With Marshawn Lynch, DJ Reid, and hopefully Shai McKenzie coming in next season, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see Edmonds move over to the defensive side of the ball. He's big, strong & fast, no doubt. But he just doesn't look like a natural running back to me. Specifically, he seems, to my uneducated eye at least, to have "tunnel vision", which is to say that his field vision isn't very good. On more occasions than I can count this season, I found myself saying something like ... "Man, if he'd just cut to the right instead of staying left, he had a huge hole there!"

My wife is being thrown a baby "sprinkle" for our 2nd kid...whatever a "sprinkle" is. That means I will be teaching the 2 year old "Lets Go Hokies!" at 9am AZ time.

Agree he's my top pick to return punts. The coaches always say how much of a playmaker he is and he needs to be on the field. Ok then let him return puts and lets see what he can do. Having him on the field for a play and them not giving him the ball does nothing to how his playmaking ability.

I think the recruiting tool argument is being a bit overstated here. We aren't going to invite a recruit to an away game. And It's not like we don't already have huge exposure there. I don't see a recruit going to what frankly sounds like a mediocre match up and that having much of a sway in their decision. There will probably be some local media hype, but a great recruiting tool? The only benefit I see is that the coaches are already in town to do some recruiting on Sunday.

As someone originally from Norfolk, this is something I can get excited about. I wish they would do the same for basketball as well.

I was amongst your down-voters. To me, it's tough to claim lifelong fandom and then put them down that way. Throwing out the c-word isn't frustration to me, it's just hateful. If you've been with the program that long you should appreciate the high standards even more and understand the stumbles. My first game was in one of the probation years as a 4 year old watching us get stomped because my dad was at a conference and they gave him tickets in the presidents box for free due to no interest. I started school in 2000 and had classmates that didn't know anything of the pre-'95 successful Hokies. Am I disappointed in this team for last week? Absolutely, but I am eternally grateful that we have reason to sit at 6-2 and be disappointed. 6 wins is a season goal for some teams, it was a dream for us for much of your fandom and is still a dream for certain other teams on the other side of the state. I will never let my disappointment turn to bitterness and will never call these kids by the dreaded name. I will give you back a leg for having the fortitude to come back and explain yourself though.

Not until next year. They are a transitional team this year and still considered FCS when it comes to number of wins needed for bowl eligibility for FBS teams that beat them.

Hands down my favorite comedian. Went to see him with my dad a couple years ago, absolutely hilarious.

I think this entire conversation can be summed up by Russell Peters...
