Often times, athletes are hidden from vt.edu searches so that you can't get their address, phone numbers, or e-mail addresses from a simple search.
None of those guys were built like Logan. When a team sees him they're going to see the next Big Ben.
Great kid - had the opportunity to meet Kris during the spring of 2010 as a volunteer at Special Olympics in Blacksburg. He and Bruce Taylor did wonders for inspiring the Special Olympics athletes.
Best Wishes, Kris.
The issue is with initiating contact with the crown of his helmet, which he appears to do. Even if he didn't hit Logan in the helmet, which it also appears that he caught him at the bottom of the facemask, I believe the terminology of the targeting rule is that it's either initiating contact to the head or neck or initiating contact with the crown of the helmet. Based upon how often the referees err on the side of targeting only to review it and determine that it wasn't and the player is not ejected, I was shocked that they didn't make that call during the game. If you're going to call it for unneccessary roughness, they should have called targeting and then reviewed it. If they review it and say it's clean then it is what it is, but the refs let it go and he did it at least 2 more times during the game.
So, what everybody is saying is there are more rumors about QB's transferring to VT than fans at the LOLUVA spring game? Makes sense.
My guess is Rivals talking to justify people paying a lot of good money to go behind their pay wall and talk football.
Any news on when he's enrolling?
I vt.edu searched him and didn't see him enrolled. That's never a good sign.
He's critically important next year. Without him, we're thin at DT and DE. At least at DT, we have Sobczack (no idea how to spell his name, yet), Walker and hopefully Nnadi who would be expected to play. At DE, Mihota is working his way back from injury. A guy like Kevin Bronson is critically important.
Am I the only one who thinks the officials got the call right? The hit was clearly excessive -- Logan no longer had the ball -- and appeared to be intended as payback for Logan embarrassing their defense on the previous run. But was it "targeting"? Is a QB who has just thrown the ball "defenseless" under the targeting rule? Ejecting the kid might have been just and fair and all that, but would it have been consistent with the rules?
Something that confuses me about the title of this thread. Bamy fan has a mind (brain)?
I'll let the other old Hokie answer for himself, but assuming he says "special teams," then I for one use "totally terrible" the same way he does. Because our 2012 special teams were totally terrible. This year it was A J Hughes, half a season of Cody Journell, and everyone else was totally terrible.
Well FWIW, this was posted early this morning so who knows what the situation really is:
I hope y'all don't think I'm quitting Football lol .the media is very funny Nothing is going to stop me from playing ball my page was hack— Cequan Jefferson!! (@Real_PrimeTime2) January 6, 2014
...who wasn't planning on leaving I think you mean?
Julian Edelman as well
My guess is the coach told 247Sports the same thing he told the freely accessible newspaper folks.
Steve Jones of The Courier-Journal wrote the following about Ford Sunday evening.
The Florida Class 3-A Player of the Year had 37 catches for 719 yards and 12 touchdowns and accounted for 1,067 all-purpose yards and 17 TDs last season, according to stats on the Tampa Tribune website. He had 102 rushing yards and two TDs on nine carries in Trinity Christian's victory in the state finals.
Ford is also a talented basketball player and was planning to join U of L's team as a walk-on.
Trinity Christian head coach Verlon Dorminey told The Courier-Journal on Saturday that Ford would probably end up at Virginia Tech, which has also invited him to join the basketball team as a walk-on.
Virginia Tech football coach Frank Beamer is expected next week to visit Ford, who has already made his official visits to Louisville and Virginia Tech.
Emphasis is my own.
I don't get it. What movie franchise is this reference for? It can't be the Indiana Jones trilogy. Nope.
tiny box, tiny box. come on! everybody sing!
yeah. I feel like the only q making receivers look better is Peyton Manning, and even then he needs receivers who can catch.
then we'll just talk about him unretiring to play TE. or coming to vt to be the TE coach.
Well fuck. He was one of my faves too.
I will always remember him for "The Harley Mash"
Trent Dilford doesn't know who Eddie Royal is.
He was talking about "dimes" and discussing Phillip Rivers' nice throw of the game to ER.
"Look at his eyes, looking off the safety getting him to break inside to cover Gates and he comes back to hit uh, to hit..the receiver down the right sideline" ~ this was kinda paraphrased but that's the gist of it
do'h!!
True.
Imagine top notch WR's and Logan versus Alabama in the first game of this year.
Logan went 5/26 completions/attempts! (McCarron was 10/23)
We could be having an entirely different conversation if the WR's had less drops this year.
I suggest the Fuller banner should have the number 119 on it, the sum of all Fuller uniform numbers.
