Football Forum
Because we're all Sunday morning quarterbacks.
Kind of stunning news, to be honest. This was basically the flagship programming for the ACC Network and its being unceremoniously ended, with an announcement made 48 hours before its final episode. While I hope this was on their own accord, and that they are moving on to bigger and better things, this has the feeling of ESPN pulling the plug on it.

RIP Coastal Chaos.
VT will play Miami in 2022, then not again until 2025.

Hey all. I signed in today for seat selection and it appears that we have some changes from a year ago. It looks like some sections have flipped between general public and student. Also, for reasons unknown, it looks as if the front row of student section 1 is now public:
(Please disregard the arrow that clearly demonstrates my amazing artistic skills).
I went looking for an email or a release from the ticket office outlining changes to seating from last year to this year and I didn't find anything. I also called the ticket office and they weren't sure either.

VT @ ODU is 7 p.m. on Friday 9/2. ESPNU
BC @ VT is 8 p.m. on Saturday 9/10. ACCN
Wofford @ VT is 11 a.m. on Saturday 9/17. ACCN
So the first home game will be a super fun tailgate day before Pry's home opener under the lights. The second home game... not so much

Source. The explanation below is partly Bill C's, partly my interpretation from years of reading his work and listening to his podcast(s).

TL;DR: Coach Pry pays attention to moms, and moms love coach Pry
Long Story:
My wife and I are perusing the Grant Park Farmers' Market (in Atlanta) and wind up meeting this wonderful woman who is selling citrus trees. We wind up buying a Lemon tree and a Grapefruit tree from her. They have just started producing fruit, and I'm pretty jazzed about it, but I digress...

I thought about just putting this in the current recruiting thread, but I decided it was worthy of a separate more general discussion.
Great 247sports.com article about VT recruiting and their 'blue chip ratio' metric.
VT Blue Chip Ratio
The basic premise is that to be a contender, you have to have the blue chip talent. Specifically, any team that contends for a National Championship has to have a roster with >50% blue chippers.
(Spoiler, VT doesn't.)
Its a great read; and sobering.

So, a few days ago, Will Baizer (well known Texas blogger) tweeted this:
Now, if you spend way too much time following college football (like me), or you're a Longhorns fan, you would've gotten the joke: Joseph Ossai is a former Texas player who was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals. Oseph Jossai is a fictional person (hence the joke).

There's a former player (unanonymous and as of now un-verified) doing an AMA on r/CFB. He played 4 years at a G5, then grad-transferred to a P5 program.

Just a heads up to everyone, the seat selection e-mails were sent out a little while ago. Check your times because according to this e-mail, my seat selection time is 6/6/2022 at 3:22 AM. I e-mailed HokieTix to let them know that they may have a computer problem. Or at least I hope it is a computer problem.
EDIT:
HokieTix sent out another e-mail correcting my time. I am now selecting on 6/6/2022 at 3:22 PM. So yeah, it was a computer bug.
