Because we're all Sunday morning quarterbacks.
Unfortunately starting this thread with some bad news for Chuck Clark. It appears he suffered a serious knee injury (Suspected Torn ACL) while at an offseason workout with the Jets.
- Team Pie: Key Lime, Apple, and Pumpkin
- Played soccer in community college then transferred to Roanoke College (Class of '16)
a. Business Admin
b. I found TKP during marketing management my junior year. It helped me get through class.
c. Got my MBA at Midway University. Sounds like a halfway house...it isn't.

The offseason will get after ya so....
.Wednesday evening at Hotel Roanoke. HUGE crowd, a nearly full ballroom, I'd say 3-4x number of people who attended last year at Salem Civic Center. Also attending were Whit, Mike Burnop, Ron Crook, Derek Jones and Brian Crist. Mike Vick was scheduled but was called to NY to film a Fox Sports segment.
Spoke to Ron Crook- an awesome dude. Super down-to-earth and friendly. Pry was working the cocktail hour talking to everyone.
Some Pry comments:
Stupid new retweets.

I almost posted this article when I started reading it this morning and then Bar1990 posted in French's Tuten film review here about Tuten's PFF and confirmed that it would be a good discussion.

A lot of the same kind of discussion we've seen popping up lately with the Tailgate Series and TKP's own interview. A few pretty interesting nuggets, especially regarding the roster changeover in the portal.

Saw that Tre Turner is with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and being the offseason figured it was a good thread to spark some conversation....
So where are they now?

5/19 update: Since Pry was hired, 22 of our portal entrants have found new schools. The breakdown:10 - FCS or CC4 - MAC3 - P5/ND2 - MWC2 - AAC1 - Sun BeltI would guess that no P5 school has had more transfers to FCS than VT in the last 18 months, either by % or total.— Pete B.

Oof
I don't know how anyone could have expected any coach to come in and win right away in any P5 conference with a roster like this.
What an awful nickname for the group. That alone should relegate us to the ODAC. Regardless, really interesting tidbit here. Our GoR deal obviously sucks so good to see we are working with others to attempt to find a way out. Shoutout to the idiot, John Swofford.
Only omission I see is Duke in terms of what they bring to the table for basketball and some non-rev sports.

This is not a post to poke fun at Bennett. It is more of a question of eligibility.
My perception is that most of Tech's athletes receive their degrees in 3 years. Mostly due to the fact they are attending classes in the fall/spring/summer. Anyone who had been around for 6 years I would expect to either have multiple undergraduate or a masters.
Are their shenanigans going down at Georgia?
For those who don't follow, Kelley Ford created KFord Power Rankings. I think I found him on r/cfbanalytics or in the moon crew discord a few years ago (don't recall). I'm not as familiar with his methodology as I am with Bill C/SP+, so I need to do a bit of research and circle back, but it's the offseason, and I don't feel like actually working, so I decided to share.

At first I thought this was a Mike Young hire.
Any TKPers heading out to Hardywood in Richmond to hear Pry tonight? I will be heading out there shortly.
How about any of the other upcoming stops?
