I actually did ^above and the Sam Rogers bus stop pic in MS Paint. I just fired up the Fushitsu which has PhotoShop on it. It's been on for about half an hour with 40 Windows updates.... 0% complete. I'm either sticking with paint or moving PhotoShop over to the work PC.

B4 social media (bsm) there was a semi popular email about Frank Beamers house... I cant recall the exact joke but basically it was praising him by his house being on top of a mountain.. and u lived next door!

I think what bugs me is Lane Kiffin even getting the time of day from any other coach or school at this point.

The man is a petulant asshole of a failure as a coach. The only thing he has any kind of track record of is NCAA violations and the ability to convince others that he actually knows his x's from his o's.

I mean, isn't this pretty much Lane Kiffin's career?:

Expectations:
flame jump.

Results:
career fail

I lived next door to Frank Beamer as a kid. We took care of his dog, this old beagle named Jock. Eventually he moved to a bigger more impressive house but every now and then he'd come out on the front porch and just survey the street with his arms crossed. He'd always wave and say hi if you got his attention.

My mom also saw Michael Vick at Food Lion when he was a freshman. When she told me that I said, "What did he do?" She said, "He just got in his car and drove off." I remember going "Wow" like it was the most impressive thing anyone's ever done.

I also seem to remember Lamar Cobb and Jacob Gibson student teaching classes I had in grade school. I have no idea why they would have though.

If you can eliminate the divisions all-together and go to a nine game schedule things become pretty simple. The league can stay at 14 teams, Notre Dame would just get moved through in the open weeks like an out of conference opponent. Each team would see each stadium atleast once every 4 year period. I'd say best 2 records go to the championship game, of course the NCAA rules would have to be petitioned. Looks something like this:

Year 1:
Year 1

Year 2:
Year 2

Lots of great stories here, mine don't compare but anyways:

On move-in day, my brothers, myself, and all the other participants of Team Hokie joined with the Football Team to get the incoming freshmen settled into their dorms. I'll always remember how the players would laugh it up with the wide-eyed and nervous freshmen, and get them excited for their time at Tech. Bud Foster took on the role as foreman.

I took one of Professor Harvill's courses as an elective in Fall 2007, and there were several football players and I think one of the student managers (maybe a trainer). That first class after the LSU game, Harvill told them they weren't allowed to dwell on that loss, and that they'd win the ACC. Our class just erupted. Fall 2007 was truly a memorable season. I highly recommend undergrads take at least one of Harvill's courses.

As mentioned above, Sergio Render is a friendly dude, and he'll pretty much always like anything pertaining to the Hokies on your Facebook stream.

At a Halloween party I went to, Sean Glennon went as Borat.

I went to summer camp with former Offensive Linemen Richard Graham, and we always called him "Little Richard" there. Of course, he's never been small in any way. http://www.hokiesports.com/football/players/graham_richard.html

Marcus Vick's Escalade once gave my good buddy a jump start at the N. Main Food Lion, but Vick wasn't in the SUV.

I had summer school class with Tony Kennedy and JC Price...the class? Juvenile Delinquency. (No lie, it was a social studies elective)

I have heard Loeffler state that he tailors that offense around his QB the best he can. He will decide between all of his QBs, which one will give him the best opportunity to win, and after deciding that, build the offense around that guy.

Welcome, looking forward to a great site, getting greater. Hey, I went to a Giants - 49's game too, a scab-football entertainment piece during the NFL strike of 1987 I think - the only time I could get tickets.

Now, gotta love New Jersey students coming south to Virginia Tech? Two exhibits from my time:

A: Walking over from Cassell to Hillcrest on a late January afternoon the guy says something like, "I came down here thinking it was going to be warm. Damn!"
B: Norris Hall, sitting on the floor while waiting for class, the guy says, "I thought I'd be the smartest guy down here."

That wasn't actually a bus...it was Sam Rogers.

Living in Richmond and seeing lots of bandwagon VCU fans in their Final Four shirts really gets to me. Hoping the coliseum is full of O&M on Saturday night

Both my parents went to Tech and most of my family is from Southwest VA. We moved back to Blacksburg from Lansdale, PA when I was 8 years old. Before that I was aware of football, but it was always something in the background for me (due to the Eagles sucking eggs in the late 90s). That all changed when we went back home, because my first year of school in Blacksburg happened to be the fall of 1999 and the dawn of the MV7 era. I've never looked back.

By the way, my dad is from Charlottesville. He deserves credit for overcoming that
