is if he were wearing a bowtie. I do have to admit I watched that game and gloated like a madwoman. Mmmmmm, 'hoo tears. They're delicious
According to ESPN.com Recruiting Nation, Green has taken VT off of his list. Granted, ESPN RN is one of the worst recruiting sites I've seen.

ESPN 150 RB Green talks Auburn visit
November, 12, 2012
By Dave Hooker | ESPN.com
Derrick Green is interested in Auburn no matter what.
The ESPN 150 tailback from Richmond (Va.) Hermitage said he would continue to consider the SEC school even if there is a coaching change there.
"Yes sir," Green stated via text message to ESPN. "No question."
When asked if he is worried about a possible coaching change, Green stated, "Not concerned at all."
The Tigers are 2-8 and 0-7 in the SEC after losing to Georgia 38-0 on Saturday. Media reports have claimed the administration at Auburn have taken steps to replace head coach Gene Chizik if the decision to replace him is ultimately made.
Clearly, a new staff would have to build relationships quickly with Green, who took his official visit to Auburn on Sunday. There would be just a little more than two months until national signing day if the current staff is released after the season. Auburn plays Alabama A&M at home on Saturday before closing the season at Alabama on Nov. 24.
The depth chart will be a draw for Green no matter the coaches in place. Auburn needs a power tailback. It's top three rushers are all under 6-feet tall and 200 pounds. Green is 6-feet tall, 215 pounds and only figures to get bigger in college.
"It's a real good chance for me to compete and get early playing time and eventually be that starter," Green stated when asked what he liked about Auburn.
When asked what he liked about his visit to Auburn, Green stated, "That game day atmosphere was amazing."
Green's finalists shifted last week. He told ESPN on Saturday that he is no longer considering Virginia Tech and is now interested in Miami (Fla), which has made a late push for him. His other finalists are Michigan, Tennessee, Ole Miss and Oregon.
Green was originally scheduled to take his visit to Oregon this weekend. He said he has decided to postpone that trip. Green has taken official visits to Tennessee and Michigan. Miami and Ole Miss seem like strong possibilities for future trips.
Green is rated the No. 41 overall prospect in the nation and the fifth-best tailback. He is rated the fourth-best prospect in Virginia.
I don't mind that the t-in-v logo is getting retired. The retro look was cool and all as a throwback but once it started to dominate our look it lost its luster in my eyes. If there is a change in uniforms I hope it's something simple and clean but state of the art. Preferably #ALLMAROONEVERYTHING
He's the only tech receiver that I know of that had better hands than Danny Coale..everything thrown witten's way was caught...steuwe had good hands too
The fact that Michigan has not been great and Auburn has been terrible and will lose their coaching staff means VT probably has more of a shot than we give credit for.
If we hear rumbles that Harris won't qualify, I would not be stunned to see Green commit to VT.
I know that it seems odd that Logan Thomas missed so many critical throws in the first half, and here I am throwing the offensive line and the wide receivers under the bus again. I thought Logan played an inspired game effort wise, but again, his recognition is beyond slow at this point, and he continues to completely lock on to receivers. His first INT on the Fuller crossing route was the only play where he clearly was going to his 3rd option. He was still late, as Fuller was open between the hashes but Thomas threw the longer ball to the sidelines, giving the FSU db time to recover and intercept the ball.
I am working to bring in a friend who coaches quarterbacks at the Division III level to watch the film with me and give me feedback. I feel like I have a basic grasp of the fundamentals of quarterback play, but I am nowhere close to being an expert. I will do a long post either in the offseason or in between the regular season and any bowl game with his feedback.
This year is a complete flip. Other than go-routes, everything that they have run with success has been into the middle of the field in the 8-15 yard range. Slants, crossing routes, and skinny posts with Davis essentially boxing out the defender. Miami started jamming up the short middle of the field, and ever since the Hokies pass offense has been limited. Yes, Fuller had great success against FSU, but at the end of the game (when typical coach logic says take away the sideline to prevent the offense from stopping the clock) FSU zoned heavily in the middle 3rd and Thomas got locked on into throwing a pick.

I'm quickly zip lining back to .500, brutal.
UCLA -- covers by the skin of their teeth. The Pac 12 is as flip floppy as the ACC at times
Texas Tech -- Another good ol Big XII pull on the point slots.
Ohio State -- The B1G is just as drab as the states they occupy
ODU -- They are quickly gaining a lot of support in the Commonwealth. We often joked about them going nowhere, but they're chuggin along nicely.
Kansas St -- DONT F THIS UP KSTATE
Oregon -- No, Stanford you just can't.

Stanford covers that giant spread
he can take an unofficial to VT that is plenty cheap enough .. he'll use his officials for locations that would require significant travel (like michigan, auburn). he's pretty much already stated that .. seems like he is REALLY vetting out his options and thinking things out and keeping his options wide option .. i think that vt is still definitely in the mix
is hard to see through forum posts. I'll be checking it out for sure

Have the routes gotten any better this year? I remember for 2010 and 2011 multiple games with zero middle-of-the-field routes

Mmmmm, Celebration Ale. I love it when I can find a good tasting, high ABV beer in my local grocery store.
shit.
don't watch then (if you had glanced at the writeup, you'd see the channel and time.) I guarantee you the game is better played and coached than the flagship schools.
Perhaps they're considering further tinkering, making the current logo the "throwback" logo? Maybe getting an updated logo is part of a big marketing push. Don't know, pure speculation on my part.

Oregon - when anyone tries to challenge Oregon... the ducks drop 60.
Nah, but I think Tech gets it done by two TDs. Let's beat UVA and hopefully go bowling. BTW, Phoebus beat BC by 44 points in a summer scrimmage.
With the "retirement" of the retro logo, does anyone have a thought/guess/inside information as to whether or not we will be keeping the current uniform scheme of the shoulder stripes and one color numbers? The reason I ask is that the retro logo and essentially retro jersey went very well together and thought maybe it was a sign that Nike would be changing our uniforms again aside from the clear financial reasons expressed by Virginia Tech.

I actually loved the retro-look and I'm afraid that any re-design is going to look god awful...
