A moment of silence for the annual VT-BC rivalry... 2005-2022

With last night's game, the official cross divisional rivalry between VT and BC has come to an end with VT holding a 12-8 edge in ACC play including 2 head to head conference title games.
May the series rest in piss

Week 2 Games thread
Didn't see one yet so got it started, there are some interesting matchups today.
Looking forward to UK/Florida and Tenn/Pitt.
Texas is gonna get run by Bama, but the head referee looks like he could make a tackle or ten.

Ohio State NIL collective setting up a chapter in Florida
Ohio State NIL collective, The Foundation, unveils plans to launch Florida chapter
Plans are in place for a Florida chapter of the collective, with the hope of having an annual fundraiser in the Miami area. Some of the top talent in the country resides in Broward and Miami-Dade counties, a place where Ohio State fans also love to flock to in the wintertime. That should be a win-win for The Foundation.

How a group of 'Next-Gen' ADs turned college football power brokers are shaping the game's future.
"A tight-knit circle of athletic director friends...... with ideas of how to reshape college athletics.
Back in the day, the think tank of emerging thinkers consisted of seven current ADs and power brokers: Del Conte (Texas), Greg Byrne (Alabama), Scott Stricklin (Florida), Ross Bjork (Texas A&M), Whit Babcock (Virginia Tech), John Currie (Wake Forest) and Greg McGarity (Gator Bowl CEO). Others circulated in and out, but that only added to their vision of the future."

VT favored by 3 vs BC
- Run Your Pool has Hokies winning by 3
- Yahoo had us opening at -3.5, but the line moved to 3
- SP+ gives us a 60% chance of winning, predicting a 24-19 win. Bill C has the line at -2.5 Hokies, not sure where he got that line from.

Blacksburg/Gameday with kids
We restarted our season tickets this year and have decided to start bringing kids one at a time up for their first regular season games. Any advice for Gameday with kids under 12? Where to take them around campus or town. Anything they would really enjoy seeing or doing? During the game any advice to keep them engaged better? Thanks y'all.

Hokies locker room robbed during ODU game.
This should be grounds to cancel the series in my book. How is there no security for the visiting team? Bush league shit.

What's the best thing to do after a back breaking loss? Take out your anger on the next guy!
Jeff Hafley thinks that pass interference calls should apply to balls that are a mile out of bounds.

Comparing what Pry inherited to other recent hires
In the midst of last night's disappointment, there have been a lot of comments (here, on twitter, etc) that say something to the effect of "Shane Beamer and Mel Tucker won in year 1, why can't we?"
I wanted to take a look at some recent hires, and see if coaches (a) actually are turning programs around quickly, and (b) how bare the cupboard is when they arrive. For each coach, I listed:

Thoughts on the Start of the Pry Era
Well, this is sure going to be a massive rebuild, but damn that is a crushing loss and one that you just can't take.
I have to say, I really like Pry, but recruiting in year one has been very uninspiring (granted, I don't follow it too closely) and less than ideal when you consider what other coaches in year one have done.

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
The Goods: King, Hollifield, The defense as a whole, Gallo.
The Bads: Effing Reffing
The Ugly: INTs, the FG attempt that wasn't, the penalties (although I will give them some slack, there, as a young team, and sometimes (Syracuse in '98) where the penalty is beneficial).

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.
