hmmm...."Big day today...check back at hokiesports.com later"

wonder whats up?

 

[bigesse16]

Love is in the air because it seems Hokie fans will be loving this news.

 

[vtpoop]

I just hope Hokiesports isn't teasing us and getting us worked up about the ACC schedules being released today.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Even if HS is teasing that, the bigger news will follow.

I have heard the next three days at the absolute latest.

 

[vtpoop]

Getting ready to head to a meeting. Hopefully there will be good news when I return.

been a busy day at my office so im just getting in the loop about all this stuff. All i have on it is just MY speculation (nothing confirmed) but here is how i see it.

Billy Hite's son still hasnt accepted his walk on
Billy Hite has some bad vision problem right now
Shane Beamer is 1 hell of a recruiter and an experienced coach
Sheryll wants Shane in BBurg
My wife makes a lot of our decisions
Jadaveon Clowney signed his LOI to USC-E today.

An outside thought as well. One of our graduate assistants just took a coaching job. Coulsld we see another #25 come on board to help any potential new running backs coach with transition from coaching another position....like.....say....I don't know cornerbacks and special teams?

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Much like Hunz, I am only speculating of course.....

Slightly off-topic, but some good filler while we wait. Did you guys see where BC has hired Kevin Rogers as its new OC?

 

[hunzworth]

IMa be honest though there is specualtion everywhere but who knows it could be shane beamer, it could be kevin jones, could be a big change to next years schedule, or it could be internet rumor???? From what i could find theres a lot of speculation out there but 'til we actually know what it is or if it actually happens im not getting too worked up.

EVERYONE SHOULD check any other mb's the usually visit, twitter, google, etc etc maybe we can get a feel for what happening?

lets hope for one of these and not one of these

Yeah i honestly think thats a great hire for them. Honestly even better for them than he would be for us. He should be a hell of a recruiting tool in the NE and being a guy at a BCS school thats in a nice city + NFL experience etc matt ryan etc he will do good at bc. Also i think if he can use his name to recruit rogers may be more comfortable at the college level, either as a coordinator or eventual HC.

 

[vtpoop]

Yeah, I'm happy for him because he always seemed like a good guy. Just as long as BC keeps losing to us, of course!!!!!

Initial thoughts - Awesome first month for Logan Thomas to get his feet wet. Also, I'm liking the fact we get an extra week to prepare for GT's option. And while they have a bye too, we have Duke the game before that, while they have Clemson before us. The one downside is UNC has five extra days to prepare for us that we don't have...but maybe all their players will be suspended by then. Clemson and Miami back-to-back at home should be exciting as well.

And this was released at 2 p.m. by Hokiesports...wonder if this is what they meant by "big day."

I like how the schedule shapes up for us. Im interested in who Clemson/Miami have in the weeks leading up to us, i also like that we get them both early in the 1st 1/2 of the year. Yeah im glad LT gets the 4 warm up games (insert jmu comment here) Keep in mind our last 2 games will prob be against teams that prob wont be bowl eligible for their own seperate reasons, so we will prob get their best shots. All in all though i really like how our schedule shapes up. I look for miami and UNC to be our toughest games, followed by ga tech, bc, and uva/ecu.

we should rank our games toughest to easiest while we wait.

Clemson has Troy, Wofford, Auburn and Florida State, all at home before they play us.
Miami is at Maryland on Labor Day Night, open, then Ohio State, Kansas State and Bethune-Cookman before they play us.
Maryland also has an open date after the Labor Day Night game. Hmmm, you don't think the JMU game has impacted the way other teams are scheduling, now do you?
