It's that time of the year for all of you degenerates like me ready to lose their ass betting on 18-22y/o carrying around an egg shaped object. I think hokieME usually does these but I'm getting the mid week itch and its Week 0 so there aren't really many teams to read across.
The Nebraska Line is intriguing. Neutral site (in Ireland?). Nebraska throttle NW last year but its a completely new team.
Hayden Wolf- I watched their bowl game footage. He throws a pretty ball. Very slow footwork mechanics. It will be critical for the Hokies to take away the middle of the field and get quick pressure. He takes a long time to get set up to throw. He isn't a run threat.
WDBJ's Travis Wells named the new Assistant Athletic Director For Strategic Communications.
His chief job will be handling media relations for the football program, such as writing game notes, arranging interviews and moderating press conferences.
Always a consummate professional, I think Travis will increase the quality of our press conferences and hopefully help foster a better relationship between the coaching staff, players, and the beat writers.

I'm on mobile and not good with it but the team photo was tweeted out HERE my immediate observation is Malachai Thomas in a boot on his left foot. Break it down more...
Big Ten's Kevin Warren tells @RealSportsHBO he sees Big Ten having 20 members & paying players. "Those (paying players) are things we have to resolve. We have to. So I want to be part of this conversation & will be part of this conversation of what we can do to make this better"โ Brett McMurphy (@Brett_McMurphy) August 19, 2022
Welcome to another year of me trying to find every Hokie on an NFL football contract. I will try to find every roster move in NFL as best I can. As always if you see a roster move please add a comment with it. I will not be doing any CFL or arena league anymore. It's really frustrating and time-consuming feel free to add them in the comments for others if you wish.
I will also add a list of every former Hokies coaching in the NFL.
He goes into many things of the past and is as straight forward as ever. Definitely holds no punches which makes me even more excited about Pry and supporting this new regime.
According to Virginia Tech's 2022 football media guide, the 2026 contest at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg has been rescheduled and will now be contested seven seasons later on Saturday, Sept. 10, 2033. The game in Provo remains as scheduled, which means the series will now kickoff at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo on Sept. 14, 2030.
#Hokies wide receiver Dallan Wright posted this picture on Instagram this afternoon. Looks like the redshirt sophomore from Saluda, S.C. got out of surgery today. pic.twitter.com/L2Jn9V7sFNโ David Cunningham (@therealdcunna) August 16, 2022

JUST IN per release: Old Dominion University Offensive Coordinator Dave Patenaude has resigned, head coach Ricky Rahne announced today.โ Jami Frankenberry (@JamiVP) August 12, 2022
3 weeks before the Monarchs face us in the opener and the OC just...quits? That's weird.
This all started from an argument with a co-worker (went to UF) about how the SEC is the best football. My argument was that just because you have the best players doesn't mean it's the best product. Bama and UGA plowing through people doesn't make for entertaining games.
This lead me to the thought of how competitive each conference is within itself. My hypothesis was that the ACC would be as good as any because well we've all dealt with coastal chaos.
This table show just how close and how far apart the games were within each conference from the 2021 season.
ESPN has pulled out of Big Ten media rights negotiations, ending one of the longest sports media relationships in the business. ESPN said no to the conference's final offer of a 7-year/$380 million per-year package, sources tell SBJ. Story to be filed soon.โ John Ourand (@Ourand_SBJ) August 9, 2022

Thought this was pretty good, Brent Pry has all that media-facing energy that CJF could never muster, and I think that matters nowadays more than ever.
Also liked the facilities tour, they should let Hoke Club members pay to hang out in that lounge, looks like a good time.
Eddie Royal was in town for the ACCNetwork Road Trip. The VT episode airs tomorrow @ 7pm. But today he spoke to the team and has me ready to run through a brick wall. Or a wood wall. Or steel. Idgaf what the wall's made of, I'm running my ass through it.
