Brent Pry at Roanoke Valley Hokie Club Dinner

The offseason will get after ya so....

.Wednesday evening at Hotel Roanoke. HUGE crowd, a nearly full ballroom, I'd say 3-4x number of people who attended last year at Salem Civic Center. Also attending were Whit, Mike Burnop, Ron Crook, Derek Jones and Brian Crist. Mike Vick was scheduled but was called to NY to film a Fox Sports segment.

Spoke to Ron Crook- an awesome dude. Super down-to-earth and friendly. Pry was working the cocktail hour talking to everyone.

Some Pry comments:

Brent Pry on Boundary Corner Podcast

A lot of the same kind of discussion we've seen popping up lately with the Tailgate Series and TKP's own interview. A few pretty interesting nuggets, especially regarding the roster changeover in the portal.

Looking back at what Pry inherited - might have been worse than we thought

Oof

I don't know how anyone could have expected any coach to come in and win right away in any P5 conference with a roster like this.

'The Magnificent 7' *Including the Hokies* explore realignment

What an awful nickname for the group. That alone should relegate us to the ODAC. Regardless, really interesting tidbit here. Our GoR deal obviously sucks so good to see we are working with others to attempt to find a way out. Shoutout to the idiot, John Swofford.

Only omission I see is Duke in terms of what they bring to the table for basketball and some non-rev sports.

Cardale Jones - Stetson Bennett "wasn't playing school."

https://sports.yahoo.com/former-ohio-state-qb-cardale-202130161.html

This is not a post to poke fun at Bennett. It is more of a question of eligibility.

My perception is that most of Tech's athletes receive their degrees in 3 years. Mostly due to the fact they are attending classes in the fall/spring/summer. Anyone who had been around for 6 years I would expect to either have multiple undergraduate or a masters.

Are their shenanigans going down at Georgia?

KFord 2023 VT Football Projections

For those who don't follow, Kelley Ford created KFord Power Rankings. I think I found him on r/cfbanalytics or in the moon crew discord a few years ago (don't recall). I'm not as familiar with his methodology as I am with Bill C/SP+, so I need to do a bit of research and circle back, but it's the offseason, and I don't feel like actually working, so I decided to share.

Hokie Tailgate Tour

Any TKPers heading out to Hardywood in Richmond to hear Pry tonight? I will be heading out there shortly.

How about any of the other upcoming stops?
