Because we're all Sunday morning quarterbacks.
Really looking forward to seeing him take reps this season. Got to shout out to him at season ticket holder rookie mini camp then again at OTA'S 2 weeks ago. Letting him know Hokies down here are excited.

Not sure if this is a full time gig next season so we are searching for a running backs coach or if this is like a developmental assignment. In reading other articles it seems like it's a summertime position.

Who's the best college football program of the 2000's? Ranking the top 25
Kinda wild to not have Bama at 1, but I guess I see their methodology if they are favoring consistency throughout. The Saban era didn't start until 2007 and they didn't win a natty until 2009, so that would skew the whole first decade of the 2000's against them.
As a Hokie fan it's nice to see our name in the top 25, but it also stings a bit knowing how far we've fallen since.

Its offseason. I had a hit from the vape and I came across Shady McCoy doing this for shitt https://www.youtube.com/shorts/697DlErQ5p0
I got to thinking: who are ours?
I posit this:
- MV7
- Bruuuuuuuuce
- KJ
- Tyrod
- Jake Grove
It seems like I am thoroughly disrespecting Antonio Freeman, Kam Chancellor, Wilson, Williams, and DHall (ugh)
Discuss.

Article
I just read an interesting article regarding a newly enacted state law in Tennessee that would give universities in the state immunity from antitrust lawsuits by athletes/others, and shift any liability to the NCAA itself. Apparently the SEC is requiring its schools to sign a "Loyalty Pledge" stating that they will opt-out of any legislation similar to the one in Tennessee, or risk getting kicked out of the conference. It will be interesting to see who blinks first here.

In a historic gesture of generosity and unwavering loyalty, former Virginia Tech football standout DeAngelo Hall has donated $16.7 million to his alma mater to support a comprehensive renovation of Lane Stadium. This contribution is among the largest ever made by an individual to Virginia Tech Athletics, underscoring Hall's enduring commitment to the university that launched his illustrious career.

Fucking amazing podcast by Stephan Godfrey and Parker Flemming (@statsofwar). The talk scheme, they talk advanced analytics, and just general narrative around offensive line.

This summary won't do the pod justice, you should listen yourself, but the big takeaways:

For anyone worried that Metallica isn't well aware of what Enter Sandman means to VT, worry no more. The guy looked like he was just out there having fun.
Would love to be able to bring them in town just to take in a game and experience the moment.

Decent, thorough article on the changing roles in managing college football teams. Some discussion of what other programs are doing.

Reading all this, I would be surprised if our home and home cycle with ND is less than a decade long. Annual matchups with Clemson, as well as potentially FSU and Miami as well?

From Meriden Connecticut, the 6-foot-3, 225-pounder held three offers out of high school before enrolling at Temple in 2022. He appeared in four games that year, using it as his redshirt season.
He continued to contribute in a backup role in 2023. Playing in eight games, he recorded nine total tackles, including a tackle for loss, as well as two quarterback hurries.
In 2024, he appeared in 12 games, starting one of those and recording 25 total tackles, a blocked kick, and a quarterback hurry. The blocked punt came in a game against UConn and was recovered in the end zone by a teammate for a touchdown. He also returned a punt for nine yards on special teams.
