This story is on the front page of Yahoo this morning. This is what Virginia Tech is all about. Bravo
I'm 6-1, all low confidence. I hate myself and confidence playing.
These are for practice, but the ribbon will be on the back of the helmets. Still no clue what the game logo will be I believe.
Bump for new game helmets picture. (not sure if this was already posted)

7 of 7 so far... should have been betting for real!
Great Article. I really hope the offense shows something positive that we can build off of for next year. Also hope the defense continues its up-swing. They've looked great as of late. GO HOKIES!!
Very excited for a new year!
Even in Panama I saw a VT shirt. Happy Holidays
i received a VT piggie bank from secret santa with my friends, it was more like a smart ass gift from a non VT fan but i still like it all the same anyway... MERRY CHRISTMAS HOKIE NATION!
I hope everyone is enjoying time with family, friends, and got something nice from Santa!
Merry Xmas, Hokies!
Posting from my new Kindle Fire HD!
Very wonderful thing for Antone to do!
Classy move. Combined w/ Tech's decision to honor those from Sandy Hook with the helmet decal, we've already won this bowl season.
May our victories be plentiful.
Makes me proud to be a hokie fan. Shout out to Short Pump/ west end/ Goochland/ Deep Run for putting a great influence on this young man.
Accomplished student-athlete at DBU, rapper, and philanthropist. Good stuff, Tone.
Merry Christmas keyplayers!
balances on their cards as well. I am soooo proud of our guys!! :)
I think the players were more focused on the fact that we were in Vegas than that we were PLAYING BASKETBALL in Vegas. When you factor that in with the fact that they had just played in an overtime game the night before and there was no atmosphere whatsoever, it makes for a bad combination. CSU looked just as bad and out of it in the first half as we were. The reason they were up, though, is because they are far more talented than us when we don't have Marshall Wood. But then they got some momentum going, knocked down their shots and blew the game.wide open. But I think it is definitely clear that the Hokies have gotten away from what they were when they started 7-0. No passing, no defense, not knocking down shots, missing free throws, and in Robert Brown's case, airballing free throws. JJ needs to get these guys' heads back on again. This team has a lot of talent, even with Wood out. They just have to get back to playing like they were.
> Sorry, but playing one game the night before, and then playing the next day is not an excuse to lose.
Two games in two nights, with the first one being an OT game, for a team that has just 7 scholarship players is pretty damn brutal.
yeah because RB's never get injured
With Harris coming in, do we really want Edmunds to stay in the backfield? VT needs one clear-cut starter and one change of pace. JC is definitely the change of pace, so the starter will be Edmunds or Harris. Because they have the same years of eligibility, either Edmunds or Harris is going to be wasted on the bench (or both wasted if they split-carries). Might as well get some help in that LB corps where it is very thin, especially in the Middle/Backer areas.
Sorry, but playing one game the night before, and then playing the next day is not an excuse to lose. The problem with the Hokies can be traced to poor shot selections, mental disciplines, and some fundamental drills that they need to work through. I'll granted this, I didn't watch the game, but having played basketball myself through pneumonia during a tournament, I stuck through with it even if I felt like crap.
It is a well known, and well documented fact that running isolation plays doesn't work. The movement without the basketball, running plays, and not reverting to "playground basketball" are something that they have to practice everyday. Do they? I don't know. From what I have seen in the first few games, I immediately identified some weaknesses for the Hokies. One of them was handling the press, and the other was the simplest fundamental of playing defense - boxing out. Call me old school, but that was one of my best area, boxing out and allowing my teammate who's the best rebounder on the team to collect boards.
Players have to learn all those and live by it. Otherwise, it's going to be an ugly ACC season for them. How in the world are they going to hang with the likes of Duke, UNC, and Maryland, if they don't stick to what carried them through the first few games?
its very appropriate that we're wearing them but it makes me sad to look at
