Acceptance speech?

Tyrod was a great leader and a great Hokie, but I don't think we will be seeing his jersey retired. He had a great body of work, but I don't believe he ever won any major national award.

Agreed about Miami. The programs are opposite ends of the spectrum as far as image is concerned. Look at the footage of games going back to the Big East days, even the players don't like each other. Sometimes those games felt one cheap shot away from a brawl. UVA is annoying and easy to make fun of, but Miami gets my blood boiling like no other.

Pitt annoys me for the simple fact we haven't beaten them since Michael Vick was here. I'd love to see rivalries develop more with Clemson, GT and FSU as well

I've never been to Morgantown but that is what I've heard, too. I do miss playing them, though. They won the Sugar Bowl in 2005, finishing 11-1 during the 1st year of Pat White/Steve Slaton, who both entered the game, if I recall correctly, because we injured their QB and RB. Unfortunately, we didn't stop them from winning the national championship that year, because Texas and USC would have played regardless.

So if Loefller is worth keeping, VT pays him around $600k

Yeah, that's my question. If Loeffler is worth $600K, will VT fork out $600K for two Coordinators? And a very highly paid OL Coach?

Indeed. For a while, I had operated under the assumption that the baseball standings were like basketball, given that the season schedule is also a lot more like basketball (play anyone in the conference) than it is football (play your division + 1 from the other division).

This is the same justification I came up with too. I think it would have been a lot easier to understand if they just ranked the top 8 conference winning percentages, but this adds incentive to try and win your division.

Okay, explain this to me because I don't get it...why is UNC the #1 seed, FSU the #2 seed and UVA the #3 seed when UVA has the better conference record than both and a better overall record than FSU? Somehow that just doesn't line up to what I would have expected...

there's that and then there's the "hokie at the moutaineer tailgate" video. they're both pretty entertaining

it's extremely satisfying listening to eers try to rationalize why no major conference within a thousand miles of morgantown wanted anything to do with them.

Well, let's apply the oft-debated criteria for induction. No significant national awards, but...he was ACC POY (2010), ACC Offensive POY (2010), and is a two-time ACC Championship Game MVP (2008, 2010). Led us to three BCS Bowl Games (starter/contributor on three ACC Championship teams), and holds the Tech career records for Total Offense, Wins by a Starting QB, Rushing TD's by a QB, and TD passes in a season. Removing MV7's two-year accolades and MNC appearance, given Tyrod's body of work and imprint on Tech's record books, he is by all-intents-and-purposes the most accomplished quarterback in Tech history.
