Nope, I'm in Vienna. I've stopped in Staunton on my way to VT though a few times so it's possible you have seen these plates before there.

If I see it again, I'll honk and wave. I'm in Arlington

Yikes..that's not good but let's hope he can come back and start for Sr day, the ACCCG, and the a BCS bowl win.

The fact that he is seeing him after the game doesn't bode well! He was scheduled for a return visit before the game. Seems to me that he is behind schedule on rehab!

from Andy Bitter's Blog:

Will Beamer be wearing camo on the sidelines like a lot of coaches do?

They havent told me yet, he said. Ill see what Nike says.

I think we all get a little glaze eyed when we see Logan sling that ball the way we "hear" he is capable. The dude has one hell of an arm. It is true that he makes some questionable decisions and he does have accuracy issues at times. That being said look at Alex Smith. He had a fantastic coach with a fantastic system in college, slipped into the number one pick (in a weak draft), and then proceeded to such until he got another good coach with a good system (Harbaugh). He's continuing to kill it this year, I give you it is early, with Fat Andy. Here's another example: Tom Brady is sucking balls this year. Nobody is saying that he sucks, the dude has enough cache to never have to worry about that, but his supporting cast obviously is making him appear human. I'm not trying to be a Logan apologist, there are times that I can't believe some of the shit that I see. Give the kid some time. He's starting to learn this system, especially now that the games are real. We are seeing that we have a coordinator willing to (and capable of) altering the plan not only as needed to address defensive schemes, but also to best utilize talent. I think these guys are going to hum. Our offense might never be an offensive juggernaut, but when has it been. Capable, dependable, physical: these are adjectives I will be very happy to use to describe the hokie offense. Got a little long winded there, sorry.

I can't believe the Patriots didn't/haven't picks him up. He's a bigger version of Wes Welker. Plus they need receivers. Bad!

...and no I'm not a Pats fan...

To be fair, (and I am really tickled with how much Exum improved last year), but Lattimore was the best player in college football over the last couple of seasons when healthy. Spectacular player.

There isn't a whole lot of difference in the money after the 2nd round- the 25% yearly raises go away after the 2nd round and 4th-7th rounders basically get the minimum. DJ Hayden suffered a near-fatal injury in November and ended up being the 12th overall pick. Marcus Lattimore suffered knee injuries in 2011 and 2012 and likely won't play in 2013 and went in the 4th round. If you're going to get paid the same no matter when you go, why not go earlier? He already cost himself money by coming back this year.

There isn't much difference between a UDFA and late round pick. For Evans he was better off starting his pro career and earning money immediately rather than waiting.

In regards to Loeffler, I really don't see why everyone is giving him so much credit.

What other have said above rings true. I would add one more important facet that nobody have touched on: attention to details.

Loeffler was hard on Thomas about missing check downs, and made it a point of emphasis during the practices leading up to the WCU game. Then in the ECU game, we saw Thomas actually hitting his check downs or making audible if he felt something was funny (one of that audibles lead to a brilliantly placed throw for a first down, IIRC).

Think that Grimes' stomach was developing ulcer when he turned on the film? I'm sure that both Loeffler and Grimes were having steams coming out of their ears when they saw how ECU dominated the OL.

I cannot remember hearing Thomas or Miller both saying that the line's play was unacceptable. That was sorely missing last year...accountability. Additionally, today, I learned that Tariq Edwards was not pleased with his performance. He actually said that he felt like he was slow when he watched film. I cannot, in the history of following Virginia Tech football (2004-present for me), recall one single Hokie who criticized himself.

Loeffler brought a brand of football that was missing in Blacksburg for the last decade - a physical, no-nonsense smashmouth football that chewed up and spit up opponents (win or lose), and I firmly believe that Loeffler has the offense trending in the right direction. He was spot on when he said the only way to bring his vision of a physical, hard-nosed, mud-stomping, ass-kicking football through recruiting. Thank God that Grimes has received verbals from five offensive linemen. Not tight ends who were destined to be bulked up, moved the line, and floundered. Offensive linemen!

Don't forget DTs! #alltheLewises and hopefully #alltheHopkins.
