# | File this under "HUNHH?" ACC games in London??!! (England, not Kentucky, folks) I mean, if we want to make London suffer by forcing them to watch BC/Wake, then sure.

# | File this under "HUNHH?" ACC games in London??!! (England, not Kentucky, folks) I mean if Duke, Wake Forest or another lesser ACC football team surrendered a home game I would be ok with it. It would be good to get the brand out. But if it meant one less game in Lane I would be pissed
Just wish he wasn't a soft verbal at the moment. He is still planning on visiting Ga Tech, as he has never been there. I'd feel much better about his influence and his commitment if he was a stronger verbal and not planning other visits.
Wow! I loved Travon's highlights, he reminds me a lot of Tyrod. I wouldn't be so quick to switch an incoming Tyrod to safety or RB. Beamer has had most of his success with mobile QBs, and they're in favor in the NFL as well. Tech has always had a hard time getting top in-state QBs to commit; Loeffler and the new staff are paying dividends on the recruiting trail already!

# | File this under "HUNHH?" ACC games in London??!! (England, not Kentucky, folks) Would you really want to give up our annual victory over their soft football team?

# | File this under "HUNHH?" ACC games in London??!! (England, not Kentucky, folks) SACRE BLEU!
After watching all the draft stuff thus far I started to think about next years draft and what VT is going to lose next year. Wow. The more you think about the potential the upcoming seniors have and if they play to that potential there could be a bunch of early rounders and many that could potentially at least make practice squads for NFL teams. Thomas, Coles, Exum, Gayle, Tyler, Edwards, Fuller, Hopkins, Collins, Miller. Now granted most of these guys are not going to make it but if they played lights out and up to their potential we could have a "special" season and all have the potential to be considered.
I know last year was a rough one but we do have a bunch of quality seniors. It is really sad to think that next year we are losing so many starters. It is a lot to ask for this to be our year to make another National Championship run but why not? We have quality players that if they come together as a team with good leadership and a nasty attitude, then we could be mighty.

# | File this under "HUNHH?" ACC games in London??!! (England, not Kentucky, folks) What a truckload of manure! There is NO interest in football overseas, and minimal interest in basketball. This is just a ploy to gain exposure, plain and simple. Notre Dame's roadshow in Dublin was just that; I'm sure they had to give away tickets even to get the attendance they had (ESPN listed the fans at 49,000, "mostly visiting Americans".) If they want to try a game over there, do it with basketball, but definitely not with football (less exposure, more people and equipment to transport.)

# | File this under "HUNHH?" ACC games in London??!! (England, not Kentucky, folks) The bigger question is: will the Londoners know that Mike London is an ex-cop?

# | File this under "HUNHH?" ACC games in London??!! (England, not Kentucky, folks) France would probably just straight up surrender to Foster and Grimes
We are struggling with linebackers. We have some offers out to a few highly ranked kids out of Illinois, but we probably won't even get visits. We have a decent shot at Melvin Keihn out of Baltimore, but some see him as a DE. One of our big recruiting issues has been LB because of Foster's system somehow dampens NFL projectability.

You also asked about OL, and there is slightly more optimism there. We really like Nolan Kelleher out of SC, but some say he is waiting on a Stanford offer. The big fish we are working hard is Damian Prince out of MD, but he's going to have his pick of places to play. We like Mike Herndon out of Staunton a lot and stand a good chance to get him (I've seen him play multiple times, he plays MLB on defense...has good feet...nasty demeanor....would be a nice interior lineman). Maybe there is a chance at a guy like Brock Ruble out of MD who is a UNC legacy, but seems to be pretty open. Otherwise, I'm not freaking out about OL yet because of two reasons: 1.) Grimes knows what he's doing and will do a better job at evaluating than we usually do, and 2.) We like some of our young players a lot (McLaughlin, Pfaff, Conte, Taraschke).

# | Bitter blog - Davis, Fuller hoping to hear names called soon at NFL Draft I've been always surprised Taylor has seemed to be dropping more and more. For most of the season it looked like he would be our best drafted player. I know his combine wasn't the greatest, but it wasn't terrible. And he had a good game in whatever he was in (East-West?)
I get chills everytime I hear "From the Blue waters of the Chesapeake Bay to the rolling hills of Tennessee, the Virginia Tech Hokies are on the air!" Roth is one of the best in the business.
No problem in my mind with this, but I've never felt "pidgonholed" here. Always felt free to address whatever came up. TKP is all things to all hokie fans.
Depends on what part of architecture you are looking at and what ranking system.
Arch Record has the undergraduate program at #3:
http://archrecord.construction.com/features/Americas_Best_Architecture_S...
Here are the Design Intelligence rankins for all of our architecture programs:
http://www.di.net/articles/big-shifts-in-design-school-rankings-for-2013/
VT posts all their rankings here:
http://www.vt.edu/about/rankings/
Even has the food as #2.
So it really depends on what list you want to look at, but I would say like top ten for all programs in architecture.
I remember when I started as an ME and went to Interior Design, was happy that I didn't go down in a ranked program.
I like that list. If Al Davis were still kicking I'd say Davis would be a lock to go tonight. I think Bruce gets draft late too. I think he has too much character and football sense for a team to not take a late flyer on him.
I say Fuller goes first, then Painter, then Davis. Becton might squeeze in the 7th with as many tackles are being taken.
It's recruiting, so you never know what will happen until the LOI is faxed in (and even after because the kids still need to qualify.) With that said, I'm not too worried.
Personally, if I committed somewhere I'd take all of my official visits, and make everyone think they had a chance at me so the red carpet gets rolled out.
