Because we're all Sunday morning quarterbacks.
Currently there are 39 states that allow high school student to participate (and profit) in the NIL landscape without forfeiting their high school eligibility. Among the states that don't allow (public) high school students to participate are Alabama, Indiana, Ohio, Texas, and North Carolina. I'm sure they all have their eyes on this case that was filed in NC recently...
Can't believe Monday of game week is almost over and we have not started a Hatin' on thread yet.
Do your worst TKP!!!
Now that we're under a week to play, i wanted to have some fun with hot, and not so hot, takes about the upcoming football season. We've gotten all the input from the fall camp. We've seen the possible shifts in lineups. Now, it's time to wildly speculate. A little justification never hurts with a take. But, sometime
As a scale, I've chosen the BW3's wing sauce (I would have used PKs, but they don't order theirs by heat level). We'll be skipping the rubs. A dry rub doesn't really equal preseason excitement.
Don't just give us one take. Make one for each level.
And now, to kick things off:
Looks like Hokies have three guys playing in CFL this season.
Woody Baron Toronto Argonauts
Tyjuan Garbutt Winnipeg Blue Bombers
Jordan Williams Toronto Argonauts
Was watching a game today and swear they have made their end zones bigger. Looked like they were 25 yards deep.

That's gotta be the worse addition or upgrade to a stadium I've ever seen. You can't take any program seriously that tries stuff like this.
We're back, folks.
Anybody watching Georgia tech Florida state in Ireland right now??
It's been a long time since we've been able to get excited about a football season in tandem with our program trending in the right direction. Suffice it to say, I could not sit idly by. Here's my 2024 VT Hokies Football trailer. Get pumped, get loud, and share this with any and every Hokie you know. Enjoy! Let's Go....
The: -1 ex-State champ @ current State runner-up.

And, p'ton swiped their #1 in-state De1 in the off-season on the D.L. wowow some, mo'. If there was ever a neighborly scrum that could turn suddenly real... this is the one.

Which of you TKPers will be heading to Nashville next weekend for the Vanderbilt game? I've been to Nashvegas before, so I am familiar with navigating that scene. However, I have never been to or near Vanderbilt's campus, so I have no idea what to expect in terms of parking, tailgating, and general gameday experience. Any recommendations/things to watch out for?

Interesting that Brumfield made captain in his short time here - not a whole bunch of surprises otherwise. Seven seems like a whole lot of captains

Also, David Cunningham reporting that the Chaplin-Ghannam-B. Moore-K. Moore-Clements line combo continues to get the number one group work on OL.

Note- Thomas Williams is working in the second defensive back group at corner. Note, in our TKPC film review of the secondary, I noted that Williams looked the most polished of the prospective second group of corners.
Mark your calendars, August 21 is the day a chill is in the morning air. Football season is around the corner (Hopefully this lovely air isn't localized to the DMV.) . I'm looking forward to publishing some football content next week and enjoying what stands to be an exciting season.
I went down a rabbit hole on Wikipedia earlier today when I was bored out of my mind at work (eleven days to kickoff, amirite?).
The College Football Hall of Fame Wikipedia page lists a table of "Players by School" and I looked on there and saw VT wasn't listed. I thought this couldn't be right because I remember specifically hearing about Corey Moore and Frank Loria being included. So I went on the list and did a CTRL+F search and found Moore and Loria and a total of 5 players from VT have been inducted. I'm also a little irked that loluva is on the table showing their 5 players yet we aren't on the table.
I know nothing about editing Wikipedia but I guess my questions are:

He was on the Butkus Award watch list. With Drones ability to run between the tackles, this is a big loss.
ESPN published an article about Kalen DeBoer succeeding Nick Saban and Justin Fuente shared some perspective on why it didn't work for him with the Hokies.
https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/40858871/alabama-coach-...
Fuente said that Beamer couldn't have been more supportive but that maintaining the right alignment at the university among administrators and others in the department was the most difficult challenge.
The 4* WR out of Mt Tabor, NC chose the Hokies over both UNC and NC State.

Went into their state and got their guy. Huge get for the staff and a big pull the staff to get him to commit over the in state schools.
I stumbled across this in my YouTube feed. Triumph NIL putting out a player-led Podcast. The first came out yesterday, featuring Drones, Jennings, Felton and Lane.
