Solid Verbal VT season Preview
It's season preview SZN!
The analysis was mid at best, but Dan and Ty (1) are high on the Hokies (like... 8ish wins high) and (2) shouted TKP/French's article on Seifkis so ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN!!!
TLDR:
Because we're all Sunday morning quarterbacks.

So fucking sick and tired of the SEC narrative. These assholes can't break away and form their own national championship fast enough.
"You have to invest in football, because that drives, that is the engine, as we've said over and over again, that is the engine," Williams said. "Without a clear investment in football that is visible, then, whether it's conference realignment or media rights or television deals or sponsorships, if you don't invest in the primary driver of this entire industry, then you're sending a message that you're you don't want to be a part of a national landscape moving forward, and we certainly want to be a part of the national landscape moving forward, and that starts with a proven track record of investing in the primary revenue driver."

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.

Virginia Tech Football: Five Bold Way Too Early Expectations for the 2025 Season
Fifth the most likely, 1st the boldest.
5. Under 115 rushing ypg allowed
4. Hokies lead the ACC in total sacks
3. 3 All-ACC Hokies offensive players
2. 425+ ypg
1. Kyron Drones 3:1 TD/Int ratio
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.

"These guys are in trouble, and most everyone expects there to be a staff change at the end of the season or earlier."
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:
It seems like I am thoroughly disrespecting Antonio Freeman, Kam Chancellor, Wilson, Williams, and DHall (ugh)
Discuss.
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:
"Miami allowed 30.8 points a game in 2024 ACC play. Miami started upgrading their defense earlier this offseason with the arrival of new coordinator Corey Hetherman DC from Minnesota (via Rutgers LB, JMU DC/DE, Maine DC, ODU RDC/LB/OLB) , along with a couple of portal additions up front and in the secondary in the first window."

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.
