Turkey Track/Hokie Bird combo helmet!
I would like a simply glossy VT. similar to duke's matte helmets:
jeeez finally some more maroon
obviously 2010 wasn't our best year since we were 40th in passing D (partially due to our D line getting little to no pressure) but I have fun watching all those INTs from this squad:
While I love a solid pass rush, there is something comforting about knowing you have a suffocating secondary (again, not saying 2010 was that). I agree we will be deep with talent these next few years.
These are awesome. I can't wait until the slap the turkey tracks on one side and the giant cartoon crap Hokie bird on the other...I agree that they will go with the white jersery/orange pants to top the look off...
Love the matte look but if they put something stupid on them......... :/
Great! Now, please don't slap a shitty depiction of the Hokie bird on one side and a tiny number on the other!
These need to be used for #ALLMAROONEVERYTHING next year. Nothing shiny, just bold matte helmets. Also, they better make these available to buy because now I want one. I've wanted these matte helmets since the black matte ones against Boise.
or the white jersey orange pants combo they love so much...
with our luck this will be the uniform though:
but hey it's all maroon right? RIGHT?
Seems too far away, recruiting is too unpredictable.
For a truly great defense with all of the 4-5 star talent in the program, committed to coming in 2013, and available in the 2014 class. Bud has certainly made stars out of a number of less talented athletes, but we shall remain cautiously optimistic for the future. The D-line and the D-backs should remain a strength for 3-5 years, now if the backers can produce, we should at least get back to the ACC championship game within the next 2 season. Just need to find us an efficient OC who can get us 4 TD's per game or more.
Motuapuaka is quite undersized, but arrives in a bad mood.
I was surprised (happy?) to see 247 list our last 3 recruits (by their mysterious "score") as Moss, Matuapuaka and Jerome Wright. I think of those three, at least one will be a very good player.
I'm not going to call anything an "All-time great" yet. Last year looked like it was going to be the best defense we've ever had on paper and the defensive line got beaten around in a few games. Hopefully these kids will all pan out, but I'm gonna wait to see them play in a Tech uniform before I say anything about them.
Another good quote from Dodd's article, "'You can't start a network with 10 games,' an industry source said." If I read the ACC release correctly, they have the rights to 0 games, which is why I'm baffled as to how they'll pull a TV network off, at least right now.
It seems like the Big 12 is perfect at 10 teams for now, but when it comes time for them to sit back down at the table, maybe they think they can score a better deal with 2-or-more teams in the fold.
If you follow recruiting, which based on your comment it sounds like you do, then you know any conversation has the caveats of 1) verbal commitments are not binding 2) players need to qualify. We don't feel the need to include them every time.
...in that the regional high school systems should not hold our offensive our defensive identities hostage. Hire a coordinator that has a system and recruit to it, don't implement a system that plays to todays trends. What is popular in virginia hs football today will not necessarily be popular five/ten years from now.
Again, I don't claim to be any kind of insider. Loved Fisher's film, and he showed enough in camp to drive Nick Saban/Kirby Smart crazy. I can't tell you who is going to qualify. It isn't my place to guess. Same with who will honor their promise.
Right now, Fuller, Fisher, Clark, and Harrison are committed. Shane Beamer's top target is Revis, and Thomas Dale has been a strong base for VT lately. Manning, Frye, Tookes, and Riley are in the program, and it seems like all but Manning improved in the eyes of the staff this season. Depth means someone can wash out, and they don't have a situation like this season. I will take it.
Looking at all these names is like football porn... Oh god yes. Please let them all come to the Burg... Dominant defenses will win us a championship eventually. Just give us an offense that can score at least 20 a game.
Making a couple pretty big assumptions there aren't you French? It sounds as if Holland is a long shot at best to qualify. And I've heard many believe that Harrison will not stick. It would be a great group, but we'll probably never get to see it.
There is little doubt that French60Wasp's posts are anything less than the very best posts on any blog that I have ever read about VT. I just want to see theese damn stars turn into damn wins, and a NC trophy on the side wouldnt hurt either.
I trust her for some reason.
what we were talking about for some reason....
1. Convince Beamer to retire
2. Hire Oregon's OC as HC
3. Hire Oregon's OLC as OC
4. Win
Right? Right?
The helmets look fine, but no VT on the side??
I am so sick of the constant uniform changes.
