If Vick was in high school now? Where would he go?

With VAs recruiting landscape changing, the Hokies have found themselves on the losing end of several recruiting battles. The Buckeyes have been the benefactors of VTs misfortune. That led many recruiting analysts to ask the $ million questions:
If Vick was in high school now? Where would he go?

Stupid question, but going to ask re: new gameday programs

I saw on Hokiesports.com last week that one of the changes starting this year at the games is that programs (the magazines) are free, as opposed to the $5 they used to cost. That sounds pretty awesome to me, since I've gotten one at every game I've ever attended. But I haven't seen any reports of what they're like now. Did anybody pick one up last week? What does it look like? Is the quality any different now that they're free? And how does the German Club feel about the change?? They used to be the guys selling them, although I don't know if they got any of the proceeds.

My apologies if this has been brought up somewhere else on the forums. I did a cursory search and didn't come up with anything.

Bold Predictions...

Give three bold predictions for Saturday nights primetime showdown. I'll get this started...

1. Our secondary picks off JT Barrett 3 times
2. Brewer throws 3TDs and passes for over 320 yards
3. Virginia Tech defense holds OSUs offense to less than 10 points

View from football facility blocked

Shane Beamer just posted a picture from the patio of the football facility. Looking towards Lane stadium, it will be completely blocked by the new indoor practice field. Does not look good at all.

Any word on our uniforms Saturday?

Looks like anOSU will be wearing alternates, http://collegespun.com/big-ten/ohio-state/ohio-state-will-wear-its-alter...
...so does this put us in white? I know there was mention of "uniforms were ordered last year so don't blame me," which makes me worry about the possibility of our own alternate unis since this is such a big game.

weekly weather report, the biggest game of the season...so far

Ladies and gentlemen it's here. The game we've had circled on our calendars since the horrific sun bowl, and one that seems like, on paper at least, that we have a real shot at winning. This game will be on national television and I don't think we can stress enough that we NEED this win. There will be tons of big name recruits at the horseshoe, and we have a young and exciting team coming in. Oh, and to top it all off, the entire country will be watching. No pressure added to the team or anything but this is a big deal, and Tech has been reeling a little bit these last two years.

Luther Maddy confident about defeating Ohio State

Maddy said, Im really confident in our team. Were a good, capable team this year and I think we can go up there and definitely pull out a W. If we play our best football, we can definitely get that win.

Should Urban Meyer be worried?

Weather for Saturday

80% Chance of Rain on Saturday ... Wind at 11mph. Still a little early, and I'm just planning what I need to wear for a day of tailgating. But wanted to see what role this could play in the game.

My initial thoughts is that this would just be a wash (Get it...rain, wash?) as both teams are going to be run-heavy, especially early. I do think this could eliminate the deep-play threat (slight VT edge? thought I'd like to unleash I.Ford on a seam route early).

Thoughts?

Hoping for this kind of rain instead

Make it rain

How should the Hokies repay Ohio State for supporting VT in the past?

Say what you will about Ohio State, their fans and athletic department respect the Virginia Tech Hokies and the football program coach Frank Beamer created. After the student massacre at Virginia Tech, OSU was one of the Universities wearing Hokies helmets during game.
Also, in a recent interview Coach Urban admitted that he learned so much from Beamer about Special Team when Meyer was promoted from receiver to special team coach. Likewise, coach Scot Loeffler admitted he learned a lot working for coach Meyer at the University of Florida.

Hokies in the NFL - Open the 2014 Season

NFL starts tonight and weve got some guys playing under the lights.

Normally I would include all the games the first post of the week but, there is so much information that is wrong and still being entered, due to it being first week, it would be misinformation, at this point. I will update this again Saturday with the information for the rest of the games.

This one just feels different

Most of us, including me, were not yet born the last time tOSU lost a home opener (1978). Bud Foster was a linebacker and strong safety at Murray State and had not yet crossed paths with Frank Beamer, who would join the staff the following year. In Columbus, they have a football tradition rivaled by few. They also have a current string of success. While we have endured two tough seasons, tOSU has completed two undefeated regular seasons. There is a reason the media is writing it up like they are.

The game poster at 11 Warriors shows an ax and a tree stump. What they dont know is that it is Moorehead and Co. who have been furiously choppin wood, day by day, piece by piece.

Big thank you to Admin, writers, and columnists

I came here at some point last year and have checked TKP everyday save maybe 4 or 5 days. The effort everyone puts in is stellar.

I legitimately think there is more info coming out this season when compared to last. More breakdowns, analyses, etc make the offseason and the start of this season that much more bearable.

I don't know how many new members there are to TKP but it feels like it has grown. It also seems to self govern itself pretty well which really is great. Every once in a while there are knuckleheads but it seems in the end it doesn't go too far. No one wants to ruin the great thing that so many of us share here.
