OT: Kirby Smart on the importance of recruiting

After UGA rolled UF this weekend, Smart was asked about the importance of recruiting, and essentially said his job was 25% scouting, 50% recruiting, and 25% coaching.

Here's the full quote (and source):

It's 25 percent evaluation, it's 50 percent recruiting and another 25 percent coaching," Smart said. "But if you don't recruit guys, you don't have a chance. Just go look at the best teams out there. They've got good football players.

VT - GT: Tell me about...

I'm glad for the win. I only got to watch's the condensed game, so I'd love some further thoughts on a few things I noticed.

Was that fantastic route design on Tre's first TD? That's how it looked in isolation.

The plays from our drive before half time seemed really sharp. Was the whole drive as good as the condensed drive seemed?

Ny'Quee Hawkins played a lot, but we also had our other DBs. How did he do out there?

I love watching Malachi Thomas run. He just looks like a guy who's always going in the right direction. Was he consistent throughout the game?

Go Hokies!! I appreciate anyone's insight who saw the whole game.

Gut check

What's your gut telling you about the GT game? Mine is telling me that we may actually be dominant, or at least ish.

Note: This has nothing to do with analysis. What is your gut telling you?

It's (Maybe) About to Be Tahj Time

This tweet, which appears to be from Tahj's dad, seems to indicate that his time is coming soon. As long as he is physically ready, I hope he gets to take the reigns. At this point there are zero other reasons not to let him take over

Mike Tomlin "emphatically denies" interest in any college football openings

Tomlin shut down speculation he could be in the mix to fill college coaching vacancies at USC or LSU at the end of his weekly press conference Tuesday. "Hey guys, I don't have time for that speculation," Tomlin said. "I mean, that's a joke to me. I got one of the best jobs in all of professional sport. Why would I have any interest in coaching college football?

"That will be the last time I address it. Not only today, but moving forward. Never say never, but never. OK? Anybody else got any questions about any college jobs. There's not a booster with a big enough blank check."

Watching Tech games overseas?

All, I'm going to be in Spain for a couple of weeks in the beginning of November. How have you Hokies generally watched football games outside the U.S. in the past? I'm only going to be missing the BC game but since I'm a glutton for punishment and can't get too high on my vacation, I'll need to be taken down a peg or two about halfway through - that's where the game will come in.

Thanks for any tips shared.
