just give to to Green...oh.
Shane for 'Associate assistant AD'
This is hard to watch. Both teams are bad to say the least. At times it looks like a glorified pick up game.
i think he meant that Beamer will pick his own successor
Good game summary, right there.
going to be a long basketball season...
Doubt it. Beamer will be special advisor to the AD, not AD.
I never thought a meme on this site would make me tear up any other way than by laughing too hard but this is somehow very sad.
You would be correct about the Charlotte scenarios. If GT wins, they finish the season 6-2. There are only two other teams that can match that at this point: Virginia Tech, and the Miami-Duke winner. If Miami and Duke both lose, we go based on 1-0 head to head against GT. If Miami wins out, we go based on 2-0 head to head against Miami and GT. If Duke wins out, the three tied teams will be 1-1 head to head with each other. We would then go based on our 5-1 Coastal record, vs. GT's and Duke's 4-2 Coastal records.
I might just make a comprehensive list of all possible scenarios and post it tonight. As it stands, even Pitt has a veeeeeeeeery slight chance, depending on a large number of scenarios: 3-way tie at 5-3 (Pitt, GT, Miami), with a 3-way tie at 4-4 behind them (VT, Duke, UNC), and favorable (for them) BCS computer rankings.
Many thanks, Mr. Weaver!
rectified
it'll probably be beams himself
This is sad to hear. Jim Weaver is a great guy and parkinson's is a horrible disease. Virginia Tech has had amazing success under his leadership. I truly wish him the best of luck.
I was really hoping he would be around for a few more years to work with the new university president and to secure the future of the football program in the post-Beamer era (whenever that might be).
I don't know how I feel about a new president having to choose a new AD as one of his first orders of business (especially if the new president is not a VT guy), but that appears it will be the case. In the meantime, does anybody know anything about McCloskey and what we can expect from her?
Dont forget National Championship in BASS FISHING
Ugh accidental phone downvote. Apologies, sir.
sigh
French, your write ups and analysis are light years ahead of the rest of the stuff out there. I feel like their writing and analysis is so flaccid.
Also these write-ups are like a good Budweiser, always fills me up and never let's me down.
Oct 18, 1980....Tech beat LOLUVA on a cold rainy day 30-0, in an under-construction Lane Stadium. Glorious!
That was the only game that was sold out in my entire 5 years on campus(Arch).
It was the Saturday after Thanksgiving so the students made an effort to come
back early. Vaughn and Freeman were fun to watch!
Jeeze, that's terrible news.
Thanks for all you've done jim, we're praying for ya.
Good luck to JW and his battle with Parkinson's.
I guess I'll have to retire my Weaver meme. I've made a ton of turkey legs off it the last year:
everything i heard said doe doe was unhappy in bburg and was leaving regardless. trez was probably a direct result of the firing, but green would have left as well if seth stayed so we can call that a wash.
Sad news but I wish him the best
I've said it before, but my completely blind homerism out of being a hokie and a packers fan is absolutely loving what boykin has been able to accomplish so far
I think Georgia Tech turned the corner after the Miami game. Whipped Cuse, and took care of UVA and Pitt. I think they're better than they seem. Let's be real - everyone looks bad after that Hokie Defense plays them.
