Because we're all Sunday morning quarterbacks.
Last night we got off to a strong start to the CFB season. Some may say that the season actually started Wednesday night, but here is official proof that it was actually Thursday:
ALL HAIL THE RETURN OF ALLCAPS!
Here are the rest of the weekend's games:

Didn't see this posted and thought some fellow Key Players may be interested. There will be a free Pep Rally for the William & Mary game starting at 6 pm on College Avenue (which will be closed off).
Once the Pep Rally ends there will be music from DJ TMMPO, The Band Concord (a great Blacksburg Americana band) and California Top-100 hip hop artist Sage the Gemini. There's also supposed to free food, giveaways and more.
All are welcome to attend.
Here's a link for more info:

Short article about Beamer's 28th Season as VT's Head Coach. A lot of questions about when he will retire addressed in here.
I think this comes across, but I really enjoy my job right now. I feel like the same guy I was 10 years ago. ... Youve got things to look forward to, Frank Beamer said. I think Ill know when its the right time. I dont think about it very much. I think when youre enjoying yourself, life is good. When youre not enjoying yourself ...
He paused.
I think Ill know when Im not a positive influence on this program.
Also, some good quotes from Mack Brown and Jim Grobe on Beamer.

I've always been a big fan of new university president Tim Sands, and this morning, he once again proved how awesome he is by tweeting out this excellent grid of shame. Let's all laugh for a bit at how UNC is just a smidge above Penn State in terms of shamefulness.

Almost there. All.. Most. There..
From the Whit gets it file- Yesterday, Hokie Sports reported the Virginia Tech launched a smartphone app, just in time for the season. We can keep up with the other important scores while watching the game, not the other scoreboard hoping to catch the game info we want. Free, its in the iTunes App store and Google Play. Heres some features

Thought you all would be interested in this. David Wilson stopped by practice to talk to the team.
I'll always be rooting for him to succeed.

I was somehow watching the game last night where a Georgia State player got ejected for a targeting call. It had to be the worst call ever. yes the QB was sliding and it should have been a late hit but by no means was a targeting penalty. If that's targeting then Zumwalt should have been ejected as well. Its unreal how this new penalty is going to be called. The softest calls could be targeting and it really sucks. What happened to good hard hitting and pad sounds.

College football kicks off tonight, and plenty of games are on. A few NFL preseason games are also on (in the Northern VA area). From my quick search, Verizon FiOS customers are out of luck as FiOS launched SEC Network only in Florida and Texas. A few other games are also available through ESPN3 online.
EDIT: FiOS customers with Extreme or Ultimate packages and DirecTV customers should have the SEC Network. Feel free to add the channel number in the comments.
6 pm kickoff
SEC Network - USCe vs. A&M
7 pm kickoff
NFL Network - Eagles vs. Jets (two teams whose cheers consist of spelling their names)
Big 10 Network - Eastern Illinois vs. Minnesota
ESPNU - Wake Forest vs. ULM

FYI, we published 5 new posts to the frontpage because we're crazy like that.
What's everyone got planned for this evening?

This year, for the first time in 5 seasons, I've been placed in the North end zone with some friends for the season, and I'm still not quite sure how I feel about it. I've always loved the East stands, mostly because I can actually see the game. However, the North EZ has an appeal all its own, as it is traditionally the craziest, most shiznit-losing section in the stadium (at least it should be). So here's my question for the TKP community: what do you prefer? The viewing superiority of the East stands or the atmosphere of the NEZ?
There's FBS football in less than 24 hours, and Hokie kickoff is in less than 3 days.

What are your way too precise predictions for Saturday's game. Include individual and team stats, scores after every quarter, and whatever else you my desire. BTW, I have way too much time on my hands.
Heres mine:

William & Mary LB Luke Rhodes recently said that,
We (Tribes) prepare our game plan and go into that game expecting to win, like every other game. This is what we're looking forward to. Winning one of these games would be the highlight of our career, so far to this point, we've been so close. One play here, one play there would have made the difference. We realize that. That's what we're looking forward to this Saturday."
Will W&M finally get its first signature win against an FCS program since beating UVA in 2009?

Well it's that time of the year again, every Hokie's favorite time of the year. Football season is a mere four days away and people all over are preparing their tailgates and traveling arrangements to the wonderful southwest corner of Virginia, a place we call home. As is the case every week during football season (and occasionally during the offseason during MASSIVE snowstorms) I like to call in the all-important wild card, mother nature.
