Bitter blog - Friday reset: Surgery for Gayle; OL Clark picks South Carolina
All this soccer talk just reminds me that there's no football being played...
It's like salt in a wound.
Is there anyone else out there who finds "futbol" inferior, flamboyant, and utterly uninteresting?
Childhood memory at Lane Stadium
I grew up in Christiansburg from 1982-1992 and have many great memories of going to VT games as a kid. Watching BRUCE!, sneaking into games as my dad was a volunteer ticket-taker, sitting wherever me and my friends wanted (there were plenty of empties), etc.

Q&A: Virginia Tech assistant Shane Beamer
Shane Beamer believes that the biggest need for Virginia Tech in the 2015 class is defensive line. With about 5 seniors graduating this year, the Hokies are also in need of offensive linemen. The 2015 recruiting class is loaded with defensive and offensive linemen. Hopefully, they are paying attention and are looking for early playing time at an elite program like Virginia Tech.

First time to Lane Stadium
I am a long time Tech football fan from Michigan that is going to come down to the Miami game this year (been on my list for about 20 years!). Thursday night ESPN, Miami, can't wait!!! I am having a hard time finding info on where visiting team fans sit (I don't want to buy my ticket on Stubhub, drive down, and end up in the wrong section). I would love any feedback or suggestions as to where I should try to sit that would not be in the middle of a bunch of Miami fans. I am not as young as I used to be so the student section(s) would not be my first choice either.
Thanks in advance!
Drew Harris signed with UMass
It seems like Drew Harris has found a college. After spending two years at a Junior College, he signed with UMass. Hopefully, he has put his academic setbacks behind him. Good luck to Drew!

Your favorite memorable quotes from a Virginia Tech Hokie
Over the years, Virginia Tech Hokies sport affiliates have provided memorable quotes that keep Hokie nation entertained during and after games. Players, coaches, alumni, and administrators have all contributed to this ongoing trend. Each fan has his/her own memorable quote. One of my favorite is coach Beamer saying, "the further away you are from the ball, the better your chances of seeing the field". And, "weve got as loud a stadium as any college football team in the nation."
What are your favorite memorable quotes from a Virginia Tech Hokie?
VT Basketball camps this summer
Folks,
Just a heads up.. anyone w boys who are passionate about hoops should take a look. Last year we traveled from out of state and had a blast.. JJ, the players and assistant coaches were hands on and incredibly kind to my boys. I can only imagine that Buzz's staff and team will be the same way.
My kids stayed late pretty much everyday and watched open practice w the team. The incoming freshman were there practicing too and were fantastic.. Trevor Thompson, Ben, Devin, Malik all of them.. Ben can sky like crazy and was performing "dunk city" type drills.. for kids who dont get to see this stuff close up, they were all over it.

Gennaro DiNapoli arrested on drug charges
Sometimes, you like to hear blast-from-the-past names to bring back happy memories of Tech teams from the past. This is not one of those times.
DiNapoli, an offensive lineman who was drafted by the Raiders in the 4th round in 1998, was busted selling Oxycodone to undercover DEA agents in April and May. He carved out a nice little career that included some starting time at C and G for the Raiders, Titans and Cowboys from 1998-2004.

Hokies hire new Assistant QB coach - Quinn Schafer
Not really able to find much on the guy. This appears to be his first ever coaching job from what I can see, but he's very young. Played QB at Valpo til he graduated in 2013, but saw very little playing time. (Career stats: 17 completions over 45 attempts for 224 yards, 1 TD and 2 INTs)
If you want to follow him on twitter, you can find him at @coachschafer11
