What Virginia Tech has to do to win 10+ games this season.
This article does a great analysis about what the Virginia Tech Hokies have to do this season to win 10+ games. It confirms what TKP members have been suggesting for a while. It is easier said than done, but at this stage of the season everything is possible. I personally will not give up hope of a 10 wins season until the year is over.

Bud Foster - Virginia Tech defensive coordinator (1987)
Foster and Frank Beamer have been together since 1981, when Foster was a graduate assistant at Murray State. The two moved to Blacksburg in 1987 and have remained together, with Foster leading what is typically one of the best defenses in the country since 1995.

US Patent Office cancels Washington Redskins trademark
http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/11102096/us-patent-office-cancels-washington-redskins-trademark
Long story short... The US Patent Office found the name Washington Redskins to be disparaging to Native Americans in a 2-1 vote, and as such, the trademark needed to be voided and canceled. This is effective immediately.

Kevin Jones named Special Assistant to the Athletic Director
Looks like he will have a hand in recruiting, as well as a role in connecting with our current and former pro athletes (i.e. $$$). Welcome back to the AD, KJ!
EDIT: His job title makes me think of this guy:

Needed: good college football preview magazines
My husband is currently deployed again, and I would like to send him some of the preview magazines for this college football season. Any of y'all have recommendations for which ones I should get? Maybe ones that feature Tech articles? Thanks!

Mike Vick, the trendsetter. Is he underappreciated?
In preparation for his annual charity event in Hampton Roads, Mike Vick gave an interview with David Teel in which he claimed to be the trendsetter for QBs such as Russell Wilson, Colin Kaepernick, Robert Griffin, Cam Newton, Johnny Manziel, and Andrew Luck among others. For some reason, this season Vick finds himself as Geno Smiths back with the New York Jets.
As a player who paved the way for so many successful QBs and who gave defensive coordinators nightmares preparing for his game, is Michael underappreciated in the NFL?

All this soccer talk just reminds me that there's no football being played...
It's like salt in a wound.
Is there anyone else out there who finds "futbol" inferior, flamboyant, and utterly uninteresting?

Childhood memory at Lane Stadium
I grew up in Christiansburg from 1982-1992 and have many great memories of going to VT games as a kid. Watching BRUCE!, sneaking into games as my dad was a volunteer ticket-taker, sitting wherever me and my friends wanted (there were plenty of empties), etc.
