For anyone worried that Metallica isn't well aware of what Enter Sandman means to VT, worry no more. The guy looked like he was just out there having fun.
Would love to be able to bring them in town just to take in a game and experience the moment.

Reading all this, I would be surprised if our home and home cycle with ND is less than a decade long. Annual matchups with Clemson, as well as potentially FSU and Miami as well?

From Meriden Connecticut, the 6-foot-3, 225-pounder held three offers out of high school before enrolling at Temple in 2022. He appeared in four games that year, using it as his redshirt season.
He continued to contribute in a backup role in 2023. Playing in eight games, he recorded nine total tackles, including a tackle for loss, as well as two quarterback hurries.
In 2024, he appeared in 12 games, starting one of those and recording 25 total tackles, a blocked kick, and a quarterback hurry. The blocked punt came in a game against UConn and was recovered in the end zone by a teammate for a touchdown. He also returned a punt for nine yards on special teams.

Who does everyone think is getting drafted? Do any Hokies sneak into the top rounds?
The names I have seen on the most boards as the top Hokies are Strong and Lane with Tuten lurking.

Moments ago, Gavin Crawford announced he will transfer to Virginia Tech, making him the fourth addition of Moore's tenure.
The 6-foot-3, 300-pounder was rated an 87 by 247Sports, making him a three-star prospect out of high school. He held 19 scholarship offers, ultimately choosing West Virginia over Florida, Maryland, Michigan State, UCLA, and others.
247Sports scouting analyst Hudson Standish described Crawford as a "violent finisher who can operate with effectiveness when asked to pull or climb to the second level and pick off backers."
He has four seasons of eligibility plus a redshirt season remaining and projects as an interior lineman at the collegiate level.

Saturday , my two youngest daughters had the privilege of playing flag football in the Swamp at the University of Florida. I coach my youngest daughter's 2nd-3rd grade team, and this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience ;playing all day and then under the lights in a massive SEC stadium, surrounded by hundreds of other girls doing the same. It was truly special.
