Blue Collar Hokie | 12 years 7 months # | New QB commit! Chris Durkin -

mcglock was ecu until the last minute.

Yeah, that's a good one. But my favorite is still "Coach L'Undone." But then, I've been on the LOLUVA = France Bandwagon for a really REALLY long time. LOL

Feel good - the more Loefler-approved QB recruits, the better.

I think he's more than likely talking about how he has a chance of playing much earlier than he would at MSU. Right now it's Leal's job to lose and he will only be around for 1 year leaving him a chance to play next season(if he's that good) or at the latest 2015 when Leal leaves after a probable Redshirt year. There's a lot of Redshirt Jrs coming back for the Spartans next year which could potentially push him to a 2 year wait.

Coach Fondue! That's killing me...and so appropriate!

It's good enough sir -and I was at that game with you against Clemson. My background with the school does not entail a degree (I worked on campus as an IT consultant -my office was in Squires) though Wife1.0's PhD I'll take some credit for. Many a friend attempted-to, or actually graduated from the school so my younger years, 91-96 were spent visiting. The town, the university and the region were so easy to fall in-love-with.

No real point... Hokie Hokie Hokie Hi!

I don't understand the elite 11 thing. I know Ford was in it... So Durkin was, too?

I love the holiday season. I think coach fondue is the best nickname we have for him.

Not to get too cheesy, but like in fondue and football, there are no time outs. There are either delicious treats to be had...don't over cook them now!...and timeouts to be mismanaged.

How the fudge did we lose out on Brown and etc. etc.

I can only gather it's more of a MeAngelo type of situation. No team unity. No heart. No nothing.

10 years, Coach Fondue. 10 years.

I'd argue that Jacory Harris situation worked out great... for us!

avanhokie | 12 years 7 months # | SURPRISE! 2014 QB Chris Durkin Committed to Virginia Tech

Of course lol

looks like Sam Rogers trucked over the 'f's in Jeff and turned them into 7's

Troeg's - yes. I go most every Friday for happy hour.
I'm not much into pretzels - it's a PA dutch thing, and I'm a southern boy at heart.
Hershey's fresh, but Wilbur's has better chocolate. Litiz is a nice little town - worth a visit to see some of the cool shops.

Western NJ? North Jersey (anything north of Trenton) OK. South Jersey (anything South of Trenton) OK. Jersey Shore (anywhere from Cap May lighthouse to Sandy Hook Lighthouse) OK. The Gap (delaware river from the tri state border to I80) OK. But western NJ is that Phiilipsburg? Camden, or Pennsville? So is western Nj like western Rhode Island? Heck MVI could throw a football from Barnegat to Philly.

Seriously though, when I visited Tech from South Jersey the first time in 1974, I knew where I would go to school a few years later. It did not hurt they had a great Chem E department and a mediocre soccer team! Also applied to and accepted to hooville and made the best decision of my young life to attend the University of New Jersey, Southern Extension as me and my many Jersey friends who attended called it ( rumor has it that some hoodlums from Jersey covered the welcome to VPI&SU sign on Southgate Drive with a welcome to the University of New Jersey Southern Extension sign on April 1, 1978).

The campus was beautiful then and keeps getter better every year. Looking forward to my next visit in the spring and seeing the new performing arts center. Singing in McBryde 100 was ok, Burruss Auditorium was cool, Lane Stadium was awesome, but I can't imagine the new performing arts center!

Uhhhhh... Dayton?

I've been to Fifth Third Field... it's named for the bank. Which is an awful name for a bank.

Erick Green held a door open for me at Hokie Grill one day. Super nice guy.

4VPISU | 12 years 7 months # | Another Mike London Recruiting Letter -- "YOU!"

Surprised he used the correct spelling and use of the word "you" - Formerly, he was incorrect in past usages of certain words.

are we forgetting all the possible Pokemon jokes that could be made here?

Mike London, you have really outdone yourself this time.

He used to send the same card every year around this time to the mall Dunkin' Donuts employees.

If this doesn't cause some UVA verbals to mutter "WTF!!" and reconsider their commitments, then they're truly doomed to four+ years of living in the C'ville version of Land of the Lost.
