Because we're all Sunday morning quarterbacks.
A bunch of my old Tech friends and I entered the Battle at Bristol lottery for 4 tickets each to try and get enough tickets for us all to go, but unfortunately nobody won. Asking around, nobody has actually heard of anyone winning the lottery. To dispel the conspiracy theorist inside of me, can anyone who actually won the lottery speak up?
Will be the first time im going to a game by myself and not with a tailgating group.
Anyone on here have tailgate I can crash?
I'll make sure to bring some party thanks.
I was listening to College Sports Nation on XM the other day and they were discussing whether Bud would want to stick around if he were passed over for HC and two questions occurred to me:
If you're the AD at VT and...
1. Bud isn't your first choice (due to a desire for culture change), how far down the list does he drop?
2. Bud IS your first choice because Bud Foster but you open up interviews for fairness/legality, what name would change your mind if they showed interest?
Word over on 247 is that we'll be wearing all black unis against Carolina. Wonder if they're bringing back the pro combats or if we'll be getting a whole new kit. Thoughts?
Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney sent a note worth sharing to Frank Beamer.
Many cool tributes to Coach Beamer arriving.
Appreciate Dabo Swinney's wonderful gesture!

Joshua Jackson - Evan Watkins did a pay wall article on him so I could not read it (and if I could it wouldn't be talked about up here), but his crystal ball has not changed, Watkins would have changed his vote had his article indicated he was looking elsewhere, and they do keep those balls constantly updated because Deablo has had his updated with UNC stuff. I believe he will stay solid even though Loeffler may be gone. He is ranked about the same as Lawson was and our qb depth is looking solid for whoever takes over.
Saturday's game will be broadcast by @ESPN
Get here early to celebrate Coach Beamer!
Noon kickoff— #GameDay4Frank (@VT_Football) November 15, 2015
SO it looks like VT game against UNC will get the ESPN main channel.
Memphis (Fuente) and Houston (Herman) going at it. Memphis currently up 13-0. Thoughts?
Well, we tried. And we came together. But we came up short.
@VT_Football There won't be a #GameDay4Frank, but we've got nothing but love for Coach Beamer and the program.

FoxSports' Alex Marvez reported South Carolina's assistant coaches were told to "stop pursuing commitments from high school players" in the aim of leaving them open for the next coaching staff. The report used anonymous sources and did not name who ordered the assistants to not take any pledges.

I really hate to admit this, but UNC is playing like the program i wish we could be. They will beat the hell out of you on the ground and then shut you down on defense. And they don't take their foot of the gas at any point. Their kick return game might be the best in the country. They have a Senior QB but many consider their best is currently backing him up. Their running back is an absolute beast as well. The last 7 quarters they have scored 118 against 2 teams that beat us.
Whats the likelihood of a noon game getting college gameday? Also, why is Beamers last home game a noon game?
Some good games this weekend: UGA/Auburn, will Richt keep coaching?, Bama/Miss st, Memphis/Houston will one of these coaches be in Blacksburg next year?.
Teams to root for so #gameday4Frank has a better shot: Illinois, Maryland UNC, Iowa St,Baylor.
Hey I'm watching gameday and haven't seen any signs for us yet. Anyone else have better luck?
Well it looks like another big program is in the market for a new HC. Tough news out of Missouri. The full story is linked below...
Gary Pinkel is resigning from his post as Missouri Tigers football coach for health reasons.
Pinkel was diagnosed in May 2015 with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, the school said on its website.
He will coach the rest of the season through Dec. 31 unless a new coach is found.
Ya'll - we've already seen some decommits, and will probably see more from the 2016 recruiting class. We will also undoubtedly see attrition from our current roster when the new staff evaluates the depth chart. Joe tweeted, partially sarcastically, something like how we will have 50 available scholarships in 2017 during the game last night. But he has a point..
With that, which potential coaching name out there would provide the most immediate impact to the 2016 class?
Are there any names out there have committed players that would follow the new coach to VT?
With 5 wins and LOLUVA still to play, it's safe to say we have bowl eligibility wrapped up. My question, do you think Frank's last game is enticing enough to the higher up bowls? I don't think there will be any trouble selling it out, would probably get a little ratings bump on the TV.
Honestly unsure what the order is, but you gotta think that either the Music City/Belk Bowl would be very interested in that.
My wife and I were watching the game at a local bar last night. An older hokie fan (probably mid 70s) a couple of tables over, had been having a few, and was making funny comments about the game all night. Near the end of the game he says really loudly "I'd live to be a hundred if it weren't for this damn football team!" Cracked me up, heart attack Hokies, got to love them. Never thought I'd survive the 2004 season myself seemed like every game Randall would pull some miracle out to win it in the end. Hopefully we can pull two more W's for coach and send him out on a high note!
Who will Foster target as OC if he's named the next HC?
