Per Bitter: Tyler is one or 10 finalists for the Burlsworth Award, given to 'college football's most outstanding player who began their career as a walk-on.'
There is a fan vote that counts towards 5% of the total vote, and you can vote once/24hours.
Burlsworth Trophy
Smart is going HAM right now against Memphis. 24 points (of Ok State's total 31) with over 8 minutes left in the 1st half. Glad we played him last year and not this year. Memphis as a team only has 20 points as a team right now.
That is an impressive list! Thanks for the great share.
apparently he is being looked at for LB. He seems to be versatile
Speaking of FAINTs, any word on Torrian Gray's job status? I mean seriously, the lack of interceptions is ridiculous. We should be averaging at least 15 a game.
/Sarcasm
I will admit when he caught that ball in the end zone, I just muttered take a knee we will get better field position. Then he has his best KR of the season.
We want the FAINT to fall. FAINT = Logan INT - Fuller INT. Negative FAINT after this game would be good.
When you look at the 15 schools that have played in a BCS title game, Virginia Tech being in this group should impress you.
Oklahoma, Alabama, LSU, Florida State, Ohio State, Florida, Miami, Texas, USC, Auburn, Tennessee, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Oregon and Virginia Tech
Second video, Miami RB two serious stiff arms. Shaking my head.
Then, BOONE for the TD.
I'm sure the statute of limitations is up by now. I know one of the guys who did it. He said they almost got caught on their way out but ran fast enough, and the security guard was far enough away, that they got away.
This is just beautiful I love the yearly Christmas themed LOLUVA threads.
proof?
This has to be a self deprecating joke, right? Either that or there were some Hokie grad students a part of its creation.
I mean actually spelling out the name brands you're supposed to wear and having a get out of bed outfit and a class outfit? Whatever Hokie shirt I put on after showering was my class outfit, my lunch outfit, my afternoon class outfit, my dinner outfit, and my evening outfit.
I've posted this before, but here it is again:
Loeffler is ridiculous. That guy goes through energy drinks like water. Sleeps maybe 4 hours a night and is generally at work the other hours of the day.
interesting you bring up Texas...they probably have one of the highest revenue flows in the country...
You posters that are not satisfied with the state of the program and think VT can and should compete with the likes of Alabama, Oregon, etc...Please open your wallets, WIDE. Those programs are perennial top 5 because they have the donors to contribute. Who do you think pays those salaries and for those facilities, taxpayers? Phil Knight and most of the state of Alabama. Tide fans donate before they put food on the table.
Competing for ACC Division titles, win ACCCG every 2-3years, and be in the NC discussion 1/4 years is better than the majority of Div 1. Most of this board doesn't remember what it took to get where we are now. If it was that easy, why is Texas not always in top 5?
Keep Calm and Gobble On...
I wish I could be half as creative as you guys...
First of all, who cares what coaches look like?
Second, Beamer has repeatedly said he does not want to be AD.
Third, that "decline" was last year, and it's already improving. Where exactly is the trend there?
And also a Bahamian
How long has this been a thing?
much convenience
wow
SWEET! Upvote for the glad tidings.
Well, Grimes is the Run Game Coordinator in addition to the Offensive Line coach, so I think he has a lot of input in what runs to utilize and who to put in. Right now, there's isn't a big body that can push the pile like Edmunds can unless Shane moves Jermone Wright back to tailback (unlikely since has been a fullback all season), and the blocking has been up and down all season long.
Moorehead appears to be making the wide receivers moving in the right direction. The receivers are blocking downfield, catching the ball better, and yeah, there's still the drops that builds ulcer. I think he is a star in making as a wide receiver coach. I hope we hold onto him for as long as Beamer's around.
Loeffler is a huge upgrade over Stinespring. As I mentioned a while back in one of Mason's columns, I thought Stinespring had the right idea of incorporating the multiple offense system, but he simply didn't know how to properly teach and implement them. Enter Loeffler who has been exposed to several different philosophies, and you can see he is blending them all very well. I think what Loeffler really aspire for the offense to be is similar to the New England Patriots. The Patriots does love to use two tight ends set and a variety of play action passes.
The empty seats, I think, is a reflection of growing apathy in the fan base. Like seeing the players quitting the team through attrition and transfer, I think those fans who want to stay with the team are the ones that will stay with the team through thick and thin.
Right now, it's not limited to just Virginia Tech. There has been growing trends amongst college football and even the NFL that attendance as whole is down. Blame part of it on the state of the economy with unemployment stubbornly hovering at all time highs and the advert of HDTV have made it difficult to commit to spending money on traveling, tailgating, lodging, meals, etc.
Andy, have you been able to talk to Goforth about Kyle Fuller? His absence from the secondary has been noticeable because he's one of the best tacklers on the team and isn't afraid of sticking his nose in the scrum. In all the loss this season, Kyle Fuller has been on the sideline, and I think most of us here think that has played a factor, albeit it a small factor.
