Because we're all Sunday morning quarterbacks.
Plenty of press conference notes ...

Saw this tweet today:
He'll be just fine RT "@AlexS_ESPN: Its official: Bama will have true freshmn starting at LT. Cam Robinson gets the nod on the depth chart."— Derek Tyson (@DerekTysonESPN) August 25, 2014
Made me think of this, and the other hot takes like it, just one year ago:
I don't know if this has been posted yet, but they're doing an all-Lane team and this week is D-Line. I'll save everyone the trouble and just tell you to click Bruce Smith before looking at the rest.
My 4 were Bruce Smith, Cornell Brown, Corey Moore, Darryl Tapp. Post yours on here and debate all you want.

For the Hokie fans trying to learn a little bit more about Michael Brewer, here is a recent Q&A he recently had with HokieSport.com. An interesting part of the Q&A is that Michael has a brother playing QB for Lake Travis High School. Knowing VTs history of recruiting brothers & cousins, maybe it is not too early for the staff & Michael to start recruiting the brother.
Q: How are you feeling now that you know that its official?
A: I feel good. Im extremely honored to be labeled the starter at a program like Virginia Tech. Im very thankful for my teammates and the coaching staff for entrusting me and giving me this opportunity. Im looking forward to this season.
Until yesterday, I haven't posted here since April, when my wife and I, and my daughter lost our 18 year old son, Tyler. That post read as follows:
I'm not the most frequent poster here, but i do check in basically daily to see what's up, and it is because i feel like we are a family here that i am writing this...maybe it's purely just therapeutic for me, I don't know.....
My Wife and I, and our daughter lost our beautiful 18 year old son Tyler in a horrific car accident on Sunday. It is only the love and support of our family and friends that is allowing us to cope at all right now. I would like to take this opportunity to tell you all that I consider you family too and to ask you to do this TODAY...
for winning 7 games or less and once again losing to UGA, how likely is it that GT goes after Bud for HC?
Would that be a job he'd leave Blacksburg for?
I just thought about an idea for a weekly thread, and I thought I'd run it past everyone to see if there's support for it before I pitch it to Joe et al.
Would y'all be interested in an open weekly thread where people can ask questions about football in general, our team, our schemes, etc. And then whoever knows the answer can respond? I just occasionally have minor questions that aren't really worth starting a whole thread, like "does our defensive line play left and right, or do they switch strong and weak?"
Let me know what you guys think.
There are a bunch of surprises.
I. Ford is the No. 1 X, Carlis Parker is his backup.
The starting o-line from left to right is: Gibson, Wang, Farris, Conte, McLaughlin. Teller is backing up Wang, Wade Hansen is behind McLaughlin, but ahead of Taraschke.
TE depth is: Malleck, Hodges, Cline.
J.C. Coleman and Marshawn Williams are Co-No. 1 tailbacks. Shai McKenzie is the backup and Edmunds is third-string, but really the fourth man. I'll make an educated guess and say Edmunds isn't 100% recovered from his injury, but it's encouraging that Shai is.
Tyrod starting the second half vs. The Redskins. It's on Comcast sports locally in Richmond. Your channels may vary!
Anyone know why Nike.Com doesn't have anything Virginia Tech?
RT @Beamer_Ball: As many as 16 true freshmen may dress for the opening ballgame. / Record to play under Beamer is 11 (last year).— VT Football (@VT_Football) August 23, 2014
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?
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up if they did not already know.
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.
I've heard tech is in the mix with a couple juco offensive lineman and also that rami hammad from texas a 4* 6'5 320 lb lineman who is transferring is something to watch, stacy searals was his lead recruiter at texas. Anybody hearing anything?
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
