I mistakenly downvoted as well...curse my clicker finger. Have this sweet GIF and a few legs to compensate.
1995 vs. Syracuse. Donaven McNabb came in w/ all the press and spent the game running for his life. 31 to 7 Hokies win. I think we clinched our first Big East Championship in that game. People were throwing oranges and sugar cubes on the field at the end.
I am sure this has been discussed before but I've never seen a direct answer to it.
A lingering question I have always had about Foster's scheme is whether or not the scheme does a disservice (using loosely as couldn't think of better word) to a few positions when they are looking to transition to NFL. In the scheme Hokie DE's generally translate as OLB and Hokie OLB sometimes translate as Safeties. Tapp and Grimm are good examples of this.
When I look at a player like Dadi I think he is a) speed and motor b)undersized for NFL DE. So does putting him at DE for 4 - 5 years and teaching him that position hurt his draft stock when he will be expected to play OLB? And subsequently does this hurt chances in recruiting big time recruits at these positions because they see Hokies move players around to fit the scheme?
Agreed but I don't think you could pay me (or anyone for that matter) enough money to say that to his face haha
The more I learn about football, the more I realize how little the actual scheme a team uses matters.
Coaching isn't about drawing up a playbook or a coverage. Anyone can do that. Coaching is about getting the most production out of your available talent.
Foster is a GREAT coach because he is able to communicate his scheme to his players. He is able to make adjustments to his scheme to put his players in the position where they are most likely to be successful. He is able to recruit the athletes that best fit his requirements. He is able to get his players to work harder for him then they would for another coach.
Foster's scheme doesn't make him a great coach, it's his ability to squeeze every available ounce of talent out of his players that makes him one.
that's saying something...
I really like Gayle as a player...but DAMN he's ugly

The biggest problem with this choice is that Nic has served his time as punter, and while he had a good level of awesome, Hughes still has time to do even MORE awesome.

turkey leg for you sir
I prefer to think of my time at VT as one, extended, awesome moment in time.
I also make my own rules.
Sh!t! Salvador Dali. You shouldn't have put any faith in me. Thanks for the 'leg, though. I should have said an old guitarist.
So, in response, yes, serious, just wrong.
To be fair, though, my statement was accurate.
i gotta hand it to them, their off campus food was pretty delicious, drunk mexican warps = happy tummy ive visited 5 campuses over the years and aside from tech (of course tech is #1...not even close wouldnt trade my school for the world) I think UNC is #2 head and shoulders above UMD WVU and UVA (UVA was a pretty horrible experience)
Thanks!
