Spoke with an individual familiar with the WVU/Big East legal battle. Said ND's early entrance to ACC could benefit Maryland's case.ā Alex Prewitt (@alex_prewitt) March 12, 2013

The UVA one is very appropriate.

The standard for retiring a jersey is oddly high. By that definition, they will not retire Tyrod's jersey either. For someone who owns pretty much all of the QB records at VT, that seems like a shame.
Hes just a fumbler. So him not getting 70% of the carries should have reduced the fumbles.
Edmunds is supposed to be a fumbler. We'll see how that goes....
That's what I was trying to get across... And said it explicitly in my comment, I think.
The fact that Edmounds ran as fast as Coleman and Mangus at 215lbs is the bigger point not necessarily the science of timing.
Let's win the ACC Tournament! Leggo!
Virtually this entire video, but especially the two Wake Forest highlights starting here...
Wake went on to win the ACC that year but got absolutely mauled at home by an angry VT defense and a great showing by Sean Glennon (WUT). Brandon Flowers set the tone of the huge TFL on the first Wake play and then Chris Ellis met Riley Skinner in a dark alley and it wasn't pretty.
Also, absolutely agree on the pre-game moments before ECU 2007. The most cathartic experience of my life and one of my happiest moments as a Hokie.
I didn't include Drew in there for that reason... There's just so many variables on whether or not he'll get here quick enough to get valuable practice time. And even if he does get to VT by Summer Practice, there will be 4 or 5 running backs who have more experience with the offense because they were there for Spring, and some of them since January.
From any of the biographies of the football players whose jersey has been retired:
In 2002, the Virginia Tech athletics department developed a new policy on retiring jerseys. This special honor is bestowed to acknowledge an individual who has won an established national award in their sport, while allowing the number to continue to be worn by others. Tech will no longer retire numbers.
So you would be, unfortunately, correct
from @VTFritz that in order to hang Erick Green's jersey up in Cassell that "VT rules would have to change. Current says they must win an 'established national award' " :(
First American to win the British Amateur in 28 years, following it up with an appearance in the Masters where he represented Tech well all week. I got a real kick out of seeing all the Orange and Maroon wandering around Augusta with him.
According to the airport website its a public airport and mostly used for business executive, researchers, and academia. Members from research companies not associated directly with an athletic conference or even VT for that matter come in and out of the Corporate Research Center located conveniently next to that airport on a weekly basis for business, education, seminars, meetings, etc
But yes also athletics will use the pad from time to time, but it's public it could be anyone.
These airport posts are a little silly sometimes. The excitement that it could be some SEC executive coming to save VT from the ACC or some new name coach is always interesting, but probably not so.
but maybe..
Clustertruck is putting it mildly, but yeah, it was an epic disaster. Again, that's why I'm hoping Loeffler and Grimes can change that with a commitment to returning to brusing running game.
One good thing about last season was the reduction in fumbles lost by the running backs, so maybe the stick and boxing glove thingamig worked. I think Shane got some seasoning, and I'm also hoping he will improve as a coach.
One run Holmes made stuck out in my mind and that's during the Cincinnati game. He finally went ape shit when he crossed the plane, and Armkera with a sweet driving block. I think French made a film review of that game.
In the Miami game, Holmes hit the jet in one of his snap, and got a first down, but was pulled out just as he was getting hot.
I imagine that if Hite was still heavily involved, it could have also led to confusion from the players and some chain-of-command issues.
I can see what Frank was thinking, if Shane was to take over a position that he has little experience with, having Billy around to mentor would be helpful. One could also make the case that RB's coach at VT is about the easiest assignment we've got, we always have RB's. Just roll the balls out, as they say in hoops.
But the end result was a clustertruck. I'm just not ready to assume it was entirely (or, IMO, even mostly) due to Shanes lack of experience coaching the position. Coaches change position responsibilities all the time. I was always shocked at the breadth of experience Cav has had coaching, he's coached pretty much everything. A smart coach can adapt, and having a broad understanding is particularly useful for a young coach destined for HC duties in the (not so distant) future.
It is spring break for both universities.
Party Plane?
That's only the worst logic ever. And I'm not just saying that because Green one, I'm saying it because its awful logic.
Meh. Almost all of VT's academic / research collaboration is with ACC member schools.
This is probably somethign athletic related, but maybe not football related.
This.
Professors, Deans, Board Members, guests for lectures or research events/conferences, etc, travel to and from the university on a regular basis. The airport at Tech is not just used for football related matters. I would make the assumption that most of that airport usage is not football related
Why we have to look like the mountaineer's cousins?
