Hokie fan here.

Made the username heretilsept5 for our last game in 2009, but it seems to work well again this time.

Enjoyed watching you guys destroy ND and look forward to tailgating and enjoying Atlanta again with some of you all. Was a great time with most of you in Atlanta before and after the game in 2009.

Welcome back! Here's looking and hoping for the same result as last time!
With our season last Fall, I would take a 10 point loss to the defending champions.

What are your all's thoughts on Loeffler and Grimes coming from AU? I'm not really sure what to think as the O didn't do well while they were there, but not sure HC wasn't taking things over by then.

First off, good to have you back but as far as the former aubs go I got nothing. I didn't realize they had landed in Blacksburg. I'm sure they're compentent as the situation they left was nothing short of a flea circus. Meaning I couldn't judge by what they did under Chiz and company.

Good luck this year.

Welcome back! The thing that concerns me the most about VT is Logan Thomas. He seems to be a very good QB coming off a so-so year, with something to prove.

What do you think of y'all's team this season?
Our defense should be pretty good. D-line will be the strength and secondary will be close second. Only worry is Exum who is our physical corner had knee surgery and while he is saying he will be back, most smart fans will tell you we think he won't be back and probably for him, he shouldn't come back until ACC play. His backups played very well in spring, but definitely a drop off.

The Offense is the question mark. Grimes (new O-line coach from AU) came in and is making everyone re-earn they spot on the O-Line. There is a toughness being implemented that I have not seen since late 90's. As for Logan, last year he only trusted 1 receiver and when he threw to him, he was on, anyone else you could tell he was guiding passes or always trying to throw to a "safe" side. He does have the competitor in him to just take a game over and run 15-20 times and that is what he did near the end of our season just so we could break .500. Biggest addition is that we will have DJ Coles back and he was injured last year at TE/H-back; he will be our best receiving threat. The rest of the receivers are young and will have their day, just probably not this season. We redshirted Trey Edmonds last year at RB and he will most likely be our starter this year over the guys who played last year. He has the best speed/power combo of anyone we've got, and other than Logan I would say he has the best "star" power.

Special teams should be good. First time in a few years that we will have same kickers coming back, so it is nice to have some familiar faces.

Overall I think that Logan will have a good year and draft stock will go back up, but we'll probably go 8-5 or 9-4

heretilsept5 - do you think the game has passed Beamer by? Is it time for a change? Personally I have thought so for awhile, but i would like to hear from a hokie.

The biggest thing for me is the in game management. It just seems atrocious (esp in any kind of big game) like he goes away from all tendencies, but not in a common sense fashion. It's like he goes with what literatly doesn't make sense because there is no way anyone else would he think he would actually call for it.

My hope is that he has really moved to CEO position and he lets Loeffler run the O like he has allowed Foster to run the D. Beamer has had his hands on the O for far too long and that is why the crazy conservative and stupid tendencies have remained.
