College Football Playoff Expanding to 12 Teams
Sources: The CFP Board of Managers has decided on a 12-team College Football Playoff during today's meeting.โ Pete Thamel (@PeteThamel) September 2, 2022
One of the main drivers of this College Football Playoff expansion was money. Presidents felt as if they were leaving too much on the table. Monday could end up a powerful motivator for starting prior to 2026.โ Pete Thamel (@PeteThamel) September 2, 2022

Bill Roth on The Sports Junkies
A lot of Junkies/Hokies content this week, they had on Bill Roth this morning.
Jason trashed Fuente a few times, which is nice coming from a broadcaster, and Roth talked up the game with ODU.

Football Away Game Tickets - 2022 Season
Has anyone heard yet about away tickets they have applied for? I reached out to the ticketing office a few weeks ago and they said we should know by end of August but I haven't heard anything which means either I didn't get any away tickets OR they're running a bit behind. Wanted to see what others have heard anything!
Go Hokies

Week 1 Other Games Thread 2022
The season is finally upon us after a long off-season of coaching changes, conference realignments, and being teased with that Nebraska meltdown last week. I for one am really looking forward to starting this weekend by letting the hate flow through me watching the Backyard Brawl. Someone is going to make an ass of themselves (outside of Pat's usual routine) and it is going to be quality entertainment.
What will y'all be watching? Leave your comments here:

Roth Report: ODU Preview
https://hokiesports.com/news/2022/8/31/virginia-tech-sports-network-roth...
There is a great quote from Pry. "One of the things I look at first is this: I want to see guys running by people to get to the football, "Pry said. "No regard for their body." No matter what the outcome of each game this season, the defense playing with great physicality and pursuit will be my barometer of success this season.

Week 1 Betting Lines and Odds
Hope everyone had an exciting week 0 I'm sitting comfortably at 1-1 on my bets and I'm back kinda early this week, about to head to my bachelor party for a long weekend in the sportsbook. A few of these lines are still fluctuating quite a bit (UNC is now a dog on some sites (lol), VT -8.5 some places) but this is current as of this morning (8/30) according to oddshark.
I'll take any and all feed back on format, for now I'm listing all ACC games that have odds and a 4-6 other matchups across the country that are intriguing.

Godfrey/WaPo on the Pry Hire
Great read by Steven Godfrey in the WaPo on VT/Fuente/Pry.
Nothing ground breaking here, but there are some very honest quotes about the past administration - Whit admits to making a "$9 million mistake" with Fuente, and Pry described Fuente as "a good Midwestern guy that didn't have in his plan and vision all the things that I think most people believe and now fully realize are really important to Tech's success."

Brent Pry on The Sports Junkies
Coach Pry was on the Sports Junkies this morning, they air of out Washington DC on 106.7 The Fan if you don't know.
Fun interview, the nugget I didn't know was apparently Pry bought Fuente's old house, and then had to change out all the floors to give it a new feel. Hopefully all the bad mojo went with it.

Week 0 Discussion Thread
Not a lot of exciting games today, but CFB is back.
Early observation: is Mark Whipple's Nebraska offense legit? I'm glad he's not still in the ACC, but he might ruin my Northwestern cover for today.

Hate'n On: Ricky Rahne
It's that time of year against folks! One week till kick off! Let the hate flow through you!!
Sticky Ricky thinks that Justin Fuente didn't get a fair shot at head coach.
Ricky Rahne thinks that Tim Tebow is why Tyler Bowen left Jacksonville.

Bud Foster Interview (Sports Gambling Podcast)
I thought it was an interesting listen. Bud talks with them for about 25 minutes (starting 5 minutes in.)
Bud talks about the Lunch Pail coming back after being retired by the previous regime. He also talks about his personal relationship with Pry over the years.
Was interesting to hear that Bud was offered a DC position in the USFL by Larry Fedora.
He seems like he is very happy in retirement.

Got excited. Sorry can't embed tweet.
