Eye in the Sky scrimmage#1: Expansion edition…

|

Yes, this just in rain, is still rumored to be wet. That and VT is South East Conference bound! Or not so much. Take your pick. I realize most of you want out of the A.c.c. and into the S.E.C. That said, after all I’ve picked up in the last 72 hours, I am sure […] READ MORE


The 2011 VT offense: first to worst…

|

Gotta admit … this is the most challenging and therefore the most interesting piece I’ve ever been Fortunate enough (with a capital “F”) to humbly opine for techsideline.com (TSL.com); ever, period, game-over, end of story.   Accordingly, I fully expect that this could be the most challenged piece I’ve ever written for TSL.com by the […] READ MORE


2011 Virginia Tech football season preview (part III):

|

At the midway point I have Virginia Tech pegged to open up at a none to shabby 6-1 on the 2011 regular season campaign. 52% of you agry, with a significant 38% calling for a perfect seven dash zip; and only 10% calling for 5-2 or worse. The truth is that it all depends. As […] READ MORE


Oktoberfest 2011, Orange and Maroon style: (part II)

|

Right now at the close of September business, I have VT slated to open up 4-o, and I bet most of you do to. No biggie, no thin ice glazing over Duck Pond, nor are you out in the proverbial limb with that one. In fact, I’ve gone so far as to put my name […] READ MORE


Where does Virginia Tech really rank??? (part I)

The 2011 college football pre-season magazines are hitting a newsstand near you in full force.   Among those already published would be the much vaunted Phil Steele College Football Preview, Athlon, The Sporting News, and Lindy’s. Additionally, ESPN.com has had their post-spring Top-25 out for several weeks now.   VT is ranked as high as […] READ MORE


Public Scrimmage#2 Eye in the Sky:

|

“Sloppy” or “ouch”. Those were my two words to describe scrimmage#2 on the Pay message-board Saturday night. 4 dropped passes; three of which hit the intended Receiver right between the hands — note not just right between the proverbial numbers. 4 fumbles. (no less than two by D.Evans who never got started on what can […] READ MORE


Public Scrimmage#1 Eye in the Sky:

|

Mostly good. That’s how I’d describe things in two notes or less on Saturday down in an unusually cool New River Valley. Saw a lot of things I liked — for instance the antique car show and the extremely vintage fire-truck parked along Spring Road. Saw just enough young wimminz in their always fetching summertime […] READ MORE
