I shouldve said NEXT weekend, not this weekend.
MV7 won the ESPY for "Best College Football Player" and the Archie Griffin Award.
Beamer won numerous national coaching awards in 1999.
I could have sworn it was more, but I don't watch much NFL. I guess it was such a public fumble that they kept talking about it. And, you know, he cried.
Okay, my bad.
Yeah, Coleman is fast. He tweeted his 40 time the other day and said it had improved from last season. But again, to your point, it has to do with who's timing it I guess. There really needs to be a more automatic timer for these kinds of drills. There's way too much potential for human error as you said.
TREADMILL HORSE!
This is from a local paper near me (and Mihota):
A scholarship offer from a national powerhouse hasnāt swayed Massaponax junior football standout Vinny Mihota.
The Panthersā defensive lineman orally committed to Virginia Techāthe first school to offer him a scholarshipālast spring as a sophomore.
But since then other schools around the country have taken notice.
And recently Alabama extended a scholarship offer to Mihota (6-foot-4, 240 pounds).
āItās an honor, but Iām still going to stay loyal to Tech,ā Mihota said. āIt was pretty cool to get an offer from them and to meet [Alabama head coach Nick Saban] and all that, but Iāve got to stay with Tech.ā
The Crimson Tide are the two-time defending national champions. Saban has guided them to three national titles in the past four years.
Still, Mihota said the only way he would back out of his commitment is if Virginia Tech head coach Frank Beamer or defensive coordinator Bud Foster departed.
Mihota said he doesnāt second-guess his early commitment even though he likely wouldāve had a long list of suitors to choose from.
āI knew when I committed to Tech thatās where I wanted to go,ā Mihota said. āI donāt regret that decision at all.ā
Mihota said he is considering enrolling in Virginia Tech early. He will have enough high school credits to depart Massaponax ahead of schedule and enroll in Virginia Tech next January. If he does so, he would be able to participate in 2014 spring practice with the Hokies.
āI would do that just to get acclimated to the whole process,ā Mihota said, āand maybe play my freshman year instead of sitting on the bench.ā
Yeah, it's a pretty great location. We're also trying to get a thank-you party shindig goin for all the Tech fans that come up to support the team.
cody grimm running down the guy from behind and stripping the ball. Thats VT football!
Which is why he's taking the place of Bradshaw for my G-Men. Just ask the Saints if he's a big play threat.
I don't think anyone said its easy and I see your point and it is extremely valid, but it's no fun to compare us to say an FSU or Texas. I'd rather benchmark against the best and see how we can improve to try to match them. Also to your point, if you put our backs behind bama's line they'd be hesiman winners too. You don't think Evans, Williams, and Wilson wouldn't be talked about like Ingram, Richardson, and Yeldon are?
I agree we don't just flip a switch and we have bama's line, but i think you are also discounting that one of their biggest strengths is team play. Everyone on that team knows their job and their line is awesome because they play as a team. I think if Grimes can coach what we have up AND get them all on the same page we will see significant improvement over what we just had.
I'm sure why this is an argument. I think this is an enlightened discussion between fans on a message board that are bored out of their minds because there is no football yet.
Being selected as an All-America will also count as winning a national award. Think is used to be (in football) only for "consensus" All-Americans, but the made the change to retire MV7 and Franks (as a coach).
But Matt Ryan graduating doesnt stop me from saying suck it Matt Ryan when we beat BC.
Technically, this was the year after McNabb and his pukey face had graduated.
David Wilson had 1 fumble in his 71 carries as a New York Giant.
I was going to post this if no one else had. I don't think anybody realized Davis had scored until Skipper went off. At least nobody in my section. We were all too busy celebrating the hit.
I forgot that Deron Washington's mom got more air time than Sonya Curry.
That's amazing. Immediately forwarding to my Hokie friends.
How have I never seen this?
Suck it Donovan Mcnabb.
Natl scoring champ should be considered a national award. And besides, why does it have to be on such concrete terms? That doesn't make much sense to me. If said player wins a national award then he should automatically be in the running for jersey hanging/retirement, I'm down with that but that shouldn't be the only criteria. As stated above, this means that Tyrod won't get honored and that really sucks.
Maybe we won't be the bruiser running team that Bama is, but we can get back to being the best in the ACC (I won't count GT because of the unique offense they run)
How about the Hokiebird using the legdrop on the Syracuse Mascot ala Hogan.
Agreed. Especially when he faces more physical teams, we need other backs to be able to run the ball
Thank guys, turkey legs to you both!
Well after that dunk by Purvis at the end I hope UVA breaks that kids knees.
