I hope the 'breds don't get word of this and try to sabotage us. I feel like they're so vengeful at this point that they'll stoop to anything. But either way, I like the connection we've made. Maybe Frank should do more personal visits to keep our rep up.

Derring Hall says hello.

Notre Dame might be coming aboard this summer, why shouldn't Louisville? I know it would "disrupt" the football divisions, but we could just kick Maryland to the curb and welcome Louisville in their place, just plug their schedule in as Maryland and call it a party.

At least, I would much rather play Louisville than Maryland at this point. That would be a pretty awesome trade, and it would have the potential to be that "night game" we all want in November.

(Note: I know there's no actual chance of this happening, but it's fun to think of what might have happened if things had transpired a few months sooner, ie Maryland agreeing to pay the full $50M, and this new development with the Catholic 7, etc.)

Thanks for the comment. I agree that Manning is ready to contribute, I just don't think that he will be THE contributor if Exum can't play.

Welcome to The Key Play!

I read that last sentence in Paul Bettany's voice. "the one, the only, SIR Ulllllllrich von Lichtenstein!"

I must say this post was a relief after all the anti-VT stuff floating around on Twitter. + 1 for you and +1 for our reputation in the 757.

Kendall Fuller without a doubt in my mind! But I think Manning will make an impact this season. I think he has matured a lot both on and off the field. Also he has put on some much needed weight. I follow him on Instagram and he posted a picture of the scale with his weight at around 180, and he commented that he was 137 when he enrolled. I think he'll be ready to contribute.
GO HOKIES

I understand the concern about every-down players being on special teams, but isn't that what made Beamerball do great things in its heyday? Eddie Royal, Justin Harper, Macho Harris returning kicks... Lee Suggs, starting tailback at the time blocking a punt...

I think that with more depth/talent coming in on the secondary this year, maybe Kyshoen could stay with the PR duties. Either that or everyman Kendall Fuller can take the job. I just think the potential reward is greater than the potential risk in this case. You don't want to keep a weapon like Kyshoen stowed away collecting dust when he could be gashing the competiton. Or Kendall for that matter when he becomes a staple on the defense.

At this point, it doesn't matter if we win or lose this game. Hokies fans still need to show up to send the one, the only, Erick Green off to the NBA with great support.
