ChemP is now Hahn Hall? I thought there was already a Hahn Hall?

It all depends on what he gets the first time, or the second, etc.

I remember, when I was in high school, I took it once and got my scores back in enough time that I could schedule a 2nd and 3rd if I needed, but I was happy enough with my scores and didn't feel the need to take it again.

off the top of my head. . . miami 09?

So you are telling me that we lose the #1 recruit who just so happens to be from Virginia because we don't offer Underwater Basket Weaving as a major like the SEC does... WHO KNEW!?

WE NEED UNDERWATER BASKET WEAVING

Wow Those all Maroons are sillllly...we gotta get'em going again. Those are absolutely perfect its been forever, does anyone know when the last time we wore them was?

I haven't seen him play so I have to go by what I have read. He is listed as a dual on 247 and a pro on rivals. I'd believe 247 and your witness account more so.

You're comparing a high school athlete to a highly touted college quarterback and a superbowl winning quarterback. Bad comparison - this is high school football we're talking about where the fastest kid on the team lines up at qb and runs past everybody.

I watched him play last year (Did you?). Just take my word for it that he's not a pro style quarterback. Maybe he has the skillset to be one one day but as of now, whether the recruiting sites said he was or not, he's an athlete that played quarterback. His throwing motion is ugly and he ran too much (both on designed runs and I'm faster than everybody so I'm just going to run runs).

Edit: Nothing against him at all. I'm glad we have him and I think he has the potential to be good. Just saying, right now he's not a pro style quarterback.

Long time lurker (and long time Hokie!), first time commenter. Great site, BTW!

Class of '79, fellow Hokies!

...am I the only one who thinks Bud Foster could make these guys into a Top-10 Defense?

I dont know who got more airtime, him or the Hokie Spartan

No sarcasm here. I was at vt before all of that stuff.

It's so far away...

Parking decks! ...Parking decks! ...Parking decks! (If I knew how, I would insert Jim Mora's famous playoffs rants here)

#IwasatVTbefore they paved the commuter lots!

Note that before I say anything, I'm wary and trying not to be a victim of your possible sarcasm... but... you need to go back to Blacksburg.

So does Logan, but that doesn't make him dual threat. Ben Roethlisberger scrambles effectively but he isn't dual threat either.

Yea trust me as someone who watched him play a few times last year, he's not a pro-style qb. He's very athletic and ran a lot. At least at the games I went to.

Al Gore- what a guy! Created the internet, warned us all about global warming (while flying in his private jet) and single-handedly defeated ManBearPig.

Don't forget the striped beanies! Also, speculation on what the guy on the far right is holding? Maybe an old beat up lunch box in a bag?

One of my formative memories of VT football was the VT-Miami game my freshman year, 2003. The maroon uniforms just gave the team this intense look, like a cloud of doom swarming towards Miami at every chance.
