ACC Media Weekend questions
Hey guys and gals,
I'm headed to Greensboro for Sunday and Monday's ACC media sessions.
If you have any questions you'd like asked, or a topic maybe you feel should be addressed by Beamer, Maddy or Willie, put them here.
I can't guarantee I'll be able to get them in, but I'd like to have a good feel for what our readers want to know.
You can also hit me on Twitter if you want to interact one-on-one.
Not like that.
Maybe for the gals.

ACC Meetings / New Jerseys...
With the ACC Meetings coming up, don't the players normally wear jerseys for photo ops, etc? Will we see our 2014 Jerseys by the end of this week? unveiled at ACC meetings? Players will just wear old jerseys until Tech/Nike are ready?
I thought i had heard change was coming, but maybe that won't be until 2015 since it's already mid-July and nothing has leaked...

Michael Brewer is Vanilla Vick
Michael Brewer hasnt even played a down yet for Virginia Tech but he has already picked up a cool nickname from Mook Reynolds: Vanilla Vick. If Vanilla Vick has as good a season as Mike Vick , the Hokies can get back to elite level.
What Hokie has the coolest nickname?

Playoff Trophy Revealed
http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/11213662/college-football...
The unveiled the trophy for the new playoff system.
Any thoughts (besides how good it would look in Blacksburg?)
At first glance, I thought it looked like a Georgia O'Keefe painting in that it makes the football look like a certain part of a woman's anatomy, but my mind has always tended to lean towards the sophomoric.

Trey Edmunds Injury Check In
Just got to talk with Ferrell Edmunds (dad/coach of Hokies Trey and Terrell) about the new potential Hokie in the family, Tremaine, and couldn't resist asking about how Trey's leg was feeling.
He said that he thought Trey is about 90% right now, which seems about in line with what everyone in the program has said so far.
He also added he'd be a full participant in the team's preseason practices.
So not surprising news by any stretch, but still nice to hear about a guy that could take the offense to another level next year.

When did you first notice a decline in the VT offense?
We all know the VT offense has never been a consistent juggernaut. We've had ups and downs but Beamer has always seemed to prefer a ball control offense first and not necessarily seemed to worry about constantly have big threats that can score from anywhere, anytime. And I don't think there's anything wrong with it, Beamer has won lots and lots of games with his philosophy.
But...I remember a home game vs. Syracuse. Might have been 2001? We lost. Something like 21-14? The whole game the team just couldn't run the ball. I remember a few goal line stands by Syracuse where we just couldn't stick it in.
