respect of the guys protecting him..I encountered Sean Glennon a couple of times in passing (he had a class in Randolph..of all places) and he struck me as arrogant and aloof. It could be argued that most QB's are, to some degree, arrogant. They're alpha males and they have to be confident but it wouldn't surprise me if he rubbed the OL the wrong way
Good article on Strong and what he'll face at UT. They picked him because he's a winner and a good recruiter, exactly what it takes to get back to being the best football team in Texas.
But, but, but...he was listed as a QB coming out of HS. Everyone knows that if the recruiting services have you listed as a QB, that's what you are and you can't possibly be a TE.
Oh wait a minute...maybe it's the other way around....my mistake...
Yeah from what I've seen of Ford, I wouldn't consider "running for his life" his top skill (understatement). Hopefully with the promising development in the OL, the ability to run for his life won't be a required skill.
True, and that really bothered me. They should have given equal effort for both. Glennon had the better arm especially early on. But the lack of protection for even 1.5 seconds killed our passing game.
I don't know...in the 2 game films I saw, under duress I saw him running very, very briefly for his life and getting sacked well behind the line of scrimmage. I mostly saw him completing middle screens and short patterns that went for long yardage after catch -- with a few well-thrown semi-deep balls and a few poorly thrown semi-deep balls.
The 2008 class had a few studs with Ryan Williams, Jarrett Boykin, Antoine Hopkins and Bruce Taylor
2010 is really where it started to go downhill.
Perhaps a bit too early to judge, but the 2012 class looks to be underwhelming - which would mean 3 straight below VT standard classes.
The 2013 & 2014 groups appear be a step in the right direction.
But, you're the Editor, and it's up to you whether or not you want to delete those posts in the future.
No, that's not what I'm going to do. In addition to making sure this website runs smoothly I have a full time job as well as other obligations. I don't have the time to patrol the message boards for posts to delete all day. (And to credit the people who post on this site, I've only had to delete a handful of posts.)
The discussion on this website isn't going to devolve into "Hey, look what atrain99 (or some other random person on another website posted)". atrain99 or anyone else is more than welcome to come here. If you want to talk about what atrain99 posted, hit the reply button on the website that atrain99 posted it on.
As for your second point, I don't know of that many. Most folks employed by a respected media outlet are going to iterate through their journalistic standards before posting a story because that's what their job depends on. Are there times when they are wrong? Yes, but 99 times out of 100 I'll believe a double sourced story from a major outlet. Now, when they give their opinion on a matter, you might not like what they have to say, but that's a different story.
I think that's a typo...I believe the contract runs until 2200.
Sad to think that my grand-kid's grand-kid's are going to STILL have to deal with ECU on the schedule every. damn. year.
