If I played on the team, I'd be pushing people out of the way to get that face mask. It's mint.
I just hope the tease is that they will retire one of the old school logos in style. Either the "T in the V" logo or the Fighting Gobbler on the side would look sick. I hope it's the gobbler personally though.
He looked really good pulling and looks very athletic. They said he improved even more at Fork Union and I'd love to see his highlights from his prep year.
I feel like this is such a tease as to what they're going to end up putting on the side of the helmets
i for one didnt know md was considered the top receiver prospect in the senior class. he really screwed that up.
Nothing we didn't know already.
Understood and agreed. My point was only that it seems more a like a fantasy than a possibility....but what could be is awesome. Also, I get the feeling Manning will not be here next year either so that is another hit (nothing concrete..just a feeling based on recent comments). Great discussion though. How about similar breakdown on what could be with our future DL or LB's?
I'll give you Ore, he had talent, just didn't seem to have the will to use it. Imoh danced too much and while he had speed, very rarely shook tackles. He would have been a good complimentary back, I think, but Humes, while I loved him, wasn't a #1 either.
even if we whiff on DL next year (which they won't... I would be stunned if they don't get at least Holmes and Walker), a group of Maddy and Harley with Corey Marshall and Dadi Nicolas at bookends, and Teller, Smith, Baron, Williams, and Ekanem already in the pipeline isn't terrible.
Linebacker is an issue. Based on Andy Bitter's article, Edmunds will stay at tailback.
Yea, and he teased all of PSU when announcing VT. It was great.
He was unbelievable when healthy. I just don't know if we have a guy on our roster right now that's as pure of a running back as guys like Williams, Evans, Jones and Suggs were. Even Ore and Imoh were really good.
to establish and offense that can or will score 20 a game, i really hope there is big changes after the bowl game, Frank needs to pull the trigger and get us back where we belong.
Everyone had pretty matte helmets, the sparkly helmets came along with improved TV coverage. In a few years, only teams that didn't have any money (read: MAC teams and ECU) still had matte helmets.
Now, we've seen a move back to not only matte helmets, but white helmets as well. For a long time, white helmets looked cheap because that's what Riddell gave you as the base model. Then everyone upgraded to some type of color.
Personally, the matte looks good and the white VT logo looks good....right now. It'll change.
While I'm sure she prefers when they hit the holes hard and power through, I would imagine she's not afraid to go deep either
i've always hated the sparklies in the helmets. replace those with these permanently and i'd be happy.
Manning was also rated a 4 star (by Rivals... 247 had him as a high 3*). And then of course Jarrett, as I believe was mentioned in the article.
Manning didn't have the best year, but he was a true freshman, and getting into trouble off the field. If he matures and focuses, he's got talent. We'll have to see.
Not that ratings are everything. I think we may have a few underrated 3 stars. But I get your point that we have never had a secondary as potentially star-studded as that would be, and there are a lot more 4 & 5 stars that pan out well than 3 stars. So this would be very promising. If we can field a good squad of LBs and don't whiff on the big DL prospects next year.
Throw some chrome numbers on the jersey and some neon-lights on the cleats and you've got yourself a uniform.
I try to forget Marcus ever played at VT.
They will probably use the VT logo from the homecoming game. I wouldn't mind it on the matte helmet
I'm pretty sure Kevin Jones was the #1 as well. I also think that Marcus Vick was way up there (not that should really count).
in the spread offense.
He is my all time favorite VT RB. Just had amazing vision coupled with speed.
The D-line should have first dibs. Actually, the whole defense. They earned it with how they've played down the stretch.
