Slight correction for you, Sam Rogers is Chuck Norris, Bucky is Closer to the Moutain from GoT only taller and faster :)

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
“I served in the United States Navy"

I'd settle for Sam to be Jarrett Ferguson before he becomes Chuck Norris.

Other alias' for Sam Rogers; Drago, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Bruce Lee, etc. Really any living thing that is known for kicking ass

I almost punched a hole in wall when I heard Cline said, "VT has a shot to be one of the best tight end units in the country this year."

Worried about a jinx?

I'm glad we got solid TE's. Now can we get a starting QB and a healthy RB1 to go along with them.

I love seeing the TE used in play action. It drove me nuts when we didn't use it enough in previous years (Jeff King is the only time I can remember us using a TE).

I'm looking forward to them being used in the passing game. I think we could be a solid offense if we can run the ball. That will open up everything else.

Shout out to Jeff King. He was on my intramural basketball team; would have won it all too had football practice not interfered.

Yep, the ol "fake dive and dump to Jeff King over the middle for a touchdown" play. One of my all time favorite plays inside the 20.

Seems to me that we did use Andre Smith quite a bit his senior year. And Greg Boone as well as Sam Wheeler until they forgot about him (or he got hurt, I forgot which).

No, I *don't* want to go to the SEC. Why do you ask?

We don't love dem Hoos.

Then there's Hodges, the redshirt freshman gaining Internet acclaim on Virginia Tech message boards on par with Chuck Norris.

any chance Andy is talking about TKP?

Onward and upward

Didn't realize Cline was the smallest of the three at 6'4" 240 lbs, this is a big group of TE's.

Hopefully with these big TEs and big HBs, we start putting up some big scores again.
