Harbaugh is insane.

Shai McKenzie Won't Redshirt in 2015
I'm sure Joey or Kevin will have more on this tonight.

Ohio State Blasting "Enter Sandman" At Practice
I'm glad they have such good taste in music!
Won't do anything to simulate the effect when we add in 66,000 people jumping, yelling, and shaking their keys.
Ohio State Is Blasting "Enter Sandman" At Practice While Preparing For Virginia Tech
Another Alternative? Which Defense would you rather have?
2015 D or 2007 D?
We got destroyed by LSU (er...maybe... i don't remember that game happening....) but I love the rebound vs FSU, Miami, and yes...even BC. So it's hard to me to say which one I'd prefer this year.
2007 D players had some great special teams impact a la Klempsun game, so hopefully we're just as well rounded this year as then.
Who's the better no. 1 team we've played?
2004 USC or 2015 OSU?
Without having played a down yet this year, my money is already on 2004 USC that we played at FedEx for the following reasons:
1. Less suspensions. USC had Reggie Bush, Matt Leinart, and everyone else that I can remember, whereas OSU already has several suspensions / injuries that is common knowledge.
2. Offense. Mainly for us. If we believe the hype (and believe me...we're drinking it hard...), then our O should be better than what it was in 2004, when it was the Bryan Randall show for the first game.
Predict our first play from scrimmage (Offense)
I saw this idea on another forum and thought it was pretty cool. Predict what you think our offense will run for the first play of the season (assuming we start at our own 25).
My prediction is an outside zone handoff to JCC to the right side for a gain of 1.5 yards.
These last 6 days will be painful to withstand.
Former UVA QB Greyson Lambert Named UGA Starter
ESPN: Greyson Lambert Wins Georgia Bulldogs Starting QB Job
Greyson Lambert went from starting for a bottom-feeding ACC team and losing the QB battle over the spring with the same bottom-feeding ACC team, to transferring to UGA over the summer and now being named the starter for a #9 preseason ranked SEC team. That is quite the journey.
I'm not sure if this says more about how bad UVA is developing their QBs or how dire UGA's QB situation is. Track record leans towards the former than the latter.
OSU 2015 Trailer: Virginia Tech
Found this while getting all nostalgic and ready for football season. An OSU fan made this and I gotta tip my hat to this man.
Couldn't help but grin in excitement for this game.
Apologies if this was already posted.

2015 Six Pick - Week One
College Football is back. Big props to power 5 schools who play each other in Home and Home series and not whichever NFL owner is willing to dump-truck money at your feet, You AD's the real MVPs.
Lets begin the season with Six degrees of Kevin Bacon Psalm, "They danced in prayer... or so that their touchdowns would be plentiful... or so their tackles would be good. And they danced to stay physically fit... and show their school spirit. And they danced to celebrate."
sorry Kev, fat guys do it better

TKP ESPN College Pick'em Group
The group is back and running (know some have already rejoined).
If you want to join or rejoin. Search for "TheKeyPlay" under group directory. It's a private group so you will need the password.

It is a confidence pool. So each week you straight up pick (no spread) the winners of 10 games. Then you rank your confidence in the pick (give 10 points to the pick you are MOST confident in and 1 to the LEAST confident pick). If you are correct you get the number of points you assigned to the pick.
Good luck fellow Hokies!
