# | Sam Rogers Named Starting Fullback for Alabama Game and more Depth Chart News There used to be a street named Sam Rogers. They changed it because no one crosses Sam Rogers and lives.
I'm not a believer in what happened in the past is predictive of this team. It's all independent. I just look at the teams and think we probably have better talent + coaching than everyone but Bama. I'm also a big believer in the experienced QB + strong defense = winner equation.
Finally, I think this team has talent, a lot of it. On par with the '99, '00, '03, '05 and '10 teams. You will notice two things from that list: we stunk in '03...but our talent was very high. We also succeeded greatly between '06 and '09 but our talent was not that high. Why? A lot of reasons, but QB play, defensive play and competition are big components.

Will be visting my old man this weekend who works for a beer distributor so should have copious amounts of good brews to consume.
I did have it off, but working for Uncle Sam, stationed in Europe. Recently went to 12-on/ 12-off shifts, and looks like we will stay busy

I am so excited about this guy. We desperately need this mentality on our team. He is going to elevate the play of everyone else. I predict right now that this 2013 Hokie team will shock college football this year. We have some very interesting elements coming together.

well done.
My thoughts exactly. We have decent talent at every position...talent that tech has had in the past that has come together for 10 win seasons. It can be done, but it's about showing up every week ready to play hard. My worst memory from last season was watching Cincinnati jump and sprint down the field with their fourth quarter fists pumped in the air and seeing tack in the background just lazily making their way down field. I remember the years when just the opposite was true...tech has their energy back, it seems...every game is winnable.
Exception: Joe during football season.

# | Sam Rogers Named Starting Fullback for Alabama Game and more Depth Chart News Sam Rogers once got in a knife fight and the knife lost.
Couldn't agree more. With the schedule we have, everything after Alabama in winnable, but having been a VT fan for long enough, I know we won't go 11-1.
People tend to forget we have 4 days in between games before GT, that's not a great situation at all when facing the triple option and IMO really puts us behind the eight-ball against them. It will take quite an effort for us to win that one.
I say we split UNC and Miami realistically. So you're probably spot-on with everything I see here.
We will learn a lot about this team week 3. I don't think it's going to be fair to judge them against Bama because any weaknesses we'll really be magnified. However, anything that we do particularly well this week likely will be a huge strength for us (i mean if you can do it well against them you can probably do it well against anybody). Week 2 against WCU is a laugher probably and really won't show our true talent. ECU is good, they know us well and play us hard so that should be a fun test.
I know we all want to think every year we have a shot at a BCS bowl or going undefeated, and I do think we have the chance to win every game we play this year, especially after Alabama. But if we are being "realistic", we have to look at facts.
Our offense is extremely unproven. We have a young line, no obvious standout at RB, a QB who looked pretty mediocre last year, and a WR corps that is very inexperienced. Our defense looks good, but they have some injury issues and some young guys in key roles. That is being realistic.
If we win 9 games this year it's a great season. If we win 10+ I'd call it vastly over achieving. If we win the ACCCG and/or go to a BCS game then we struck gold and our entire coaching staff deserves a huge pay raise. It's all possible but let's wait to see them actually play before we give them too much credit.
I'm not trying to be a negative Nancy, but if the point of this thread is to be honest about what we see then that's how I see it.
AJ McCarron's 'body art' is a giant temporary tattoo.
I wonder if this was taken before or after the cat fight with her sorority sister.

This site/community really is great. I was telling my uncle the other day about TKP and he had never been to the site before. I told him that there is high quality analysis/articles and the community in itself is bar none. In my opinion, this site is much better than other Tech sites (like TSL) since you don't have to pay a fee, the forum topics are better, the articles are just as good, if not better (especially game analysis), and UVA is openly poked fun at. My favorite website on the internet, no question in my mind. I'm on this site daily.
AJ McCarron uses the phrase "no, your OTHER left!" every chance he gets.
The scariest part of this is Newsome returning.
I apologize for the accidental downvote. I promise to now follow your posts religiously and upvote anything and everything for the next week.
