yeah i see your point but it may be difficult for him to see much action at rb and we could use another fast option for WR. I hope Moorehead can get the younger guys ready.
You yell "Touchdown Tech" whenever you hear a loud boom.
I have some CFB signed stuff as well. What I meant is that you know you're a Hokie if you have something signed by CFB.
Your neighbors know the outcome of the Tech game simply because they can hear you....even with all the windows closed.
Maybe I'm in the minority on this, but I don't want to see him shift to WR. I'd rather see some of the young talent we have step up. Obviously there are question marks, but with Coles healthy and the leader of the group along with Moorehead's intensity I think we have enough there. It's not like he's been a WR before, he's as much of a question mark as the others and is gone after this year, I'd like to see Coles, Knowles, and then some combo of Caleb, Asante, and Stanford, but I trust that the WRs on the field for us will work hard and BLOCK or else Moorehead will pull them.
Considering his injury history I'd be a little cautious at putting Gregory at any returning (infact, I think one of his first injuries may have been on a return. Can anyone confirm)
EDIT: Checked it. He tore his ACL the first time in 2010 on punt teams in the UNC game. This ACL also bugged him during the next season. With this kind of injury history, and influence on his playing, I don't think he should be playing returns. Stick with him just as RB, maybe WR if we want to shift bodies.
He's also very shifty on film.
I know the defense carries the lunch pail. It's time for the offense to carry a sledgehammer. Bring the lunch pail and the sledgehammer, boys, because its time to go to work.

Great Bitter read right here, I love the last part:
"If we want to have the toughness that we want to have as an offense, we need to demand that," Moorehead said. "Right now, we’re trying to establish that toughness, establish that all those little things that we’re emphasizing in meetings, we’re going to carry it over to practice. And if you don’t do it, we’re going to jump your butt for it."
I love these new coaches more everyday.
The song you sang to your newborn everynight before bed was Tech Triumph....13 years later she still knows the words....
If those tendencies could be coached away, he could be RMFW part deux
Beamer has also beaten Bama, now he just need to do both at once. TAMU (whom I consider a natural rivalry for VT) of course did it last year.
Really!? I hadn't noticed that...
Maybe another thing that Weaver had asked for "in the best interest of fans" was getting UVA and Miami at home the same season. Or something along those lines.
I couldn't be more excited about what I'm seeing from these new coaches. Accountability, attention to detail, toughness, intensity. This is the kind of stuff that we've been lacking for a while and that's been holding us back from being a truly elite program. Keep up the good work, gentlemen.
You and your wife have filled a plastic bin with Hokie apparel so your non-existant children can have vintage gear when they attend VT in the future.
Your friends check in to see if you're alive if your regular 6:30am "GAMEDAY!" text on every game day morning hasn't come in by 6:45am.
You go to bars it cities other than Blacksburg and try to order a Rail. After the bartender says "WHAT?" about 5 times you realize you're not at Tots.
I consider it rude to get married during football season. Pretty much the biggest "Fuck you" you can possibly give to your family/friends.
What about Tony Gregory? I see him getting buried at RB, but he seems pretty fast and one of the more nimble RB's. I just can't see him taking a whole season of punishment as a running back, so maybe this would be the right level of contribution from him.
-You're legs hurt and you have no voice the day after the game
-Lunch pails are more than just a box for food
-An empty trophy case haunts your nightmares
-You never forget your keys on game day
-You believe in the holy trinity: God, Bud Foster, and Chuck Norris
The thing I dislike most about Holmes is that I haven't seen him be explosive even in the slightest. I agree that he may have good vision, but last year he seemed to just run behind the line looking for holes that weren't there. From what I've seen, he doesn't have the speed to get outside and he's not willing to try and truck through someone. If holes are created by this years line he could probably be slightly productive, but I'd still rather go with JCC and Edmunds.
yeah good point. Mangus is a burner. Looking forward to seeing what happens. I can't wait for the spring game
Totally worth it... Giant old keys are the best ones, too!
You have a custom desk hutch with a vt peg board because the ones they sell freshmen just wouldn't do.
You have tech fatheads throughout your house.
You work in the athletic department just to be around hokie sports throughout the year.
For some reason I feel Chris Mangus is destined for punt returns
I have done this at both other colleges and at Pro games.
