It's here: Week 0 Betting Lines

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.

ODU names starting QB

https://www.wavy.com/sports/odu-football/odu-names-hayden-wolff-starting...

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 Assistant Athletic Director For Strategic Communications

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.

Hokies in the NFL 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.

Level Seven Podcast - New episode with Billy Hite is awesome

There is a new Level Seven Podcast with Roth, Burnop and Billy Hite. It will not disappoint.

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.

Well worth the listen.

Comparison of Competitiveness by Conferences

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.

ACC Road Trip - Virginia Tech

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.
