New Football Uniforms coming in May? - Update: Confirmed...ish
May 23rd Update:
A #Hokies football uniforms update: It's still going to be a while. "Mid-summer" is the best estimate, I've been told. The issue is VT is at the mercy of Nike's production schedule. They don't currently have the new unis, so the release is not going to be imminent.— Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) May 23, 2024

G5 discussing a G5-only playoff
Just speculation at this point, but there are discussions happening to flip the bird to the SEC and Big10, and for the G5 to make their own playoff and potentially a single conference / league with multiple divisions... call me crazy, but the ACC should at least hear them out.

Video: Brent Davis Breaks Down one of our plays
Interesting video from Brent Davis. He breaks down the GT counter scheme we used to open up a big gain for Kyron Drones against BC this year. I enjoyed this and thought others might too.

It's Official: 'Virginia law allows schools to pay athletes for NIL'
Via ESPN: Virginia law allows schools to pay athletes for NIL
How screwed is everyone else, though, once this is adopted in SEC states in regards to their war chests compared to everyone else's?

Who helped/hurt their chances for playing time at the spring game (film reviews teaser)
Helped themselves:
1) Keyshawn Burgos
2) Lance Williams
3) Jason Abbey (especially with the injury to CJ McCray)
4) Ja Riccous Hariston
5) PJ Prioleau
6) Malachi Madison
7) Deric Dandy
Disappointing day
1) Kevin Gilliam and Wilfred Pene
2) Entire linebacking group
3) Armani Cotman
4) Layth Ghannam
5) Parker Clements (in pass protection, was fine run blocking)
Scrimmage format and team distribution makes it difficult to assess:
1) Aeneas Peebles (didn't have a strong two gap next to him, making him vulnerable to being trappped.)
2) Corners (lots of basic zones, with throws targeting linebackers)
3) Backup QBs

Spring Game '24 Roll Call
Who's gonna be in Blacksburg this weekend?
Interestingly enough I will be in town this weekend and walking around on Saturday, but probably not actually attending the game itself since I'll be with some people who mostly don't care for football, as part of an alumni fundraiser for a student organization i was involved in. and a great chance to show Mrs Chumps around the area for the first time.

Hokies Football announces new staff
We had already heard about Cam Phillips, who they are formalizing as a Graduate Assistant along with Brayden Devault-Smith, who was a GA at UT-Martin last season. He played football at Vanderbilt and Samford.
Most substantial was the addition of Mike Moyseenko as an Offensive Analyst who will be focused on film study, data analysis as well as scouting and game planning. Played at Maryland and in 16 years on the coaching side has stops at Maryland, Towson, Shepherd, UConn, Lehigh and Hamilton College.

2024 Virginia Tech Reseating
Well... like the US election cycles... a full reseating year is once again upon us.
Curious to hear from our local east-standers in terms of what they plan on doing with the new (larger) student section. Will that impact your east vs west selection?
Also, what date is everyone getting? I was quite surprised that ticket selection opens on April 9 and my date is May 15. When looking at the Hokie Point system online, I'm in he top 10-15%. One month to get through ~10% seems like a long time!
