One of my favorite offseason games: Pick a team that went 4-8 (or worse) in 2022 that will go 8-4 (or better) in 2023.
Here's a list of those teams:
SOURCE: Penn State is expected to hire Virginia WR coach Marques Hagans as its new wide receivers coach. He's been on staff at UVA, his alma mater, since 2011 and developed a lot of talent there. @mzenitz first reported the move.โ Bruce Feldman (@BruceFeldmanCFB) January 23, 2023
I recently got a free trial to USA Today's football coaching salary database, and I thought I'd share some insights on where VT stands.
Where VT stands relative to other schools (for which we have data):
Virginia Tech running back Keshawn King is in the transfer portal.King ran for 443 yards and 3 touchdowns this season.โ Tom VanHaaren (@TomVH) January 18, 2023
[Mod edit: corrected name in title]
Pry was graded 'F'. I think that is a little extreme, but it's interesting to see what the perception is outside the program.

Posting this only as an informational piece on former Hokie footballer, and Virginia Beach City Councilman Aaron Rouse has won the Special Election for the 7th Senate District of Virginia. The seat was previously held by Jen Kiggans, who recently defeated Elaine Luria for the 2nd Congressional District seat.
The 6-4 LB/S accumulated 217 tackles as a Hokie, and causing 9 turnovers during his 52 game career and earned first team ALL-ACC honors his Junior season.
Line is UGa (-13.5)
TCU pays out at 5:1
Over/Under is 63.5
If this is the year the Big XII wins the playoff it will be sweet sweet irony given that $EC is stealing their two marquee programs.
Discuss.

Shane got himself an almost $4m raise and a contract extension through 2027. I'm happy for him, but deeply amused that USC is trying to claim "Beamerball" as their own ๐คฃ
With all the bowl games complete and only the National title game left, the ACC ties the Big Ten at .556 winning percentage which tops the Big 12 (.33), the Pact12 (.429) and the SEC (.545)
I spent a little time putting together a spreadsheet of All ACC Player from 2018 through 2022. It includes the name, position, team, and recruiting year. It's filterable, maybe. Not sure if I have to allow editor access to do that, so if that doesn't work, let me know so that I can change it.
If you want to look at it, there are some interesting things to see, like how players progress and how many players are one-year All ACC, and then disappear (either to transfer, graduation, injury, or otherwise). You can see how VT compares to other programs in the ACC.
I've been trying to combine a bit of data to take a peek at what our depth chart is likely to look like come next season.
A few roster updates for the #Hokies: DT Mario Kendricks and DE Pheldarius Payne will both return next year. Tech is hopeful DT Norell Pollard will be back too, though that's not finalized yet.โ Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) December 21, 2022
The full chain from bitter:
