I truly hope this is the last time the seniors play in Cassell. They have worked too hard to not to get their dancing shoes on!
The Duke win was necessary but not sufficient to make the dance. Everyone needs to realize this game is just as or more important than the one against Duke. We need this one.
Those chants were great. I had fun starting / helping out with those. We (the students) had no idea that the real Curry was at the game until the highlights were shown on ESPN later that night. And the sing-a-long for "Who's Your Daddy" was priceless to see on ESPN.
Suck to your liver, take one for the team.
I watched the game at the bar where we watch football games. They didn't have Rogers Pilsner on tap so I went with Sam Adams Noble Pils. We are now undefeated with me drinking 8+ Noble Pils. The Hokies haven't won many game that I have been able to watch this year but I have seen 4 games at the bar and they have won all 4. I will be heading to the bar on Tuesday but can't guarantee the 8+ since it is a school night.
Great pictures, great signs and great chants.
I should have mentioned the "Who's Your Daddy" and "Teabag Paulus" chants were simply fantastic. Thank You Students.
Waiting outside of Cassell all night for gameday was a once in a lifetime event, and culminated with beating Duke. Finally, a whole day dedicated to VT sports paid off.
The random sports sign / chant was hilarious.
Can bloggers actually break that sort of news?
never gets old.
MY GOD WE DID IT
joe is D-RUNK.
It's been a good winter so far.
looks like the staff just confirmed what they already knew.
and VT is no different. I am sure a VT coach at some point has contacted a kid when they weren't supposed to but I doubt very seriously that a VT coach has dropped some cash on a player... at least not with Frank Beamer knowing about it.
The point here is that, while everyone interprets the rules liberally and works in the grey area, some schools are blatantly crossing the line and are almost daring the NCAA to do something about it.
the surface.
if not for twitter, unc would have never been caught. after uconn's slap on the wrist, they'll get away too.
to verbal after the spring game ... supposedly in the bag. last guy i said that about T-good, didn't then screwed us. sigh. If it makes anyone feel better, T-good has bout $500 in VT clothing he has to give away.
And taking our time for more than that done the right way. This crap makes me sick.
I want this "person". Great name and striking looks. As always we have need on the OL, like everyone here has stated, true OL not TE/OL. I know we whiffed this year big time but we need a linebacker or 4. I miss Adibi and Hall more and more every day.
surprises me. We installed the Wild Turkey just to get him on the field, with Tyrod and Glennon both fighting it out things were already crowded. If that's really true you would think the coaches would understand better.
Keith Marshall who is one of the top RBs coming up in the country is right down in Raleigh and I hope that he sees the great opportunity at VT for playing time and decides to come here. There are some good OL prospects in NC including the Stadnik brothers as well as DJ Humphries from the same HS that Kevin Asante is from in Charlotte.
In Virginia definitely want at least one of the top headline players in Eli Harold or Joel Caleb. I'm hoping that Kirven is a lock with all of our connections in Cornell Brown being a standout DL national prospect from the same area that stayed in state with the Hokies making it to the NFL. I will be disappointed if we don't offer Bruce Smith's kid a scholarship. Win Homer would be a huge get for us in that his dad is also the head coach which could pay off for getting future prospects from the school as well as our big need at OL.
For QB I heard theres a really good prospect coming in 2013 from Virginia in Bucky Hodges. Always have to trust in QBs with unique names.
You would think we would have a shot at Devin Vandyke too, with his brother committing to us in this last class. Interesting that there is not many playmakers on the offensive side of the ball. I don't see a QB in there, and only Coleman at RB with 3 WR's scattered throughout. Looks like a very defensive based top 25, but you never know with these rankings...they can always change. A lot of Richmond and 757 talent like always, interesting to see how Shane and Stiney do in their debut's in those areas.
This article should be required reading for anyone who wants to complain about recruiting. I myself am guilty of that. We all know this sort of thing goes on, but explaining it in detail like this puts things into a new light.
we all "know" this stuff happens and JLM just plopped out the how. Calling the SEC the $EC is nothing further from the truth. I've hated Urban Crier for a while but a soft spot just crept up for the man's integrity. Something all but lost. I'm sure Tech has had missteps, blind eyes, etc. Nonetheless, looking at how we take 2-3* kids and transform them into greats goes to show its on a much smaller scale. Klempsum is mediocre at best but gets a top 10 recruiting class the next year because "Dabo is just a hell of a recruiter". Shane, i'm glad you're back but if you bring this shit into our house I won't be impressed. i like the changes but i won't take a shot to the nuts of integrity just to try for an NC.
Yeah JLM totally slaughtered this. I think the majority of us are oblivious to what it really takes to be successful at recruiting. As long as we don't devolve into one of the "players" I'll be happy with our recruiting. We get a lot of projects, but they have a good head on their shoulders and I think that shows on the field.
