You'd have to forego Wonder Years and Step By Step as well and is any man that strong?
FifthFuller - on your way to Lancaster County, PA stop by and visit me in Hanover, PA for some fresh Grandma Utz. I live 5 minutes from the Factory.
A true country boy as well.
I've told this story before, but I am 95% sure I met Danny Coale's parents at the 2011 UVA/VT game in Charlottesville (38-0, yo!).
I was returning to my seat from a bathroom run and I run into an older couple in the tunnel. I am wearing my #19 VT jersey and the gentleman says to me, "Alright, go D.Coale!" I instinctively say something like, "HELL YEAH!" and I look up and notice that the woman is wearing a homemade t-shirt with the #19 on it. I realize that these are probably Danny's parents and I go to give her a high-five. She counters with a fist bump. It ended up looking a lot like this:
Thankfully, we never got this far:
I honestly think it's either BC or Tech because Addazio recruited him as well but Loeffler was his main recruiter. Hope we can land him because that means that Ford can definitely redshirt (meaning the coaches won't have to put him in because of an injury.)
It was the first time they felt "Threatened" by an non-SEC team. Unknown emotions...
I don't know how to properly judge QB rushing yards since sacks are involved, but he gained 270 yards rushing and lost 209 (thus the 61 net yards). Can't find out right now how many times he was sacked.
It took me so much longer than I'd like to admit to realize that all of the food in this post is served in bowls. BOWLS. GET IT?!?
Ughh. Anyway, as always, great write-up! Helpin' keep that Fuller name proud.
Decade of Dominance just because I didn't get to watch really any of the Miami game and I can't stand UVA. Plus, after that was over, watching the walk off field goal return in the Iron bowl was pretty glorious.
Harley would be a very nice complement to Maddy-Nigel-Baron. That would allow us to slow-play Walker and Nnadi (hopefully) as the situation dictates.
Without Williams, BC is UVA level bad. At least he was there at the ceremony. I feel like in the last couple years, guys like that wouldn't have even had a chance.
I briefly considered a Giada television ban in my house until after the bowl, but there's no way I can do that.
Winning is everything though. We can joke that 8-4 in the SEC and 13-0 in the ACC are the same thing to ESPN, but my guess is to the voters, it's just a beauty contest and is just the best player on the best team (just like most MVP awards).
Meeting Mr. Bud Foster and Getting him to sign my apparel
So I was working to compile the stats for each player by general position when I came across this gold mine of how Hokies have fared in the NFL:

Its easily sortable, so you can see clearly how Carroll Dale and Antonio Freeman are light years above the other receivers coming out of Tech.
Also interesting to see that MV7 is arguably the best "RB" to come out of Tech when you look at the stats.
Mike Johnson (Tech 84) LB is the tackles leader with 1146 and that doesn't count two years playing in the USFL as well.
Anyway, I recommend giving it a look and playing around with the stats to see what you find.
Yeah, he can run. He wasn't good this year, but I'd sure as hell like to have him on hand. He's probably pretty comparable to Leal, although Leal isn't as good of a runner and probably at least a little better passer.

Torian Gray could make Tiny Tim into Mary Lou Retton.
Played TONS of pick up basketball with Sergio. Also managed to get a lift home from a party from him. Super nice guy.
Also, forgot that Seth Greenberg once gave me a ride from the Cassell lot to Hokie Grill when it was pouring rain and I was walking to work. I said no 2-3 times since I didn't want to get his car nasty (and since it's rarely a good idea to get into a car with a middle aged bald man). Eventually I relented and we had a nice 2 minute ride down the road.
I was at a birthday party for Sergio Render one year and he walked in a sprayed everyone with champagne. That was pretty bad ass.
Sam Rogers' "discount double check " is no discount, it is free.
As stated already, Blue Bell is from Texas. Who is the last Hokie football player from Texas? Meanwhile, Turkey Hill hails from the same state as Kevin Jones, Jim Druckenmiller, Kyshoen Jarrett...where's your program loyalty?
Yeah I was at that party, it was at TKE?
