I recently watched a ton of videos on Lee Suggs, Kevin Jones and Ryan Williams after Williams left to try to see who I thought was the best of the trio. I was lucky enough to be in school for the first two and needed a refresher course. I think Suggs gets overlooked far too often. He rushed for 1200+ yards and 27 TDs in 2000. Tore his ACL in the first game of 2001 and then returned in 2002 for over 1300 yards and 22 TDs. Would have been near the 1600 mark as well if not for splitting time with the talented Jones in 02. He ran an upper 4.2 forty and could run over people. Holds the NCAA record for scoring a TD in 27 consecutive games!

did DW change to number 22? if so, damn... #4 is one of my top Hokie football favs

I think I'd have to go with KJ over Ru. It's a tough decision, one that I'll waiver on 100 more times going forward. Ru was probably a little more hard-nosed betweens the tackles, but I think KJ had that rare extra burst of acceleration.

Everyone in Lane had to pick their jaws up after this run.

Also, I'd start Jayron over D-Hall.

And this seemed appropriate to put here.

Coach James Tolkan's speech was a total buzz kill after DW22 got me fired up.

"Marinate on that." -- David Wilson.

Lol, as DWilson is going NUTS T.Edwards (Hokies LB) is calmly hanging out....

Someone needs to tape this before Hokies games this season!

Damn I'm fired up!

We graduate more athletes than they do, our graduates average higher incomes than they do, and they still rest on the antiquated argument of not being able to academically accept certain players. The academic gap has closed, while the football gap had widened considerably. Yet, we still bring in good players players, coach them up, and graduate them. For a collective of people that pride themselves on intelligent discourse, they sure seem to ignore the facts a lot. Mike London is coming off as more and more of a pretentious crybaby day by day. Win the PR battle all you want, Mike, it's not matriculating onto the field at all.

And, for the record: Wahoowa is a total bite off of Hokie Hi by the way. There, I said it. I feel better now. Back to being excited about the season, instead of begging patrons to buy season tickets by offering hot dog packages and going on and on about our lacrosse team. Turkey Legs > Hot Dogs.

I think calling it a house is an insult to the palace he's living in. I've been in the neighborhood, it's gorgeous and a stones throw from the country club.

DC looking good. this is a VERY good angle on him. #SUPBOO #FORREALTHISTIME

HD: *don't look at his butt...don't look at his butt...don't look at his butt*..."uh, um...so...wha"
DC: "you just looked at my butt, didn't you?"
HD: *sigh* "yes."

Did anybody else see that freak athlete MD7 almost jump over the TD celebration pile around 8:45. That was great.

The NCAA had better rules and enforcement in place. Frank has run a clean program over his tenure which isn't going to change while we're in the ACC. In the SEC, we A)Can't win the big one. B)Can't win the middle ones. C)Start doing SEC things to keep up with the Auburns, Alabama's, Tennessee's and end up in similar situations. I like a clean program, not one that has to cheat to loose the National Title.

Without better control across the board, it's a bad idea. If everyone was on an even playing field and sticking to the rules...we would be competitive with the Virginia and Maryland talent headed to Blacksburg. Plus, there's no way Auburn or Alabama would enjoy a good November night in Blacksburg!!!!

A good friend and I had the same discussion and my view on the SEC is this: they are a top-heavy conference. Sure LSU, Bama, Auburn, Georgia and UF are incredible programs with storied traditions but what at Mississippi State? Ole Miss? Kentucky? Vandy? South Carolina? Not traditional powerhouses (USCe is coming along but not like the others). I really don't see too much of a middle ground, if you will, in the SEC. UT and USCe are it. On the other hand the ACC is Virginia Tech/Florida State/Miami and Georgia Tech at the top with Boston College, UNC (for now), Clemson, Maryland, NC State in the middle with Duke, UVA and Wake bringing up the rear. A balance has somewhat been achieved more parody exists. That is where I think we would run into a huge issue in the SEC- we would be a middle of the road team for quite a while. But like I said I like the ACC just fine and can see where it could become powerful again.
