Because we're all Sunday morning quarterbacks.
Devestating news. Hudson has all kinds of potential in the zone scheme. I thought he should have started at right guard. Nester is very gifted, but struggled a bit with lateral movement. However, he has all kinds of potential. Both guys got most of their snaps at right guard this season, so there is suddenly a big hole.

In his presser today, Whit said he wants feedback from the fans, and oh boy do we have some!
Setting aside coaching changes, as I doubt he's going to be receptive to many "Fire Fuente!" or "Fire Corny" emails, perhaps we can channel our frustration into some constructive criticism.
Personally:
1) There *are* far too many walls up around this organization. We can't watch practices, not enough coaches are available for press conferences.
2) Donating to Virginia Tech is way too difficult. The Hokie Club website is confusing and difficult to use.
3) Messaging to alumni is poor. I'm in my 30s and a vast majority of my VT alumni friends do not donate and wouldn't know how to do so if they wanted to

It may sound crazy, but consider a few things:
- Justin is about the same age as Dabo was when Dabo became interim HC
- Justin was a position coach as was Dabo
- Justin has a former HC and DC (Tracy Claeys) and NFL/CoDc Bill Teelink) on his staff to help him
What might the coaching staff look like in the short term:
Justin Hamilton - HC
Tracy Claeys - DC
Bill Teerlinck - DL Coach
Darryl Tapp - CO DL Coach
Jack Tyler - Line Backers
Person Prioleau - Safeties

We saw him dressed and on the sideline, he was pumping up the other players and I'm assuming doling out advice. Does anyone know if he didn't play due to the issues stemming from last week's game or something new?

Think about this. He is 4-1 against UVA, who I'm sure will be retaining Bronco. VT is going to pony up $10M to buy him out? This may have been the tipping point. When couched in the terms of a new DC, no spring practice, top 2 DBs opt out/injured most of the year, and still walloping the in-state rival, you have to wonder what the thought process is for Whit. I know we've hashed this out and we're ready to stroke the check, but it's going to be a more difficult decision after tonight.

What questions should she ask him? I told her not to ask him anything about Fuente being fired or let go, about Tony Elliott, or any other stupid question that even if Laaser knew the answer to (which I doubt he does) he wouldn't answer it anyways. What are some legitimate questions she can ask? I don't have any myself other than the ones I told her not to ask haha

What an ass! In 2019, I saw their coaching staff arguing with our on filed players during the game which only added to my complete lack of respect for this guy and Pitt. He's a discredit to coaching, imo, and they keep out recruiting us here in the 757 and whipping our butts more often than not. I'm ready for a drink.

Very strange to not see him on the field this year after a promising 2019 campaign. Would he not be a better PR candidate over Mitchell?

Pitt and GT can't seem to get the lights going, but Pickett's arm has been electric.
Update: turns out a nearby accident at the stadium knocked out a transformer.

Though terms were not disclosed, ESPN's annual fee is expected to be in the low $300 million range, according to Sports Business Journal, a considerable and expected increase from the $55 million per year that the conference receives from CBSβa bargain deal that was struck in 1996. CBS pulled out of negotiations this spring after the price tag got too high, SBJ reported.
Compare this to the ACC where the total conference revenue in 2018 was about 460 million. This might be a problem.

I heard on Packer and Durham that the ACC asked some schools if there is any interest to play a game on December 19th. VT was not one of the schools that they mentioned.
Asking TKP community, what are your thoughts? Should we schedule another one?
In my honest opinion, I'm not even sure if we have the numbers to play another game unless we can possibly unload some of the Freshmen and let them have their way.
