Because we're all Sunday morning quarterbacks.

Best Rookie QB so far is......Logan Thomas

Ron Jaworski was just on SportsCenter and was asked who the best rookie quarterback of the preseason was so far and he named everybody's favorite TE, Logan Thomas. He gave him an incredibly positive review, even going as far as saying he looked like definite All-Pro material in the future. Nice to finally hear that other people are beginning to see what most of us already have.

Jaws on LT3

Not sure if anyone else saw this and I have no clips, but Jaws was just talking about rookie QBs on ESPN and said Logan looked better than any of the rest. Even said "looked like a future all-pro."

Wade Hansen will work with OL this Preseason

If Woody Baron is unable to play and redshirts due to his offseason right ankle surgery, then Tech will most likely end up playing a true freshman DT in its two-deep.

Hi everyone, I'll be photographing football games for The Key Play this season, check them out at http://photos.thekeyplay.com throughout the season!

To start off, this past weekend I attended the Football Media Day at Lane Stadium, where DBU decided to break up the interviews with a dance off and a rap battle: http://photos.thekeyplay.com/Football-Media-Day-2014/

Hokie Club Picnic: Whit Gets It

Yesterday, I decided to finish off my summer properly and go check out the Hokie Club's welcome back picnic. I was not disappointed, even with the rain keeping us off the field. First off, a tip of the hat to Outback, as the food was pretty darn good. The rest of the event was very well set up. There was a little ticket/parking pass raffle and a silent auction with some nice goodies. The main event, of course, was a little talk from some athletic department staff and coaches, including an introduction of all the freshmen and newcomers, followed by an autograph session. Here's what I picked up from my time in Lane.

FOX Sports Ranks VT's entrance at #2 - caption is of Scott Stadium

Clicked the link just to make sure we were on the list and noted that we were #2. I immediately noticed that the stadium wasn't Lane, and was in fact taken at LOLUVA. Funny thing is there are more VT fans than WHO's. Cannon fodder...

Here is a link

Coach Frank Beamer to be on SiriusXM 91 "First Team" (9am)

CFB will be on SirusXM 91 "First Team", show runs 7-10am EDT. I expect he'll be on the 3rd hour based on the way they listed their guests. I will post any pertinent comments or updates (as I see them), and try to record it so I don't miss anything (must catch all the coach-speak). This show is hosted by Greg McElroy (of 'Bama QB fame) and Taylor Zarzour.

Ronny Vandyke

So I haven't heard much about him so far?

Anybody else?

I mention this, because of the picture on the front of the Roanoke Times sports page, seeing him in comparison to the other players on the team. He's a big dude, I didn't realize exactly how big he was until then...

So what's the Buzz?
