Because we're all Sunday morning quarterbacks.
I think this is the third or fourth time this season, about time all of us NoVa Hokie fans get a more regular diet of Hokie coverage... of course this wouldn't be happening if Lurch didn't have his kids in Blacksburg.
Here's to 25 kicks by Ross!
Dave Doeren likes to mimic his mascot's facial expressions.
Dave Doeren thinks that NCSU is the flagship program in North Carolina.
Dave Doeren is betting the farm on NCSU (-13.5)
Dave Doeren thinks that VT's offense is far too reliant on a star QB and that it's going to bite them when he goes out for the season with an injury.
Dave Doeren still cites Devin Leary statistics when touting his offense's prowess.
I stopped my takeaway list about halfway through the video. Pry gives a lot of good insight into the bye week and the coaches' adjustments and I didn't want to end up paraphrasing the entire press conference. Definitely worth a listen IMO.
Some takeaways:
Discussion for games from week 8 in college football.
Bored so wanted to look at the how the roster will change from this to next year, and what kind of improvement if any we can expect. It's been speculated that next year will be when the most roster attrition takes place, so I wanted to see how many players are leaving and how many could/should be replaced by the portal.
Not 100% sure but I believe we had 1-2 open scholarships at the start of this season. Looking at the roster I believe we will lose around 18-21 seniors and 5-10 current players to the transfer portal. I'll estimate on the high end of both.
Estimated turnover: 20 (Graduating) + 9 (Portal) = 29 New spots
2023 Class is currently at 19, I believe it will finish around 22.
Bye week is a nice cold glass of tea on a hot stuffy day
Bye week tucks it's shirt into its underwear.
Another Fall Saturday and another reminder of just how far this Virginia Tech football program has fallen. I suspected that the post Frank Beamer era (not sure how long of an era I anticipated) would be a struggle, but I didn't think the bottom would fall out. We've all discussed ad-nauseam why we are where we are, but in the end it doesn't really matter. What matters now is how we get back up. So lets collectively highlight any silver-linings and constructive (critical) observations from the game yesterday. Below are a couple from me:
What a game.

You guys so down trodden that you can't be bothered to start an other games thread? C'mon, plenty of good games today.
GO HOOKER!!!!
Hopefully his daddy will stress the importance of the number. Here's to 25 receptions of 25 yards!

Little late this week, playing Mr Mom and missed my YouTube notification.
As always my takeaways:
The new #CommonwealthClash trophy is here 👀(» @SmithfieldBrand) pic.twitter.com/Uau8uHh05f— HokieSports (@hokiesports) October 11, 2022
Keep in mind, this is not the Cup, this is for the all athletics competition. But man, that's certainly an interesting trophy.

Almost of my most memorable experiences in live viewing of college football have come in Lane Stadium. The rest have all been in other locations, but always involved our beloved Hokies ('95 Sugar Bowl, '05 Sugar Bowl, '16 Belk Bowl, etc).
I've more or less assessed college football at large through my personal lens... everything that makes Lane Lane.... the seating, the production value, the general fan engagement, etc, which nurtured my love for the game and made me believe that this is what college football was... which brings me to my visit to Wake Forest over the weekend.
