Because we're all Sunday morning quarterbacks.
It seems like Drew Harris has found a college. After spending two years at a Junior College, he signed with UMass. Hopefully, he has put his academic setbacks behind him. Good luck to Drew!

Over the years, Virginia Tech Hokies sport affiliates have provided memorable quotes that keep Hokie nation entertained during and after games. Players, coaches, alumni, and administrators have all contributed to this ongoing trend. Each fan has his/her own memorable quote. One of my favorite is coach Beamer saying, "the further away you are from the ball, the better your chances of seeing the field". And, "weve got as loud a stadium as any college football team in the nation."
What are your favorite memorable quotes from a Virginia Tech Hokie?
Folks,
Just a heads up.. anyone w boys who are passionate about hoops should take a look. Last year we traveled from out of state and had a blast.. JJ, the players and assistant coaches were hands on and incredibly kind to my boys. I can only imagine that Buzz's staff and team will be the same way.
My kids stayed late pretty much everyday and watched open practice w the team. The incoming freshman were there practicing too and were fantastic.. Trevor Thompson, Ben, Devin, Malik all of them.. Ben can sky like crazy and was performing "dunk city" type drills.. for kids who dont get to see this stuff close up, they were all over it.
@hokiejoe3 @WhitBabcock Tickets will be offered first to donors/season ticket holders next week via online or mail— VT Promotions (@VTPromos) June 9, 2014
Today I sent a tweet over to Whit Babcock about tickets for the Ohio State game and received back a prompt answer from @VTPromos that tickets will be available to donors and season ticket holders next week.
Sometimes, you like to hear blast-from-the-past names to bring back happy memories of Tech teams from the past. This is not one of those times.
DiNapoli, an offensive lineman who was drafted by the Raiders in the 4th round in 1998, was busted selling Oxycodone to undercover DEA agents in April and May. He carved out a nice little career that included some starting time at C and G for the Raiders, Titans and Cowboys from 1998-2004.
The Examiner came up with a list of first year Hokies player who will make an instant impact to prevent VT from repeating another mediocre season like they did in 2013. The list includes Michael Brewer, Marshawn Williams, Holland Fisher, Ricky Walker, and Carlis Parker.

Not really able to find much on the guy. This appears to be his first ever coaching job from what I can see, but he's very young. Played QB at Valpo til he graduated in 2013, but saw very little playing time. (Career stats: 17 completions over 45 attempts for 224 yards, 1 TD and 2 INTs)
If you want to follow him on twitter, you can find him at @coachschafer11
Was just reading some NCAA news and saw that the power 5 want autonomy, or there may be a division 4. Even mentioned more pressure on independents (probably meaning ND full membership). Was hoping to see some TKP input/news but didn't see anything. Anyone up on what is going on here?
Enjoy:
Not too surprising to Hokie fans, but Luther Maddy has been named one of the best defensive linemen on campus. He is one of the Hokie players that flirted with the NFL draft and decided to come back. Hopefully, he will be able to wreak havoc against opposing teams and improve his NFL stock. Im glad big Luther is back on campus.

Pelini thinks high school players should be able to sign with teams as soon as they receive scholarship offers.
I happen to agree with him. Thoughts?
