It's like what happened to Ronny Van Dyke. He came in as a safety, but now he's starting at whip linebacker.

I'm positive EA dropped the ball again because they're so vested in madden, NCAA gets the hand me downs.

Just the parts I saw didn't include the new WVU uniform. I'm sure there are other glaring mistakes.

Also, if we don't license the TV logo, how can they use it and still be a licensed NCAA product?

I don't know who has the most uniform combos, but I'm sure we would be up there with 15. And that doesn't include the Hokie feet or camo ones

That would be awesome. I just think it would be awesome to just chat when I am bored at work or something. Would be nice to chat with other Hokies out there who are just as bored LOL

What device are you running on? What's the horizontal resolution, and do you have the browser maximized?

It's debatable whether Bud's 4-3 is actually more of a 4-2-5 scheme. Rovers and Whips could translate as either as safeties or linebackers at the next level.

Yeah, it's definitely because of the whip position. Definitely a hybrid role that translates better as a safety. It's what happens when you just line up athletes on the field, they project to different roles in the NFL.

Oh THAT'S who that is. I am truly excited about this kid. He is indeed a beast (ref. all the Incredible Hulk references). He must have some pretty great leadership and some brains to play QB with the way he's built. That and how he's already been portraying himself; I'm really liking what he brings to the locker room.
Give him some reps and let him be the next VT walk-on who gets All-American and goes to the NFL. Also, when LoganDozer graduates, we will have a solid wild-turkey QB.

Mike London is not a great recruiter nor a great salesman. Look at his blueprint. Many of his 4- and 5-star recruits are from his Thoroughbred connection. I think 4 of 12 4-stars were Thoroughbreds, and I know all 3 5-star recruits are on this roster. Only 1 of his 4- and 5-star recruits have come from outside of VA or MD.

I guess recruiting can sometimes like be finding a job. It's not what you know or how good you are, it's who you know. London better keep up his solid connection with Thoroughbreds and hope no other 7on7 gets more popular in the 757, otherwise it'll be very slim pickings for UVA.

Sometimes our LB's project to NFL safeties better than they do NFL LB's. Cody Grimm was the same way. I want to say someone on here did a more in depth analysis on why but I could also just be making things up in my head.

*edit - It's also why even though CJ Reavis is a safety/db prospect there has already been talk of him moving down into a hybrid LB role with us. Of course that's more a reflection on Bud's scheme than CJ's projected ability.

With an embedded video player live-streaming the game.

I don't know how you would get around the legality of rights of broadcast. Maybe you could embed ESPN3, but I would imagine it would be a headache for the TKP to deal with the Evil Empire. While that would be awesome, I doubt it would be a possibility.

True dat. Also it looks like Sam Rogers, a freshman walk-on, is going to be getting some PT at fullback and H-back.

I think that kid is going to quickly become a Joey Racer-esque fan favorite.

"Official Gameday Thread"s should be a chat box. With an embedded video player live-streaming the game. Instead of sitting in front of the TV and trying to mobile/tablet/laptop to TKP, just put it all in one window and those of us that have to watch most games on ESPN3 can watch on TKP instead.

From newest Hokie walk-on, Sam Rogers, per Beamerball.com:

"Im a believer that big goals bring big results. At Virginia Tech, they flat out tell you that they want to win a National Championship and thats what everybodys working for. At UVA, they talked about wanting to win a bowl game."

I certainly hope Blanding and Brown can help UVa attain that lofty goal.

I hope our coaches keep in contact with them even though they already verbaled, so when UVA has their 'awesome' season and Mizzell gets kicked of the team for drunkenly kicking cars they know where to go instate
