Bitter spoke with his high school coach.
Just spoke w/#Hokies RB commit Tabyus Taylor's Hopewell coach Ricky Irby. Said Taylor (6-1, 215) is "a power guy, not a jitterbug guy."— Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) December 11, 2013
Tabyus Taylor plays QB at Hopewell but was a runner. Ran for 403 yards, 5 TDs vs. Petersburg. Ran for 273 yards, 7 TDs vs. Matoaca. #Hokies— Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) December 11, 2013
Qualifying still up in the air for Taylor. Irby said it could be a situation where he preps for a year. Too early to tell. #Hokies— Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) December 11, 2013
I remember against Wake when he was a freshmen he got burned for a TD. I turned to my dad and said that he was a Fuller, we immediately knew that the play was a fluke and he was going to be a player. Thanks for the memories Kyle.
If this happens Auburn will dominate the state of Alabama for many years to come.

He reminds me so much of Darren Evans. I'm excited
So...SEC has this new team called "Auburn", along with a couple others. And they have a Championship game. I think the Former 12 needs a little more than Saban to change the landscape.
I feel bad for opposing defenses in the future having to deal with the strength of Edmunds, Sam Rogers, and Marshawn. Sunday mornings are going to be extremely painful for opposing teams linebackers.
Funny as thit.
Mexico just passed the U.S. as the most obese country. Replacing the sugar in Mexican coke with high fructose corn syrup is them making sure we don't get that title back anytime soon.
How are there not more comments on this? That highlight tape was ridiculous. I had to re-watch at least 5 different plays. Check out the two runs 4:21 - 4:48. Also 2:08 is pretty sick.
I love the YAC, he follows blockers well, then he destroys the secondary with power running, shifty moves and stiff arms. The only thing he might lack is elite speed but then he would have 30+ offers. Having watched his sophomore and junior tape you can actually see how he improved every single year. I expect he will improve his speed at Tech and it's not like he's slow now.
In a few years he will be running behind Grimes' fab 5 o-line with either Hodges or Ford under center, not to mention the wide receivers we are pulling right now. I actually see a bright future for our offense. Plus he loves Virginia Tech and has the nickname Juice. What more could we ask for?
Excellent write up EP.
Sugar Cane coke was also a treat. Try it if you get the chance.
Definitely go try Rudy's. Fantastic barbeque. I got to try it while my brother was stationed at Laughlin Air Force Base for Flight School. Great experience.
It's all good. I have just spent entirely too much of my free time thinking about ways to improve college football. Haven't had much luck.
My best guess is that Bama will sweeten his contract just enough for him to stay on. I think he is well set there.
Of course the wildcard is the LH network revenue. Have a feeling that has much more potential than just the salary.
Christmas on the Pecos is definitely one of the cooler things in the area.
I was gonna say CFM. I mean, look at this guy. You going to say no to this guy?
The Steelers have had a number of interesting names in the last couple decades. In addition Fu, you have Plaxico Burress, Antwaan Randle-El, and Ziggy Hood. I'm sure there've been others too.
WHAT'S A HOKIE? 🦃

# | A Guide to El Paso - As Written by a Hokie Who's Stuck There A) They import it into the shops here
B) They've announced they're not going to make it with sugar cane anymore... not sure starting when, but it was a BIG. DEAL. here.
Thanks for taking the time to write this, this is awesome! I have some extended family in Juarez/El Paso and for Mexican food, they also recommend Anadale and La Terraza (in addition to Taco Tote and Barrigas).
As a fiercely proud Carlsbad native, I was very happy to see you've enjoyed your visits there. If anyone is interested in making an overnight trip, it is a good idea to book your hotel pretty early. The oilfield (which constitutes roughly 95% of the Southeastern New Mexico/Southwestern Texas economy) requires a lot of work-related travel and hotels fill up surprisingly fast and theyre kind of pricey. Another thing you might want to look into is the Christmas on the Pecos tours (I believe the last one is the 31st). All the residents who live along the river decorate their back yards with Christmas lights/decorations and you can take a boat trip down the river and look at them. I used to drive the boats for this when I was home on break, and there is one house that is owned by Hokies and always has a giant VT logo made out of Christmas lights, and it is sweet.
Looking forward to seeing any fellow Hokies at the game!
I know that Juarez is a scary place, but the coke is totally worth it. It comes in glass bottles and is made with real sugar as opposed to high fructose corn syrup.
And the great irony of this bowl game is that I was living just outside of New Orleans and moved to Roswell right before the the 2011 season where we ended up in the Sugar Bowl. Then, I moved back to southern Louisiana right before this season started and we end up in the Sun Bowl. They keep putting Texas between me and my Hokies, dammit!
As a Hokie that lived in the area in Roswell NM for a couple years (actually in Baton Rouge now), I second the Carlsbad Caverns trip. I went twice while living there and its a phenomenal experience if you're in to that sort of thing. You can also hit up the Living Desert State Park in the town of Carlsbad, which is sort of a more natural zoo. The White Sands Monument and Park is also fun for a day trip. If you like hiking I would suggest Guadalupe Mountains National Park, which has the highest peak in Texas at 8000 feet.
Cloudcroft is a cool day trip town that is set up sort of Old West meets Ski Resort. Ruidoso has a very large Native American Casino, horse-track, and the southernmost ski resort in the Northern Hemisphere (Ski Apache). And unless you're really really REALLY into UFOs I would not recommend a trip to Roswell. The UFO museum is a bunch of pictures and blocks of text stuck to corkboard that hasn't been updated since the mid 90s and some bad plastic alien props covered in dust. The town itself is really just dust and sadness in general.
Dammit! I knew it was too good of an idea to actually work!
Maybe. Let's let those 5 years actually happen first
