The drainage system is one of the best in the country, and the way the field is built, raised off of the actual foundation, no water actually accumulates for the most part. So I would say no, it won't affect the game if it rains today. Check out this article from when the changes to the field were made if you're that curious.

I'll comment. Orange Team looks beyond stacked to me. Guess we'll see how they decide to run things.

Historically, it has been. Look at what Cody Grimm accomplished at that position. Output from that position has dropped off since he left.

RVD has the skill set that Foster likes, the ability to be physical as well as turn and run with recievers. The past couple seasons he hasn't had that guy, so he's brought in nickelbacks. Putting Fuller (a CB who can tackle well) at the nickel spot highlights the skill set Foster likes out of a slot defender.

Here's the thing on both the Curry brothers - while they were both very good high school players, there was a reason that both of them had very few offers coming out of high school. Both were small, thin guys who weren't overly athletic... that doesn't usually bode well on the college level for players becoming high-level performers. There's so many unknowns when it comes to scouting high school basketball talent, it's unfair to make the past seem like huge errors in judgment. While both the Curry brothers were great shooters in high school, does that always translate to the college game where the athletes are better (especially in the ACC conference)? Not necessarily... for all we know, getting passed over by major college programs turned Stephen & Seth players they have become.

Here's my take on the whole situation: I don't fault Greenberg for only offering Stephen a walk-on spot. People are also forgetting Munson's pedigree at the time... he was PG on one of the best teams in the nation (DeMatha) and he actually played pretty well in his one season at VT. Unfortunately, homesickness & April 16th were both factors in his decision to transfer, so there's a million 'what-if' scenarios to go through.

With all that said, there's no reason Greenberg shouldn't have offered a scholarship to Seth. After seeing the player that Stephen became at Davidson (and how he grew 2 inches in college), that should have been an indicator that Seth could have a similar career arc. Of course, we didn't offer him anything other than a walk-on spot either, so he ended up tearing it up at Liberty before transferring to Duke.

Heavy thunderstorms predicted today but sunny Saturday. Could today's rain interfere with game tomorrow, or do fields drain well enough so game goes on?

Is it? Didn't seem like whip was even on the field much last year. does the new 4-4 Foster defense evolution have less whip?

Thanks! Made them myself with my mom and grandpa's help for my Dad as a Christmas gift! A TON of work from the painting aspect.

Nope...I'm a girl too! Glad to see other women on this site who love VT just as much as I do. :)

So what you're saying is we should walk in one gate, walk out another and just repeat with different gates all day?

I will probably be on site around 11am, may hit up the softball game briefly, and I will head into the stadium around 1pm.

Well, if you see these cornhole boards you'll know it's me:

This is Magnificent!

I can't help but think of VT as the Starks though. Frank has always seemed to typify Ned's honor to me. Even in the face of the unspeakable (losing your head/games), Ned/Frank, always stuck to their moral code (giving Cersei an out/holding onto coaches he felt loyal to), despite literally everyone yelling at him to do the opposite. Just my two cents.

Hope not. If he can be a play-maker at Whip, he'll never move. That's a really, really important position in Foster's scheme.

I'm wondering if RVD moves to Backer next year to play next to his brother at Mike.

UT has the cockiest fans who cannot stop bringing up their national championship and how we don't. If they win one game they think they're the best in the nation.

If you haven't heard the song Hokie Top on youtube, I highly suggest taking a listen. Written by a local radio station.

I'd love to have a better way for thos rivalry to play annually.

Yeah, there really isn't any competition for him right now. Dinardo and Trimble are both players that have switched positions a bunch of times and aren't really a threat for his spot. At this point point like philly said, no news is probably the best news right now.

Probably a throwback pic since he is in town. Just saw him swapping numbers with LT3. Glad to see someone from my high school doing big things.

Ok that's what I was thinking but wasn't sure because I never really saw the boise ones up close. I was wondering why he posted it recently. Guess it was just a throwback
