I was curious about how UNC went from being an average university whose overall gpa wasn't all that impressive in the early 1980's into becoming what we now hear as "Harvard of the South".

I did an internet search and found a topic called "Grade Inflation at UNC-Chapel Hill". It was a report to the Faculty Council from February 2, 2000.

With everything going on at UNC, this report seems to be a concern for giving students higher grades than they deserved thus inflating the overall gpa average at the university. I believe the average gpa was under 2.5 at one point before all the extra credits and curve scores were included.

It is a pretty good read!

I can no longer watch an inept coaching staff manage this team into the ground. You will need a crowbar to open my wallet for this team.

The offensive scheme of this team is ludicrous. Our QB (Brewer) is single-handedly losing VT football games, yet our coaching staff will still not make a change. It's over folks. Whit, I beg you to make a change NOW!!

Lets say SL is fired after the seaon... what are some REALISTIC options for VT?

I would like to see a whoe philosophy change... spread and score.. but Some ppl I would like to see is

1. Lincoln Riley.. Would instantly make VT a contender for some of the top QB's/WR in the area.

2. Brian Scott ODU OC.. one of the best offenses in all of College football no matter what level. Knows the state, especially the 757.

3. Marshall's OC Bill Legg.. He is an older coach far from a up and comer but has a great working system and dicipline on offense that VT has not seen in 15 years.


my reach is
Charlie Weis More of the style that Beamer likes.. He is still getting paid by ND, and Kansas./Horrible head coach but pretty damn good OC. Would be better than SL even if he is doing it for a hobby.

UVA to knock VT out of bowl game 31-21 but we won't be bowling either after tough-loss to Miami

Old Spice presents: You make the call

READ THIS FIRST

247 has him rated as a 4 star fro NJ......good get for Hoos.

Can you guess what it is ??? In my opinion, its a major lack of creativity in the play calling plus execution by the players too however I put the major flaw on the coaches its almost like they prepare to lose.....

Hello Hokies!
I am a herd fan and first off I want to say I respect your fans and program so much. You have always treated us with the upmost respect and kindness and I hope yall received the same when you visited Huntington a few years back. Anyway, my sister is a die hard hokie fan and has been since she could walk. She has never been to a home football game and she is the only hokie in my family while the rest of us are herd fans. This year I wanted to change that for her and I am bringing her to the VT vs UVA game this Friday for her first game. I want to make this the best experience for her possible. What are some things that would be fun to do or that are a must do before the big game? Tailgating of course but I would love to hear some ideas. Thank you all very much in advance and the best of luck to yall in your game against the wimps from UVA and the rest of your season. Hope we play each other again soon in the near future!

GO HERD!!! GO HOKIES!!!!

Or at least I think that's what he's trying to do here

...oh, wait...not that.

BEAMERBALL at its finest.

The French can now deny VT a bowl game by beating them next week.

Just wanted to post Whits email. For every response that I get that states "it does not matter or he will not see the email or one is wasting their time," I promise to repost the email address as a response.

P.S. The VT AD is a public employee and his email is public knowledge and provided to the public by Virginia Tech University.

Here is a post game interview I'd like to see:

Reporter to Bud "...well coach, your defensive scheme seemed very solid - held Wake to 0 points for 4 quarters....what do you think about the Execution of the Offense?"

Bud: "I'm all for it"

The O put up 254 yards. The D gave up 234. Based on my calculations, the O will rank 97 to 99th in America tomorrow. With UVA and that D looming, it appears our legendary coach will have out done himself again with another VT offense ranked outside of 100th in America. The D will rank about 20th to 21st and with UVAs O looming, Bud will put another VT defense in the top 20 by seasons end. But hey, "just wait just wait until next year. This O will be different in Coach Beamers 28th or 29th year." LOL. He is changed and I am sure has learned and grown and next year is our year. Now hey, if not next year, just wait until 2016 then that will be our year. LOL.

Folks have some common sense and email your athletic director now. GET RID OF HIM.

Defense Efficiency Rankings. Foster's D is ranked first in the country.

Didn't see Hokies losing to winless Appy St.

0 points? Really? against the worst team in the ACC? Defense did their part. Offense must have missed the bus to the game. We should not have to tolerate this crap.

Bowden Syndrome was the disease. The admin allowed the cancer to grow and Beamer died weeks ago along with the football program. Now your in HELL

The lowest of all lows in football history. Maybe we should send Blacksburg High Football team to play for the Commonwealth cup to have better chance.

"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?

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.

Punt on first possession. How can a D1 team have such sorry offense. We rather punt than score. We may set a new NCAA record for punts in a game. Offense looks totally lost.

...so did Wake win?

Bounce kicked us off the air in favor of a Steven Seagal movie. How bad do you have to be for a network to rather show Steven Seagal?
