National Title Talk, Year 13

By: HokieJoe3 on May 17, 2011, 9:06 AM | 16 comments

We are at the point in the year where students are graduating from college, as I did over 4 years ago, and going out into the real world. Of course these kids are now aspiring to do big things in life as no one wants to just be merely average. In that way I would like to segue to Virginia Tech football in which average has risen to winning the ACC and attainable greatness for the program is now the national title.

"Manny Atkins is as good a kid as we have had in our program for the last eight years," Greenberg said. "It is his desire to pursue a situation that would give him a better opportunity to have a major impact. We will do everything in our abilities to assist him in that process. We wish him all the best. We will miss him as a teammate and a member of our basketball program."

Atkins, a rising junior from Stone Mountain, Ga., appeared in 33 games this past season, averaging 4.9 points per game and 2.0 rebounds per game. He scored a career-high 16 points in the Hokies' home win over Wake Forest on Jan. 15. He averaged 3.8 points and 1.7 rebounds for his career at Virginia Tech, playing in 56 games and making one start in his freshman season.

"I would like to thank Coach Greenberg and the coaching staff for all they have done for me during my time at Virginia Tech," Atkins said. " The only reason I am transferring is to find a school where I can be more of a focal point in the offense. This is a difficult decision because I will miss my teammates. I wish them and the program nothing but success in the future."

Some thoughts on the VT Spring Game from a Central Region High School Coach

By: JLM-Hokie on May 5, 2011, 8:44 PM | 8 comments

I had the opportunity to talk to my friend who coaches in the Central Region tonight and he passed along some thoughts (all very positive) about the VT Spring Game. He attended with a couple of his players and here are some highlights of what he said:

- The VT Staff did an outstanding job organizing this event. In the past, recruits had, for the most part been on their own, but not this time.

Concussions: Watch Out for the imPACT

Editor's Note: Moved to the front page because, well, yeah, read the thing and tell me you don't come away impressed.

You are enduring the elements at a football game: the cold, the rain, and the high winds. None of it matters when you are watching your favorite team play a vicious match. Suddenly, there is a bone-rattling hit on the other teams player. You start cheering because of the ferocity of the hit. The other player doesn’t get up. Concern fills the stands. The player gets up with help, but appears confused and woozy. He just suffered a moderate concussion, which is a growing problem in today’s athletics.

Observations from the Spring Game

By: jpcvt on April 26, 2011, 7:00 AM | 3 comments

In returning to Blacksburg for the first time since the ECU game last year, one question kept coming to mind: Why the hell do I not come back more often? I made the bookstore rounds, watched the sun go down at the pylons, visited the April 16th memorial, ran into Macho Harris walking downtown, got my picture with Bruce Smith, demolished a Kabuki dinner in Christiansburg, and got to see some sloppy, but promising, spring football.
