Hokies vs. Huskers: Lincoln Trip Report
Virginia Tech’s high drama season continued on Saturday with its win over Nebraska (whew!). This post has my onsite report of the scene in Lincoln, including the town, the people, the tailgating, and the game. All in all, a great college football destination, where our group soaked in thrilling win with tons of Hokies, thrown [...]
Locks of the Week and Nebraska Here We Come!
Well I’m on my way to Nebraska, currently in Chicago’s O’Hare Airport waiting on a connecting flight. Lots of Hokies on their way to Lincoln for this weekend’s tilt. Should be an fun weekend and a great game. Like most, I’m pretty clueless as to what to expect from these two teams. Both have strengths [...]
“Hokie Update” Hits it On the Number
As we say often, we Hokies are lucky to have many great Virginia Tech Sports related websites at our disposal for news, opinion, analysis, and other interesting info. One of our favorite here at VirginiaTechFan.com, which delivers a little bit of all of these, is TailgateFever.com. This site is probably at its peak of popularity after its [...]
Hokie Offense: Numbers Don’t Lie
What do these 7 teams have in common: Temple, UCF, Army, Wyoming, UCLA, Virginia, and Florida International? Those would be the 7 of the 119 NCAA FBS teams with a lower ranked offense than Virginia Tech. Ouch.

This is for fun only, but my buddies and I each pick games each week that we like against the USA Today spreads. We track our records over the season. I’ve won the last few years. So far this year, I’m middle of the pack. Thought I’d start sharing my picks with the world.

TCB007.com is No More
There is lots going on and lots to blog about. Big game on Saturday, Ryder Cup, (rumors of Peter Lalich off the team at UVa??), but VT also got a new recruit today - Tyrel Wilson, LB from Hampton. I’ll get to the other stuff later, but the new recruit made me remember something I meant to [...]
Josh Oglesby Rumblings, and Another Great Hokie Blog
So the news out of CFB’s Tuesday’s press conference was that Ryan Williams, freshman running back, is redshirting. A very knowledgeable football coach once told me most talented freshman running backs can learn rushing plays (i.e. what hole to hit and who to follow) pretty quickly, but what takes months of learning are blocking schemes [...]

He’s progressed in each game, and he’s starting to develop as VT’s go to guy. Beamer and Hite have generally always rotated 2 RBs, and I expect [...]
