Because we're all Sunday morning quarterbacks.

Early fan exit sadness...

For the first time I witnessed the early exit atrocity in lane. Admittedly I have not been able to get back to Lane Stadium as much as I'd like since graduation. However, at half time many alumni (well aged I might add) were absolutely appalled at how empty the stadium was at half time, specifically the NEZ and Student sections in the east stands. For the rest of the second half I had to endure constant talks of the disrespect and fair-weather mentality of the students in particular. (These are my observations of alumni, not my opinions)

Hokies in the NFL #4 2014

The Giants absent David Wilson and still suspended Jayron Hosely obliterated the Redskins on Thursday night. Cousins certainly didnt look like Captain Kirk after his confidence got shot like a redshirted crewman.
They list Deangelo Hall as IR but there is no detail official on the injury yet from the NFL or from the Redskins. Im sure you can find a bunch of unofficial on it. So far, in 3 games, he had 16 tackles and forced fumble and a fumble recovery.

Virginia Tech vs. Western Michigan: Hokie Highlights & Complete game...

(The local channels feed of the game was complete crap most of the game so I captured the E$PN3 feed instead for complete game and highlights videos. Eventually I will get a TV copy of the game and once I do, I will replace the E$PN3 videos with those.)

Plays from under center

I would love to see us get under center a little more than a handful of plays a game. Handing the ball off from under center lets a running back get up to speed to hit the hole a lot harder. Plus, it makes it a tad harder for the LB to read.

I have to believe we don't do so because our Oline is just not up to par yet.

Kyshoen Jarrett discusses helping his mom care for his brother

During the ACC coaches teleconference on Wednesday, Frank Beamer was asked a couple of questions about senior rover Kyshoen Jarrett.

Q. I wanted to ask you about Kyshoen Jarrett, obviously a guy who has a lot on his plate off the field, taking care of his brother. Where does he rank maturity wise amongst some of the players you've coached at Virginia Tech?

FRANK BEAMER: Well, you read the background, and those of us that know the background, very proud, understand what a sacrifice he's had to make over the years, and that's kind of the way you think about him, a guy that has been involved with his home life a lot and does a good job for us on the football field.

Michael Brewer Benched in Hokie 35-17 win

After throwing 2 picks and for only 172 and 2 tds Brewer was benched late in the 4th for back up QB Mark Leal who handed the ball off for 35 yards and helped seal the win against WMU. When asked about the QB switch after the game Frank Beamer said "Leal was getting after the extremely short passing game in practice and we knew if Brewer struggled we could bring in Leal. We did and it worked out for the win today." \sarcasm

Bucky Rogers

Has anyone else noticed the commentators call him Bucky Rogers about 15 times this season, or maybe I am mishearing him every time.

Looking to buy tickets to VT vs UNC game for my birthday. However on the tickets sites the "visitors" side, VT, is not listed. Anyone know if sections 101-112 are the Tech side?

Does anybody know anything about Fredrick Johnson?

I was on ESPN and they mentioned we offered him a scholarship (2015 recruit) at OT, he'll be with Settle and Tolliver for the Western Michigan game...broke his ankle during his junior year so 247 doesn't have him rated. 6'8" 300 lbs.
