Game Recordings
TKP,
I'll be on an airplane back from Japan on Nov 15th and missing the Duke game. This is no doubt going to be a great game and I don't want to just have to read about it instead of watching it. I don't know anyone with TiVo or anything like it. Is there a source for recorded VT games so I can pretend to be watching the game in real time?

Gameday Preview show
Quick hits from the ESPN Gameday preview show:
-clip in opening sequence of TimeCop telling his team that anything is possible. I had a good hearty laugh.
-Desmond and Corso both pick VT to play FSU in Charlotte. Nice to see a little love. Herbstreit picked Pitt -- like he's ever going to say anything good about us.

Predictions: Starting QB, RB, and WR's.
Everyone,
I would love to hear everyone's final prediction for starting skill positions.
QB: (top 3)
RB: (top 3
WR's: (top 3)
Also throw in the starting 5 on the OL.
You can also clarify if you think the top 3 will be one group for William and Mary and already change by the Ohio State game.
I could see Beamer starting Trey or JC for game one but changing it by game two for instance. He has always seemed to have a seniority thing...but that seems to be changing, especially at WR.
Here are my picks:
QB-Brewer, Leal, Motley
RB-Williams, Mackenzie, JC....Edmunds sits due to injury recovery
WR-Standford, Ford, Byrn
OL-Gibson, Teller, Farris, Conte, Mclaughlin

Virginia Tech Football: Change The World
This is a pretty inspirational message, and looks like our Hokies are embracing it with gusto.
The Virginia Tech football team has adapted these 10 life lesson as its 2014 team motto. To view the whole speech that this team motto is based on, watch this video from Admiral McRaven.
Admiral McRaven is a highly decorated Navy SEAL, the future Chancellor of the University of Texas system and gave this awesome commencement address to the Longhorns this past spring:

11% Chance to beat anOSU
Here's a really interesting, if a bit old, article in a Cleveland newspaper. It's from July, so Braxton was still expected to play. (I didn't see this posted anywhere else--and I'm on this site a ridiculous number of times per day--anyway sorry if it's a duplicate.) Things I found interesting:
1) They have us pegged as their second most difficult opponent on the year.
2) That still only gives us an 11% chance of winning, in their eyes.
3) There's a 2012 video of Brewer in there from Texas Tech.

What one word would you use to describe the Virginia Tech Hokies?
ACC coaches including Frank Beamer have been asked to describe their team in one word.
To my surprise, coach Beamer described the Virginia Tech Hokies as: Developing

Game Day Preparations
I had a moment of panic yesterday when I decided to look ahead in my TV guide and saw that next Saturday's lineup was available.
The panic came from the fact that I haven't been able to see any real scrimmage footage, the fact that we don't know who the starting QB is, and the fact that I just don't feel ready yet.
What do you guys do to get prepared for gameday?
For me it's picking out a bourbon for the season, deciding on what meats I'll be smoking that first weekend, and finally allowing myself to purchase some Oktoberfest and Pumpkin beers. I feel like if I am not prepared, the team isn't prepared, and if the team isn't prepared, we will lose.
