Dirty Martellus Bennett Body Slams Kyle Fuller (LINK)
Kyle Fuller went to make a play at Bears practice on Monday and Martellus Bennett took offense and body slams him. ESPN is reporting he has been fined and suspended for conduct detrimental to the team.
No need for stuff like this. He could have seriously injured Kyle who is playing extremely well for the Bears and a key cog for their secondary this year.

FSU Partially Pays for Winston's Insurance Policy
Jameis put out a 10 Million dollar Insurance Policy in case of injury. There is a Student Assistant Fund that other teams including FSU have used to help protect highly rated players. For example Texas A&M used it on and O-Line and with that he decided to return to school for his senior year. I get the point that it is trying to help the player come back and finish his education with taking some risk out if he gets hurt. IMO its like paying for a player to stay and win except he doesn't receive any of the $ unless he falls out of top 10 or gets injured like Latimore of South Carolina

2014-15 Schedule Predictions
Preseason Camp is here, and over on my home forums as I'll call them (The Something Awful Forums), I tend to start the preseason predictions thread. That's expansive to include any posters' teams, given the TKP's Hokie appropriate focus, I figured this would be a good time to start thinking about the schedule and for me to get some perspective on how we think our Hokies will fair against it. I certainly wouldn't dismiss predictions for other teams though and if y'all want to break it out for more than just our Hokies I'm prepped and ready for that.

Virginia Tech's dining hall has been voted as the best campus food
Virginia Tech's dining hall has been voted as the best campus food. For all student athletes trying to get bigger and stronger, the Virginia Tech Hokies is the place to be. I certainly hope that Josh Sweat , Deberry, Dalton are listening in their quest to get bigger while maintaining their top speed.

Kalvin Cline Joining the Corps
So over the last few weeks, I've been working orientation, as have several friends. Late last week, we got one hell of a surprise. Sophomore tight end Kalvin Cline will be joining the VTCC. Being a DI athlete, he will have a modified schedule, but will be an active member of both organizations. Personally, I think this is great for both the football program and the Corps, and I wanted to share with y'all.
