Because we're all Sunday morning quarterbacks.
5 amazing games today. We start with a top 25 match up in Dublin and end with an ACC flying all the way to Hawaii. It might be the shortest flight they take all year.
Exciting times indeed!!!
Virginia Tech injury updates from Brent Pry:– RB Terion Stewart did not practice (day-to-day)– WR Takye Heath ("minor tweak")– WR Chanz Wiggins (doubtful for week one)– WR Keylen Adams ("was in the training room")– OL Brody Meadows ("in good shape") pic.twitter.com/fBSKkyDgLr— Kolby Crawford (@kolby_crawford) August 20, 2025
Based on the provided article from on3.com, here is a summary of the injury report for the South Carolina Gamecocks football team:
Incoming transfer EDGE George Wilson is "out for a while" due to a new injury.
This is a significant setback for the team's depth at the EDGE position.
If Wilson is unable to play this season, he might be able to return for the 2026 season.
Wilson, who originally committed to South Carolina in high school, played two seasons at Campbell University before entering the transfer portal.
The news for Wilson comes after Beamer said last week that freshman EDGE Kobby Sakyi-Prah would be out with a "somewhat long-term" lower body injury.
So Auburn just claimed 7 national titles, including the 2004 season where we couldn't complete the Sugar Bowl comeback. I have looked back before and feel like there were two undefeated seasons way back when, but not sure if Tech was recognized by any authority anywhere as national champs. Any history buffs know if we have a claim anywhere? If so, make the claim Whit!
HelmetHistory put together images of all helmets used by all FBS schools, documenting at which games each was worn.
Started this thread as the other started to slow down a bit for me because of the embedded tweets. Tried to only link them here for us to talk about now that its over.
Watching this in the 3rd quarter down 35-14 and knowing how hard we fought to come back and win and couldn't quite do it, losing 42-35 and what an absolute scumbag peice of pervert sexual predator trash scum Deshawn Watson turned out to be...ugh. I'm not gonna say that much more about that guy because of CG, but those of you who have daughters probably agree with me. Still a great game, and a heroic comeback by the good guys. SAM Rogers was the man! Damn...would love to play that one again!
Also Evans, Dragon and Bucky

For the 100th anniversary of the first AP All-America team (in college football), the AP decided to make a team of the best of all of the nearly 2,000 first team All-Americans. Bruce Smith was the only Hokie, included on the second team.
Personally, looking at these lists, I can't really quibble with any of their inclusions, though I think there is a bit of recency bias showing. Do we really think that Tim Tebow and Vince Young are the best two QBs of the last 100 years?
Enjoy.

Saw this post on X by Doug Bowman. It's a pretty in depth thread that goes through the planned talking points with the publicly available slides for the presentation. Pretty interesting and a little depressing at times in looking at where we stand in terms of funding amongst the ACC.
Basically last of the public schools. Anyhow won't go into too much detail on it cause I'm posting from my phone and it's a decently long thread with the slides.
It may be a few weeks away but I just watched the Netflix documentary, and I'm searching for anything I can get to help me make it to the season. Let the hate flow through you my friends.
Shane Beamer thinks he didn't come to Virginia Tech because he'd be known as Frank's Son. Really it's because we laughed him out of the building because of his boxing glove on a stick.
Shane Beamer thinks USC stands for university of South Carolina, we all know it's really for University of Southern California.
Saw this come through and thought I'd share. Good size at 6'4.5" and 210lbs. Not a stellar offer list, but who knows.
It's the return of the macxANDcheese Pry-ssr. I will be bringing y'all these pry-ssr's again this season as my time allows and my stomach can tolerate press conferences. I am trying my hand at an AI-assisted breakdown this season, so if something seems wackier than my usual typos, please call me out on my BS.
Split Zone Duo's ACC Preview Here. VT talk starts at ~51:00.
On SZD, they take a Rose/Bud/Thorn approach to season previews (Rose = good, Bud = you're interested to find out, Thorn = bad).
I decided just to post the transcript here - it's lightly edited for clarity. They had some really interesting discussion about the quality of our transfers and Kyron Drones.
Alex:
Got Episode 1 on right now...Shane Beamer and Les Miles Brian Kelly were featured. Huge focus on Virginia Tech (Frank even makes a cameo), how Shane is trying to climb out of his dad's shadow and no longer be known as "Frank's son".
Leads me to believe that even if him and Whit were on good terms, VT was not a school he wanted take a HC job.
Anyone heard even a smidgen of practice news? Would be great to hear about real football again
They give the Hokies a 12.5% Chance to make the Playoffs. They point out critical games are the two against SEC opponents. The 28th ranking puts the Hokies 4th in the ACC with Clemson at 7, Miami at 8 and SMU at 17.
Creates a dichotomy between the media vote of 11th in ACC compared to this evaluation.
Heads up- we've made some changes to our ODU series! Catch the 🔗 here for more information: https://t.co/k2zAJ41SEx#ThisIsHome | #TeamOverMe pic.twitter.com/50YaZ7S8OZ— Virginia Tech Football (@HokiesFB) July 31, 2025
This should be fun!
Based on SevenLayersofPlayers comment,
"Combine the best of Fuente and Pry and you have a component P4 football coach."
Here's the game: Substitute in your X, Y, and Z data (We'll start with College FB):
"Combine the best of X and Y and you have a component Z."
I'll start:
"Combine the best of Stinespring and Loeffler, and you have a component P4 OC." LOL!
