Next year has a lot of potential

"Next year" is something we've gotten use to hearing in Hokienation regarding improvement and potential. It has almost become cliche around here. I can't even remember the last time right before the start of a season I didn't think that this team has crazy potential.

For now though, all I care about is beating these pansies.

As much as I look forward to seeing who Babcock selects to replace Beamer in the future, it won't be next year, and probably rightfully so. 4 of our 5 losses are by one score or less which to me means we could be sitting here with one loss. If not for the unusually painful attrition this year, we might have had a shot at being undefeated at this point. Unlikely with inconsistent oline play, but still there was[/I] a chance. Maddy being out really hurt us in the Miami game but woulda, coulda, shoulda...

Next year does appear to be lining up well for us but even with the team at full health, we need Babcock will be overseeing the hire.

All speculation on my part, but if it plays out like this, will there be enough time for a new guy to prepare a savvy offense for next season or will we be saying "next year is going to be something special" again next year?

Hey guys what recruits will be at the VT vs UVA game?

Who is Coach Beamer going to sign? I think we get at least 3 or 4 stars with 2 Wrs and 2 OLs. The future is bright under our legendary coach. Man oh man.....you guys just wait until next year after we get more experience and health. Oh yea....did you know that other teams also get one year older and one year to heal.

D now 18th in America. I noticed. O 88th. Why Bama wins another title

VT D ranks 18th in America. Dang that ole Bud Foster. Where is the old loyalists TSL regulars on this board that love to slam Foster. You know who you are. What did I tell you? Bud will have this D finish in the top 20 by seasons end. It's an AMAZING Coaching Job and he should be defensive coach of the year with the injuries they have had and still 18th in America and still climbing. As for our O...still trending south. 88th now in total O.

Alabama, number 1 in total D. Number 23 in total O. That's correct if your thought was the number 23 and VT's O. VT has not had an offense ANYWHERE CLOSE in total O to 23rd since Ricky Bustle left. A number one defense...really....a top 10 D and a good efficient O can win titles. Bama has done this before with very similar numbers. I like their chances. P.S. Did you know that last season, Virginia Tech had the 5th ranked total defense in America by season's end? Many forget. I did not.

HokieHaven.com's Partnership With WSLS

Guys, I mentioned it earlier on today's chat, but wanted to officially announce HokieHaven.com's partnership with WSLS-TV in Roanoke. As many of you may know, Rivals.com has entered into an exclusive partnership with NBC Sports. In this agreement, we'll share content and be featured on the new NBC Sports Network. We've already had a long-standing relationship as NBC has aired the Army All-American game, for which we've been much of the on-air talent and also selected the players for the game.

But while nationally, NBC and Rivals are slowly integrating features, WSLS and HokieHaven.com have decided to step on the gas. We'll be sharing content, information and other online features. You'll see our content and name featured on WSLS NBC and Fox21/27 (newscasts handled and produced by WSLS) in Roanoke and Lynchburg and vice versa.

I'm REALLY excited about this deal, which will expand our coverage and allow us to bring you even more Virginia Tech and recruiting coverage. And there's plenty more to come as we really hash out what's to come.

This will help give you the MOST for your subscription and also help make us the leader for Virginia Tech and recruiting coverage.
