I think Clemson should be more worried about Chad Morris leaving than we do about Bud

If he's throwing to Jarrett Boykin and Danny Coale at the combine workouts then he'll go first overall
Calm your nerves
We have a HUGE need for Lb's moreso than safety since Cj Reavis is coming in this yr as well.
but accuracy is the thing with logan. it begins and ends right there. sometimes he's deadly accurate making nfl throws all over the field, other times he's boinking balls off a railing in section 9. i'm sure his interviews will go well and he'll crush all the sprints and jumps and lifts. but if he's inaccurate like we know he can be at pro day or the combine and he'll drop like a rock.
i think he's in a great situation. he's not gonna go in the first round but someone will see all that size and strength and work ethic and will fall in love with him. hopefully he goes to a decent franchise and learns behind an established starter for a couple seasons instead of going to a team that will expect him to be the savior right away.
Exactly. I remember Todd McShay saying earlier this season that he thought (like we've been saying the last 2 years) that LT3 has probably the least amount of help around him out of all the legit NFL QBs in the draft. If, like you said, he can show teams that he can put the ball on the money and prove that a lot of those picks/incompletions weren't his fault (let's face it, look at the Bama game. There's only so many times a ball can hit the WR in the face, hands or chest before you stop blaming the QB), I think he could definitely surprise some people with how high he goes.
Pas unpopular as it is, I think we end up using 2 qbs next season in order to win the most games. It outdated be a leake/tebow scenario or a glennon/Taylor. The one thing I am confident on is that a true freshmen will not be physically or mentally ready to take EVERY snap next season. It is inevitable that they would need some relief.
I think Logan is gonna destroy the combine. We all may be surprised at how high he goes.
IMO, Logan's only worry is accuracy. If he can show teams he is an accurate passer in the combine and at his pro day he's golden.
I recall a lot of talk during his original recruitment of him moving to LB, but he would be a Kam Chancellor at safety on the collegiate level. So maybe not a bad thing to keep him in the secondary.
It's entirely up to you to prefer whatever you wish. I also prefer we win every game. It doesn't mean it's going to happen and it doesn't mean I like the team any less so.
I guess this is where I disagree with your customer comment. My grandfather graduated from VT in '39, myself in '99. And as you allude to in your mind's image, to the both of us Blacksburg helped define who we are and left long lasting, amazing memories. Memories that make me more than just a customer when it comes to the Hokies. I am a Hokie (not saying you aren't) and that means more to me that what a scoreboard sells, likewise for my grandfather. I don't care that I am being marketed to. In fact I welcome it because it's marketed to a base of customers to which I identify with and belong to, and I want to help support my team and school anyway I can. Which as a fan is mostly about being marketed to. I suppose that's what school spirit is all about.
So you can be a discriminating one. I prefer to be a passionate one.
By totally terrible do you mean the team or the special teams? Special teams has been lacking, but I think you may have a different meaning of terrible than most.
New info. Could we be driving TWO Fords next year!?!?!?
ESPN 300 WR Isaiah Ford also decommits from Louisville, per Trinity Christian assistant Gerard Ross.— Jared Shanker (@JShankerESPN) January 5, 2014
To be fair to LT, sacks cut into his ypc average quite a bit, unless you found info that removes sacks from the equation. Not a bad point though, I'd beat an old lady with a stick to know what some of those playcalls actually were.
We have him projected as a safety at VT, no? If so, I'm a little concerned about the fact that he played MLB all last year and having to adjust to coverages and all that.
Exactly. No better test than that for our defense.
Plus we will send him to the NFL knowing that he won't get a chance to make up for an early season loss to a team more than due for a big one.
Bring it on.
fair enough. It just frustrates me when people seem dissatisfied when we're not as good as they think or wish we should be...that shouldn't matter. Perhaps I misinterpreted your comment. It sounded to me that if we're not guaranteed to win or contend for the conference championship it's not worth the time. If I misunderstood your comment I apologize for ruffling your feathers. It wasn't just your comment that set me off..just the last straw so to speak.
You're right, football is a product and we, the customers, drink it up. I'll always consume Hokie Football regardless of how good (or bad) they are. I love the team because they're Hokies, not because they're winners.
Thank you for your service
Go Hokies!
Thinking about sending an email to Doc Holliday. Marshall loves Non-qualifiers and they treat their players right.
Troll? ^
nah, just news. It doesn't matter who's on their side of field. If you wanna be the best, you gotta beat the best.
juco for him then?
Nope .. game is over
